Kou Shibasaki mini-bio: Born Yamamura Yukie, she was
discovered at 14 by a star agent, and worked in many TV shows and
commercials. Her stage name is taken from the main character of Junko
Kawakami's manga Golden Delicious Apple Sherbet.
She became famous outside Japan for her role in Battle Royale (2000), where
she performed the cold-hearted Mitsuko Souma; her acting career took off
with this movie, and now she is well known in East Asia.
In 2002, she started her singing career with her first single Trust my
Feelings, but her singing skills have been only recognized with her second
single Tsuki no shizuku (used for the movie Yomigaeri), which was one of the
best J-Pop hits of 2003.

Actually, I think it was reported a while ago that Tarantino had offered her the role of Yuki Yubari in "Kill Bill". Yuki was the sister of Gogo and had followed the Bride to America after the House of Blue Leaves showdown (there's a small fragments from the original script that are in the film. The sound of the ice cream truck in "Vol. 1" was a reference to Yuki stealing an ice cream truck and following the Bride. The other is that in "Vol. 2", the Bride reports "My Pussy Wagon died on me." In the script, it was due to Yuki shooting it up when she attacks the Bride). Don't know if the report of her playing Yuki was true or not, but after seeing her in "Battle Royale", I can see her as the second Yubari sister.
