Many supporters criticised Levy for the team's severe lack of silverware during his 24-year tenure.
However, Kane insists that Levy was beneficial for his former club and deserves more recognition for his accomplishments.
The England skipper expressed: "Obviously it (Levy's departure) was a bit of a surprise, if I'm honest. I didn't expect it, didn't see that coming.
"Daniel has been a fantastic chairman for Tottenham in the 20-or-so years he's been there.
"Considering where the club was and where it is now, I think there's been a big change, not just on the pitch, but off the pitch as well.
"Obviously I don't know too much about why or what happened. All I can say is I wish Daniel all the best in whatever's next for him."
