{{Quote|I learn plenty, yeah, I learned how to sand your decks maybe. I washed your car, paint your house, paint your fence. I learn plenty!|Daniel to [[Mr. Miyagi]]}}
{{Quote|No you don't want to hear the truth. All you want to hear about is how great it is. Well it may be great for you but it SUCKS for me! I hate this place! I HATE IT! I just want to go home. Why can't we just go home?|Daniel to Lucille LaRusso}}
{{Quote|You know... When MY father died, I spent a lot of time thinking I hadn't been such a great son. It seemed to me like I could have listened a little more, spent a little more time with him together... I felt so guilty, you know, like he did everything for me and I didn't do anything for him. Then one day I realized... that I did the greatest thing I ever did for him before he died: I was there with him... and I held his hand... and said goodbye.|Daniel to [[Mr. Miyagi]]}}
{{Quote|Mr. Miyagi, forget about it! We did it! We did it!!|Daniel to [[Mr. Miyagi]]}}
{{Quote|I'm sorry if you don't like it but I've got problems, okay, and if you're not going to be part of the solution, just don't give me a hard time about it!|Daniel to [[Mr. Miyagi]]}}
{{Quote|Hey, [[Mr. Miyagi]]... I know it's been a few months, but, better late than never, right? I've been thinking about you a lot lately... I, um... It's funny, when I was a kid you seemed to always have all the answers, y'know, I guess I thought when I got older I'd have it all figured out too. But now, I just... feel like I'm clueless. Makes me wonder, was it different for you, or were you just better at hiding it?|Daniel LaRusso}}
{{Quote|You figure, with two people you have twice the defense, right? Wrong. One of the cornerstones of Miyagi-Do Karate is always moving in a circle.

{{Quote|You sent them to my house?! You came after my daughter... You wanted a fight, you son of a bitch, NOW you've got one!|Daniel LaRusso to [[John Kreese]]}}
{{Quote|This is where I almost lost to fear. It was during my second tournament, I didn't even need to fight in the preliminary rounds, so I was fresh! I thought I was ready. But in the final match... my opponent was ruthless. Before I knew it, I was on that mat and fear had completely taken over. I was paralyzed, I couldn't move. The thought of getting up again and facing that guy just... scared the living daylights outta me. I just wanted to run off and hide...|Daniel LaRusso recounting his fight with [[Mike Barnes]]}}
{{Quote|Now I'm supposed to give up my dojo and step down as a sensei... There's too much at stake to honor an agreement made with men who have none. If Cobra Kai is gonna to keep growing and getting stronger, I need to do whatever it takes to stop them. Even if that means going on offense.|Daniel LaRusso}}
{{Quote|Why? To get back at your dad? Me? Miyagi-Do? Sam? The world? Because if that's the case, I have another Miyagi-Do secret that you can slip to your friends. Never put passion over principle, because even if you win, you lose.|Daniel LaRusso to [[Robby Keene]]}}
{{Quote|Miyagi-Do existed before any of us... It'll be around long after we're gone. The roots are strong, so the tree will survive...|Daniel LaRusso to [[Terry Silver]]}}

'''Link''' is
'''Daniel LaRusso''' is the main protagonist of ''The Karate Kid'' franchise. As a bullied high school student who recently moved to Reseda, California, Daniel was taken under the wing of wise karate master, Mr. Miyagi, who taught him the principles of inner peace and balance. Using the training he received, Daniel was able to overcome his bullies, and win two consecutive All Valley Karate championships.
Thirty years after Mr. Miyagi changed his life forever, Daniel got married, had two kids, and became the owner of the LaRusso Auto Group. Once the Cobra Kai dojo is reopened by his former rival, Johnny Lawrence, Daniel became the sensei of his own Miyagi-Do Karate dojo, teaching students to oppose Cobra Kai's violent practices.

==Notable Techniques==
<tabber>
*'''Crane Kick:''' The Crane Technique, also called the Crane Kick, is a Miyagi-Do Karate technique. The user stands on their right foot, lifts their left leg, opens their "wings" and takes balance. They then jump on their right foot and kick, their arms will go down on guard but the opponent will expect a left-foot kick. If done correctly, there is no defense.
*'''Drum Technique:''' The Drum Technique is a Miyagi-Do Karate technique created by the patriarch of the dojo, Shimpo Miyagi. After his accidental trip to China, Shimpo Miyagi returned with the secret of Miyagi family karate—a small Okinawan hand drum. The move involves the dodging of attacks while twisting one's body back and forth in similar fashion to the pellets of the handheld drum.
*'''Miyagi Pressure Points:''' The Secret of Miyagi Pressure Points is a technique created by ancient Miyagi ancestors, to fend off Japanese invaders. With no other way to stop the invaders, they discovered these pressure points as a way to take away their ability to wage war. By striking hidden pressure points around the body, a practitioner can temporarily disable an opponent's limbs.
'''Standard Tactics:''' By principle, unless aggravated, [https://youtu.be/UdbsWT3aF_8?t=77 Daniel will never strike first in battle].

