Fan Casting Keith Kogane in Voltron: A Legend Forged

Born to a Japanese father and an American mother, Keith Kogane grew up on G.A.E. (Galaxy Alliance Earth) bases due to his father's service, which led to his parents' deaths when Keith turned 15. Following in his dad's shoes, Keith joined the G.A.E., making good strides in seven years time, becoming a Sergeant at 22. He also would find love, but his fiancée Beverly would die in a plane crash a few months before their wedding. Two years later and chosen by Colonel James Hawkins to lead a team of fellow G.A.E. soldiers to find the mystery of Voltron within deep space in the hopes to combat the Galra Empire's advancing conquest, Keith and his team find themselves on Arus, where they become the Voltron Force, with Keith operating Black Lion, the lion who controls the power of lightning and the central component that contains the main essence of Voltron's soul, who communes with Keith to reform his mighty robotic form.
