His name comes from "kalimba", a type of {{wp|mbira}}, an African instrument and the basis of his design. Half his body is painted cyan while the other half is painted red, and he wears a rope headband.  

Krazy Kalimba first appears in the opening cutscene of ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and its [[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D|3D]] and [[Donkey Kong Country Returns HD|HD]] ports. In it, after emerging from [[Donkey Kong Island]]'s volcano, he goes to hypnotize the island's animals to steal bananas alongside the other commanders; he is shown hypnotizing an elephant specifically. Krazy Kalimba then tries to hypnotize [[Donkey Kong]] inside his treehouse. This fails, leading to Krazy Kalimba being pummeled by Donkey Kong and flung into the distance.  

When Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong reach the boss level of the Jungle world, [[Mugly's Mound]], they notice [[Mugly]] eating bananas. Krazy Kalimba then appears, angrily glaring at the Kongs and clenching his hands, before hypnotizing Mugly to fight them.

In the final level of the game, [[Tiki Tong Terror]], Krazy Kalimba and the other high-ranking members of the Tiki Tak Tribe are converted into hands for [[Tiki Tong]].
