* KidnappedByAnAlly: The way Bond meets him for the first time.

* CoolTrain: He has his own private underground train on a railroad beneath Tokyo. There's a lounge living room onboard, complete with a bar ("Sorry, ''no'' Siamese vodka!"), and a high-tech office offering full communication, encryption and stenographic services, as well as a fully equipped audio-visual suite that can display any material at a command - even micro-dots.

* GiantMook: He's a good head taller than Bond and easily [[NoSell NoSells]] most of Bond's punches. Bond is still able to throw him a few times using leverage, which is also ultimately how he beats him, by using an Aikido toss to dunk him in a pool of piranhas.

* UndyingLoyalty: Amidst all the chaos in SPECTRE's lair during the climax, he still makes sure to cover Blofeld's retreat.

->'''Played by:''' Teru Shimada (島田テル)

A Japanese industrialist secretly allied with SPECTRE.

* AffablyEvil: When Bond goes to Osato Chemicals to meet Mr. Osato himself, masquerading as a potential new buyer, Osato humors Bond, but after their meeting, he orders his secretary, Helga Brandt, to have him killed. Cue assassins opening fire at Bond outside the building.
* BlofeldPloy: Happens twice to him. The first time, [[spoiler:it leads to Helga Brandt's execution]], the second time, Blofeld aims his gun straight at Bond, [[spoiler:before shooting Osato.]]
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: The president of Osato Chemicals and an ally of SPECTRE.
* TheDragon: Of the "smart, detail-oriented administrator" type to Hans' "ferocious fighter" type, which makes Osato more of an...
* EvilGenius: He and his company were delivering elements for rocket fuel to Blofeld and SPECTRE.
* YouHaveFailedMe: [[spoiler:As seen in BlofeldPloy, Blofeld kills him for failing him so much after it looked like he was going to shoot Bond first.]]

[[caption-width-right:250: ''"Darling, I give you very best duck."'']]
->'''Played by:''' Tsai Ching (周采芹)

A Chinese woman seen in the pre-credit sequence. After being in bed with Bond, she presses a button on the wall flipping the bed into an upright position with Bond still on it. She then lets in a couple of gunmen who shoot at Bond. [[spoiler: The killing, however, is staged.]]
----
* DragonLady: Despite her brief appearance, she hits all the check-boxes: She's overtly sexual and seemingly [[DevilInPlainSight untrustworthy]] MysteriousWoman. [[spoiler: Turns out that she wasn't that bad, however.]]
* HoneyTrap: She seemingly led Bond into a trap and his death. [[spoiler: Or it seems so.]]
* TheVamp: Seems like she led Bond into his death. [[spoiler: Except not.]]

!!Dikko Henderson

->'''Played by:''' Charles Gray

* AdaptationalNationalityChange:
* AdaptationPersonalityChange:

* OrganDodge / ProstheticLimbReveal: Played with. Bond smacks him hard in the leg — which is wooden and proves it really is him. Henderson is just glad he got the correct leg.

* InformedAbility: Claimed to be equal to Bond in his abilities, seduction included. However, apart from her awesome driving skills, we never see her fight, shoot, or even run without Bond dragging her along.

* MightyWhiteyAndMellowYellow: "I think I will very much enjoy serving under you." Eventually a fatal example, but otherwise played very straight.
* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:Works alongside Bond for a little more than half of the film before she's killed by a SPECTRE assassin who was trying to kill Bond.]] Although given her scarce personality, this makes her redundant by the time Kissy arrives.
* SatelliteLoveInterest: Has little character outside of her interactions with Bond, and is so barely distinguishable from Kissy that [[spoiler: her death]] might as well have not happened at all. Robert A. Caplen, author of ''Shaken & Stirred: The Feminism of James Bond'', describes her as "a mere accessory whose actions consist of standing and smiling".

* FauxActionGirl: Despite being physically capable enough to climb a volcano, or to swim around in a dark bay dodging bullets effortlessly, while Aki can at least boast saving Bond a couple of times, there is almost nothing that shows her capability of being an agent. We never see her help Bond fight, and she spends the last portion of the movie cowering behind Tanaka while they were raiding the SPECTRE hideout.

* SatelliteLoveInterest: In fact, her personality is barely distinguishable from Aki's.

* FantasticRacism: In the book, he despises Aborigines and is horrified at the idea that they should be given the vote.

* WeHardlyKnewYe: [[spoiler:Little about his character is known before her death.]]

* CrazyPrepared: By far the most competent and well-equipped ally Bond has ever met, what with sending a helicopter equipped with a giant electromagnet to pick up a car that was chasing Aki and Bond.

[[caption-width-right:314: ''"Rule number one: never do anything yourself when someone else can do it for you."'']]

* HomeBase: A hidden high tech office dedicated to "receive" his guests (after said guests fall through a funnel) and a [[CoolTrain private underground train]].

* AdaptationalHeroism: In the novel, Tanaka is essentially a proudly Axis gangster who ended up on the "right" side as a quirk of post-War politics. The less savory aspects of his character are not seen in the film.
* AwesomeMcCoolName: How could his name be anything but this trope?

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He fully backs Bond up.

[[folder: "Tiger" Tanaka]]

* GadgeteerGenius: Can also be considered as the Japanese equivalent of Q.
