Nariyoshi Miyagi, commonly known as Mr. Miyagi, is a fictional character in the four original films of the Karate Kid franchise, portrayed by Pat Morita. A wise karate master, he mentors Daniel LaRusso in the first three films (1984-1989) and Julie Pierce in The Next Karate Kid (1994). The sequel series Cobra Kai (2018-present) frequently references Miyagi, who is stated to have died between The Next Karate Kid and Cobra Kai (reflecting Morita's own passing in 2005); Cobra Kai is itself thematically structured via The Miyagi-Verse, in reference to characters who knew Mr. Miyagi.
