Who is Robby Keene in Cobra Kai?

Johnny's son, raised by everyone else · Miyagi-Do

Robby Keene (Johnny's son, raised by everyone else) is a character in Cobra Kai, part of Miyagi-Do. Robby Keene grew up as the collateral of Johnny Lawrence's worst decade — a smart, angry kid running petty cons until he takes a job at LaRusso Auto specifically to wound his father, and accidentally finds in Daniel the mentor Johnny never managed to be. Robby is the show's pinball: Miyagi-Do, juvie, Cobra Kai under Kreese's flattery, and back — every dojo a different father audition. His war with Miguel, over Sam and over Johnny, is the rivalry's next generation.
