Kong Fu is a Kong from the Donkey Kong Country television series episode "Kong Fu". He was voiced by Richard Newman. His name is a portmanteau of "Kong" and "kung fu".
In the episode, he was hired by King K. Rool and the lizards to beat Donkey Kong in the Annual Donkey Kong Challenge – a contest to see if anyone could defeat Donkey Kong in three challenges and become the new ruler of Kongo Bongo Island.
Though Kong Fu managed to beat Donkey Kong in the Mind challenge and was dominating him in the Body challenge, Kong Fu lost the Heart challenge to Donkey Kong; it seems Kong Fu was afraid of the dark and while Kong Fu was panicking during a solar eclipse Donkey Kong refused to hit him, showing true virtue.
As the Body challenge was to continue, Kong Fu forfeited the contest to Donkey Kong after he hearing K. Rool, Krusha and General Klump mocking his fear of the dark and calling him a wuss, much the king’s ire and the Kongs’ rejoice.
