I remember a little bit about the Karate Kid
cartoons. It's probably been at
least 8 years since I last saw that cartoon. The
voice of the Daniel was done
by the same person who does the voice of Wheeler
from Captain Planet. I think
it's kind of funny, that Wheeler was a New Yorker
and Daniel was from Jersey
yet they sounded exactly alike. The voice of the
girl in the karate kid was
done by the woman who played Gi in Captain
Planet. I can't remember too many
of the episodes. The whole plot of the thing was
that they were in search of
some small shrine. Someone evil would get a
hold of it, the good guys would
beat the bad guy, but the shrine would be lost.
I remember one episode where
Daniel was shrunk. Then I vaguely remember some
episode where Miyagi was
teaching Daniel to visualize, and when he was
fighting this strong Japanese
warrior, he visualized the pool balls in the
shape of a banzai tree and
somehow beat the guy. Don't ask me what that
means, I can remember what
happened but that's about it. In the last
episode our heroes met up with an
opposing family who also wanted the shrine. I
think they were in Okinawa.
Finally when Taki is inches away from getting the
shrine, she instead saves
the other guy who was looking for the shrine.
The shrine then falls into the
river, but the two opposing families are friends
again. That's how the series
ended.
