'''Okusan''' is [[King K. Rool|Baron K. Roolenstein]]'s wife who is first mentioned in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' After [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] defeat the robot [[KAOS]] in [[Kastle Kaos]], he laments that his wife is going to "kill him", as he built KAOS with her best pots and pans. In a Scribes column on Rare's website, [[Leigh Loveday]] states that this gag was merely a throwaway {{wp|Vic and Bob}} reference,<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20000823214029/http://www.rareware.com/recent/scribes/dec2399.html|title=Scribes; December 23, 1999|publisher=Rarewhere|accessdate=June 5, 2024|language=en-gb}}</ref> though an ''[[Ask Uncle Tusk]]'' post denies it (perhaps jokingly).

K. Rool's wife makes a physical appearance in two ''Donkey Kong Country 3'' manga, from the ''[[4koma Gag Battle]]'' and ''[[4koma Manga Ōkoku]]'' series. In both, she is merely called「奥さん」(''okusan'', "wife") and described as "beautiful" by her name tag and description. She is depicted as a thin Kremling woman with light short hair with curling ends and a small snout (much more similar to a lizard's than a crocodile's), and she is seen wearing a dress, an apron, and headband: in the first manga, the outfit resembles a French maid uniform, while in the second, it is much more informal, more resembling a housewife outfit. In the first manga, she briefly complains that her husband is enjoying a horror movie while eating rice, despite claiming to be watching it for "research purposes" for his anti-Kong devices. In the second one, the Kongs burst into K. Roolenstein's lab and turn on a screen, thinking it was related to KAOS, only to find an ''{{wp|ecchi}}'' anime episode airing, and the wife reprehends him not only for watching it, but also for showing it to young children.
