The "Angry German Kid" (real name: Norman Kochanowski) is the main character in a viral video, depicting a young teen having a violent temper tantrum when things don't go his way in a video game.
In reality, the video was staged, and was intended by its creator (the teen who plays the Angry German Kid) to parody a contemporary moral panic claiming violent video games would lead to gamers becoming violent. The famous videos was just one in a series of several made by the teen parodying other societal phenomena such as the "gangster". However, when the video was shown on German TV, the TV producers lied (to stoke the fears of "killer games") and told the audience that this was an unstaged incident, secretly taped by the boy's father.
In Japan, he is referred to as the “KeyBoard Crusher” or “KBC”.
