Kanga is a anthropomorphic, stuffed kangaroo belonging to Christopher Robin. She and her son Roo got their names because their names without space make word kangaroo (Kanga + Roo = Kangaroo). She first appeared as the supporting character in Winnie the Pooh series. Hospitable and gentle, Kanga is the mother of Roo and a good friend to the Hundred Acre Wood residents, most notably Tigger. She is a supporting character in The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, The Tigger Movie, Piglet's Big Movie, Winnie the Pooh (2011) and My Friends Tigger and Pooh and the deuteragonist of Pooh's Heffalump Movie.
She was originally voiced by Barbara Luddy, who previously voiced Merryweather in Sleeping Beauty and Lady in Lady and the Tramp.
