Chiaki Kuriyama, at exactly 5ft 3 ¼ (160.7 cm), is a petite Japanese actress, singer, and model whose compact height amplifies her commanding screen presence in action roles.
Her 160.7 cm stature made her unforgettable as the fierce Takako Chigusa in Battle Royale (2000), where her small frame belied her character's deadly agility, and as the sadistic Gogo Yubari in Kill Bill: Volume 1 (2003), enhancing the visual impact of her brutal fights.
In 2010, the 5ft 3 ¼ star released her CD single "Ryusei no Namida" on DefStar Records as CHiAKi KURiYAMA, blending her modeling poise with musical talent.
