What is a fanlisting?

A fanlisting is exactly what it sounds like: fans gathered together in a single list to show their love for a particular subject. A website is not required to join; the only information needed is a name and a country though many fanlistings also require a valid email address.

GoGo Yubari

Despite being at the tender age of 17, GoGo (played by Chiaki Kuriyama) has the great distinction of being the personal bodyguard for a former member of one of the world's deadliest assassination groups, O-Ren Ishii. Her seemingly innocent appearance as a Japanese schoolgirl should not deter from the fact that she is a dangerous psychopath who revels in inflicting pain upon others: "she may be young, but what she lacks in age, she makes up for in madness." GoGo's primary weapon, the GoGo ball, bears resemblance to the Meteor Hammer; however, the weapon is one of a kind, created for GoGo by the Kill Bill director, Quentin Tarantino.

The Yubari sisters

Initially, GoGo had a sister named Yuki, and in fact, had the original script been filmed, Yuki would have been the one speaking GoGo's lines. However, GoGo still remained in the impressive fight scene with the Bride. Following her demise, Yuki would have set out on her own quest to avenge her sister's death by following the Bride around in an ice cream truck. The ice cream truck can still be heard near the beginning of the film, in the shot outside Vernita's house. Who would have played Yuki? Apparently, Quentin Tarantino had intended for Kou Shibasaki, Chiaki's fellow Battle Royale castmate, to take on the role. Due to time restrictions and Kou's work schedule, the character of Yuki was dropped.
