Sato Toguchi is the secondary antagonist turned ally in The Karate Kid Part II. Sato was the uncle of Chozen and was the owner of Sato's Karate, the biggest dojo in Okinawa. Sato was the enemy of Miyagi until he changed his ways.
He was played by Danny Kamekona.
Biography
He was once Miyagi's best friend, as during their childhood, Miyagi and Sato had a strong brotherly friendship. Their friendship was so strong that Miyagi even asked his father to accept Sato as his karate student (even though traditionally it had only been taught from father to son). However, when the two grew older, Sato had been arranged to marry a girl named Yukie. Although Yukie was arranged to marry Sato, she had instead fallen in love with Miyagi. Their love was so strong to one another, that Miyagi had announced that he would break the tradition of arranged marriage and marry Yukie anyway. Sato however, felt disgraced and challenged Miyagi to a fight to save his honor. But Miyagi left Okinawa the next day.
Sato did not forget the apparent slight to his honor but in the meantime went on with his life. He founded his own dojo, Sato's Karate, and became an official karate instructor for the U.S. military over the next 40 years, presumably to personnel stationed in Okinawa.
When Miyagi returned to Tome Village in 1985 with Daniel LaRusso, Sato had become a rich industrialist and had been eager to face his old friend in a death match. However, the two became friends again when Miyagi saved his life during a typhoon, but his relationship with Chozen was now destroyed because Chozen had refused to aid Daniel in rescuing a young girl from the typhoon. Sato is not a villain per se, but however more along the lines of the tragic anti-hero who eventually finds redemption and peace. All of Sato's actions against Miyagi were out of anger of his former friend dishonoring him, though he does show signs of sympathy and respect by letting Miyagi and Daniel see Miyagi's father for the last time and honoring a lost bet between Daniel and Chozen. However, after Miyagi saves his life, Sato has a complete change of heart. He uses his resources to rebuild Tome Village after the typhoon, relinquishes the deed to the village, asks Miyagi for forgiveness (and receives it), and announces that the O-Bon Festival will resume. After Chozen arrives and attempts to kill Kumiko to convince Daniel to fight him to the death, Sato attempts to convince Chozen to stop, saying that "hate is wrong", but Chozen, driven into a blind rage over Sato's disowning of him, refused to hear it.
Personality
During his childhood days it can be assumed that Sato was a nice and good person. He has such a strong relationship with Mr. Miyagi that the latter convinced his father to teach him karate. However, after Miyagi made a public speech about his desire to break with tradition and marry Yukie (despite her being arranged to marry Sato), an angry Sato, feeling dishonored, challenges Miyagi to a fight, causing Miyagi to leave Okinawa.
When Miyagi returns to Okinawa 40 years later, Sato is revealed to be a rich and coldhearted business man who still wants to get revenge on Miyagi. He is cold to Miyagi and eager to fight him. He is so bent on fighting Miyagi that he is willing to destroy the village.
Despite his coldhearted and cruel behavior, he respects his teacher, evidenced by him giving Miyagi 3 days to mourn for his fathers death as a way of honoring his teacher.
Sato's cruel ways comes to an end when Miyagi saves him during a thunderstorm. After being saved by Miyagi he goes back to being the good person he was by disowning Chozen when the latter refuses to help Daniel and Kumiko and helping rebuild the land he destroyed.
