Plot summary
Part II begins where the first movie ends off, when Mr. Miyagi confronts evil martial arts teacher John Kreese (Martin Kove). After a bloody match, six months later, Miyagi has to go to Okinawa to visit his dying father. He is confronted by his old nemesis Sato (Danny Kamekona), his nephew Chozen (Yuji Okumoto), and his ex-girlfriend Yukie (Nobu McCarthy) and her niece Kumiko (Tamlyn Tomita). Daniel falls in love with the niece, and has to protect Miyagi's honor in a fight to the death with a later humiliated Chozen.
