According to the bad auto translation:
I looked into what manuke means and I found that it means stupid, but correct me if I'm mistaken. So it seems the name, as Snessy the Duck said, just means "stupid monkey," even though it sounds silly to English speakers.
According to the bad auto translation:
Quote: I was thinking that Cong was gorilla long ago. Therefore, I wanted to name the â—‹ â—‹ Kong. So, I wanted to make a manuka anyway, so I tried to examine Manuka in English dictionary. Then, the word "donkey" which represents a donkey also had the meaning of manuke. So I named it Donkey Kong, but when I brought it to America, I was told that "such a name is strange, there is no point in managing donkeys." But I left it as "Well, good?" (Laugh). Despite such circumstances, it is popular all over the country now, is not it? It is funny that the habit is strong, so you can remember that way, surely, surely.
