Norman Hercules Kochanowski

Norman Kochanowski (born: ), better known online as Hercules Beatz, Leopold Slikk, and most famously, the Angry German Kid (or AGK in short), is a German YouTuber known for his old videos of him in skits.
==History and Content==
===Skits & Angry German Kid Video===
Norman would upload his first video in 2005 at 14 years old, named Echter Gangster (Real Gangster), where he played a character named Leopold Slikk, and boastfully brags about how gangster he was. He would later play the character satirically in other videos, and make short films to expand the universe. Some of these short films were filmed with his friend Jake Randolf, although that is not his real name. It would become popular on Hodenmumps.net. Due to the disconnected state of the internet at that time, his videos weren't seen worldwide, until he made the Angry German Kid video we all know today.
Norman thought it would be a great idea where he acted like Leopold got angry in a game of Unreal Tournament. He set up his camera on his desk, and filmed himself screaming and raging satirically. The video was originally named PC Spielen (PC Play). 
===Personal Life===
Norman would remain unknown to the world until a station named Focus TV used Norman's footage for a documentary they showed on how shooter games affect people. They would refer to him as Leopold, and put a phony backstory that it was recorded by his father secretly. Despite the video being satire, the entire public saw him as a lunatic. The video was then uploaded on YouTube, and was called Crazy German Kid, or better known as Angry German Kid. Most of these videos can be found on KeyboardCrusherTV. 
It would become one of the first viral videos. Viewers also mocked Norman not knowing it was satire. It also started an entire genre of AGK videos, remixes and parodies. Soon, later Leopold made a response to Focus TV and his audience saying the video was all satire and fake. But, very few people saw his video, and later on, the fame disappeared. The original video would still get millions of views, and very few people considered it was satire. 
Later on, people began to question what happened to Norman. On October 2017, he revealed himself to the internet in his new channel Slikk Hercules AGK. Norman, now an adult, had taken bodybuilding as a hobby which was shown in a secret channel he made in 2011. He also now produces hip hop music. He has a handful of explanation videos all in German. One in English uploaded in 2018, where he talks about his personal life, and how his life was almost ruined.https://youtu.be/mIlCFYLVdTE
===Return===
On April 10th, 2018, he would return to YouTube in a video he uploaded called, UNREAL TOURNAMENT KID (KEYBOARD CRUSHER) TELLS HIS LIFE STORY (ENGLISH). In the video, he explains how his character Leopold Slikk, and the Angry German Kid was a curse upon his life, and how his status was a detriment to his mental health. He said that when the video went viral, everyone in his school knew about him. After a year or so, Norman got tired of it, and quit being the Unreal Tournament Kid. He would alter his appearances so no one would recognize him, like throwing his glasses away and dying his hair. Then, when he was 17, and after 3 years of daily attention, he wanted people to be afraid of him. One day in a class trip, Norman got drunk, and told his classmates how he hated the world, and everyone, and how he would take a Kalashnikov or an AK-47 and said that he would cause a shooting and that there would be no Angry German Kid anymore. One of his classmates recorded the whole thing behind him, and showed it to the authorities. The teacher wanted to calm down the situation, however, the damage was already done. The cops already arrived, and took him to the police station. His parents picked him up, and was kicked out of school as a result. Luckily, he was able to finish his education at another school. He served a sentence of one month in jail, because he didn't want to serve community service. Later on, he tried to get a job, but everywhere he went, everyone recognized him as the Angry German Kid, or the insane classmate. He isolated himself from the world, and spent all his time bodybuilding. After two years, he finally got an apprenticeship, and he says that was the year his life became great. He found new friends which he partied with at clubs every weekend. He also got a girlfriend, and a new car. That was his life since these videos.
===Music===
Norman would also upload hip hop music to his channel. They were part of an album he made named HERCULES BEATZ. On May 20th, 2021, he announced that the album had ended in 2019. The reason for this being, he tells his audience he had started small crimes, like smuggling, activities, drugs, and had weapons. Then, there was an arrest warrant for Norman. He got a second sentence this time. Then, he crashed his car, and had to leave his apartment. Then, things got more out of control, and wasn't able to finish HERCULES BEATZ. Fans of Norman showed support for this decision and respect.
===Reacting to his older videos===
In March 2018, Norman as an adult reacted to his famous older videos from years ago that had changed his life forever. Norman laughs and gives commentary as he watches his younger self in the video push the keyboard out of the way, and scream and laugh satirically. He reacts to his older videos such as Echter Gangster, old skits, and his famous Unreal Tournament video.
