The Kru are an ethnic group who live inland in what is now modern day Liberia. Their history is one marked by a strong sense of ethnicity and resistance to occupation. In 1856 when part of Liberia was still known as the independent state of Maryland, the Kru along with the Grebo resisted Maryland settlers' efforts to control their trade.

KRU is a popular Malaysian singing group that formed in the 1990s. The group comprises three brothers: Norman Abdul Halim, Yusry Abdul Halim and Edry Abdul Halim. The group mixes R&B and rap styles in their music.

(pronounced like "kroo" though with a short "oo" sound) The teachers are referred to as Kru in primary schools and usually Ajarn in secondary schools. In Thailand people are called by their first names so at school the students call me Khun Khru Richard.
