Raymond Porter, better known by his nickname Stingray, is a recurring character in Season 2, Season 4 and Season 5 of Cobra Kai. He is also a mentioned character in Season 3.
Raymond is a man who took interest in martial arts and expressing his desire to be part of the Cobra Kai Dojo to fulfill his childhood dream to escape the responsibilities of adulthood. However, his time in the dojo would land him in legal trouble following the Fight at West Valley High School, resulting in his arrest and probation. After serving his probation, John Kreese bans him from returning to the dojo.
In an attempt to appeal for reinstatement in the dojo, Raymond is beaten to near-death by Terry Silver, who offers him a spot in Cobra Kai under the condition of naming Kreese as his assailant, resulting in Kreese's arrest and Silver usurping the dojo from him.
Weeks later, he is persuaded by Bert, Miguel, Sam, Eli, and Demetri in making things right by exposing Silver as the fraud that he is. Realizing his mistake, Raymond redeems himself by giving Daniel, Amanda LaRusso and Carmen Diaz a ride to the Cobra Kai Dojo in Encino, beating some Cobra Kai students standing in their way and admitting the truth about his near-fatal assault to the authorities, allowing Silver to be taken to prison.
