But we do get Mr. Miyagi, newcomer Hilary Swank, aka The Next Karate Kid and…
Mr. Miyagi directly mentions Daniel only once in The Next Karate Kid.
A thorough study of the IMDb credits reveals that actor Arsenio ‘Sonny’ Trinidad is in both The Next Karate Kid and The Karate Kid Part III, albeit in different roles.
The Next Karate Kid doesn’t give us Daniel, Johnny, or Sensei John, but we do get something never before revealed by the Karate Kid movies: Mr. Miyagi’s first name!
