Kyrano's Role in Thunderbirds
Original TV Series
Kyrano is the father of Tin-Tin. He is also the half-brother of the villain, The Hood. Kyrano works as a manservant in the Tracy family home on Tracy Island. He helps with chores alongside Grandma. He is well-known for serving tea and coffee to everyone.
Kyrano once had a chance to inherit a lot of money from a rubber farm in Malaysia. But The Hood tricked him and took his fortune. After this, Kyrano decided he didn't want to chase money anymore. He chose to live a peaceful life of thinking and meditation.
He traveled the world and had many different jobs. He worked as a chef in Paris and a gardener in England. He was also a scientist who made special plant-based foods for astronauts. Later, his old friend Jeff Tracy asked him to join International Rescue. Kyrano accepted the offer and moved to Tracy Island.
The Hood has a strange power over Kyrano's mind. He sometimes uses this power to make Kyrano tell him secrets about International Rescue. Kyrano never tells anyone about this. He just thinks these mind controls are "dizzy spells." Even so, he is always very loyal to the Tracy family. Kyrano's wife had passed away before the series began. His full first name is never mentioned in the show.
Kyrano in Other Stories
In the 2004 Thunderbirds movie, Kyrano has a wife named Onaha. In this film, Kyrano seems to be his first name, not his last name. He and his family are shown as being from India and following the Muslim faith.
Kyrano does not appear in the newer 2015 TV series. In this show, it is said that he has retired. However, his daughter, who is now called Tanusha "Kayo" Kyrano, and his brother, The Hood, are still important characters. In one episode, Kayo mentions that her father was very sad when Jeff Tracy disappeared. She hopes he will come out of retirement if Jeff is found alive.
