Pat Morita (who was born and raised in California) had not planned to use an accent for Arnold. Shortly before filming, director Jerry Paris took him aside and told him the producers wanted the character to speak with an Asian accent. Morita based Arnold's speech patterns on a Chinese cook he knew. When the character was later given a Japanese surname, Morita suggested explaining it by saying that Arnold was the son of a Japanese father and Chinese mother born during the Japanese occupation of Manchuria.
