[edit] Fair use and reason why this cannot be replaced by free media

The subject of the photo is Pat Morita, a former Hollywood personality. He passed away in 2005. Due to his death it is practically impossible to obtain any type of free media on the subject so a promotional still from the film Karate Kid is being used to show his likeness.

The image illustrates the text and the subject for which it appears. It describe the person which was being promoted
It is a lower-resolution image of the original which was first printed in a magazine/game program in a larger format
Using this image does not limit the copyright holders in anyway.
The image has been posted to the web so its use on Wikipedia does not make it anymore accessible than before.
The image is being used for informative purposes only.
No free images of this person currently exist because they are deceased.
