'''King Jingaling''' is the king of [[Jinjo Village]] and all things [[Jinjo]], who made his first appearance in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''. He is a large, yellow Jinjo who lives in his [[King Jingaling's Throne Room|golden palace]] at the center of Jinjo Village and spends most of his time sitting on his throne with his pet, [[Toots]].

After [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] defeated [[Klungo]] and visited King Jingaling, he tells the duo that when [[Gruntilda]] and her sisters drove through the village, all the Jinjos were scared away from their homes. King Jingaling gives Banjo and Kazooie a [[Jiggy]] to begin their journey. Moments later, Grunty uses the [[B.O.B.|Big-O'-Blaster]] machine to suck up the life force of the King to create a new body for herself, narrowly missing Banjo and Kazooie as they left the palace. Unfortunately, the King was turned into a gray, evil zombie. His pet Toots was reduced to a pile of ash, with only a pair of blinking eyes remaining. Near the end of the game, Banjo and Kazooie use B.O.B. to reverse the effects and revive him. King Jingaling and Klungo later visit [[Bottles]] and [[Mrs. Bottles]], joining in the party celebrating Gruntilda's defeat (and scaring Klungo with a firecracker type toy during the party).

King Jingaling seems to have ties to several bosses in the game. If the due stands around his palace while he is transformed into a zombie or attack him, he will give you hints on how to defeat bosses and random quotes. However, be cautious, as he will attack while he is a zombie. At the end of the game, he is rescued by Banjo and Kazooie when they infiltrate Gruntilda's hideout, [[Cauldron Keep]]. Using the B.O.B (Big-O'-Blaster), they are able to revive Jingaling and Bottles. King Jingaling seems to act young seeing as he says "yo" often. He is one of the few characters Kazooie does not seem to insult - she even thinks his "strange pet thingy" is "cool". The duo often get his name wrong though, which annoys him little by little, as is evident even after you beat the game (Banjo mistakenly calls him "King Dingaling").

In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', King Jingaling appears in [[Showdown Town]] running a bingo parlor. As you find and complete Jinjo challenges in the various levels throughout the game, they will give you [[Jinjo Token]]s to bring to Jingaling and play for vehicle parts and [[Musical Notes]]. Jinjo Bingo is not exactly the same as [[wikipedia:Bingo (U.S.)|American Bingo]], but the concept is similar: the player uses Jinjo Tokens to fill up rows and columns to win prizes. Once all Jinjo Tokens are collected, the entire board can be filled in. Each time you exit Jinjo Bingo, King Jingaling talks about going into the window cleaning business.

*It can be speculated that King Jingaling may have once been an ally of Gruntilda's, considering that she calls him a "traitor" right before blasting him with B.O.B. This may just be that he helped Banjo and Kazooie, but it's up for debate.
