Based loosely on the 1984 motion picture of the same name with Ralph Macchio as Daniel and Pat Morita as Miyagi, The Karate Kid cartoon came after two lesser movie sequels.
In this one-season cartoon, Daniel was a New Jerseyite having a hard time after being transplanted to California until his mystical Asian mentor Miyagi taught him the sport of karate.
Miyagi had another student – a temple girl named Taki (not seen in the movies) – who teamed with them to search for a magical shrine located on Okinawa Island.
