Pat Morita's Mr. Miyagi served as the old and wise mentor figure in Daniel's life, but exactly how old was he in the Karate Kid movies?
In The Karate Kid films, Pat Morita portrayed the iconic character of Mr. Miyagi, a wise and dry-witted mentor to both Daniel LaRusso and Julie Pierce. Mr. Miyagi was born on June 9, 1925, in Tomi Village Okinawa, Japan, where he learned the trade of fisherman and the art of karate from his father. Miyagi eventually immigrated to Hawaii, working as a farm laborer in the Hawiaiin cane fields, where he met his wife.

This devastating loss deeply affected him, and upon his return from war, he struggled to fully recover.

The last time Pat Morita played Mr. Miyagi was in The Next Karate Kid set in 1994, which means the character was 69 years old when he trained Julie Pierce.
Mr. Miyagi Was 86-Years-Old When He Died Mr. Miyagi died November 15, 2011, as depicted by his gravestone in Cobra Kai, meaning that he was 86 years old at the time of his passing. Cobra Kai began in 2018, where the continuation of the "Miyagi-verse" splits the focus between Daniel and Johnny. Johnny makes the decision to reopen Cobra Kai, 34 years after being defeated by Daniel LaRusso in the 1984 All-Valley Karate Tournament. The show puts Johnny and Daniel in the shoes of Mr.
The show Cobra Kai effectively carries forward Mr.Miyagi's wisdom into a new generation. His wisdom served as a unifying force, enabling Daniel and Johnny to finally mend their strained relationship.
