you have to remember, this is a Hollywood movie, for the American market, most japanese actresses that can act, aren't known well enough in the USA for a major Hollywood studio to spend millions of dollars on.

ZiYi is well know in the US thanks to CTHD
i think the american public also known her on jackie chan's "rush hour 2".

Let's just say you don't buy the movie for that scene. Rent it, swipe it from someone,...just don't buy it.
