If you wanted to make such a correlation, then you would need to go back to King Kong, Kong being a mix between Congo and what the original story being the giant prehistoric-type ape fighting a Konodo Dragon (in the final, it's vs a T-rex). The creator of King Kong, Cooper, was fond of names starting with K.

From the moment the movie became cult, Kong has been associated with apes, like Donkey Kong (who was initially supposed to be called Monkey Kong). It has no relation with the monkey king from chinese litterature.
