|appearance = [[Rhythm Tengoku]], <br />[[Rhythm Heaven]],<br /> [[Rhythm Heaven Fever]], <br />[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]}}

'''Karate Joe''' is the third character to appear in the ''[[Rhythm Heaven franchise|Rhythm Heaven ]]''[[Rhythm Heaven franchise|series]] (the first and second being [[Samurai Drummer]] and the [[Barista]]), the first to appear in a rhythm game, and one of the only characters to appear in every game since [[Rhythm Tengoku]].

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 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 Joe appears in many games in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]''. He first appears in [[Karate Man Kicks!|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 a 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]], where he appears again. He gets parts in [[Remix 9 (Wii)|Remix 9]] and gets a sequel minigame in [[Karate Man 2 (Wii)|Karate Man 2]], which is right before the [[Remix 10 (Wii)|final remix]], where he makes his last appearance. This makes it evident that he is the most recurring character in the ''Rhythm Heaven series.''
