Relationships[]
Ash Lynx[]
Kong is a part of Ash's gang and is loyal enough to be trusted to be a guard for Eiji. Though fearful of Ash's side when he was angered, Kong came to be at ease around his gang leader such as at a Halloween party. In the manga, Kong is also shown to be a big admirer of Ash.
Eiji Okumura[]
He is assigned to guard Eiji on Ash's orders. Kong grows fond of Eiji, saying that he reminds him of Skipper. There were some instances where Kong, Bones and Eiji went shopping together, even when Ash was around. This could hint to the development of a friendship.
Kong was also the one to tell Eiji about Ash's fight with Arthur and later on (together with Bones) drive Eiji to the duel place.
Just like some other gang members, Kong grows more protective of Eiji as the story continues.
Bones[]
Kong is usually seen with Bones and they get along well.
