INFO


Klaus Kickenklober is a male proboscis monkey and a minor antagonist in Sing 2. He is Johnny's dance instructor. He speaks with a French accent.

He is voiced by Adam Buxton.

Appearance

Klaus Kickenklober is a proboscis monkey with light red skin and white fur. He wears a blue knit sweater, a blue beret, dark blue pants, and dark blue ballet shoes. He often carries a stick, which he uses to correct his dancers in class.

Personality

Klaus is shown to be very strict, abrasive, harsh, and pushes his dancing students to their very limits. While instructing Johnny, he would insult him and be especially critical and even abusive, that Johnny almost quit dancing entirely. Klaus is so proud and arrogant that he judges aspiring dancers so harshly that if he deems them lost causes he'll make his opinion painfully clear, and is certain that there is nothing they can do to prove otherwise.

He showed himself to be petty that he tried to upstage Johnny's performance, only for Johnny to stand back up and prove Klaus wrong.

In the end, Klaus came to respect Johnny and encouraged him with his dancing.

Biography

Sing 2

Klaus Kickenklober is a top-class choreographer in Redshore City, where he instructs Johnny in his dance class. Due to Klaus' actions and his inability to teach Johnny effectively, Johnny seeks dance lessons from Nooshy and improves effectively.

During the show, Klaus takes the place of Johnny's performance partner, Ryan, to try to undermine his number, but Johnny beats Klaus with encouragement from Nooshy, Ryan and the other dancers. While accepting defeat, Klaus bows to Johnny, finally giving him his respect.

At Out of This World's showing at The Majestic, Klaus cheers on Johnny and Nooshy, the latter now cast as the former's partner, handing them their respective staffs as they prepare to enter the stage.

Sing: Thriller

Klaus is one of the infected dancing zombies that terrorize Buster Moon and Miss Crawly at Clay Calloway's Halloween party.
