Eugene Viktor Krabs (or simply Mr. Krabs) is a fictional character, voiced by Clancy Brown, on the Nickelodeon TV series SpongeBob SquarePants. His name is likely a reference to noted U.S. socialist Eugene Victor Debs, and he is remarkably similar to Kaz from Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi.
Krabs is SpongeBob and Squidward Tentacles boss who is the greedy, cheap, and penny-pinching owner of The Krusty Krab, a fast food restaurant in Bikini Bottom. contrast to his namesake, Krabs is something of a miser. He always greets people by saying "Hello, I'm Mr. Krabs, and I love money." However, he is not heartless—he cares about SpongeBob (who keeps his restaurant afloat), dotes on his daughter Pearl Krabs, and in one episode, he found his second love (after money) in Mrs. Puff. Mr. Krabs' arch-rival is Sheldon J. Plankton, the owner of the rival restaraunt called The Chum Bucket across the street from his establishment. He has a mother, Momma Krabs, who lives in a near identical version of his anchor home, except it is pink. Krabs' birthday, revealed on his driver's license in the episode "Sleepy Time", is November 30, 1942. He also served in the Navy, where he earned the nickname "Armor Abs Krabs".
(or simply Mr. Krabs) is a fictional character on the Nickelodeon TV series SpongeBob SquarePants. Krabs is SpongeBob's boss and owner of the Krusty Krab, a burger joint in Bikini Bottom.

Eugene's father, Viktor Krabs, was a poor Uranian immigrant from whom young Eugene learned the importance of saving money. In the episode "Krusty Krab Training Video", we learn that Viktor gave his son a nickel which he has cherished and brought him a deep love for money. He learned the importance of saving money. However, after losing all of his savings in a failed investment, Mr. Krabs wound up working as the janitor on the S.S. Gourmet, gazing longingly at the elegant meals the chefs cooked. So Krabs didn't see anything special when a broken passenger from third class named Biff Quahog told him about a delicious burger he had created. Krabs stole the treasure from Quahog's room, discovered it was only a message in a bottle, and threw it, with disgust, into an empty shoe box. After coming home from the war, he remained in a deep depression until one day, while looking for his father's will, he found the old shoe box. Inside the bottle was a recipe labelled Quahog Burger. When Krabs cooked it, he found it delectable. He decided to go into business selling it, and built his restaurant by renovating the local (failing) retirement home, "The Rusty Krab," which he decided to turn into a restaurant and added a K to the name.
The Krusty Krab has come close to going out of business with such rival restaurants as the aforementioned Chum Bucket, Pretty Patties, and The Shell Shack to name but three. The building is also in serious disrepair, as its walls ooze green slime and has seriously faulty wiring. Mr. Krabs idea of renovations is simply putting sticking plasters on cracks in the walls (this unfortunately doesn't work too well).
In the movie, he now owns The Krusty Krab 2, right next to the original burger stand, where SpongeBob is the manager. (Ironically, besides the title, it is not much different from his old job.)
