What makes kyokushin so different from other karates? I just wanted to know.

OSU!

I have background in shotokan karate and kyokushin kumite would be the difference between the two. The obvious difference would be point sparring vs. full contact. Instead of lightly tapping your opponent to score a point, you can score points with knock downs.

- Endurance

- Strength

- Power

Ichi geki, Hissatsu or "One strike, certain death".

Instead of stopping the fight after your opponent lightly taps you on the chest to score the point, you can instead move through that kick (if you are strong enough) and initiate your own combo on him.

I would say that kyokushin is closer to Muy Thai in conditioning and shotokan in basics with more emphasis on the former than the latter.

I hope that this is helpful and when in doubt, visit your nearest dojo and talk to the instructor

Ichi Geki, Hissatsu

one strike, certain death

A bit off of the subject but from the link provided by Cross, I believe it was, their BB conference was in Banf AB Canada. One heck of a nice place. Very beautiful area, very calming. Excellent choice!!! Excellent!! :)
