In the original "Karate Kid" the name Hideo Miyagi, which translates to “hero” Miyagi, can be seen stamped in reverse on his WWII dog tags, being used as a keychain for the car he gives Daniel as a birthday present. As written in Japanese characters in "The Karate Kid Part II", his name is 宮城成義 ("Miyagi Nariyoshi"), which is translated as Nariyoshi Miyagi in the "Cobra Kai" television series. However, he is called Keisuke Miyagi at the start of "The Next Karate Kid".
