It's a sad day for the Asian community. Pat Morita died at the age of 73 Thursday night of natural causes. It would have been more fitting if he had died while taking on 15 ninjas with a butterknife, but nonetheless, his death is a painful blow. As a young kid, Mr. Morita was moved to an internment camp during World War II due to his Japanese descent. He never held a grudge against the U.S. but instead decided to train an awkward young Italian lad who's greatest accomplishment was becoming a supporting actor in a cheesy Joe Pesci comedy. He then went on to ninjafy a future gender-confused academy award winner, thus showing his acceptance for all walks of life. Mr. Morita showed us that painting a fence can indeed be a way to kick ass, as well as waxing a car. These typical household chores paled in comparison to his fly catching techniques that have inspired millions to wage war against the insect populations with chop sticks and grunts. Despite the hardships that this legendary man overcame such as training a geek named Ralph, and even inprisonment in a Japanese internment camp, no challenge was greater than taking on the infamous Cobra Kai. This rag tag crew of misfit hooligans struck fear into the hearts of adolescent boys and the elderly. Their "cobra Kai Never Die" mentality made them formidable opponents. Mr. Morita showed no fear in the face of this hostile gang, and promptly ninjafied their ***es using only a gutless little wimp and broken english. Mr. Morita, you are an inspiration to all of us Asians and a true legend.

oh man, i remember seeing a special on Espn where Brett Favre met him and then was talking to his teammates saying he met the wax on wax off guy. 
Oh man, at least he lived a long life. My favorite is when he'd break charachter and play a *** waiter.
Mr. Miagi reminds me how I cant even use chopsticks... I'm a disgrace to all Asians as far as eating goes. That dude caught flies with them. A legend.
