Tamami Chiba Biography – Tamami Chiba Wiki
Tamami Chiba is a Japanese national and the ex-wife of the late Kill Bill actor Sonny Chiba. Sonny was a Japanese actor and martial artist. He was one of the first actors to achieve stardom through his skills in martial arts, initially in Japan and later before an international audience. His final appearance as Jyubei on television was Iemitsu to Hikoza to Ishintasuke TV movies that aired in 1989. Another notable Japanese television role is Hattori Hanzō in Shadow Warriors.
Sonny was even busier in the 1980s, doing dozens of movies as well as making forays into television, and with roles in such high-profile adventures as the popular Hong Kong comic-based movie: The Storm Riders (1998), starring alongside Ekin Cheng and Aaron Kwok. His fame in Japan remained unabated into the 1990s.
In his fifties, the actor resumed working as a choreographer of martial arts sequences. At the dawn of the 21st century, Chiba was as busy as ever in feature films and also starring in his own series in Japan. Roles in Takashi Miike’s Deadly Outlaw: Rekka and his work with directors Kenta and Kinji Fukasaku in Battle Royale II effectively bridged the gap between modern-day and yesteryear cinematic cult legends. Chiba’s enduring onscreen career received a tribute when he appeared in a key role as Hattori Hanzo, the owner of a sushi restaurant and retired samurai sword craftsman, in director Quentin Tarantino’s bloody revenge epic Kill Bill in 2003.
