Is he dead?
Posted by SHEGOTGAME (Member # 476) on :
I don't think he is dead, but I don't know for a fact. I did see him on a tv show or something a couple months ago. I think it might of been that Jamie Kennedy show where it's like a candid camera thing, and Mr. Miyagi went to people's houses in a limo and asked people if he could use their bathroom. It was pretty funny, but he was really old.

And how about that Alien Ant Farm video? That was hilarious! He didnt look THAT much older.

I have to agree with koego here. I think Mr. Miyagi is now a very old man but not that much older when he made his Karate Kid movies. Just a minute ago I subtracted the year that he was born up until this new year, and this year he will turn 71. So, no I don't think he's dead.

Are we talking Miyagi the character or Pat Morita??
If Pat, he's most definitely alive and well, popping up here and there. Had a great Directv ad running a few months ago. Still milks his Miyagi persona a lot (a character I'm glad to see milked).
Pat was born on June 28, 1932, so he's only 70. Plenty of good years left I would think. Plenty on Pat at the IMDB: http://us.imdb.com/Name?Morita,+Pat

I know this is a weird question, but how does he talk in real life (accent-wise), cos he was born in america in real life wasn't he? I've never seen him on anything other than karate kid

he actually has an american accent

John, rent a movie called "Savanah Smiles". It's from the 80s, and Pat has a small part in it as a minister. Speaks with his normal American accent.
And I wanna say he spoke normally in "Honeymoon in Vegas", the Nic Cage movie of 1992, but not sure if he did.
