    Does Miguel find his father Cobra Kai?

    After leaving the All-Valley Tournament at the end of Cobra Kai Season 4 to find his biological father, Miguel finally located him in the first two episodes of Season 5.

    Who is Miguel's dad in season 5?

    In the opening episode, Miguel succeeds in tracking his father down — he's Hector Salazar (Luis Roberto Guzmán), a man his mother claims is a dangerous mobster but who appears to be a loving husband and father to a young son.
