Kane Kosugi is an American martial artist, actor, and TV personality based in Japan.

Kane’s athletic ability was apparent from an early age. He took his first steps when he was nine month old, and he began Karate at 18 months. He went on to train in various other martial arts such as Kendo, Judo, Kobudo, Taekwondo and Wushu in addition to American football, golf, sky diving, scuba diving and horseback riding. Aside from the physical, he excels in ‘mind’ sports like chess, poker, video games and Rubik’s cube.

Kane aspired to be an action star at a young age. He appeared alongside his father, Sho Kosugi, in numerous movies; worked with global super stars such as Jean Claude Van Dam and Toshiro Mifune and played the lead in the popular live action superhero series "Power Rangers” and “Ultraman." When he saw Jackie Chan in “Drunken Master II” and his later movies, he was motivated to work even harder to achieve his dream. He later met Jackie Chan and was given an opportunity to study under Jackie’s stunt team and played a cameo in “Who AM I.” Subsequently, Kane was invited to appear in many of Jackie Chan’s movie promotional events in Tokyo and Jackie also guest starred in programs hosted by Kane at that time. Kane considers Jackie to be his mentor to this day.

Kane left the US for Japan to pursue a career in the entertainment business immediately upon graduating from high school. His multiple victories in the popular sports shows "Sasuke" and “Muscular Athlete No. 1 Championship“ propelled his career to the next level. His display of resiliency and “anything is possible” spirit on the show touched the hearts of Japanese audience. Since then he hosted and made guest appearances in variety shows, educational, travel, lifestyle and sports programs. He also appeared in commercials for companies such as House Foods, NTT Docomo and Konami. Among them, Kane acted as the spokesperson for Taisho Pharmaceutical Co.’s best-selling energy drink, Lipovitan D, for 17 years and real estate company, Century 21, for 18 years and counting; a rare phenomenon in a market that constantly seeks new faces.

Kane continues to work on his dream to global stardom in action movies. He starred in Japanese films such as “Godzilla,” “Muscle Heat,” “Terraformars;” American films such as “DOA: Dead or Alive,” “Wars”, “Ninja: Shadow of Tears, “Tekken: Kazuya’s Revenge;” Korean short film directed by acclaimed director Seung-wan Ryoo and Chinese films such as “Coweb” and “Choyleefut: Speed of Light. His most recent role is that of a relentless assassin with severe facial deformity in “Heaven Inspector,” a Chinese production which will be released in the summer of 2017.
