wanted him to run behind his dream. 521 00:31:03,234 --> 00:31:05,400 So I told him to go. 522 00:31:05,534 --> 00:31:11,300 He said he would take care of the family. 523 00:31:15,434 --> 00:31:18,868

542 00:32:17,367 --> 00:32:21,434 Fumio Demura happened to be extremely proficient 543 00:32:21,534 --> 00:32:25,200 with techniques with and without weapons. 544 00:32:25,267 --> 00:32:26,734 And that was interesting, 545 00:32:26,801 --> 00:32:28,701 because there were always guys which were very good, 546 00:32:28,767 --> 00:32:30,868 some with weapons and others without weapons, 547 00:32:31,067 --> 00:32:33,100 but he was good in both situations. 548 00:32:33,167 --> 00:32:34,834 That's why Black Belt stuck to it. 549 00:32:34,901 --> 00:32:35,968 BLACK BELT VIDEO MAGAZINE 550

time. 916 00:48:00,767 --> 00:48:02,701 And I think Ralph was in the ER, 917 00:48:02,767 --> 00:48:04,167 I don't know. 918 00:48:04,234 --> 00:48:06,267 I don't know who approached him, but they

00:48:18,167 --> 00:48:20,167 "It's a little film, you know, 926 00:48:20,234 --> 00:48:22,000 and would sell more tickets if the public 927 00:48:22,100 --> 00:48:25,567 thought you did the your own

want Sensei to have all the credit." 931 00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:34,400 Master Demura is so experienced that 932 00:48:34,467 --> 00:48:36,501 It made everything seem very true. 933 00:48:36,567 --> 00:48:38,400 And, once again, no one was hurt. 934 00:48:38,501 --> 00:48:41,300 Pat Morita was coming 935 00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:43,734 from a very, very humble beginning. 936 00:48:43,801 --> 00:48:46,934 He was in one of those camps concentration during 937 00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:49,367 Second World War 938 00:48:49,434 --> 00:48:52,567 where they put all the Japanese. 939 00:48:52,634 --> 00:48:56,667 I believe it was between the ages of eight up to 13. 940 00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:59,767 And that's another part of the story, 941 00:48:59,834 --> 00:49:04,634 the reason that Sensei and Mr. Pat Morita are so close. 942 00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:08,267 When Mr. Morita speaks about this event, 943 00:49:08,334 --> 00:49:11,234 tears come to his eyes. 944 00:49:11,300 --> 00:49:13,801

bulb turned on. 948 00:49:25,634 --> 00:49:28,033 It was like, "This is it, 949 00:49:28,100 --> 00:49:29,434 This is the chosen one." 950 00:49:29,501 --> 00:49:32,934 As if it were, "it's from this one who I've been looking, 951 00:49:33,033 --> 00:49:37,501 This is the man I I want to emulate it on screen." 952 00:49:38,434 --> 00:49:41,267 Put the wax on, right hand. 953 00:49:41,334 --> 00:49:44,167 Remove the wax, left hand. 954 00:49:44,234 --> 00:49:46,834 Put the wax on, remove the wax. 955 00:49:46,901 --> 00:49:48,501 You have to remember that Pat Morita 956 00:49:48,567 --> 00:49:52,501 had been a comedian in Las Vegas. 957 00:49:52,567 --> 00:49:53,701 PAT MORITA "THE HIP NIP" 958 00:49:53,767 --> 00:49:54,868 And it was called the Hip Nip, 959 00:49:54,934 -->

