Disciple J’Onni is one of Qhreese’s students in the Kobra Kai dojo. Qhreese wants J’Onni to put your wizard out of commission in a fight. J’Onni knows he cannot take on your wizard on a fair one-on-one fight, so Qhreese joins the match. When your wizard bests both of them, J’Onni quits the Kobra Kai and joins Rahqi’s gym.
John “Johnny” Lawrence is a fictional character of the Karate Kid media franchise. Played by William Zabka, he appears as the secondary antagonist of The Karate Kid, a minor character in The Karate Kid Part II, a flashback character in The Karate Kid Part III, and one of the two protagonists (alongside Daniel LaRusso) of the sequel television series Cobra Kai.
Johnny is the top student of the Cobra Kai dojo. His sensei is John Kreese, a ruthless master of Tang Soo Do karate.
Johnny is the two-time defending champion of the All Valley Under-18 Karate Championships tournament in both 1982 and 1983. Before the events of the film, his girlfriend Ali Mills broke up with him after a two-year relationship. One night at a beach party, Johnny confronts Ali about their breakup and starts getting violent. New Jersey native Daniel LaRusso, who recently moved to the area, tries to stick up for Ali, and Johnny beats him up with his karate skills. Over the next few weeks, Johnny and his Cobra Kai gang harass Daniel in and out of school. At a Halloween dance, Daniel soaks Johnny in the bathroom with a hose while he is rolling a joint, prompting Johnny and the other Cobras to chase him down and beat him until Mr. Miyagi, the maintenance man of Daniel’s apartment building, intervenes and defeats Johnny and his gang. The next day, Mr. Miyagi confronts Kreese at the Cobra Kai dojo and proposes that Daniel and Johnny’s feud be settled in the upcoming tournament. Kreese agrees, but warns that if they do not attend the tournament, both Daniel and Mr. Miyagi will be declared fair game to Cobra Kai.
At the tournament, Johnny quickly advances to the finals, scoring three unanswered points against a highly skilled opponent in his semi-final match. When Daniel reaches the semi-finals, Bobby Brown, one of the more compassionate Cobras and the least vicious of Daniel’s tormentors, reluctantly (under orders from Kreese) strikes Daniel’s knee with an illegal kick, getting himself disqualified while Johnny looks at Kreese in disgust. Before Johnny is declared the victor by default, Ali informs the tournament announcer that Daniel will fight in the final round. During the fight, Daniel gets the upper hand and gives Johnny a bloody nose. Kreese orders Johnny to sweep Daniel’s leg, considered unethical because of Daniel’s injury. Fearing his sensei, Johnny manages to land an elbow on Daniel’s bad leg, receiving a warning from the referee. Upon the restart of the round, Johnny loses the match after Daniel lands a crane kick to his face. Having gained a new respect for his nemesis, Johnny personally gives Daniel the trophy.
