sad to see him goes... peace.
Pat Morita also taught Daniel-San how to catch flies with chopsticks... "focus" was the idea he was trying to express. I remember he lost the Academy Award for the Best Suporting Actor to H. Ngor who appeared in the Killing Fileds, but won many others including some in Karate Kid.
One more thing to remember that long before Pat Morita's success in Hollywood, he was the son of immigration fruit pickers in the farm fields of California. He and his family were forced into the World-War II Internment Camp in California when he was 2 years old.......
