Toshiro Mifune auditioned for Mr. Miyagi. Although he was great in the audition (according to director John G. Avildsen in the DVD Commentary), it was felt that his version of Miyagi was "too serious" - and too scary - and played much like the samurai warriors he played in the Akira Kurosawa movies and he was turned down. His English was also quite poor at the time, which would have required him to learn most of his lines phonetically.
