Six months later, Daniel LaRusso visits Mr. Miyagi's house after recently attending a senior prom. He angrily explains that his girlfriend Ali has dumped him for a football player from UCLA, while his mother has received a business opportunity in Fresno, where he will be forced to spend his entire summer with her. Miyagi tells Daniel that he spoke to his mother and she has agreed to let Daniel stay with him. Miyagi receives a letter notifying him that his father is sick. He plans to return to his home village of Tomi on Okinawa Island and brings Daniel with him after he begs to come along.
