Before Bruce Lee popularized those high-flying kung fu kicks, he actually did something similar years before--in the TV crimebusting series, "The Green Hornet". He played "Kato", the Green Hornet's (played by Van Williams) martial artist-sidekick. "The Green Hornet" was based on a radio serial created in the 1930s revolving around the explouts of a masked crusader and his Japanese aide "Kato". When World War II broke out, "Kato"'s nationality was changed to Filipino. As the world knows, Bruce Lee became even more popular than Van Williams. This coloring book is a remembrance of the short-lived TV series that paved the way for Lee's stardom.
