Chiaki began as a child fashion model and moved on to acting in genre direct-to-video projects and tv series, breaking out as the ghostly Sayori in Shikoku: Land of the Dead.
American audiences were introduced to her as GoGo Yubari, the "psycho in a schoolgirl outfit" in Kill Bill: Vol 1.
Interestingly, almost all her over three dozen appearances have been in genre projects!
