'''Inka Dinka Doo''' is a major character from the [[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' animated series]].
[[File:InkaDinkaDoo-Faces.jpg|thumb|left|The four faces of Inka Dinka Doo.]]
'''Inka Dinka Doo''' is a large stone totem from the [[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' animated series]]. He has four different faces, which he changes between to show his different emotions, which seem to be neutral/solemn, serious/mad, furious, and content/happy. Apparently, [[Kaptain Skurvy]]'s great-great-great-grandfather hid the [[Crystal Coconut]] in Inka Dinka Doo's eye. However, it fell out and [[Donkey Kong]] came and picked it up, making him the future ruler of the island. DK often visits [[Inka Dinka Doo's Temple]] to ask Inka for advice on his current situation or help him solve a dillema. His name is based off of {{wp|Enkidu}}, a legendary figure featured in the ''{{wp|Epic of Gilgamesh}}'', the {{wp|Inca Empire}}, and the saying "Inka Dinka Doo" by actor and comedian {{wp|Jimmy Durante}}.


He is a living stone totem who resides in a temple on [[Donkey Kong Island|Kongo Bongo Island]]. He has four different faces, which he changes between to show his different emotions, which seem to be neutral/solemn, serious/mad, furious, and content/happy. Long ago, [[Kaptain Skurvy]]'s great-great-great-grandfather hid the [[Crystal Coconut]] in Inka Dinka Doo's eye. Years later, however, it fell out and [[Donkey Kong]] came and picked it up, thus making him the future ruler of the island. DK often visits [[Inka Dinka Doo's Temple]] to ask Inka for advice on his current situation or help him solve a dilemma.

==History==
Inka Dinka Doo first appeared on the series in the episode "[[Raiders of the Lost Banana]]." In that episode, [[Polly Roger]] steals the Crystal Coconut for [[King K. Rool]], and DK and [[Diddy Kong]] chase him into Inka Dinka Doo's Temple. They manage to reclaim the Coconut, but before leaving the temple, DK finds a [[Golden Banana]] belonging to Inka and gives it to [[Candy Kong]] as a present, enraging the idol. As [[Cranky Kong]] tells DK and Diddy, however, the Golden Banana is cursed, and soon bad luck comes to those around Candy. DK and Diddy eventually return the Banana to Inka, which placates him, but Polly Roger then steals it and brings it to K. Rool. Fortunately for the Kongs, only their nemesis is now to be doomed by the Banana's curse since he has evil intentions with it.

Later, in the episode "[[Orangutango]]," on the day of Kongo Bongo's annual Orangutango dancing contest, Inka Dinka Doo later called DK to the temple, saying he would need to pass a few tests to save the island. These tests involved sending DK through three passageways while avoiding spikes, pits, and flying arrows, respectively. DK managed to pass these tests, after which Inka told him to go save the island. DK didn't understand, but shortly afterward, [[Funky Kong]], who was supposed to dance against K. Rool in the contest, hurt his ankle and couldn't dance. DK filled in for Funky, and then realized that Inka had in fact been giving him dancing lessons, for Inka had foreseen that Funky would injure himself (although, DK did not win the contest, but K. Rool fortunately ended up blowing his chance for the prize, a wish on the [[Crystal Coconut]], that would grant him domination over the island by wishing [[General Klump]] would stop doing an annoying dance).

In the episode "[[Legend of the Crystal Coconut]]," [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] went to [[Inka Dinka Doo's Temple]] to ask him about the secrets of the Crystal Coconut. He gives them the ominous message, "To know everything, you must give up everything." Donkey Kong interprets this wrong, and ends up giving the Crystal Coconut to King. K. Rool in order to learn about it. Later in the episode, Diddy and Cranky get the Coconut back, and Diddy takes it to Inka Dinka Doo's Temple to hide it. When Skurvy, [[Green Kroc]], and [[Kutlass (character)|Kutlass]] corner the Kongs in the temple, Diddy runs away after antagonizing the pirates, drawing away Kutlass and Green Croc. DK throws the coconut at Skurvy, placating his toothache and forcing the pirate to grudgingly give up the gem as thanks. At the end of the episode, Donkey Kong tells Inka Dinka Doo, "I will be back, you can count on it," The statue simply responds "Whatever."

Another example of Inka Dinka Doo's loosening up was during the episode "[[Vote of Kong-Fidence]]," in which he allows an election for the future ruler of Kongo Bongo, even though in the past he had been clear about wanting Donkey Kong as ruler. It is possible that he just had a lot of confidence in him.
