Donkey Kong the Third

**Donkey Kong the Third** (ドンキーコング3世, *Donkī Kongu 3-sei*), also known as "**DK**" for short, is fictional character and protagonists of the *S.S.B.* *Donkey Kong* series created by Shigeru Miyamoto. He is the future ruler of Kongo Bongo Island, and Mario's friendly rival.

He is from a primate-like species called Kongs, and the leader of the DK crew. He is the trustworthy hero (sometimes reluctantly) of his home island that shows pride for his great physical strength. He often stops King K. Rool from stealing the Crystal Coconut.

When trouble arises, Donkey Kong jumps headfirst into the action to help his friends and protect his island. Donkey Kong spends his days collecting bananas and spending time with his friends, particularly along with Diddy Kong forming a comedy double act.
