Kong Family
The Kong Family (also known as the Kong Klan and the DK Crew) is the name of all of Donkey Kong's family and friends. Though they share the same last name not all of them are related to one another but instead the name is a sign of their union as a species, tribe and/or clan. Thus membership appears to be earned. They are always at odds with the evil Kremling Krew who are always attempting to steal their Banana Hoard or kidnap them. In some games they are playable or supporting characters.

[edit] Former Members
The villainous Manky Kongs used to be members of the Kong Family, but were kicked out of the family for being too mischievous. As a result, they are also described as "Kong reject orangutans". They are drastically different in appearance from the Kongs. Another species of evil primates known as Minkeys may or may not be former members of the Kong Family.
