Films he was in.

He was also part of the "Happy Days' cast.

Good night, Noriyuki.

What an amazing person Pat Morita was. It is sad to know he will no longer be around. According to this obituary at click here, he had quite a rough start in life, contracting spinal TB when only two years old; then spending nine years in a sanatorium until his family and he were sent to an iternment camp during WWII. He had extensive spinal surgery and learned to walk at eleven years old! I would never have known, watching him in the Karate Kid movies and other shows.

"Domo Arigato" Mr. "Miyagi," may you rest well and come back as you wish,
