According to the official description of the prehistory of the game, a mother threw a mother in childhood, and he had to survive on the metropolitan streets alone. He began the criminal career with the "post" of small thieves, devastating the pockets of Japanese and American soldiers. Once Kano, on a pure chance, robbed the head of the criminal group, and he admiring the guy's talents, accepted him to the team. Over time, the hero was headed by the Empire "Black Dragon", which was engaged in the illegal arms trade, and turned his business as widely, which was in the field of the police in 35 countries.The appearance of Kano seriously suffered during the fight with Jacks. He lost his eyes, who later replaced the implant, and part of the person who had to close the metal plate. Initially, an artificial eye was only a cosmetic prosthesis, but by using communication in the criminal world, the hero found a technique that created an implant for him by shooting laser rays. So Kano became the owner of the most famous weapons. There is a similar device with another hero - Hsu Hao, but he has a firing mechanism linen in the chest area.

Kano in games and films
Kano is a clever and cunning opponent who does not recognize the rules of fighting and ethical standards, and therefore, especially dangerous. It does not have supernatural abilities - they are replaced by numerous implants in the body. In Mortal Kombat X, the hero did even with an artificial heart. Kano's branded weapon - butterfly knives, which it uses for throwing or point shocks in the near battle. Thanks to military training, the mercenary easily wins hand-to-hand contractions.
Distinctive features of the character became finishing receptions: Kano is capable of piercing the enemy to the chest from the back and snatch the heart, break or cut the enemy in two, break his head about the ground or skeleton from the body. The rich fantasy developers in this part of the game led to that the character became the most ambiguous in the series. Someone considered such violence effectively, but according to a significant part of the audience, the creators clearly moved with cruelty - on how Kano completes the battle, it is impossible to look without nausea.
When passing the player can also use the reception "Ball", in which Kano attacks the enemy, compressed in a lump. Available several shock versions: repeated, which is diagonally up or down, chaotic. Another favorite reception is called "from the ear to ear" - cutting the throat. For the first time Kano uses this phrase, telling Son that he did with her partner.

Then Sonya Blade was already actively persecuted, wanting to take revenge on the death of a partner, and it was not easy to get to the meeting place. Later, Sonya also obliged to participate in the tournament, threatening to kill her people. Both avid enemy - Kano and Sonya - as a result of the fight survived, but they paid for the victory of the death of the dozens of their girlfriends. They even united in the final battle to confront Shang Tzun together, which, however, did not mean reconciliation - the image of the blade as the main enemy is maintained in all the works of the franchise.
In the 2nd and 3rd part of Kano acts in the outside world, where he heads the Army of Emperor Shao Kana. In Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, he became the victim of the Red Dragon gang experiment, which dreamed of creating a hybrid of the dragon and man, but Kano managed to escape before he was serious harm.
