Kakas competed in gymnastics at the 1896 Summer Olympics, the 1900 Summer Olympics, and the 1906 Intercalated Games. Kakas was also selected for the 1896 Summer Olympics in athletics, though he did not start in those events. He won many national gymnastics championships and also served as a judge and an official for BTC and Ferencvárosi Vasutasok Sportköre, a club which he founded. After his death at age 52 from a pulmonary hemorrhage, the club he founded organized a competition named after him.
