Another interesting fact, however, is that the name given in The Karate Kid Part II was not his original given name
Story
Decades after the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament match, a middle-aged Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence find themselves once again as martial arts rivals. The Cobra Kai crew searches through a studio vault and finds a number of never-before-seen clips that they manage to introduce into the series via flashbacks. Ralph Macchio told Uproxx that there are three brand new angles of his famous crane kick on his tombstone, which is a continuity error, as in Karate Kid 4 (1994), his name is listed as Keisuke, but it was actually shown earlier on the sign Chozen held for him in Karate Kid 2 (1986) to be Nariyoshi. This means that it was The Next Karate Kid who changed his name, while Cobra Kai kept the name he was previously given.

I didn’t have high expectations for this show, or at least I didn’t have high expectations. The ones I did have were a fun low-budget trip down memory lane.

But this is so much more. The production values are great, the cast is great, the plot, the writing, the tone, the pacing, the soundtrack are all great. It’s all great from start to finish and has that Mr. It seems to hit so many of the right notes without going overboard, the comedy is just right, the emotional moments, just right, the cheese, the action, just right.
ALL THE BEST!!!
It also does a great job of letting the viewer decide who the real heroes and villains are, because unlike the movies, nothing is black and white. If you’ve seen the movies, you’ll really enjoy this. If you haven’t, you’ll probably really enjoy it anyway. It stands on its own and feels modern, but as a continuity 30 years later, it does so masterfully and very respectfully to its past and its source without relying too heavily on it.
