Character from Miraculous Ladybug by Thomas Astruc / ZAG
The class jock — loud, competitive, not the sharpest, but good-hearted enough to become the Monkey Miraculous hero King Monkey.
Kim challenges everyone to everything. He raced Alix. He arm-wrestled Max's robot. He asked Chloé out in front of the entire class (it went badly). He is not complicated — he's big, he's loud, he's competitive, and he processes the world through physical activity. As King Monkey, his Uproar ability disrupts opponents' powers with a magical banana, which is exactly the kind of absurd weapon Kim would love. He's a loyal friend once you're on his team, and he never holds grudges. He was akumatized into Dark Cupid when Chloé publicly rejected his Valentine's Day confession, spreading anti-love arrows across Paris — because of course Kim's heartbreak would manifest as the most dramatic possible response.
Tall, muscular Vietnamese-French teenage boy with dark hair styled in a short spike, a red-and-yellow jacket, and the confident swagger of someone who leads with physicality. Always ready to race, fight, or challenge someone. As King Monkey: gold-and-brown monkey-themed bodysuit with a staff weapon.
Also known as: King Monkey, Dark Cupid
