Plots(1)
After their triumphant victory, Daniel and Miyagi continue their training, focusing on the honor and discipline of karate and the deeper powers of meditation. When Miyagi receives news that his father is near death, he and Daniel take off to the island of Okinawa where Miyagi's family lives. Upon Miyagi's return to his homeland, he is reunited with his long-lost childhood love, Yukie (Nobu McCarthy). Despite their youthful love for one another, Yukie was forced to marry Miyagi's rival, Sato (Danny Kamekona), in an arranged marriage, causing Miyagi to flee Okinawa instead of fighting for the woman that he loved. Now his old rival is a powerful karate expert and a rich, embittered landowner who demands a final grudge match with the wise and elderly Miyagi. As Sato threatens Miyagi and his family, his nephew, Chozen (Yuji Okumoto), is out to fight Daniel in a battle of young wills. Both teacher and student are forced to stand up to their rivals in an action-packed climax. The emotionally charged adventures of Daniel and Miyagi are set against the beauty and honor of old world Japan, instilling a rich sense of history into their mastery and understanding of the ancient art of karate.
