The Green Hornet & Kato
The first time I was introduced to the Martial Arts was way back in 1966 when abc premiered "The Green Hornet" television show. Van Williams was the Green Hornet and Bruce Lee was the man behind the "Kato" mask, the little man with the fists of a giant!
Bruce Lee and Van Williams as "The Green Hornet & Kato"


Sadly, the Green Hornet was short lived, but Kato left a lasting impression that turned out a legacy!

I never knew it was Bruce Lee until I read in the newspaper back in 73' when Lee died that he was the man who played "Kato". I was thrilled by watching him in "Fists of Fury" and "The Chinese Connection", but upon finding out that he was Kato, that made him the more interesting.
