| “ | Look... I wasn't taught the difference between mercy and honor and I paid the price for it. If I'm extra hard on you, it's only because you have the potential to be better than I ever was. You want that, don't you? | „ |
| ~ Johnny Lawrence to Miguel Diaz |
| “ | I screwed up. And I'm sorry. Made it about me, and that's not what a sensei does. I took the easy way out. I gave up. What happened here at this school... it rocked me to my core. Couldn't look myself in the eye, let alone face all of you. | „ |
| ~ Johnny apologizing to Hawk and his Cobra Kai students |
John "Johnny" Lawrence is the deuteragonist of The Karate Kid franchise.
He is Daniel Larusso's former rival, John Kreese's top student, Robby Keene's father, and Miguel Diaz's sensei and father figure. Johnny was initially Cobra Kai's top student before being defeated by Daniel at the All Valley. This sent him into a pit of alcoholism and depression which he would stay in for the next 30 years, until he eventually reopened the Cobra Kai Dojo to get back at Daniel. However, after Kreese retook the dojo, Johnny decided to work with Daniel.
He is portrayed by William Zabka, who also played Greg Tolan in Just One of the Guys.
Biography[]
Johnny was born on August 20, 1967, to Laura Lawrence and an absent father. He has some very preliminary memories of his father, who left him when he was in kindergarten. Johnny was raised solely by his mother, and there were implied hardships during this time. Laura did everything she could to provide for him, including getting close to the rich Sid Weinberg, an Executive TV producer for Lorimar Television. Johnny met Sid once during dinner with him and his mother, and came to greatly dislike the man.
Laura married Sid and they moved to Encino Hills. However, he was a highly abusive man who used his financial power to intimidate Laura and Johnny. Johnny became the primary target of Sid's disdain, being verbally and emotionally abused. Johnny learned to distance himself from the fighting by listening to his Walkman. At school, Johnny didn't have any friends and was bullied by the older students. In 1979, Johnny found a karate dojo called Cobra Kai, with John Kreese teaching his students self-defense inside. This inspired Johnny greatly, and he immediately informed his parents about his desire to begin training there. Sid disapproved of the choice as Johnny had already failed at magic lessons, drum lessons, and other things, but he relented his onslaught when Laura suggested it could help Johnny make friends.
Once enrolled, Johnny was taken under Sensei Kreese's wing, where he rapidly advanced in his learning. One day, after Johnny was awarded his blue belt, Kreese found him crying. Johnny explained the problems he was having at home, but Kreese was unsympathetic to Johnny's plight. He told Johnny harshly that the instant tears leave one's eyes, that makes him a loser. Kreese forced Johnny to shout that he was a winner, which Johnny did, and in doing so, shed his timid, meek demeanor he had been up to that point. Kreese then warned that if he ever caught Johnny crying again, that would make him a loser and since Kreese does not waste his time with losers, that would be an effective expulsion from the dojo.
He became close friends with Cobra Kai members Bobby Brown, Dutch, Tommy and Jimmy. Together, they formed a friend group that terrorized younger students and mocked them for their "loser" ways. They thought highly of themselves because they dated several girls, rode motorcycles, and were the strongest kids at school. They were all part of the school soccer team as well.
Johnny eventually took part in the All Valley Karate Tournament in 1981, where he lost his fight to the eventual champion Darryl Vidal in the quarterfinals. However, he didn't make the fight easy on Vidal, which made Kreese realize he would not lose again. Johnny proved Kreese right by going on to to win the tournament in 1982 and 1983, beating his friend Tommy in the finals in the latter.
In the summer before their sophomore year of high school, Johnny and his friends attended a screening of Rocky III. They were seated behind a group of girls. Dutch threw milk-duds at the girls and one of them, a blonde named Ali Mills, stood up and confronted him. Johnny was impressed by this and developed a crush on Ali, hounding her for a date until she said yes. He went on to form a two-year relationship with Ali. In the summer after their senior year, Johnny and his friends went to a bar and got so drunk that he missed Ali's birthday, which led to a big fight between them and her ending their relationship.
