LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Actor Pat Morita, whose portrayal of the wise and dry-witted Mr. Miyagi in "The Karate Kid" earned him an Oscar nomination, has died. He was 73.

Morita died Thursday at his home in Las Vegas of natural causes, said his wife of 12 years, Evelyn. She said in a statement that her husband, who first rose to fame with a role on "Happy Days," had "dedicated his entire life to acting and comedy."

The Grim Reaper said: "Somebody get a body bag!"

The grim reaper clearly belongs to the Cobra Kai dojo

i think what really happened is mr. miagi claimed to be the best martial artist ever. shortly after that chuck norris roundhouse kicked mr. miagi in the face, killing him instantly.

Beatrix Kiddo took his bitch ass down.

I loved him best as the owner of Arnold's in Happy Days. He was so out of place.. it was great.
