Ikano Kato

Ikano Kato stepped onto the comics scene in 1989 through Now Comics' revival of the classic Green Hornet mythology, brought to life by writer Ron Fortier and artist Jeff Butler in what became a beloved Copper Age resurrection of a legendary franchise. With 22 catalogued appearances spread across The Green Hornet, Sting of the Green Hornet, and Tales of the Green Hornet, this character carved out a meaningful niche in a run that ran through the early '90s — and three of those appearances carry key-issue status, signaling real collector significance. Ikano Kato shares the page with an impressive roster including Britt Reid, The Green Hornet himself, and both Hayashi Kato and Kato II, placing this character squarely at the heart of a richly layered legacy mythology. For fans of the Green Hornet universe who love exploring how Now Comics deepened and expanded the lore, Ikano Kato is absolutely worth tracking down.
