A hapless pawn in Blofeld's game of world domination, Mr. Osato is the chief executive of Osato Enterprises. In You Only Live Twice, he is closely involved in the SPECTRE plot to start a world war by sabotaging space exploratory missions by both the U.S. and Russia and supplies numerous technical innovations to the SPECTRE space race.

Personality

Osata was a powerful and respected businessman in Japan as head of Osato Chemical and Engineering Company. Although respected it was discovered that Osato was in fact corrupt and working for SPECTRE.

Scheme

Mr Osato was responsible for suppling SPECTRE with liquid oxygen which was used to fuel their rocket. Osato was ordered by Blofeld to have Bond assasinated, after they realised he was a British secret agent. After several unsucessful attempts on Bond's life, Osato was executed by Blofeld, for failure.
