Karate Kid part II is centered in Okinawa, where Miyagi (Pat Morita) has returned to send off his dying father. Daniel joins him. Miyagi finds the environment much different from when he left. His old rival (in love and karate) has become wealthy, while the villagers have suffered and become poor. The old rival insists on a fight to the death. Daniel (Ralph Machio) gains his own enemy and rival in love, Chozen.
Circumstances are such that Miyagi and his rival resolve their differences, but Chozen is determined to the end, and forces a one on one match with Daniel. Chozen is posed for victory, when using small drums Miyagi and then the crowd make a rhythm for Daniel, and using the rhythm Daniel is able to block Chozen's attack and counter instead. He snatches victory from defeat.