LONG DEMURA STUDENT 969 00:50:16,634 --> 00:50:18,501 The funniest thing is who didn't speak Japanese, 970 00:50:18,567 --> 00:50:21,267 so when we saw him In the film, we saw it all, 971 00:50:21,367 --> 00:50:23,801 but he doesn't have any accent. 972 00:50:23,868 --> 00:50:27,868 Thank you Demura Sensei, 973 00:50:27,934 --> 00:50:32,067 For teaching me during 25 years, for me to talk like that. 974 00:50:35,234 --> 00:50:38,067 Hi, I made my living this way, guys. 975 00:50:41,067 --> 00:50:44,467 We organize a celebration for the 25th birthday 976 00:50:44,667 --> 00:50:46,434 and Pat Morita was one of the first 977 00:50:46,501 --> 00:50:48,734 saying he was going to be there. 978 00:50:48,801 --> 00:50:51,300 Now, later in my career, I was very lucky 979 00:50:51,367 --> 00:50:54,033 for getting the role of Miyagi 980 00:50:54,100 --> 00:50:57,634 in Karat one, two and three 981 00:50:57,701 --> 00:51:00,534 and, with luck, nine, 17 and 28. 982 00:51:04,634 --> 00:51:06,501 They had a good friendship for years. 983 00:51:06,567 --> 00:51:08,367 LAURO CHARTRAND DOUBLE DIRECTOR / CHOREOGRAPHER 984 00:51:08,434 --> 00:51:10,300 And you could see that the respect that Pat Morita 985 00:51:10,367 --> 00:51:12,467 had by Sensei was so extreme, 986 00:51:12,534 --> 00:51:15,133 I think he idolized him in many ways, 987 00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:17,334 And I think, part of Mr. Morita wanted 988 00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:18,868 be more like Sensei. 989 00:51:18,968 --> 00:51:22,667 The interaction between Pat Morita and Fumio Demura Sensei 990 00:51:22,734 --> 00:51:25,167 was his younger brother with an older brother. 991 00:51:25,234 --> 00:51:29,067 Because even though Pat was representing Miyagi Sensei, 992 00:51:29,300 --> 00:51:33,400 he knew who the real one was, It was Demura Sensei. 993 00:51:33,467 --> 00:51:36,734 And Demura Sensei treated him like a younger brother 994 00:51:36,801 --> 00:51:38,300 with so much affection. 995 00:51:38,367 --> 00:51:41,834 This relationship, this revelation, to better say, 996 00:51:41,901 --> 00:51:45,667 added years to Pat Morita's life 997 00:51:45,734 --> 00:51:49,968 and I think Sensei gave him that kind of inspiration. 998 00:51:50,033 --> 00:51:52,434 It just made me feel younger 999 00:51:52,501 --> 00:51:56,534 with your influence, with its stability 1000 00:51:56,634 --> 00:52:00,067 with your rock spirit, 1001 00:52:00,133 --> 00:52:03,567 your compassion for your neighbor. 1002 00:52:03,701 --> 00:52:08,300 Inadvertently, he actually brought many qualities 1003 00:52:08,367 --> 00:52:12,167 to my work, which I I was lucky enough to demonstrate. 1004 00:52:12,234 --> 00:52:15,501 Sensei Demura had a lot of respect 1005 00:52:15,567 --> 00:52:17,601 for what Pat Morita had achieved 1006 00:52:17,667 --> 00:52:20,501 as Japanese American. 1007 00:52:20,567 --> 00:52:24,667 Have gone up and arrived Where have you come as an actor? 1008 00:52:24,734 --> 00:52:28,234 in your effort to try search for material 1009 00:52:28,300 --> 00:52:32,367 find the character ideal for Mr. Miyagi, 1010 00:52:32,467 --> 00:52:35,634 Focus, look into my eyes. 1011 00:52:35,934 --> 00:52:39,567 No one, least of all Pat, 1012 00:52:39,634 --> 00:52:43,601 expected to be appointed in this role. 1013 00:52:43,667 --> 00:52:46,968 People forget that Pat Morita was nominated 1014 00:52:47,033 --> 00:52:50,367 for an Oscar, because 'Karate Kid' doesn't sound 1015 00:52:50,434 --> 00:52:53,267 as well as a film caliber for a �scar. 1016 00:52:53,334 --> 00:52:55,067 He said, "That's a white thing." 1017 00:52:55,133 --> 00:52:58,467 "Asians don't get paid that kind of praise." 1018 00:52:58,534 --> 00:53:01,200 It was a pleasure meeting this man. 1019 00:53:01,267 --> 00:53:04,300 I feel like I've known him my whole life. 1020 00:53:04,701 --> 00:53:07,801 I would say that, at the very least, 1021 00:53:07,901 --> 00:53:10,667 He gave his presence to my being. 1022 00:53:10,734 --> 00:53:14,067 This admiration he had for Sensei 1023 00:53:14,133 --> 00:53:15,868 and the admiration that Sensei had for him, 1024 00:53:15,934 --> 00:53:18,200 knowing what Pat had been through, 1025 00:53:18,267 --> 00:53:21,567 It was so mutual they were 1026 00:53:21,634 --> 00:53:23,601 even as brothers. 1027 00:53:23,667 --> 00:53:26,901 Pat Morita had great respect 1028 00:53:26,968 --> 00:53:29,534 and admiration for Master Demura. 