Kissy Suzuki
The movie: "You Only Live Twice"
The actress: Mie Hama
Character type: Pearl-diving stand-in
Cringeworthy name factor: Moderate
Good or evil?: Good
Ultimate fate: "Marries" Bond, escapes an exploding volcano lair with him.
Distressed damsel or Bond-worthy badass?: In theory, she's a ninja (in the movie, at least.) In practice, she's only really good at holding her breath and swimming underwater -- which is important, but not really badass. She's a last-minute replacement for the real badass, Aki. She trends damsel.
