First used by the Liang Dynasty in the 6th Century AD, Kung-Fu was developed to create and strengthen the link between mind and body (oringinally). Roughly 200 years later, two Chinese fighters expanded on the original moves to convert it into the fighting style we know today.
Interesting note: The term "Kung-Fu" was not used to describe this fighting style until the mid 1800's, and didn't enter mainstream vocabulary until the release of Bruce Lee's movie Kung-Fu in the 1960's.
It is Kung fu-tzu or Kung fu-tse. The modern and more widely used romanization variant is Kong Fuzi.
Kung Fu is the most used in China, Jujutsu is a Japanese martial art.
Pandas know kung fu only in the Kung Fu Pandauniverse.
Kung fu comes from China. Shaolin monks teach real kung fu there.

I YES Because Karate Is The Like The Same Thing Has Kung Fu So I Say Yes
Yes, kung fu is a martial art. Today the Chinese refer to it as Wushu. Many of the martial arts in Southeast Asia trace their origins to Kung Fu. Martial art in China is Wushu not kung fu. Kung fu is a skill or development. Kung fu is a English term used for Chinese martial arts. Kung fu comes from the word Ku fu that pinyin translated to mean kung fu. Both words are used in ancient China, but in modern China wu means martial or military and shu means art. Martial arts in China were always called Wushu or Ku fu not the English term of kung fu. Martial art is skill or development also Ku fu is any skill or development not just martial arts. So learning any thing is Ku fu.

The only old tv show I know of that featured kung fu was, in fact, Kung Fu, starring David Carridine.