1029 00:53:29,701 --> 00:53:32,534 They went together like butter peanut and jelly, 1030 00:53:32,601 --> 00:53:34,801 I think they became good friends. 1031 00:53:34,868 --> 00:53:37,033 One day I will teach this man 1032 00:53:37,100 --> 00:53:40,601 how to catch flies with chopsticks. 1033 00:53:40,667 --> 00:53:44,501 And then I know that it contributes anything for your life, 1034 00:53:44,601 --> 00:53:45,767 do you understand? 1035 00:53:45,834 --> 00:53:50,267 Pat always asked the Sensei to be your double, 1036 00:53:50,567 --> 00:53:51,834 in everything he did, 1037 00:53:51,901 --> 00:53:53,934 It's not just in the Karate Kid movies. 1038 00:53:54,033 --> 00:53:56,801 I was recording 'Ohara' 1039 00:53:56,868 --> 00:53:58,601 My job was to run to the villain, 1040 00:53:58,667 --> 00:53:59,734 JANUARY 1987 1041 00:54:00,701 --> 00:54:03,467 he went up and jumped the fence 1042 00:54:03,534 --> 00:54:05,934 and then went to the first floor, 1043 00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:08,300 So, I rehearsed it and it went well. 1044 00:54:08,367 --> 00:54:10,734 When I tried to do the scene again 1045 00:54:10,801 --> 00:54:12,934 I got a little dizzy. 1046 00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,567 One of the technicians lighting was watching me 1047 00:54:15,634 --> 00:54:17,467 and said, "Are you okay?" 1048 00:54:17,567 --> 00:54:21,534 And I said, "Yes, I think I'm getting a cold." 1049 00:54:21,601 --> 00:54:25,067 "No," he said, "is having a heart attack." 1050 00:54:25,133 --> 00:54:28,567 I said, "Me, no way." 1051 00:54:28,634 --> 00:54:31,701 And I said, "No, I think No, don't worry," 1052 00:54:31,767 --> 00:54:36,334 He ignored me and went to talk with the director and producer, 1053 00:54:36,801 --> 00:54:41,467 They came in and said, "It's better to go to the hospital. 1054 00:54:41,534 --> 00:54:43,567 "I already have the car and everything there." 1055 00:54:43,634 --> 00:54:45,067 I said, "I'm fine." 1056 00:54:45,133 --> 00:54:48,367 "No, no, no, I'm the one I command, don't worry. 1057 00:54:48,434 --> 00:54:49,400 "Go." 1058 00:54:49,467 --> 00:54:52,000 So I went to the hospital. 1059 00:54:52,067 --> 00:54:53,601 The doctor said, "Don't move." 1060 00:54:53,701 --> 00:54:55,300 I was, I'm not kidding, 1061 00:54:55,367 --> 00:54:57,501 having a blackout, everything is dark. 1062 00:54:59,167 --> 00:55:01,267 "He had a heart attack." 1063 00:55:06,934 --> 00:55:08,801 We all get there with age 1064 00:55:08,868 --> 00:55:12,634 and we all need to slow down, and relieve some stress. 1065 00:55:12,901 --> 00:55:17,601 We all tell you that, but he has a lot to do, 1066 00:55:18,701 --> 00:55:21,567 But he chose to continue, 1067 00:55:21,634 --> 00:55:23,601 and the past caught up with him 1068 00:55:23,667 --> 00:55:26,367 He said, "My undoing is pizza," 1069 00:55:26,434 --> 00:55:27,634 because he loves pizza. 1070 00:55:27,701 --> 00:55:28,934 A pizza. 1071 00:55:29,033 --> 00:55:31,000 Not a slice of pizza, a pizza. 1072 00:55:31,067 --> 00:55:32,133 Yes. 1073 00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:34,901 When he came here, a pizza buffet was news. 1074 00:55:34,968 --> 00:55:36,467 DAVID JONES DEMURA STUDENT 1075 00:55:36,534 --> 00:55:39,734 In fact, one of his nicknames was Boca de Lixo, 1076 00:55:39,868 --> 00:55:43,133 because he took half a pizza 1077 00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:46,701 and folded them in half and I ate them like a sandwich. 1078 00:55:46,767 --> 00:55:50,934 My last life ended there. 1079 00:55:51,067 --> 00:55:53,801 And then, I came back from the hospital, 1080 00:55:53,868 --> 00:55:55,934 and I found a new life. 1081 00:56:10,767 --> 00:56:14,167 Every day I get up At five in the morning 1082 00:56:14,234 --> 00:56:16,467 and I come here to fish. 1083 00:56:16,534 --> 00:56:18,601 At eight o'clock I return to home, take a shower, 1084 00:56:18,667 --> 00:56:20,300 and I go to the dojo. 1085 00:56:22,033 --> 00:56:24,100 All human beings need, 1086 00:56:24,167 --> 00:56:26,334 as they say, yin and yang, 1087 00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:28,367 It's what we lack, so I use it 1088 00:56:28,434 --> 00:56:33,033 to the yin, the calm part, 1089 00:56:33,100 --> 00:56:37,100 and the dojo is the yang, which is the action part. 1090 00:56:37,267 --> 00:56:39,701 This is how I balance myself. 1091 00:56:50,534 --> 00:56:52,167 Well, this is a game 1092 00:56:52,234 --> 00:56:54,501 between me and the fish, 1093 00:56:54,567 --> 00:56:58,133 and right now the fish are winning. 1094

