'''Lukewarm''', formerly known as '''KirbyKid''', is an ''[[Ultimate]]'' {{SSBU|King K. Rool}} player from [[Louisiana]] who is considered to be the best King K. Rool player of all time. He was first known for defeating {{Sm|kept}} at {{Trn|2GG: Kongo Saga}} before becoming a notable threat in the online metagame, where he ranked as high as 17th on the [[Wi-Fi Warrior Rank v7]] and defeated players such as {{Sm|Sonix}}, {{Sm|MKLeo}}, {{Sm|Sparg0}}, {{Sm|Dabuz}}, and {{Sm|Scend}} online. In the post-online metagame, he remains one of the few King K. Rool players with any notable impact at a national level, having defeated players such as {{Sm|Goblin}} at {{Trn|CyPhaCon Mini Esports}}, {{Sm|SHADIC}} at {{Trn|CEO 2021}}, {{Sm|MVD}} at {{Trn|Lost Tech City 2022}}, and both {{Sm|Lima}} and {{Sm|Lui$}} at {{Trn|Comicpalooza Fight Club 2024}}. He is currently ranked first on the '' [[Louisiana Power Rankings]] '' and was formerly ranked 78th on the [[OrionRank Ultimate: Eclipse]], being the first and highest ranking King K. Rool player to be ranked on an ''Ultimate'' global ranking.
