Biography[]
Season 2[]
Mitch joined Cobra Kai along with his friend Chris after the two were in awe of their performance at the All Valley karate tournament. Upon joining he was given the nickname "Assface" by Hawk, who was quick to take Mitch and Chris under his wing as his goons.
Chris and Mitch later accompanied Hawk, along with Doug Rickenberger and Mikey Miller, when Hawk confronted Demetri at the West Valley Mall over a negative Yelp review he had left for Cobra Kai. After Demetri refused to take the review down, Hawk and his goons attacked him, but were fought off by Samantha LaRusso and Robby Keene.
Mitch's friendship with Chris later broke up after Chris defected from Cobra Kai to join Miyagi-Do Karate under Daniel LaRusso.
During the fight at West Valley High School between Cobra Kai and Miyagi-Do, Mitch faced his former friend again and attacked him, despite Chris not wanting to fight. Mitch managed to kick Chris to the ground, but Chris grabbed a textbook and slammed it into Mitch's face, defeating him.
Season 3[]
Mitch later took part in several of Hawk's schemes to get back at the Miyagi-Do kids for the school fight. Himself and Hawk cause trouble at thee local arcades which results in a fight between Cobra Kai and Miyagi-Do. However, after Kyler joins Cobra Kai and took Mitch's spot in the dojo by beating him, Mitch started to grow discontent with Cobra Kai. When Johnny Lawrence returned and started his new dojo, "Eagle Fang Karate", Mitch was one of the few kids to leave Cobra Kai and join it. He would later wind up on the same side as Chris after the Eagle Fang kids met with the Miyagi-Do kids to form an alliance to stop Cobra Kai.
Season 4[]
Mitch is also training for the All-Valley tournament. He is then ordered to spar with Bert, but is distracted, allowing Bert to kick him twice. While sparring against Hawk, he does appear to be losing but managed to land a hit on Hawk before their match is halted with no winner.
He also watches Daniel and Johnny's rematch, but after realizing that the merge didn't work, Mitch leaves with Johnny.
While waiting for their female recruit Piper, Mitch corrects Johnny about how long they've been waiting, but when Johnny turns around, he stops talking. However, they learn that Piper joined Cobra Kai, upsetting them. Fortunately, they get a girl named Devon to join. During one of their training sessions, Mitch is sparring with another student, but when he gets sand thrown in his eyes, he ends up hitting his head on a shelf. On one occasion, he is kicked in the groin by Devon. After the session, he is upset with Miguel for being a co-sensei.
On the day of the All-Valley, Mitch is participating in the skills competition. He demonstrates his skills with a bo staff, but ends up throwing it to the judges. It is unknown if he participates in the individual one on one matchups, but if he did, then he would have been eliminated at some point before the quarter-finals, which is revealed in a Season 4 deleted scene where he gets eliminated by an All Star Karate student. Despite Eagle Fang being eliminated from the tournament, he still watches the matches and joins Miyagi-Do after Daniel and Johnny reconcile and team up for Sam and Tory's match.
Season 5[]
Mitch is at a water park alongside Eagle Fang students, Devon and Bert. After a heated exchange between Eagle Fang, Cobra Kai and Miyagi-Do, all the students are kicked out.
When Cobra Kai opened a new location at a mall, Mitch was seen at the area and ate a free brownie and got a free snack only for him to get caught by Chris, Bert, and Nathaniel, causing him to put down the free snack he grabbed and leave the area with the three.
Later, the Eagle Fang students and Miyagi-Do students are training with Chozen. He gives them eggs and have to hide them but are picked off by Chozen. The lesson ends when the students gather their eggs and protect it as a whole.
Later, Mitch along with Miyagi-Do and Eagle Fang goes to the Cobra Kai dojo to fight against them in order to qualify for the Sekai Taikai tournament. While arriving, he notices that the flagship dojo has smoothies and many girls on their team, only for Bert to turn him away. During the girls match, Sam wins her match and because the organizers are impressed with the dojo, Miyagi-Do and Eagle Fang qualifies. He later attends the afterparty at Miguel's apartment, where he meets 3 girls and believes that they were invited because their dojo got into to the Sekai Taikai; however, the 3 don't know what it is and only wanted a drink. When he tries to explain what it is, Hawk tells him to get a cup for the girls, causing to him to get irritated (because he was annoyed from being called his most labelled nickname) while doing so.
Now ready to finish Cobra Kai, Miyagi-Do and Eagle Fang arrive at the Cobra Kai dojo to find evidence on Terry Silver. While Cobra Kai confronts them, it's later revealed by Kenny and Kyler that Mitch has been undercover for his former dojo. Mitch reveals his betrayal by siding with Cobra Kai. When a shocked Bert asks Mitch why he is doing this, Mitch explains of having felt disrespected by his 'allies', as they always address him by the name 'Penis Breath' (which is most commonly used by Johnny and his best friend Chris), while also adding he never wanted to leave Cobra Kai in the first place, and that Cobra Kai's lavish way of training is what suits him.
A fight later breaks out; Mitch can be seen with a fellow Cobra taking on Chris, who is able to easily get rid of the latter's ally. The two can later be seen fighting with Chris coming out on top for a third time by knocking him to the ground. Once Silver's cheating ways are exposed and he is defeated by Daniel in a battle, Kenny, Mitch, Kyler and the other now former Cobras leave Cobra Kai for good, with Mitch's stance being unknown.
