Cobra Kai season 6 contains a very special cameo from Karate Kid legend Mr. Miyagi played by Pat Morita. But seeing as though the actor sadly passed over 20 years ago, fans may be wondering just how the team were able to bring the character back. Well, wonder no more as creators Josh Heald and Jon Hurwitz have explained how they used technology to do just that.
Using the show’s fight choreographer Don Lee as a body double, the creators didn't have to use any special effects when it came to the character's fighting ability. "He’s built similarly to Pat Morita," said Hurwitz in an interview with Variety. "It was Don’s greatest honor to be able to portray one of his greatest heroes."
