@Editor Rob,

But 5'11.5" isn't exactly impossible right?

I know that he claims 180-1cm (& even 6ft @times), but When u see @him w/ PPL like Scott Adkins, Devon Aoki, Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Jason Patric & Mark Dacasocos he does pull off 182cm range @times. However with Someone like Masaya Kato (who's possibly only 5'11.5" himself), he's probably not quite a 182cm guy, but definitely not under 181cm & certainly over 180cm from all I've seen!

Do u agree Rob?

@Editor Rob,

How likely is 5’11.5”?

He’s now listed 180cm on his website Click Here, tho he did also claim 181cm many times before, So the current listing is fair.

What do u think Rob?

Best known in films like Shinjuku Incident, Drive (1997), Crying Freeman, Muscle Heat, The Setting Sun, The Seventh Floor & Brother. Listed 183cm, but 5’11.5” is a fair enough shout IMO.

@Dmeyer: You should be often right about that as anyone know.
Standing almost 5ft11 (180cm) I've seen actors my height or even shorter than me claiming to be 6ft.

But in Kane's case, he was clearly always over one inch taller than me, including time barefoot at the hotel room or by the swimming pool during the few weeks I worked with him (back in 1997).

So I'm pretty sure he was clearly around the 6ft mark: I've seen him measured a bit over at clothe fitting, back then.
He was also quite a strong dude in the gym under barbell, despite a moderate muscular build, he had good muscular density and quickness and still is one of the strongest and fastest kicker I've seen and in asia we kick barefoot.

In fact we take off or shoes quite often:
For this reason people might not be so keen (there) to add phony height by any mean since you'll take your shoes off every home you enter anyway.

If an actor is slightly over 5'11 hé will defenetly claim 6 ft are you sure hé looks 183cm

In his official Japanese web site Kane is listed as 6 ft Rob.
Just click on his English profile and you will see by yourself.
Where's these two different height comes from:

- Kane has been raised in the US and gave them his height in imperial system: 6 ft.

- 6ft doesn't mean a thing to most Japaneses folk because they switched from their own system to metric system a while ago.

- Not knowing about imperial system they probably tried to convert it using their own ancient knowledge: 1 ken comes to approximately 1.8m. One shaku is one sixth of 1 ken or about 30.3cm
By assuming one shaku is about one foot, they did get 181.8 cm and round it down to 181 cm.

- Then everyone discovering Kane's height on his official website converted successfully those 181 cm to 5ft11 1/4 in Imperial system.

That how his height of 6 ft/183.5 cm became an official height of 181 cm/ 5ft11.25 all over the web.

Kane is listed as 5ft10 also on some Japanese websites...
Even the Official website is doing a wrong conversion cause on the very same link you gave Rob, his "English Profile" list him at 6Ft. Check-it out.
And as I told you I saw him measured in real life at a bit over 183 cm.
The Funny thing is the "5ft11.25" probably comes from other sites doing a right conversion of these 181 cm.
Originally a simple conversion mistake probably generate this wrong "official height" everywhere.
Since your website seeks accuracy, He should be listed at 6ft.
