Kim Koo, South Korean educator and politician, 13th President of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea (born 1876)

Kim Ku, also known by his art name Paekpŏm, was a Korean independence activist and statesman. He was a leader of the Korean independence movement against the Empire of Japan, head of the Korean Provisional Government from 1926 to 1927 and from 1940 to 1945, and a Korean reunification activist after 1945. Kim is revered in South Korea, where he is considered one of the greatest figures in Korean history; his legacy is also somewhat less enthusiastically celebrated in North Korea, due to his anti-communist views.

The Korean Provisional Government (KPG), formally the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea, was a Korean government-in-exile based in China during Japanese rule over Korea.
