    \textit{N. Koblitz} [J. Number Theory 14, 332--339 (1982; Zbl 0501.12020)] has given a \(q\)-analogue of the \(p\)-adic \(L\)-function, and asked whether there is a corresponding complex analytic \(q\)-\(L\)-function. The author answers this by giving \[ L_q(s,\chi) = \frac{2-s}{s-1}(q-1)\sum^{\infty}_{n=1}\frac{q^n\chi(n)}{[n]^{s- 1}}+\sum_{n=1}\frac{q^n\chi (n)}{[n]^s}, \] where \([n]=(1-q^n)/(1-q)\). This correctly interpolates the \(q\)-Bernoulli numbers at negative integers. As an application the author proves Kummer congruences for \(q\)-Euler numbers.
