?Mr. White?

Rating: Null/10 (6 May 2004)

First of all, I'm a die hard Tarantino fan. Loved every film he's touched so far. And Kill Bill 1&2 are no exceptions. Loved it from the opening quote, to the.... climactic fight at the end. But watching, Kill Bill Volume One,a second time, I'm left with a nagging question. Who is the Japanese swordmen who kills O-Rens father? It's not the Yakuza boss. This character fails to meet any kind of revenge or follow-up, but appears to be the most important character in the room. Is the focus on him just a strange stylized thing? Is he a character later on in the film? Or, did I just miss something? I've seen Vol. 2, but it failed to explain this. I think there has got to be something behind this? Any ideas?
