~ Beatrix Kiddo describing Oren's traumatic past at the hands of Matsumoto and Pretty Riki. |
Pretty Riki is a minor antagonist in Kill Bill: Volume 1, the first installment in Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill film series.
He is an associate of Yazuka Boss Matsumoto, participating in the murder of Mr. Ishii and Mrs. Ishii, an act that was witnessed by their daughter O-Ren Ishii and would later lead to her murdering Matsumoto and becoming a ruthless assassin in adulthood.
He was voiced by Hikaru Midorikawa.
Personality[]
While very little is seen of Pretty Riki, he is shown to be not only a highly effective assassin but also takes great sadistic glee in what he does, smiling and laughing when he murders Mr. Ishii and setting the room on fire to cover up what had just been done.
Biography[]
Not much is known about who Pretty Riki was, but at some point he became affaliated with Yazuka Boss Matsumoto and worked as an assassin for him. At some point Matsumoto began targetted Mr. Ishii and Ms. Ishii, sending his men to kill them. While Mr. Ishii put up a fight and killed two Yazuka's, he is taken off-guard by Pretty Riki and stabbed in the chest. After Matsumoto then kills Ms. Ishii as well, Pretty Rikki shoots a vodka bottle on a desk, causing alcohol to splash around the scene of the murder. He then uses Matsumoto's dropped cigar to ignite the spilled alcohol and set the room ablaze to destroy the building and leave no trace of what crime they just committed.
Trivia[]
- There was originally supposed to be a scene in which O-Ren got revenge of Pretty Riki alongside Matsumoto, but this was not included in the final film. This lack of resolution on Pretty Riki's character led to a fan theory that Pretty Riki is actually a young Bill, although director Quentin Tarantino has confirmed this not the case.
