Storyline

Gogo Yubari is a sadistic 17-year old girl who is lethally skilled with a Chinese martial arts weapon, similar to a Meteor hammer (and referred to in the action figure release as a morning star). She is O-Ren Ishii's chief bodyguard and assassin. A violent sociopath, she kills for fun and derives great pleasure in inflicting pain; it was said that what Yubari "lacks in age, she makes up for in craziness." A cut-away shows Yubari drinking at a bar and being sexually propositioned by an unattractive man. When Gogo asks said man if he wants to screw her, he responds in the affirmative, and Gogo stabs him with a concealed Tantō, proudly proclaiming, "How 'bout now, big boy? Do you still wish to penetrate me? Or is it I...who has penetrated you?" Blood begins to gush from the wound as the cut-away ends with Kiddo saying, "See what I mean?"

When Beatrix Kiddo enters the House of Blue Leaves to exact her revenge on Ishii, loyal Yubari is the seventh bodyguard to take her on.

A tense battle ensues, with Yubari having the upper hand throughout much of the fight. Just as she manages to wrap the chain of her weapon around Kiddo's neck, however, Kiddo grabs a smashed chair leg with a nail protruding from it and drives it into Yubari's foot. With a howl of pain, Yubari releases her grip on the chain around Kiddo's neck. Kiddo then drives the chair leg into Yubari's head, killing her instantly.

Trivia

• In the original script, Yubari had a sister called Yuki, who was to go on her own rampage of revenge to avenge her sister's death and ambush Kiddo after she killed Vernita Green. Due to running time, however, the character was cut. Gogo Yubari then inherited some of Yuki's lines, as in the original script she had no dialogue at all. Many of Yuki Yubari's actions were a mimic/allusions to the Battle Royale characters actions i.e: Yuki shining a flashlight below her face in a sinister manner ala Mitsuko Souma.
• Supposedly, writer/director Quentin Tarantino wanted actresses Kou Shibasaki and Chiaki Kuriyama to play the Yubari sisters, after he saw their performances in Battle Royale. However, Shibasaki had to refuse the role due to work commitments, so Kuriyama got the role and the character of Yuki was instead dropped.
• Tarantino has stated that he intends to make a third Kill Bill movie. If so, it is likely that the character of Yuki Yubari will be included, since Tarantino also mentioned that Beatrix Kiddo would be the target of revenge should a third film be made. The original script for Kill Bill (before the volume cut) includes a chapter featuring Yuki seeking revenge on Kiddo, stalking her with an ice cream truck (the sound effect can still be heard in the shot outside Vernita Green's house, where Yuki had followed her).
• Gogo Yubari was named after a small town, Yubari, Hokkaido, where Quentin Tarantino received an award for Reservoir Dogs at the Yubari International Fantastic Film Festival in 1993.
