Kano is a character from the Mortal Kombat fighting game series, created by Midway Games and later developed by NetherRealm Studios under Warner Bros. Games. Introduced in Mortal Kombat (1992) as a player character and the leader of the fictional Black Dragon crime organization. Kano is characterized by his cybernetic eye, in addition to knives, serving as his primary weapon. In the series, Kano is the main adversary of Special Forces officer Sonya Blade.
Kano has been featured in several sequels of the first game, appearing in ten major titles overall (excluding Mortal Kombat 4 and Mortal Kombat: Deception). He also appears in the series' spin-offs and various media beyond the games, including live-action adaptations, animations, and comics. Outside of the Mortal Kombat series, his likeness is present in the 2005 stop motion television series Robot Chicken and the 2012 animated film Wreck-It Ralph. Critics have acknowledged the character for his personality, mannerisms, representation of the Australian heritage, and portrayals by Trevor Goddard in the 1995 film and Josh Lawson in the 2021 film.
