He is also the first American to attempt the course. He first competed in [[SASUKE 1]] but failed the [[Pole Bridge]], the first obstacle on Stage Three. He returned in [[SASUKE 4]], clearing the First Stage with ease and he barely passing the Second Stage with 2.3 seconds left. However he failed the transition on the last ledge of the new [[Cliffhanger]], one of five to do so. He then returned in [[SASUKE 6]], he complete the First Stage with almost 15 seconds left. Then he passed the Second Stage like the four competitors who cleared the First Stage that day. However, like his brother [[Shane Kosugi|Shane]], he struggled at the [[Body Prop]] in Third Stage and failed halfway of the obstacle. He returned in the [[SASUKE 7|the 7th tournament]]. Yet again, he stormed through the First Stage with ease. However, in Stage 2 he struggled at the new [[Spider Walk]] and failed here with almost 16 seconds left. His difficulty in walking in the walls are due to the fact that he forgot to get the spray. This was his earliest defeat, as well as his only Stage 2 failure, In the [[SASUKE 8|next tournament]], he completed the First and Second Stage with ease. He completed the Body Prop and Cliffhanger that had taken him down in previous tournaments. He even completed the [[Pipe Slider]] and therefore joined [[Jordan Jovtchev]] as 2 of only 3 foreigners ever in the final stage ( [[Li En Zhi]] being the third in SASUKE 24). Kosugi became the first man to reach the rope in the new Final Stage but missed [[kanzenseiha]] by a few meters. It should be noted that it was raining during the whole tournament. He is currently the only person to have a 100% First Stage clear percentage and compete at least five times. Kane is originally from Los Angeles, California. He competed with his brother, [[Shane Kosugi]], on several occasions. Around [[SASUKE 11]], in an interview with the [[Kinniku Banzuke]] successor, '''Taiku Ookoku''', he said, "私は訓練に時間があれば、私は競争したいと思います。", which roughly translates to, "If I have time to train, I would like to compete." However, he has not competed since [[SASUKE 8]]. A few years later, it was revealed that Kane quit SASUKE because of a feud he had with the company that ran the competition at the time, [[Monster9]]. Monster9 released a SASUKE related game including Kosugi as a playable character. However they did not got permission from him and Kane became furious about the extreme rainfall. After not settling the situation on the court, Kane promised that he would never compete in [[SASUKE]] again. At the moment [[Tokyo Broadcasting System]] runs the competitions because of [[Monster9]]'s bankruptcy. It is unknown if he'll return or not. He was invited to compete in SASUKE 30, however once again he declined. == Trivia == * Kosugi was the first American and the first non-Japanese competitor to attempt ''[[SASUKE]]''. * Kosugi is the only competitor who has competed at least 5 times and never fail the First Stage. * Kosugi is the first and thus far only American to make it to the Final Stage in SASUKE. * In JET TV broadcasts, he is referred in the subtitles as KEN. {{clear}} ==Results== {| class="wikitable" width="100%" |- ! width="6%" style="background-color: #4D0503;" |''SASUKE'' ! width="4%" style="background-color: #4D0503;" |# ! width="35%" style="background-color: #4D0503;" |Result ! width="45%" style="background-color: #4D0503;" |Notes |- | align="center" style="background-color: #721410;" |[[SASUKE 1|1]] | align="center" style="background-color: #721410;" |89 | align="center" style="background-color: #721410;" |Failed Pole Bridge (Third Stage) | align="center" style="background-color: #721410;" | |- | align="center" style="background-color: #530B09;" |[[SASUKE 4|4]] | align="center" style="background-color: #530B09;" |97 | align="center" style="background-color: #530B09;" |Failed Cliff Hanger (Third Stage) | align="center" style="background-color: #530B09;" | |- | align="center" style="background-color: #721410;" |[[SASUKE 6|6]] | align="center" style="background-color: #721410;" |98 | align="center" style="background-color: #721410;" |Failed Body Prop (Third Stage) | align="center" style="background-color: #721410;" | |- | align="center" style="background-color: #530B09;" |[[SASUKE 7|7]] | align="center" style="background-color: #530B09;" |98 | align="center" style="background-color: #530B09;" |Failed Spider Walk (Second Stage) | align="center" style="background-color: #530B09;" | |- | align="center" style="background-color: #721410;" |[[SASUKE 8|8]] | align="center" style="background-color: #721410;" |91 | align="center" style="background-color: #721410;" |Failed Tsuna Nobori (Final Stage) | align="center" style="background-color: #721410;" |Time Out, about 17m up. |} ==Gallery== <gallery> Shane and Kane Kosugi Daruma 7.jpg Kane Kosugi Trampoline.jpg Kane Kosugi Muscle Gym.jpg Sportsman No. 1 - Kane 1997 winner.jpg Kane Kosugi Sasuke 1.png Kane Kosugi Celebrity Sportsman No1 Spring 1998.jpg Kane Kosugi Celebrity Sportsman No1 Fall 1998.jpg Kane Kosugi Pro Sportsman No1 1999.jpg Kane Kosugi Celebrity Sportsman No1 1999.jpg Kane Kosugi Sasuke 4.png Kane Kosugi Pro Sportsman No1 2000.jpg Kane Kosugi Celebrity Sportsman No1 Spring 2000.jpg KosugiKane.jpg Kane Kosugi Celebrity Sportsman No1 Fall 2000.jpg Kane Kosugi Pro Sportsman No1 2001.jpg Kane Kosugi Sasuke 7.png Kane Kosugi Celebrity Sportsman No1 2001.jpg Kane Kosugi SASUKE 8.jpg Kane Kosugi Pro Sportsman No1 2002.jpg Kane Kosugi Pro Sportsman No1 2004.jpg </gallery> Templates used on the current version of this page: Template:Age (view source) Template:Birth date and age (view source) (protected)Template:Clear (view source) Template:Infobox Person (view source) (protected)Template:MONTHNAME (view source) (protected)Template:MONTHNUMBER (view source) (protected)Return to Kane Kosugi.
