Aki, played by Akiko Wakabayashi, is a fictional character in the 1967 James Bond film You Only Live Twice.
Aki is first seen when 007 meets her at a sumo wrestling show. Bond knows that she must be his contact to meet Mr Henderson, M's recommended contact in Japan. Bond looks at Aki and she looks at him, knowing that they have to make contact. 007 makes it clear he is the contact by saying "I love you". Aki drives Bond to meet Mr Henderson. After rescuing Bond from Osato the next morning she takes him to meet Tiger Tanaka.
Aki appears a number of times throughout the next stages of the film as an aide to Bond. She even rescues Bond from some scapes, and they fall in love. While Bond is training as a ninja, however, tragedy strikes. An assassin stealthy enters where Bond and Aki are sleeping where he sends a number of drops of poison down a thin cord. As the poison nears the bottom, Aki turns over, allowing the poison meant for Bond to fall on her lips, killing her. Bond immediately kills the assassin.
The original name of the character was Suki. Even though Kissy Suzuki is regarded by many as the lead Bond girl in the film, Aki had the bigger part.
