A smooth manifold \(M\) is said to have an \(f\)-structure if \(f\) is a \((1,1)\) tensor field satisfying \[ f^2 = -I + \sum^s_{i = 1} \xi_i \otimes \eta^i,\quad f\xi_i = 0,\quad \eta^i\circ f = 0, \] \( i = 1,\dots,s\), where \((\xi_1,\dots,\xi_s)\) is a frame with its dual \((\eta^1,\dots,\eta^s)\). The \(f\)-structure is called a \({\mathcal K}\)-structure if its fundamental form, with respect to a Riemannian metric, is closed and has vanishing Nijenhuis tensor. Moreover, a \({\mathcal K}\)-structure is a \(C\)-structure if each \(\eta^i\) is closed. In this paper, the authors study the above structures on a submanifold \(M\) of a Kähler manifold \(\overline{M}\). The main results are: (1) If \(M\) is a \(C\)-manifold then the components of the second fundamental forms are linear combination of \(\{\eta^i \otimes \eta^j\}\). The converse is subject to a condition on the connection of \(\bar{M}\). (2) If \(M\) is totally geodesic then it is a \(C\)-manifold. (3) \({\mathcal K}\)-manifolds are generic submanifolds.
