"Kongo" aka Congo- Kongo's original name is Kong. He was named this after the black kong toy that most dog owners know about, because when he was little he had so many rolls, he looked just like one. As he grew up, he also started being called "King Kong" because he was such a huge puppy. After I got him, I refused to call him Kong, because I think it is a horrible name for a puppy, and so he because Kongo. I haven't had him that long but so far his nicknames include: Kong, Kongo Bongo, Bongo, Billy, and Booger.

In the Voodoo faith, Congo is a handsome but apathetic loa. (spirit).

Kongo, the main character within the Monkey Magic anime series.
