Ralph Macchio has reflected on how Cobra Kai honored Pat Morita's Mr. Miyagi, and how he imagines the actor would react to The Karate Kid franchise today. Morita portrayed Miyagi in the very first movie of the franchise, reprising his role in the four movies that followed. Although the actor died in 2005, his character has continued the be an important part of the franchise through Cobra Kai season 6, with his legacy still defining everything Daniel LaRusso (Macchio) does for his students. The same will also be reflected in the forthcoming Karate Kid: Legends movie.