==Note==
Though Miyagi-verse characters are expert martial artists, this is because of their nigh-supernatural skill and rate of growth, not their actual power input. Generally, they are only above average in strength, carried by their technique. For instance, [[Tory Nichols]], one of the stronger characters of the series, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjQXZr97fdY breaks her hand punching through solid stone]<ref>Cobra Kai season 5</ref>.
**'''Location:''' All Valley Under 18 Karate Tournament, San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles, California
**'''Note:''' Bobby was disqualified for deliberately injuring Daniel's leg, allowing for Daniel to move onto the finals without having to finish their match.
*'''[[Johnny Lawrence]]''' - [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSWpxvRaclY Fight]<ref>Cobra Kai season 2</ref>
**'''Conditions:''' None.
**'''Location:''' Reseda Heights, Reseda, Los Angeles, California

No you don't want to hear the truth. All you want to hear about is how great it is. Well it may be great for you but it SUCKS for me! I hate this place! I HATE IT! I just want to go home. Why can't we just go home?
„
~ Daniel to Lucille LaRusso
“
You know... When MY father died, I spent a lot of time thinking I hadn't been such a great son. It seemed to me like I could have listened a little more, spent a little more time with him together... I felt so guilty, you know, like he did everything for me and I didn't do anything for him. Then one day I realized... that I did the greatest thing I ever did for him before he died: I was there with him... and I held his hand... and said goodbye.
I'm sorry if you don't like it but I've got problems, okay, and if you're not going to be part of the solution, just don't give me a hard time about it!
Oh, Johnny Lawrence calling someone else an asshole, that's rich, man...
„
~ Daniel LaRusso
“
Hey, Mr. Miyagi... I know it's been a few months, but, better late than never, right? I've been thinking about you a lot lately... I, um... It's funny, when I was a kid you seemed to always have all the answers, y'know, I guess I thought when I got older I'd have it all figured out too. But now, I just... feel like I'm clueless. Makes me wonder, was it different for you, or were you just better at hiding it?
„
~ Daniel LaRusso
“
You figure, with two people you have twice the defense, right? Wrong. One of the cornerstones of Miyagi-Do Karate is always moving in a circle. And with the wheel technique, you'll soon see that two people can be as strong as twenty. Now, are you ready?
This is where I almost lost to fear. It was during my second tournament, I didn't even need to fight in the preliminary rounds, so I was fresh! I thought I was ready. But in the final match... my opponent was ruthless. Before I knew it, I was on that mat and fear had completely taken over. I was paralyzed, I couldn't move. The thought of getting up again and facing that guy just... scared the living daylights outta me. I just wanted to run off and hide...
„
~ Daniel LaRusso recounting his fight with Mike Barnes
“
Now I'm supposed to give up my dojo and step down as a sensei... There's too much at stake to honor an agreement made with men who have none. If Cobra Kai is gonna to keep growing and getting stronger, I need to do whatever it takes to stop them. Even if that means going on offense.
„
~ Daniel LaRusso
“
Why? To get back at your dad? Me? Miyagi-Do? Sam? The world? Because if that's the case, I have another Miyagi-Do secret that you can slip to your friends. Never put passion over principle, because even if you win, you lose.
Daniel LaRusso is the main protagonist of The Karate Kid franchise. As a bullied high school student who recently moved to Reseda, California, Daniel was taken under the wing of wise karate master, Mr. Miyagi, who taught him the principles of inner peace and balance. Using the training he received, Daniel was able to overcome his bullies, and win two consecutive All Valley Karate championships.
Thirty years after Mr. Miyagi changed his life forever, Daniel got married, had two kids, and became the owner of the LaRusso Auto Group. Once the Cobra Kai dojo is reopened by his former rival, Johnny Lawrence, Daniel became the sensei of his own Miyagi-Do Karate dojo, teaching students to oppose Cobra Kai's violent practices.
