Although Daniel is nervous about meeting the once-pugnacious karate student, Chozen seemed to let bygones be bygones and the two quickly reconciled. In the series, Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) and Chozen, once hardened enemies back in the ’80s, reunite for the first time in over 30 years when Daniel returns to Japan in episode 4 of season 3. Since then, according to a 2021 profile in the Seattle Times, he has not stopped thinking about the role, and was eager to accept an invitation back to the franchise when Netflix called him up in September 2019. Yuji Okumoto, a sansei (third-generation Japanese-American), was born in Los Angeles in 1959, and portrayed the “Karate Kid Part II” antagonist Chozen back in 1986, at the age of 26.
