Pat Morita was a gifted actor. The first role I recall him in was "Farewell to Manzanar", about the WWII internment camps (Morita himself was forced to live in a camp as a youth during the war).
I may be the only person posting here who never saw any of the Karate Kid movies. I did however see Morita in a bunch of other projects (film and TV), and thought highly of him. One movie that I strongly recommend, which Morita co-wrote, is "Captive Hearts".
Sad to see him go...
RIP Pat Morita...
