It's hard to say for what role Pat Morita will best be remembered. Some will say it's his role as the Karate Kid's mentor (for which he was nominated for an Oscar), but I think he'll be be equally remembered as the original owner of Arnold's Restaurant on Happy Days. He was in a ton of other things too, including The Odd Couple, Green Acres, and the movies Honeymoon in Vegas and Thouroughly Modern Millie.
Morita died on Thanksgiving in Los Angeles. No cause of death was given except natural causes.
