'''''Donkey Kong''''' ('''ドンキーコング'''), subtitled '''ウホウホ大自然ギャグ''' (''Uhōho dai shizen gyagu''; "Uhoho great nature gag"), is a manga pubblished by Shogakukan and serialized by [[CoroCoro Comics]] between 2000 and 2001, created by emergent manga artist [[Makoto Hijioka]]. It is based on the animated series of ''[[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'', with elements from other games of the [[Donkey Kong (franchise)|franchise]].
==Plot==
The plot of the manga follows the same one of the animated series: on [[Donkey Kong Island]], [[Donkey Kong]] is in possession of the mystical [[Crystal Coconut]], which makes him the king of the island. [[King K. Rool]], the [[Kremling]] ruler, wants to enter in possession of the Crystal Coconut with every way possible.

Differently from the show, the manga introduces characters from the game to the cast: [[Tiny Kong]], [[Chunky Kong]], [[Lanky Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]], alongside many of the enemies. Beside having some chapters directly based on the show's episodes, the rest of the manga has original stories in line with the both the game and television's franchises.
