Kong
- This article is about the species of sapient primates that mostly appear in theDonkey Kong franchise. For the boss group fromDonkey Kong Jungle Beat, seeKong (boss group). For the character who was once referred to as simply "Kong", seeDonkey Kong.
- “I'm the king of the Kong, the simian Don Juan.”

Kongs (known asApes in production literature for theDonkey Kong Country television series)[1] are a species of sapient primates that make up much of the cast of theDonkey Kong franchise, with theeponymous character himself being one. Kongs are capable of actions such as speech and building houses and typically wear clothing, though the amount varies drastically with the individual, with Donkey Kong himself wearing only a tie, while many others wear full outfits. Kongs seem to be native toDonkey Kong Island, and they share an animosity with much of the crocodilianKremling race. While most of them share the surname "Kong," they are not all directly related to one another. Kongs can resemble any number of real-life primates, with Donkey Kong,Funky Kong, and several others resembling gorillas;Diddy Kong resembling a monkey;Dixie Kong andTiny Kong resembling chimpanzees; andLanky Kong resembling an orangutan. Many of the Kong characters' first names, especially in the games, end with an "ee" sound (as well as the letter "y") like Donkey Kong's name, with some exceptions, such asVoid Kong and theKong boss group (aside fromKarate Kong andGhastly King).
General information[edit]
Name[edit]
The name "Kong" comes from a Japanese slang word for "gorilla."[2]
Generic names of various real-life types of primates, such as "monkeys," "chimps," "gorillas," and "apes," are used fairly interchangeably to describe Kongs, especially in earlier media such asSaturday Supercade and theDonkey Kong Country cartoon, which never refer to Kongs as such outside their individual names. However, the term "baboon" seems to be reserved as an insult, potentially due to it sounding similar to the word "buffoon," and is even used against other species, such asCranky Kong using it againstKrusha in "From Zero to Hero." Despite this, according to an article in the Nintendo Switch news app, Kongs are their own species separate from apes.[3]
Society[edit]
In the games, the society of Kongs lives on Donkey Kong Island, living in houses made of wood, usually built on top of trees. Donkey Kong is their king, though sometimes Cranky Kong fills the role of being a leader. Generic Kongs are not commonly seen, with most known members of the species being individual characters.
The instruction booklet forDonkey Kong Country states that Manky Kongs were rejected by the Kongs. Despite this, Lanky Kong, who is an orangutan himself, is friendly to the Kongs and also part of the Kong Family.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie, in contrast to the games, depicts the Kongs living in a bigger society and being more technologically advanced, having an entire factory dedicated to the manufacturing ofkarts.
Diet[edit]
Kongs usually take a strong liking tobananas, which are the subject of many stories involving the species. In particular, Donkey Kong has a cave full of them and is constantly seen eating them. Despite this, Kongs are also seen eating other kinds of food.
Speech[edit]
In theDonkey Kong Country series and inThe Super Mario Bros. Movie, Kongs are capable of speaking intelligibly. However, in most games where Kongs appear alongside other species, particularly humans, as demonstrated inMario Super Sluggers and theMario & Sonic series, they simply say the word "Ook" followed by a translation of what they are saying in parentheses. Sometimes they do not speak at all, such as inSaturday Supercade.
Kong Family[edit]
TheKong Family[4] (alternativelyKong family),[5] also known as theDonkey Kong Family,[6]Kong Klan,[7][8]DK Crew,[9][10]DK Krew,[11] andDonkey Kong Crew,[12] is the main group of Kongs, beingDonkey Kong's family and close friends. The patriarch of the family is Cranky Kong, the original Donkey Kong. In theDonkey Kong franchise of video games, members of the Kong Family are either playable characters or supporting characters that aid the main heroes on their journey, although they also receive help from allies outside the family, including theAnimal Friends and theKremlingK. Lumsy.
Though only officialized inDonkey Kong Country, the concept of a family of Kongs dates back toDonkey Kong Jr.
The family often uses the initials "DK" as a symbol, which most often represents Donkey Kong. It is seen on Donkey Kong's tie,DK Barrels,DK Coins, theLevel Flags,DK Spaces, and various other objects around Donkey Kong Island. The symbol is also used in theSuper Smash Bros. series, although in this context, it is used as the logo for theDonkey Kong franchise in general instead of just the Kong Family members (sinceKing K. Rool andKlaptraps also use it).
According toGregg Mayles, the characters were loosely intended to be an actual family, but the extended relations were left deliberately vague by the release ofDonkey Kong Country due to uncanny details such asDiddy Kong having a tail andCandy Kong looking humanoid, as more priority was put in diversifying the designs rather than fitting it into a cohesive family tree background.[13]
