I'd go with a relative unknown. The famous guy playing Brit will sell the film to the public - for Kato, they should go with someone new. Remember how awesome it was to see Jet Li in Lethal Weapon 4? That was the first time I saw him, knowing who he was (I didn't even recognize him from his other films).
Let someone new play Kato.

for either Jet Li or Donie Yen. If they're gonna go with younger, non "name" actors, i think Daniel Wu would make a decent Kato. He's from the U.S., making a name for himself in Asian (HK) cinema, so no worries about a heavy accent.

Jet Li.
And we already know how he will look in the costume:
Donnie Yen and Stephen Chow would be interesting choices too, though.
