Biography

Karate Kid

John Kreese was a male human who was born in the modern age on Earth.

In his youth, it was shown that he was bullied by others whilst working at a diner.

He and Silver were noted to had trained under Kim San Jang of South Korea.

It was claimed that Kreese had later died of cardiac arrest with Terry Silver stating that he arrived back too late to help his friend.

Cobra Kai

He later went to the landlord that owned the Cobra Kai Dojo land where he spoke to the man. Kreese saw that the man hated Johnny Lawrence and that the entire basis of the ownership of the building was done by a handshake deal. John managed to convince the man to transfer ownership of the dojo to himself. At this time, the students of the dojo were angry as one of their own namely Miguel Torres was in the hospital after showing Robby Lawrence mercy who then knocked the Cobra Kai student over the stairs that caused his back to be broken in the process. Thus, Kreese managed to highlight that his approach of 'no mercy' was the correct one with them rallying under him. In the night, Johnny Lawrence arrived at his dojo but found it to be active. After seeing Kreese's return, he attempted to force his former sensei out of the dojo but the Cobra Kai students rallied under him and agreed with his approach. In anger, Sensei Lawrence decided to leave and that Kreese could keep the dojo as well as its students.

Three weeks later, he conducted a purge of the dojo's ranks where he removed any person that showed any traits such as empathy. He stated that this was to strength Cobra Kai's core and to allow only the strongest to remain. It was then that he intended to seek out further students for Cobra Kai. He was also on the lookout for a new champion to replace the fallen Miguel after his injury. Kreese also decided to make efforts in bringing back Tori Nichols to the dojo who could not return to her training due to struggling to pay rent for her place. This was until John Kreese intervened in the matter and came to an arrangement with the landlord thus ensuring Nichols could stay at Cobra Kai.
