Miyagi
Pacific coastal region
Miyagi is a prefecture in northeastern Japan, or a Japanese surname.
In American slang, it refers to a wise mentor figure, from the character Mr.
Miyagi in the 1984 film *The Karate Kid*—an unassuming teacher whose unconventional methods prove effective: She's my Miyagi when it comes to investing.
To miyagi something is to repair or improve it with surprising skill.
