Peter Fanene Maivia as the car driver in ‘You Only Live Twice’.

Car driver is a fictional character in the James Bond film You Only Live Twice. He is a chauffeur/bodyguard to Mr Osato and portrayed by professional wrestler Peter Fanene Maivia.

He was assembled to drive an assassin (David Toguri) to dikko Henderson’s house. Later, the assassin is killed by Bond, who takes his clothes and mask so the car driver would lead him to their headquarters (Osato Chemicals). The car driver carries the body to Osato’s room, and when he takes off the mask, discovers it isn’t his partner. Bond takes his gun but the car driver disarms him, and the two start fighting. The fight only finishes when Bond hits car driver on the head with a statue, which breaks into halves. While it is not clear whether the car driver is dead or only unconscious, Bond hides him in the freezer. In his visit to Osato the next day, the broken statue is repaired and the freezer is empty, so the car driver’s status is unknown.
