The patriarch of the family is [[Cranky Kong]], the original Donkey Kong. In the [[Donkey Kong (franchise)|''Donkey Kong'' franchise]] series 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 of the family, including the [[Animal Friends]] and the [[Kremling]] [[K. Lumsy]]. However, with the exception of five recurring Kong characters, such as [[Donkey Kong|Donkey]], [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]], [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]], [[Cranky Kong|Cranky]] and [[Funky Kong]], they haven't had a physical appearance in over a decade since 2007.

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 Barrel]]s, [[DK Coin]]s, the [[Level Flag]]s, [[DK Space]]s, and various other objects around Donkey Kong Island. The symbol is also used in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], although in this context, it is used as the logo for the [[Donkey Kong (franchise)|''Donkey Kong'' franchise]] in general instead of just the Kong Family members (since [[King K. Rool]] and [[Klaptrap]]s also use it).
