There’s Something about Aki(ko Wakabayashi) Department:
Resourceful,
Incredibly “competent” and downright unflappable.
With a wunnerful way of, um, waking one up,
and takin’ care of TLC bizness,
Plus delivering a wish-fulfilling line even Matt Helm hadda snitch in THE WRECKING CREW.]
With easily the most inevitable yet incredibly inventive, tho wistfully sad demise in the entire series. Most becoming and anchored with quiet confidence, there was no other unostentatious cultural equal in the Connery Classics,
and she remains an ethereal, spiritual and subtle soulmate, beautiful in a softly beguiling manner and intelligent with an incisive, understated uniqueness.
A permanent union with 007 was “Regretfully impossible,” Tanaka said.
Ah, you weren’t the only one crushed, Aki ...

As a sort of nod to London’s swingin’ mod set (not squad -  ) of the mid-to-late 60s,
was a charming representation of the “birds” of that era, and added a delightful quality to her character (duly impressed by, um, Jimbo’s, uh, assets).
O-Oh-OH! Seven, indeed – or, is that, In Deed?
Yep, no doubt about it,
it's a durn dirty job,
but the things that dude does for Queen and Country! 
PSSSST: Pay attention to the fetching maiden sitting on the right hand top of the sofa. You may not recognize her right readily but we promise you'll be blown away when you see what she evolved into, honest to Steed ...
