During an interview with Entertainment Weekly at Comic-Con, Ralph Macchio revealed that the upcoming third season of Cobra Kai will see his character, Daniel LaRusso, return to Japan in order to continue to navigate through life without the mentorship of his Karate Kid sensei, Mr. Miyagi (played by the late Pat Marita in the Karate Kid trilogy).
LaRusso fought in Japan during the events of 1986’s The Karate Kid Part II.
In Cobra Kai, Ralph Macchio and William Zabka revisit their star-making roles from the iconic film franchise, The Karate Kid.
