{{quote|Originally known as Hanzo Hasashi, he is the son of a former clansman who chose to live as an assassin, yet [[Papa Wolf|he is very devoted to his family]] and generally goes on and about the game, serving his own purposes and none other.}}

* [[Teleport Spam]]

* [[Unstoppable Rage]]: Probably the patron saint of this. When Scorpion is on the warpath, ''run''.

* [[Wild Card]]: Strides the limit between good and evil.

 

* [[Dual-Wielding]]: His weapon style has him wielding a pair of Butterfly Knives.

* [[Evil Makes You Ugly]]: Earthrealm characters who were around in the first three games are about 50 years old by the time the 10th and 11th game comes out. The ones regarded as Good (like Johnny, Sonya, Liu Kang, and Kung Lao) have aged rather well, and still look pretty good for their age. Kano, however, who is squarely in on the Evil end of the moral spectrum, not so much. He's still muscular and an excellent fighter, but is almost always dirty, disheveled, unshaven, and unhygienic.

** In the intro to ''Armageddon'', he kills Stryker with one.

* [[Giant Spider]]: Kano's Animality in ''MK3''.

** Additionally, when he heard of Kabal's [[Not Quite Dead|apparent demise]] at the hands of Mavado, it is said that he would have most likely hounded the Red Dragon leader and had his head if not for his post in Outworld as the leader of Shao Kahn's armies. Kabal had long since forsaken the ways of the Black Dragon.

* [[Psycho for Hire]]

* [[Race Lift]]: After Trevor Goddard's portrayal in the movie, he was [[Ret Canon|changed]] from [[But Not Too Foreign|American-Japanese]] descent in the games to [[Land Down Under|Australian]].

* [[Rolling Attack]]: The Cannonball attack, in which he tosses himself at the opponent while keeping arms and legs folded into his body.

* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]

* [[A Day in the Limelight]]: In ''[[Mortal Kombat 9]]'', he's the focus of the first chapter.

* [[Establishing Character Moment]]: In ''[[Mortal Kombat 9]]'', he spends his first few fights goofing off, preening and grandstanding, hitting on Sonya, and generally making an ass of himself... [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|but is horrified when Shang Tsung demands he "finish" a fallen opponent]].

* [[The Friend Nobody Likes]]: ''Everyone'' finds him annoying, and a lot of [[Let's You and Him Fight]] scenarios start with him acting like a jerk.

* [[Amplifier Artifact]]: Somewhat. He wears a runestone around his neck that [[Soul Jar|houses all of the souls he's absorbed over the ages]] and is able to replenish his strength.

* [[Badass Grandpa]]

** [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]

* [[Badass Longcoat]]: In the movie.

** Also happens in ''9'' {{spoiler|''to him''. After Motaro's death, Shao Kahn chooses to use Shang Tsung to [[Super Empowering|empower]] Sindel, fueling the massacre of the heroes}}.