The Karate Kid[]
Johnny is the leader of the Cobra Kai and the second meanest of them (only second to Dutch). Throughout the film, he bullies and harasses Daniel due to the latter becoming friendly with Ali Mills, his ex-girlfriend. Johnny does not show the enemy any mercy, which is what Kreese has taught him to do.
In the final round of the tournament, however, when Kreese tells him to sweep Daniel's leg, Johnny is shocked, and he expresses reluctance to do so, thus showing he has standards and knows when things are going too far. After Daniel defeats Johnny, the latter shows respect to Daniel by handing him the trophy and saying he was all right, and he played a good match.
The Karate Kid Part II[]
Immediately after the tournament's conclusion, Johnny argues with Kreese in the parking lot. Johnny argues that he did his best and doesn't believe that second place is that bad. Kreese becomes enraged by the statement and Johnny's loss, and tells him he is off the team. He snatches Johnny's trophy, breaks it in half, and calls him a loser. Johnny angrily calls Kreese "sick", but Kreese quickly puts Johnny into a headlock and strangles him from behind. Johnny's friends, with the exclusion of Dutch and Jimmy, tried to save Johnny from Kreese but are either assaulted or threatened with assault. Mr. Miyagi witnesses the events and steps in, eventually immobilizing Kreese. Miyagi pretends to strike a killing blow before honking his nose, saying that for someone with no forgiveness, living is a worse punishment than death. Daniel and Mr. Miyagi then left Kreese in the parking lot, while Johnny and his friends dispose of their Cobra Kai gis, signifying their resignation from the dojo.
Cobra Kai[]
Season 1[]
| “ | QUIET!!! | „ |
| ~ One of Johnny's catchphrases. |
Thirty-three years after his defeat (Cobra Kai), Johnny is still bitter and for the most part, hostile towards those around him. After he begins training his neighbor, Miguel, Johnny teaches him to be merciless. Over the course of the first season of Cobra Kai, Johnny begins to care for Miguel and realize that he is the only person that has not given up on him and starts treating the rest of the students better after Miguel called him out for being too harsh on them. He lied to Miguel that Daniel was the bully and he stole his girlfriend Ali from him. However, this was untrue since Johnny started the fight and he was an even bigger bully than the guys who harassed Miguel. Additionally, Ali broke up with Johnny way before she met Daniel.
Johnny's relationship with his son, Robby, is strained due to Johnny neglecting him his whole life, which has made Robbie resentful towards his father and bent on doing everything he can to make Johnny suffer. While Johnny has expressed desire to make amends with Robby as well as become a better role model towards him, Robby himself did seem to want to work things out with Johnny after Shannon tells him Johnny wanted Robby to live with him. However, Robby goes back to disliking him after seeing Johnny hugging Miguel, though Johnny was unaware that Robby saw him. Despite their failed relationship, Johnny does care about Robby, and Robby, in turn, does show that he does care for Johnny by accepting his apology following his loss in the All-Valley Tournament.
In the sixth episode of the first season of The Cobra Kai, it is revealed that when Johnny was a young kid, he was nice and caring, but was often bullied and ridiculed by his stepfather, Sid. In the ninth episode of the first season of The Cobra Kai, Johnny tells Daniel that he was often bullied by Sid. It is possible that Sid's poor treatment played a role in Johnny becoming an aggressive bully.
Following the Cobra Kai winning the All Valley tournament, Johnny begins to feel guilty that his karate lessons have turned Miguel into a vicious and dirty fighter like him and Kreese.
Season 2[]
| “ | This was a mistake. You want Cobra Kai? It's yours. | „ |
| ~ Johnny Lawrence to John Kreese |
Johnny tries his best to be a better human being. He disallows his students from cheating and fighting dirty, advises Miguel not to be merciless like him, and gives his former sensei Kreese a second chance, beats up Miguel's mom Carmen's date who is unfaithful, and gives Kreese an opportunity to teach with him as he believes he has changed.
Unfortunately, things start to take a turn when Kreese corrupts the minds of several of Johnny's students, which makes them vicious and ruthless, just like Kreese did to him.
