Kevin Wu (traditional Chinese: ; simplified Chinese: ; pinyin: Wú Kǎiwén) (born June 12, 1990) is an American blogger, activist and humanitarian. He was best known for being an early YouTube celebrity, comedian, and actor known by his YouTube username of KevJumba. The San Francisco Chronicle's Jeff Yang has noted that Wu is not a comedian in the conventional sense but that by "just talking [he] is, well, pretty hilarious" due to his deadpan vocal delivery, animated facial expressions and tendency toward unexpected digressions. Wu previously appeared on The CW Television Network's short-lived Online Nation and co-starred with Jessica Lee Rose and Philip DeFranco in Hooking Up from HBOLabs (the online arm of HBO) in 2008. In 2010, Wu and his father, Michael, competed as a team on the 17th season of The Amazing Race, placing seventh out of eleven teams. In 2014, Wu starred in crime drama film Revenge of the Green Dragons (executive produced by Martin Scorsese). In 2013, Wu ceased production of YouTube content. In 2017, Wu returned to social media and YouTube as a small time blogger, having emerged from a self-imposed spiritual retreat. Wu has since embraced East Asian and Southeast Asian religions, a long-time interest.
Kevin Wu was born on June 12, 1990 in Houston, Texas. His father, Michael Wu, a Taiwanese immigrant, is a computer engineer. Wu graduated from Clements High School in Sugar Land, Texas, in 2008 and attended the University of California, Davis before dropping out. He was living in downtown Los Angeles while in the entertainment business but now has relocated back to Houston, Texas
