The scene where Kumiko greets Daniel and Mr. Miyagi and the scene where Kumiko picks up Daniel for the 50's dance

In the scene where Kumiko opens the door to greet Daniel and Mr. Miyagi and in the scene where she picks up Daniel for the 50's dance, her kimono is folded the wrong way. A kimono's right side is always folded underneath the left side.

I don’t think authenticity is a huge concern for the filmmakers. They filmed ‘Okinawa’ in Hawaii, and the actor playing the villain was Hawaiian, plus most of the karate moves and techniques are bullshit. Notice also how everyone in ‘Okinawa’ speaks to each other in broken, stilted English.

Kumiko’s kimono is the least of the film’s credibility problems.
