The dude in the white suit with the sword and the .45. I was told that's a younger Bill. Is that true? He was my favorite character, because he was an all around bad ass and used a gun.
I had always assumed that it was Bill, given his taste in clothing, use of both swords and guns, physical build, and relative age compared to David Carradine. Could be a coincidence, but in a movie with so many in-jokes and interesting little details, I seriously doubt that.
Then again, if I remember correctly, the voice actor for that character is not David Carradine. It's Hikaru Midorikawa (Gundam Wing, Slayers, etc.). If they didn't mind letting Lucy Liu and Uma Thurman speak Japanese in the film, why would they choose a different voice actor for Young Bill?

I always thought David Carradine WAS Bill?
What I meant was that I always figured that the guy in the white suit with the sword was Bill because he had the same physical build as David Carradine and he looked to be roughly the same age that David Carradine would've been twenty or so years ago. And in addition to that, they both use swords, wear rings, and dress similarly. And if I remember correctly, there was even a similar shot of the anime character's hand on his sword just like there was of Bill in his scenes in Volume I.
I'm not sure about the character's name in the credits though, because I don't remember seeing it in the credits and the only place I've found it so far is the IMDB.

The fact that Bill was apparently a student of the movie's Hattori Hanzo also could back up the teory about the Matsumoto henchman being him - Bill probably had to live in japan for quite a while, and for Hattori to become so ashamed of his student, he must have probably wrecked some havoc in the land of the rising sun. One isn't simply known as "Bill" in an english-speaking coutry, where toushands of Bills live, but one can be _the_ Bill, the american who works for the yakuza...
On an almost off-topic note, where can one get some shots from the animated sequence of the movie like the one in Burning Ranger's avatar and signature?
Young O-Ren's look as Matsumoto's men found her, bloody-faced as she had just killed the guy, looked truly awesome and it's almost burned into my mind, but I can't seem to get an image of that online...

i really think it's Bill, cause here (in algeria) on the HongKong-VHS cover i had seen a screen of Bill (fighting with Black Mamba as a coop!!! Maybe some flashback of her?), and he have the same style as that Pretty Ricky, long black hair, white suit, dual hand guns.
maybe Pretty Rick is one of Bill's old nicks (maybe his real name), and he was a henchman of the yakusa.
in the scene in "The origins of O-ren Ishiii" it's seems that Pretty Rick know that Oren is under the bed (he looks at the bad like there is another thing to look at).
For me, Pretty Rick could have used Oren in here childood (to kill his own boss), like Zabusa uses Haku in Naruto (as a tool for his interest), and Oren look at Bill like she could look to her lost father (Oren haven't seen Pretty Rick killing her father, she was under the bed).
note: the voice in the chapter 2 not to be by David Caradine means nothing, cause this chapter is done by I.G. production, and not by Tarantino band.
