The Karate Kid was an animated TV show, featured in NBC's Saturday Morning Lineup. It ran for thirteen episodes, from September 9, 1989 to December 16, 1989. Just like the series of movies, the show featured the characters Daniel Russo (Joey Dedio) and his mentor, Mr. Miyagi (Robert Ito), though the storyline was different. Instead of a karate tournament motif, the show has an adventure/quest setting. When a miniature shrine that was said to have magical healing powers turns up missing in Okinawa, Japan, Daniel and Mr. Miyagi set out across the globe to find it. Along the way, they have to use their karate fighting skills to get out of some sticky situations. Many times, the duo have come so close to finding the shrine, but the question is, did they find the shrine and return it to where it really belonged in Japan? The show also starred Janice Kawaye as Taki, a Okinawa native with advanced karate skills.MORE
