While a generation of The Karate Kid fans fell in love with the pairing of Daniel LaRusso and Ali Mills from the first movie in the franchise, another section of fans will forever ship Daniel with Kumiko, his love interest from The Karate Kid Part 2.
Her lead role in The Karate Kid Part II was one of Tomita’s earliest big breaks.
Tamlyn Tomita, who played Kumiko, is set to reprise the character for the third season of Cobra Kai.
In an interview, Tomita revealed what it felt like to reunite with Ralph Macchio after so many years.
