A traditional Japanese costume
made for Tetsuro Tanba for the 1967 James Bond adventure "You
Only Live Twice" is going up for auction this week at Bonham's in London with an estimated sale price of £1,000.
The costume was originally gifted to Mark Pollard after the
production of "You Only Live Twice" wrapped. Pollard
was the assistant voice coach on the production and worked exclusively
with Tetsuro Tanba who played Tiger Tanaka. Tanba insisted that
he was trained by a male voice coach throughout filming resulting
in Pollard having no time to work with any of the other cast
members.
