"Rinko Kikuchi"


Rinko Kikuchi (菊地 凛子 Kikuchi Rinko?), born Yuriko Kikuchi (菊地 百合子 Kikuchi Yuriko?), January 6, 1981, is a Japanese actress. Kikuchi is the first Japanese actress to be nominated for an Academy Award in 50 years, for the 2006 movie Babel. She also starred in Guillermo del Toro's science fiction action film Pacific Rim.

Kikuchi debuted in 1999, under her birth name, Yuriko Kikuchi, with the Kaneto Shindo–directed film Ikitai (生きたい?). Soon after, in 2001, she starred in the celebrated Kazuyoshi Komuri–directed film Sora no Ana (空の穴?), which was featured at several international film festivals, including the Rotterdam Film Festival. In 2004, she appeared in the much-commended Katsuhito Ishii–directed film Cha no Aji (茶の味?), which was selected for the Cannes Film Festival.

In 2006, she was cast by Japanese film producer Yoko Narahashi in the Alejandro González Iñárritu film Babel, where she played Chieko Wataya, a deaf-mute teenage girl, in a role for which she received international attention  and was nominated for numerous awards, including the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. She won several, such as the National Board of Review Award for Best Breakthrough Female Performance (tying with Jennifer Hudson) and the Gotham Award for Best Breakthrough. Kikuchi is also the fifth actress in Academy Award history to be nominated for an award for a role in which she does not speak a word. (The others were Jane Wyman, Patty Duke, Holly Hunter, and Samantha Morton.) Kikuchi has appeared in two Mamoru Oshii movies: 2008's The Sky Crawlers and Assault Girls (2009).



She starred in Rian Johnson's second film, 2009's The Brothers Bloom, which was her first fully English-language feature. Though she plays a main character, she only speaks three words in the film; her character is said to only know three words of English.

In March 2011, she was named to the Keanu Reeves–led cast of 47 Ronin, the first English-language adaptation of the Chushingura legend, Japan's most famous tale of samurai loyalty and revenge.

In 2013, Kikuchi starred alongside Charlie Hunnam and Idris Elba in Pacific Rim, directed by Guillermo del Toro. The film in general and Kikuchi's performance in particular were well-received by critics.

Seorang rekan saya memiliki anak berusia 11 tahun yang baru saja dioperasi usus buntu karena diindikasikan memiliki apendisitis (radang usus buntu). Radang usus buntu memang salah satu penyakit yang paling umum, terutama pada kelompok anak-anak dan remaja usia 11-20 tahun. 'Hospital Bed' photo (c) 2009, CJ Sorg - license: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/ Karena radang usus buntu sangat umum, penting bagi kita semua untuk memiliki sedikit pemahaman mengenainya. Saya sendiri sering sekali mendapatkan pertanyaan-pertanyaan seperti: Apakah usus buntu? Mengapa usus buntu meradang? Bagaimana mengetahui saya terkena radang usus buntu? Apakah operasi adalah satu-satunya pilihan pengobatan? Apakah ada alternatif non-operasi? Bagaimana mencegahnya? dll. Untuk itu mari kita bahas pertanyaan tersebut satu per satu. Apakah usus buntu? Usus buntu adalah sebuah organ sebesar jari dengan panjang beberapa sentimeter yang menempel di sekum (bagian pertama dari usus besar),
