Ummmm Kano was never black.

what MK games have you been playing?

Kano was never black in MK1 or in khans background in mk2. He wore white, and hes caucasian. only in mk3 did he wear black.

How is it even physically possible to confuse a white uniform with black?
is this a joke?

Yeah, he was never black. Perhaps his dark metal plate on his face made him a little darker. Plus he is from Australia, so he must get alot of sun and his arms might get dark.

For example, some people are darker in their earlier years, and then later on they get lighter. And vice versa.

But nothing like that metal polish to get that metal plate whitened up..

and if you were talking about race, thats even more mind bending!

there were no black characters in mk1, all caucasian! kano was clearly a white man, with his straight, non afro hair and fair skin. in MK2 there were no black people in Khans background, only causcasian (kano and sonya). Kano was never black!!!

the same actor even played him in all MKs, Richard Divizio i think is his name.

He was never black, but like you, I also thought Kano was black. I think it's because on the Genesis/SNES portraits of Kano, the yellow background seems ot make his skin look darker, making him look like a dark-skinned guy.

Kano has always been white...get your TV fixed man!

I think he means MKT kano which had black at the VS screen

but in match he wore white.

he's not black.....he's white; i don't know what game you been playing.

Yeah,i thought Kano looked black-ish in MK1 too,but its just the lighting,backgrounds,etc that made him look black.

yea see thats what I thought..lol silly me

Pretty much, well...unless you count that whole MK3 Kano/Noob Saibot thing. Ha!

unless richard divizio (the guy who played Kano) had some sort of recoloring of the skin surgery done (like Jacko) between 1 and 3, i'd have to say that Kano was never black. maybe a little tan, but not black.

Yeah he looked tan, he also wore white and that makes the tan stand out. That's why I always wear white when I have a tan to look darker.

I got no idea what you people are talking about... kano was white last time I played MK1

Anyway, the issue was resolved - Kano was never black, just that the colours of his portrait and the overall game, made him look darker than the other characters. Richard Divizio, the actor who portrayed Kano in the games, is not black.
