Macchio spoke fondly of Morita during the unveiling ceremony.
"To have this star place right next to my acting partner from that film, the great Pat Morita, is so meaningful to me, so powerful to me. Our partnership is something I always described as a soulful magic of the Karate Kid film and he's still here today, blessing all these stories that are moving forward. I can feel him here and, well, frankly folks it's only fitting I shall be...remain Miyagi adjacent until the end of time."
