The main rival of Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) while he accompanied Mr. Miyagi (Pat Morita) to Japan, brash karate student Toguchi was seen wearing his gi while training in the dojo of his uncle, corrupt industrialist Sato (Danny Kamekona). This costume consists of a traditional white cotton gi shirt featuring a custom-made yellow and black fist emblem patch with writing to the left breast, and a black cotton belt. The shirt is marked "YUJI" on the collar interior and is inscribed "Maybe trouble looking for you!' and signed by actor Okumoto underneath the patch. The Chozen character was recently revitalized in Cobra Kai, the hit television update to the franchise. It exhibits signs of use and wear, but remains in good overall condition. Estimate: $12,000 - 16,000
