History[]
Karate Kid Part II[]
After receiving a letter notifying him that his father is sick, Mr. Miyagi returned to Tomi Village in Okinawa along with Daniel LaRusso. Arriving at the village, Miyagi and Daniel are welcomed by his former lover Yukie and her niece Kumiko. They discover that Miyagi's former best friend Sato Toguchi has become a rich industrialist whose supertrawlers have destroyed the local fish population, impoverishing the villagers. They are forced to rent property from Sato, who owns the village's land title.
When Daniel accidentally exposed corruption in Chozen Toguchi's grocery business, the later accuses the former of insulting his honor and begins to harass him. After several encounters, their feud comes to a head when Chozen and his cronies attack Daniel and vandalize Miyagi's family property. The group is quickly defeated and runs off after Miyagi arrives. Miyagi and Daniel plan to return to Los Angeles before the situation gets worse. However, Sato shows up with bulldozers and threatens to destroy the village if Miyagi refuses to fight. Forced to comply, Miyagi gives in on the condition that Sato signs the village's land title permanently over to the villagers regardless of the fight's outcome. Sato begrudgingly agrees after Miyagi describes the condition as a "small price" to pay for his honor.
On the day of the fight, a typhoon arrives. Villagers take cover at a nearby shelter, but Sato is trapped when his family's dojo is leveled by the storm. Miyagi and Daniel rush to rescue him. After carrying Sato to safety, Daniel successfully rescues a little girl named Yuna who had been stranded on top of a bell tower. Sato orders Chozen to help, but when he refuses, Sato rushes to assist Daniel himself. He then disowns his nephew for refusing to assist, and an enraged Chozen runs off into the storm in disgrace. The following morning, as the villagers are rebuilding, Sato returns with his bulldozers — only this time to help rebuild the village. Sato hands over the land title to the village and asks for Miyagi's forgiveness, which he accepts. Daniel and Kumiko approach Sato about hosting the upcoming O-bon festival in a ceremonial castle, to which he agrees and invites Daniel to join in the celebration.

Season 3[]
Daniel LaRusso returned to Okinawa for the first time in thirty-three years, and he was shocked to find a very different Tomi Village, which was now a modern town, and at its center is Tomi Village Green, a premier destination for shopping and entertainment. Daniel was expecting to see the agrarian village he remembered in 1985, but he learned that the village's farming community was hit hard by their crops drying up. According to an Okinawan resident, Sato Toguchi came to the rescue by embracing a new business model: retail. By creating a 21st-century mall with movie theaters, high-end stores, and chain eateries like KFC, Baskin Robbins and Jersey Mike's, Sato gave the people of Tomi Village jobs and saved their community.
