King Kong, for one (3)

I believe the answer is:

ape

'king kong for one' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ape that I've seen before include "Monkey" , "Closely follow" , "drill" , "Imitate, clumsy person (colloq.)" , "Parrot" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and the Universal.
