“NOOO! What have you done? My wife's going to kill me! I used all of her best pots and pans to make him... And then you just cast him aside as if he were a stack of empty tins!”
Baron K. Roolenstein, Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!

Okusan is 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 Vic and Bob reference.[1]

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 ecchi anime episode airing, and the wife reprehends him not only for watching it, but also for showing it to young children.
