The Surprise Return of Miyagi

By Mike P. aka Cobra Kai Wisdom

When “Cobra Kai” first premiered in 2018, many veteran Karate Kid fans questioned how the Miyagiverse could continue without Mr. Miyagi. Cobra Kai creators Jon Hurwitz, Josh Heald, and Hayden Schlossberg have done a miraculous job with keeping Miyagi’s spirit alive throughout the series. But as the seasons progressed, the idea of Mr. Miyagi returning in physical form—as a young man in a flashbacksequence—became a constant wish in the fandom. In Part 2 of Season 6, that wish finally became a reality, but not in the way that anyone could have ever imagined. In what can only be described as both a cinematic masterpiece and nightmare, Mr. Miyagi finally returned to fight……Daniel. Could Mr. Miyagi actually instill fear in his best friend?

This impossible task fell to an actor named Brian Takahashi. Learn how Brian accomplished this feat, and all about his impressive career, in his interview with Peter Veunnasack at Cobra Kai Kompanion.
