Brian Kuh

Brian Kuh ( /ˈkuː/) is a competitive gamer and video game world record holder. He was interviewed in the 2007 documentary The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters. He is portrayed in the film apparently attempting to negatively influence the outcome of a Donkey Kong world record attempt, which has made him an object of derision and ridicule by many who viewed the film.

In 2005, he quit his job at age 30 from American Marine Bank ^[1] in New York City where he worked as a bank comptroller. This was so he could move to Weirs Beach, New Hampshire and visit Funspot on a daily basis to pursue video game world records full time.
