Kano: Man
built 657 days ago
One day, following Iikubo's example, Kano was taking part in a particularly violent freestyle practice fight. On this occasion Iikubo had not managed to throw Kano a single time. In fact, using his uki-waza and his sumi-otoshi, in both of which he was very good, Kano had already thrown Iikubo three times. Until then, Kano had never gotten the better of Iikubo, who was dumbfounded and could not imagine what had happened.

Kano was a spokesman for many mainstream supestores and resturants. He was best known for his Outback Steak House commercial lines. He was ultimately fired after he found himself cursing and expressing his love for women for than talking about anything to do with the resturant. He was fired for the same reason after doing a commercial for Six Flags.

Kano has a knack for survival. Not only has he survived massive attacks from his enemies, but his lack of loyalty allows him to change sides to suit his goals. This mercenary has betrayed many who have called him ally. You must watch your back as you embark on this journey.

In September, 1883, Kano moved from Imagawa-koji to a part of town called Koji-machi to a new training hall twenty tatami mats in size. Since the days of the Eishoji, Tsunetoshi Iikubo had been coming to the hall to instruct in Kito-style jujutsu. He was a man of fine character and lofty views who had instructed Kito jujutsu for the shogunate at the end of the Edo period. Kano met him through Seio Motoyama who ... taught for the shogunate and who was also a follower of the Kito style of jujutsu.

Within a few weeks of Kano's death, the government of Japan cancelled the games, and within a few months, invaded China from Manchuria. The prime minister and his cohorts were all avid proponents of Budo.

Although most Earthrealm warriors assumed Kano to be dead, he instead managed to save his own life by convincing Shao Kahn to accept him as a weapons instructor for his armies. As a man with a knowledge of Earthrealm weaponry, he was the most suitable candidate. Later, during the events of Mortal Kombat Trilogy, Sonya tossed Kano to his (surmised) death from the roof of a high building. He was found by Motaro, who healed and imprisoned him. In turn, Motaro was attacked and killed by Sheeva, who freed Kano from his prison. Although they originally hatched a plan to murder Shao Kahn, Kano turned on Sheeva in the decisive moments, with Sheeva's death as a result.
