He was cool as Kato on the short-lived Green Hornet TV show, and without that character there would have been no Kato battling with Inspector Clouseau in the classic Pink Panther movies. I loved all those scenes.
I also enjoyed the portrayal of him in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
I imagine his family did not.
