U.S. military (from Wikipedia)
There are 32 U.S. military bases [|[17]] located on Okinawa Island. In total, these bases occupy approximately 20% of the island's area. The bases primarily exist to serve Japanese and U.S. strategic interests, but are unpopular with most local residents [|[19]] despite recent efforts to move the bases out of core areas following incidents involving military personnel and resultant protests. Okinawa was also the setting for the 1986 film //[|The Karate Kid, Part II] //, in which Mr. Miyagi ( [|Pat Morita] ) returns home to Okinawa with his student Daniel LaRusso ( [|Ralph Macchio] ). Although Okinawa was the setting for the film, only short scenes of the film were actually filmed in Okinawa. In the first // Karate Kid // movie, Mr. Miyagi refers to Okinawa and its origins of being a [|separate country] from Japan.
