Donkey Kong

Donkey Kong, also known simply as DK or D. Kong,[1][2] is a major character in the Mariofranchise and the main protagonist of the Donkey Kong franchise. A powerful, yet carefree Kong from Donkey Kong Island, Donkey Kong spends his days collecting bananas and spending time with his friends, particularly his best friend Diddy Kong. When trouble arises, Donkey Kong jumps headfirst into the action to help his friends and protect his island. However, he has also been portrayed as a villain on multiple occasions, such as in the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series. Despite his name, Donkey Kong is the third known Kong to be named as such; his grandfather Cranky Kong was the original Donkey Kong, while his father Donkey Kong Jr.was the second.