After Johnny discovers that he kicks Kreese out, things only get worse. Miguel is admitted to the hospital after his decision to show mercy to Robby resulted in him being kicked off a railing at school by the latter, which makes Johnny feel guilty, Carmen lashes out against him as she blamed him for Miguel's injures and for getting into fights, Kreese has taken full ownership of the dojo, and a handful of his students have betrayed him and blamed him for Miguel's injury. In the end, it appears that Johnny has lost everything, which makes him angry and feel very guilty as he is well aware that he and Daniel's feud made them inadvertently responsible for the brawl.
Season 3[]
In this season, Johnny feels remorseful for his actions, having allowed Cobra Kai to be taken over by Kreese and even having some of his students to be corrupted by him, even letting Miguel Diaz get injured. As a result, Johnny becomes a drunkard, going to a bar to drink beer to soothe of his problems. Nevertheless, he still cared for both Miguel and Robby, and seemingly tried to work hard to train Miguel into walking again. Later in the season, Daniel and Johnny reconciled and merged their two dojos to defeat Kreese.
Season 4[]
In this season, Eagle Fang and Miyagi-Do compete against Cobra Kai, but they both lose. In the end, Johnny reconciles with Robby and decides to go find Miguel Diaz.
Season 5[]
Under the guise of a family road trip, Johnny takes Robby with him on a road trip to Mexico to find Miguel, where the two bond after fighting a group of Australian surfers who stole Miguel's wallet. Eventually, after many trials and tribulations, they find a tearful Miguel and take him back to California. After returning, Carmen reveals she is pregnant with Johnny's child. Fearful he will fail the child like he did Robby, Johnny uses YouTube tutorials to attempt to become a better parent, but fails. He then attempts to become a rideshare driver, but his taste in music and poor driving lead to him getting bad reviews. When Robby and Miguel get into another fight at a water park, Johnny attempts to get them to settle their differences at Olive Garden, and later an escape room. When a depressed Daniel comes to visit him, he comes up with the idea to have Miguel and Robby fight out their anger. The fight becomes brutal, and Miguel nearly kicks Robby off a ledge like he did to him back at the school fight, but doesn't, and the two make up, after which Johnny accidentally reveals Carmen's pregnancy. Later, Johnny and Chozen attack a new Cobra Kai sensei to defend Daniel's honor after seeing him in a depression. He later helps to encourage Daniel to regain his passion for teaching.
In an effort to discover Silver's master plan, Johnny and Daniel go to Kreese in prison, and manipulate him into revealing Silver's plan to enlist Cobra Kai in the Sekai Takai, the greatest Karate tournament in the world. After discovering this, Miyagi-Fang attempt to convince members of the Sekai Takai to enlist alongside Cobra Kai, and succeed. The next day, Carmen reveals that she is pregnant to Amanda, Daniel, and Chozen, and the five go out clubbing. However, the three men are kidnapped by Mike Barnes, a former Cobra Kai whose furniture store was burnt down by Silver. Initially believing Daniel to be responsible, Barnes enlists Chozen and Johnny's help to break into Silver's house and kill him. Johnny is forced to fight all of Silver's sensei's, and with motivation from his new baby, defeats all of them with help from Barnes at the last minute. He, Barnes, and Chozen heads to the Cobra Kai dojo. Johnny reunites with Carmen and both he and Daniel hug and express relief that Terry will be locked up with Kreese. However, Johnny and Daniel are shocked, when a police officer informs them what happened to Kreese.
