Donkey Kong
Donkey Kong, often abbreviated as DK, is
a video game character introduced in the
1981 arcade game “Donkey Kong” as a
villain. Created by Shigeru Miyamoto, he’s
a large, muscular ape known for his
strength and a trademark red tie with his
initials. Over time, DK has evolved from a
villain to a hero, starring in his own series
where he protects Donkey Kong Island.
