on Turner Classic Movies just a few minutes ago pronounced her name as "ma-SHI-ko KAI-yo" and I know that must be utterly wrong... support anyone? Sweetfreek 06:08, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
Accent on last name
[edit]Should it be properly spelled Kyo, Kyō, or Kyô? The title and text of the article disagree, and other articles spell it Kyô. -Big Smooth 18:29, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
- Using the Hepburn transliteration, Kyō is the correct version. Kyô is sometimes used because people don't know how to use the ō character, and is widely accepted academically. --93.194.209.31 (talk) 07:13, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
What the heck is up with her eyebrows? Does anyone know? They are downright WEIRD. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.23.114.159 (talk) 22:10, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
- Looking at google image search, most pictures of her from roles other than Rashomon show her with more-or-less normal eyebrows, so it was probably a stylistic thing Kurosawa had designed for her character. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.45.27.254 (talk) 04:40, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
The eyebrows plucked and drawn higher up was a fashion thing of the Heian Period amongst aristocratic women. It was thought to enhance the woman's beauty. Bollockster42 (talk) 11:55, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