Season 6[]
In the aftermath of Silver's arrest, Devon joins the combined dojo, while Johnny celebrates his new baby with the rest of the family. While going to the warehouse to break bricks with Robby and Miguel, Johnny discovers his warehouse he used as a dojo has been destroyed, and when he returns to Daniel's dojo, discovers that he has had Chozen prepare a lesson instead of Johnny. After Hawk and Demetri reveal the logo for "Miyagi-Fang" to be a caricature of Mr. Miyagi, Daniel refuses, and with Chozen's support, decides to name the combined dojo simply Miyagi-Do. Johnny, not wanting to lose his legacy, challenges Chozen to a fight; whomever wins the fight names the dojo. While training for the fight, Johnny receives a text from an unknown number, who tells him to meet at Coyote Creek, and says, "Cobra Kai Never Dies." When arriving, Johnny discovers the tester is Stingray, who has restarted Cobra Kai with kindergarteners as his students, and encourages Johnny to rejoin, proclaiming Cobra Kai as his legacy. Because of this, Johnny decides to concede the fight, deciding to become full-blown Miyagi-Do. After his ceiling suffers a leak due to clogged ceiling pipes, Johnny decides to start saving up for a new home, accompanied by Chozen in doing so. However, Johnny's brash nature causes him to embarrass himself in front of a real estate agent. However, after Chozen encourages him to be more careful, he meets an old classmate, who offers him a house if he can get some money. Because of this, Johnny attempts to join LaRusso Auto, and is hired after successfully selling a car with Chozen's advice. Carmen has her gender reveal at the LaRusso house. A package comes in that and Daniel and Johnny suspects that Kreese or Silver planted a bomb inside as part of their revenge plot. Shortly, Johnny arrives to the group with a pink stained shirt from the package, this reveals that Johnny and Carmen are having a girl. While training for the Sekai Taikai, Johnny discovers Tory and Sam have seemingly lost their competitive edge while fighting, and with Devon's help, schemes to get the two to hate each other again in order to regain their fighting ability. To do this, inspired by Ali's tales of gossip at slumber parties, invites Tory and Sam to a slumber party at Devon's house, where he attempts to pit the two girls against each other, down to stealing Miguel and Robby's phones and sending text messages to the girls. His attempt fails, as the girls only end up growing closer together after apologizing to each other. However, the next day, the girls regain their competitive spirit, helping Johnny out regardless. When it turns out only 6 fighters can fight in the Sekai Taikai, Johnny and Daniel decide to invite Mike Barnes to judge the students, due to his unbiased nature. However, Johnny frequently attempts to manipulate Barnes into paying attention to Devon, ironically distracting him from her. He later visits Barnes, who tells him that Devon didn't make the cut, and goads him into a fight. After the confrontation, Barnes apologizes and attempts to be fair to Devon. With the tiebreaker race done, the 6 students are selected: Miguel, Sam, Robby, Tory, Demetri, and Devon. Johnny praises Devon for earning a spot before she leaves the woods. Daniel, having discovered his actions the previous night, confronts Johnny for getting into a fight with Mike to get Devon a spot, going Eagle Fang to get what he wants, and they know both that Hawk should be competing in the tournament. They also state that they have no idea what they're facing despite having a strong team. After the 6 fighters are picked, team captains are picked via fights; Robby v Miguel, and Tory v Sam. Johnny trains them with his training methods, mixing offense and Miyagi-Do defense, much to Daniel's embarrassment. Back at the Diaz apartment, Johnny tells Carmen that the training is well and that the baby is kicking. When Miguel comes home, he tells them that he got deferred for Stanford and they hug him. When Johnny was doing a driving test with a customer, he confronts Daniel for training Miguel and Sam. He tells them that they are reviewing kata and as his boss, he tells him to go back to the test drive and that Johnny already took over training the previous day. Returning to the dealership, Johnny tells everyone he is leaving to start his own dealership and asks several employees to go with him but no one, including Louie and Anoush, refuses before he is stopped by Amanda. Amanda tells Johnny that the reason why Daniel's been acting strange is because of Mr. Miyagi's old box. She tells him what was inside it. Before the matches, Daniel tries to apologize but Johnny understands that he was doing his job. He adds that even if he's his boss at the dealership, he's his partner at the dojo. Miguel and Robby are first with Daniel as their referee and Johnny wishes both his son and step-son good luck as the two step onto the mat; their match begins and Miguel wins the first two points, but Robby mounts a comeback and beats Miguel and becomes male captain. Johnny praises his boys and comforts Miguel by saying that he was a badass out there. Johnny then referee's Sam and Tory's match. However, on the previous day before the deciding fights, Tory's mother dies, causing her to fight aggressively during their match. Daniel preemptively ends the fight, to Tory and Johnny's dismay. Tory then angrily leaves the team and presumably quits karate. Daniel and Johnny argue of Daniel's decision to end the fight with Johnny revealing that when his mom died, fighting would have helped him overcome his loss and this would've helped Tory work out her issue. Johnny, revealing that he discovered about Miyagi's box of secrets, calls him a liar, and proclaims that after the Sekai Taikai, he will leave Daniel. With Tory not going to compete with Miyagi-Do, Hawk takes her spot. Sam and Robby are now captains of Miyagi-Do. Miyagi-Do arrives in Barcelona with Sam and Robby leading, Miguel, Hawk, Demetri, and Devon to the mat looking over at all the other rival dojo’s. While getting ready, they see the new Cobra Kai, led by Kreese and Kim Da-Eun and their fellow students, led by Kwon Jae-Sung. Shortly, Tory appears with them, revealing that she has rejoined Cobra Kai and Kreese, much to Johnny, Daniel, and their student's shock.
