Kung Fu is an American television series that starred David Carradine. It was created by Ed Spielman, directed and produced by Jerry Thorpe, and developed by Herman Miller, who was also a writer for, and co-producer of, the series. The show was preceded by a full-length feature TV pilot, an ABC "Movie of the Week", which was broadcast in 1972. Kung Fu follows the adventures of a Shaolin monk, Kwai Chang Caine [甘貴祥 Qián Guānchāng] who travels through the American Old West armed only with his spiritual training and his skill in martial arts, as he seeks his... half-brother, Danny Caine. Keye Luke and Philip Ahn were also members of the regular cast. David Chow, who was also a guest star in the series, acted as the technical and kung fu advisor, a role later undertaken by Kam Yuen. Kwai Chang Caine is the orphaned son of an American man, Thomas Henry Caine, and a Chinese woman in mid-19th century China.
