When the Black Dragon organization was in it's prime, so was Kano. He led this group of cutthroat madmen. He was responsible for numerous thefts and murders, including the murder of Sonya Blade's old partner. Kano became involved in the Mortal Kombat tournament after hearing rumors that Shang Tsung's palace was made of solid gold. Kano made his way to the Shaolin tournament hoping that he could pillage the gold. He was pursued there by Sonya Blade. Both Kano and Sonya ended up being captured by Shang Tsung and taken back to Outworld. There they were held captive by Shao Kahn as he lured Earth warriors into Outworld to fight against his armies. Jax managed to rescue Sonya from the Outworld, and tried to bring Kano back as well. Kano managed to escape from Jax and Sonya, but not from Shao Kahn. He was almost executed by Kahn, but convinced Kahn to spare his life if he teaches the Outworld warriors how to use Earth's weapons. This bought Kano some time. He let Shao Kahn believe that he was going to fight for the Outworld, but when the invasion began, Kano used the opportunity to escape. Evading the extermination squads, he stayed alive for a while, but Sonya Blade finally caught up with him. In a rooftop battle, Kano was killed by Sonya. He was thrown off onto the pavement below. Sonya thought she had finally gotten rid of Kano. However . . . When Shinnok is preparing for the new tournament Rayden has declared, he prepares fighters that he knows will have a chance at beating the Earth warriors. Shinnok is able to look into Sonya's soul, and see the man that she fears the most. He lifts Kano's dead soul from the pits of the Netherrealm where it now resides, and restores life to the former Black Dragon leader. Shinnok is controlling Kano by fear, threatening to kill him if he doesn't serve him, and forces Kano to enter the Mortal Kombat on the side of the Netherrealm. As always, Kano has his own plans, and is just waiting for the right moment to execute them.
