He is voiced by actor Clancy Brown, and first appeared on television in the series' first episode "Help Wanted" on May 1,1999. Mr. Krabs was created and designed by marine biologist and animator Stephen Hillenburg. ==Role in ''SpongeBob SquarePants''== Mr. Krabs is the greedy founder and owner of the Krusty Krab restaurant, where SpongeBob works as a frycook, and Squidward works as a cashier. The success of the restaurant is built in part on a lack of competition and in part on the success of the Krusty Krab's flagship sandwich, the Krabby Patty. The formula for the Krabby Patty is an extremely closely guarded trade secret. His rival, and former best friend, Plankton has a struggling restaurant called the Chum Bucket located across the street from the Krusty Krab. A recurring gag throughout the series is Plankton's futile attempts to steal the Krabby Patty formula, under the assumption that it would eventually put the Krusty Krab out of business. To avoid this, Krabs goes to extreme lengths to prevent Plankton from obtaining the formula (going so far as to refuse to allow him to even buy a Krabby Patty legitimately, out of fear that Plankton might reverse-engineer the formula) or to prevent the Chum Bucket from having any business whatsoever, not even just one single customer (as seen in the episode ''Plankton's Regular''). Krabs values money above all, even life itself (including his own), and he views the other characters in regard to how they affect his money. He tolerates his two employees because of their low cost and positive impact on his finances, but he is quick to rebuke them, especially SpongeBob, if they engage in behavior that drives away customers or costs him money. Although he is rather slimy and cheap, he has his good side. Krabs and SpongeBob have a tentative father-son relationship - Krabs often scolds SpongeBob if he gets in trouble, but at times gives him fatherly advice; and SpongeBob often looks up to Krabs for advice. However, Squidward Tentacles strongly abhors Krabs for often taking money out of his paycheck for little reason at all. Mr. Krabs has a daughter, a sperm whale named Pearl. Pearl is a stereotypical teenage girl, extremely socially conscious and embarrassed by her father's miserliness. Mr. Krabs served in the navy, and in the episode "Krusty Krab Training Video" it is revealed that Mr. Krabs served during a time of war, and fell into a depression after finishing his service. His depression was alleviated after finding the Krusty Krab. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mr. Krabs」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