Personality[]
Johnny was born into a broken home, with an abusive alcoholic father and working mother. He idolized his father as he was the only male influence in his life. Johnny was devastated when his father left, and desperately tried to hold onto the memory of the man, in spite of his mother's attempts to dissuade Johnny. He carried many of his fathers toxic traits into his adulthood. From minor traits such as his favorite beer to larger issues, like alcoholism and abandonment. Laura remarried to the much older, wealthier, yet still abusive, Sid Weinberg. Sid's toxicity, sexism, anger issues, belittlement of both Johnny and Laura, and his disregard for politeness made an impact on Johnny. The teen carried many of these traits into his adulthood as well. With another abusive figure in his life, Johnny's self-confidence depleted. When he found Cobra Kai Dojo, he saw students who were strong, independent, and brave; he longed to be one of them.
He joined the dojo and was quickly taken under Sensei Kreese's wing, and became a star student. Through the manipulative brainwashing tactics used by Kreese, Johnny's confidence lifted, but as did his sense of entitlement, pride, and quickness to violence. He strived to follow every letter of Cobra Kai's mantra - "Strike First. Strike Hard. No Mercy." - even at the cost of his morality. In high school, Johnny treated his girlfriend Ali Mills unfairly, often trying to micromanage her life. Johnny was young, wild, carefree, and broke the rules because he could. He rode a dirt bike and was openly a rebel. His insecurity became apparent when Daniel LaRusso moved to the San Fernando Valley. Johnny and his friends targeted Daniel for being new, young, and a friend to Ali. The kids bullied Daniel relentlessly and caused him severe physical, psychological, and emotional trauma at both Johnny and Kreese's behest. While Johnny did care for Ali, he didn't know how to show her as he never saw a functioning relationship. He ultimately drove her away - and right to Daniel. The boys feud escalated and their sensei's decided it would be settled at the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament. Kreese instilled the idea that winning was everything, so much so, that a loss would change the trajectory of Johnny's life, and forever brand him as a loser. Johnny believed this and went into the fight with the belief it was the most important thing in his life, instead of just a tournament. In spite of the negative influences in his life, Johnny still held a sense of right and wrong, as he knew it was against the competitions rules to sweep Daniel's injured foot. Kreese commanded him, so Johnny did, but showed remorse. Ultimately, Daniel beat Johnny, who accepted his loss and handed Daniel the trophy.
Kreese couldn't accept the defeat and berated Johnny who stood up for himself and called the man a loser. Kreese choked Johnny until Mr. Miyagi intervened. The attack traumatized Johnny and he carried that sense of betrayal, pain, and damage into his adult life. He believed he would always be a loser. The rest of Johnny's young adult life was greatly affected by his disillusionment over Kreese, losing Ali, and further verbal abuse from Sid. He spiraled into alcoholism, drug abuse, criminal activity, and strayed from the bright future he might have had. As an adult, Johnny dated Shannon Keene and they had an unplanned pregnancy around the same time Laura Lawrence died. With the loss of the only person who ever believed in him, Johnny fell into a tailspin and spent the night of his son's birth across the street at a bar. He believed Robby was better off without him, and became a drunk absentee father with a strained relationship with his son. He pushed the responsibility of having a child onto Sharon and rarely looked back.
