Daniel LaRusso moves to Los Angeles with his mother, Lucille, and soon strikes up a relationship with Ali. He quickly finds himself the target of bullying by a group of high school students, led by Ali's ex-boyfriend Johnny, who study karate at the Cobra Kai dojo under ruthless sensei, John Kreese. Fortunately, Daniel befriends Mr. Miyagi, an unassuming repairman who just happens to be a martial arts master himself. Miyagi takes Daniel under his wing, training him in a more comionate form of karate for self-defense and, later, preparing him to compete against the brutal Cobra Kai.

The first three films in the series follow Daniel LaRusso, who learns to use karate for good under the eccentric mentorship of a janitor named Mr. Miyagi. In the fourth and final film of the original series, Mr. Miyagi becomes the guardian of his friend's granddaughter in an effort to steer her away from trouble. A new era introduces new rivals and new characters. In the fifth movie, Mr. Han, a kung fu master, es his wisdom to his new student, Dre. In Karate Kid: Legends, the two series are brought together when the main character, Li, is trained by both Mr. Han and the original Karate Kid, Daniel LaRusso.
