School Mystery: Toire no Hanako-san; with Chiaki Kuriyama, 栗山千明part 4 of 7

This film “Toire no Hanako-san” ie “Phantom of the Bathroom” later renamed “School Mystery” is based upon a legend in Japan that if you go to the third stall in the girls bathroom on the fourth floor of a school and knock three times before asking ‘Are you there, Hanako-san?”, a voice will answer “I’m here”. If you enter the stall you’ll find a small girl in a red skirt, waiting for you. Hanako-san is a popular and widespread urban legend, often played by school children as a rite of courage, or a method of hazing for new students, similar to the Bloody Mary urban legend in Western schools. Now this film is unique in that this is the first film Chiaki Kuriyama was ever in but she had no lines. See if you can spot her. She is in several scenes.
