|appearance = [[Rhythm Tengoku]], <br />[[Rhythm Heaven]],<br /> [[Rhythm Heaven Fever]], <br />[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]}}'''Karate Joe''' is the third character to appear in in the ''[[Rhythm Heaven franchise|Rhythm Heaven ]]''[[Rhythm Heaven franchise|series]] (the first and second in the being [[Samurai Drummer]] and the [[Barista]]), the first to appear in a rhythm game, and has appeared in every game since.

Karate Joe is characterized by his pale white skin, big nose and balding head. He wears a black belt karate suit that matches the color of his skin. He wears no shoes. One of the the [[The Dazzles (characters)|Dazzles]] (the one with glasses) appears to find him attractive, as seen in the OK and Superb rating screens of [[Karate Man 2 (DS)|Karate Man 2]].

Karate Joe first appeared in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'' as its first rhythm game, [[Karate Man (GBA)|Karate Man]]. He very soon later appears in the [[Remix 1 (GBA)|first remix]] alongside the four other games in Set 1 other games. Much later, he reappears along with every other game in [[Remix 6]]. He would then appear in [[Karate Man 2 (GBA)|Karate Man 2]] right after that. He then made appearances in the last two remixes, [[Remix 7 (GBA)|Remix 7]] and [[Remix 8 (GBA)|Remix 8]].

Karate Joe appears in many games in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]''. He first appears in [[Karate Man (DS)|Karate Man]], notably being the last non sequel/remix game in the game. Right after that, he reappears in set 6's remix, [[Remix 6 (DS)|Remix 6]]. Many games later, he appears in [[Karate Man 2 (DS)|Karate Man 2]], Karate Man's sequel. He also has parts in the last three remixes, [[Remix 8 (DS)|Remix 8]], [[Remix 9 (DS)|Remix 9]], and [[Remix 10 (DS)|Remix 10]].

In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'', the karate fighter appears in many different games as cameo, however they are usually Easter-eggs. He first appears, as with the other games in the ''Rhythm Heaven'' series, in [[Karate Man (Wii)|Karate Man]]. This rhythm game takes place right before the [[Remix 7 (Wii)|seventh remix]], him appearing again. He gets parts in [[Remix 9 (Wii)|Remix 9]], and gets a sequel minigame in [[Karate Man 2 (Wii)|Karate Man 2]], right before the [[Remix 10 (Wii)|final remix]], him appearing in that as well. This proves that he is the most recurring character in the ''Rhythm Heaven series.''

In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', Karate Joe appears in [[Karate Man (Megamix)|Karate Man]], [[Karate Man Returns!]], [[Karate Man Kicks!]] and [[Karate Man Combos!]], all of which as a playable character. He also Appears in [[Honeybee Remix]], with a bee hat, and [[Right-Hand Remix]], both appearances based on Karate Man Returns!. In [[Karate Man Senior]], he makes a cameo in the try again screen.