going fishing? 1098 00:57:06,033 --> 00:57:07,767 He wasn't here when I went. 1099 00:57:08,100 --> 00:57:09,434 But I might want to go, 1100 00:57:09,567 --> 00:57:10,934 Have you thought about that? 1101 00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:12,267 You were training karate. 1102 00:57:12,634 --> 00:57:14,267 I called him, and said, 1103 00:57:14,467 --> 00:57:16,300 "It's my party, can you come?" 1104 00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:18,501 He said, "OK, I'll be there." 1105 00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:21,667 So I said, "Okay, I'll tag you 1106 00:57:21,734 --> 00:57:23,334 the trips and everything.” 1107 00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:24,601 Said, "No, don't worry. 1108 00:57:24,667 --> 00:57:26,067 "I'll be there." 1109 00:57:26,133 --> 00:57:28,634 So I made him something special, 1110 00:57:28,701 -->

I felt that if someone deserved the gift 1126 00:58:40,467 --> 00:58:43,734 It was Sensei, not Pat. 1127 00:58:43,801 --> 00:58:47,100 Went to all the tables greet people 1128 00:58:47,167 -->

00:59:10,367 --> 00:59:14,567 Then he went to Chile and saw the news. 1137 00:59:14,634 --> 00:59:17,501 I saw your photo, but I don't know Spanish, 1138 00:59:17,868 --> 00:59:20,033 and said, "What
