DK also refers to Donkey Kong, a video game character and franchise created by Nintendo. The character first appeared in the 1981 arcade game Donkey Kong, where he is a large gorilla who captures Pauline and clashes with Jumpman (who would later be known as Mario). The DK name has since been used for the franchise, including Donkey Kong Country and many spin-off titles. In popular usage, DK is a common shorthand for Donkey Kong in game titles and fan discussions.
