Kwai Chang Caine (Chinese: 虔官昌; pinyin: Qián Guānchāng) is the main character of the 1972 television series Kung Fu. He is a Shaolin master who travels through the American Old West to find his half-brother, Danny Caine.
Caine has been portrayed by David Carradine as an adult, Keith Carradine as a younger Caine, Radames Pera as a child Caine, and Stephen Manley as the youngest Caine.
Kwai is the orphaned son of an American man, Thomas Henry Caine (Bill Fletcher), and a Chinese woman, Kwai Lin because of his orphan status he is raised by his maternal grandfather. After his grandfather dies he is accepted for training at a Shaolin Monastery, where he grows up to become a Shaolin priest and martial arts expert.
In the pilot episode, Caine's beloved mentor and elder, Master Po, is murdered by the Emperor's nephew; outraged, Caine retaliates by killing the nephew. With a price on his head, Caine flees China to the western United States, where he seeks to find his family roots and, ultimately, his half-brother, Danny Caine whom he ultimately finds him in the third and final season also discovering he's an uncle.
