Kilograms are most definately a unit of WEIGHT (1000 grams).

A gram is equal in weight to 1 cubic centimetre (1 mililitre) of water (at
earth weight). Therefore 1 kilogram (1000 grams) is equal in weight to
1 cubic decametre (1 litre) of water (at earth weight).

This happens to be approximately equal to 2.2046 pounds.
