Kashii's maternal grandfather is a European-American newspaper reporter, and thus her ethnic background is ¼ European. Kashii spent her childhood in Singapore[2] and attended elementary school there.[3] She has been said to have exactly the same dimensions for her right and left side of the face which led to a German doctor wanting to use her face as a specimen for research uses.[4]
