History

[edit]

Personal life

[edit]

She married actor Joe Odagiri, who is exactly 11 years her senior, on February 16, 2008, the birthday the couple share.[1] She gave birth to two sons in both February 2011 and April 2014. The youngest son died a year later due to an intestinal obstruction.

Kashii's maternal grandfather is a European-American newspaper reporter, and thus her ethnic background is ¼ European. Kashii spent her childhood in Singapore[2] and attended elementary school there.[3] She has been said to have exactly the same dimensions for her right and left side of the face which led to a German doctor wanting to use her face as a specimen for research uses.[4]

Biography

[edit]

Kashii got her start in the entertainment business as an in-house model for the Japanese teen magazine mc Sister in 2001. Her first acting role was in the movie adaptation of Lorelei: The Witch of the Pacific Ocean in which she played the title character.