Johnny grew bitter, resentful, and believed his "glory days" to be the 1980. So much so, that he purposefully surrounded himself with 1980s memorabilia - his car, movies, technological aversions, his apartment decor, and music - in an attempt to ignore the present day and the hardships around him. Most galling of all, however, was Daniel's success. He believed his old rival has succeeded where Johnny failed. His anger and resentment towards Daniel grew, as he was certain that Daniel's arrival in his life was why everything went wrong for him, and why it hadn't improved. It was easier for him to put blame on those around him instead of taking responsibility for his own actions and bad choices. He developed a flippant attitude and general disregard for decent manners and professional expectations of conduct. He developed a sharp wit, brutal sarcasm, and a unique sense of humor. He still hadn't learn to respect the rules, often bantering with shop owners and ignoring laws he didn't like. Johnny also became extremely self-centered and self-oriented. He only intervened in the harassment of Miguel Diaz because the fight was near his beloved car - he had no care for the boy involved. Miguel saw Johnny's martial arts moves and convinced Johnny to train him.
While Johnny refused at first, his rekindled rivalry with Daniel changed his mind. He taught Miguel the same tactics Kreese taught him, unknowingly continuing a cycle of violence and trauma. Miguel attempted to help Johnny transition into modern times (Despite Johnny's views of it being feeble or at the very least, constantly figuratively walking on eggshells), including the basic right to allow women into Cobra Kai., Though the reason for this was despite his faults, Johnny still had some regard for gentleman behavior as he couldn't bring himself to administer violence on girls. Johnny's acts of "Toughing up" were shown as he believed Miguel could "get over" his asthma and belittled Eli Moskowitz's scar to make a point. While his abuse did ultimately make Eli transition into "Hawk", an arguably stronger version of himself, "Hawk" also became a cruel, viscous, and vindictive bully alongside Miguel. However, Johnny slowly became more open-minded at the insistence of Miguel. Johnny's mentorship of Miguel bothered Robby, (however earlier Johnny had tried to genuinely make amends and right his wrongs) since Johnny was uninvolved in Robby's life but involved in Miguel's, a boy Robby's age. Robby plotted revenge against Johnny by befriended Daniel. While this made Robby a better person, it also infuriated Johnny, who saw Robby as just another person Daniel stole from him.
Johnny's rivalry with Daniel heated up, and came to a head at the 2018 All Valley Karate Tournament. Johnny saw how ruthless his students had become, as both Eli and Miguel flagrantly broke the tournament rules to injure Robby in parallels to Johnny's 1984 tournament fight with Daniel. Johnny reprimanded both the boys, who were confused as they showed "no mercy" as Johnny taught them. This was the wakeup Johnny needed to understand where he went wrong with this new generation of fighters. He decided to try and mend fences with Robby and, after the tournament, incorporated some of Daniel's mercy into his teachings. He punished Hawk and Miguel for fighting dirty, as he still believed in honor. However, John Kreese's return shook Johnny, who struggled to show that he was in charge of Cobra Kai and not Kreese. Kreese manipulated Johnny easily by making him think the former sensei had changed, and went along with Johnny's attempts to be the bigger man. He wanted to be better and teach better, though his students were reluctant to follow him, as they slowly believed through Kreese's cunning exploitations that Johnny had grown weak.
Meanwhile, he grew closer with Miguel and advised the boy to be merciful and better man than Johnny ever was. He was happy to train Miguel and viewed it as his biggest accomplishment. Johnny grew close to Carmen Diaz and developed a crush on her. He became protective over her, standing up for Carmen when her boyfriend degrades her behind her back. His appreciation and adornment for Carmen softened him a bit, and he wanted to be the man she deserved. He tried to take Carmen's advice to end the rivalry with Daniel, as no matter who is right, no good could come from the decades-old rivalry. While Daniel's moral high ground and overall personality fundamentally clashed with Johnny's, the men tried to be better despite their new arguments over Kreese. This is undermined by Kreese, whose manipulations came to the surface, which disappointed Johnny once again. He cuts the man out of Cobra Kai and his life once more, but the damage done to his students and those around him was already done.
