In The Karate Kid (1984), Miyagi’s name is briefly seen on Miyagi’s dog tags attached to the keys to the 1948 Ford given to Daniel for his birthday, indicating that Miyagi’s name is Hideo.
The problem is, he was typecast and never got a chance to shine. Cobra Kai is his show and it shows a side of Johnny that is a real human experience. The new season of Silo; is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month.
