Just because Kong existed before the kaiju genre was popularized does not mean he isn't a kaiju. Kong arguably started the entire kaiju genre, as he was one of the main inspirations behind Godzilla. Kong's appearance in two of Toho's films only further supports his standing as a kaiju. Kong was the inspiration for the entire kaiju genre in the first place. Godzilla would not even exist without monsters like Kong and Rhedosaurus. It's only fitting that Kong is counted among kaiju.
