Kanga is brown female kangaroo, just like her son Roo. Like most of the characters in Winnie-the Pooh, Kanga was based on a stuffed toy that belonged to Christopher Robin Milne.

She is also a good friend to Winnie-the-Pooh and all the other residents of the Hundred Acre Wood including Piglet, Eeyore, Owl, and Rabbit. She lives with Roo in a house near the Sandy Pit in the northwestern part of the Forest. Tigger later comes to live with them, though only in the original storybooks. She is the only female character to appear in the books.

Kanga is kindhearted, calm, patient and docile. She likes to keep things clean and organized, and offers motherly advice and food to anyone who asks her. She is protective over Roo, almost obsessively, and treats him with kind words and gentle discipline. She also has a sense of humor, as revealed in chapter seven of Winnie-the-Pooh when Rabbit connives to kidnap Roo, leaving Piglet in his place; Kanga pretends not to notice that Piglet is not Roo and proceeds to give him Roo's usual bath, much to Piglet's dismay.
