Biography[]
James Bond first met her when he was undercover at Drake's castle in Austria. She claimed she was waiting for someone at the party, presumably Armitage Rook or Alexander Mayhew, for the exchange of missile guidance chips in Drake's boardroom. After Bond and CIA Agent Zoe Nightshade stole the chips and managed to escape Austria, Mayhew offered to defect from Drake's organization in exchange for MI6 protection. Kiko, despite being Mayhew's bodyguard, instead remained loyal to Drake and revealed Mayhew's intentions to him, who sent several assassins, including one trained by Kiko herself. Kiko feigned allegiance to the deceased Mayhew and drove Bond to Phoenix International's headquarters in Tokyo, where she again had Drake send men after him, though Bond escaped thanks to the help of Dominique Paradis, a French Agent undercover in Drake's organization as his lover.
Kiko followed Bond to Drake's missile disposal facility where he was secretly conducting research on advanced weaponry. Kiko invited Bond onto a helicopter where she tranquilized him and took him back he Phoenix base in Japan. There, Dominique's cover was blown and Kiko was instructed to kill her and "deal with the body". Dominique tried to buy Bond enough time to escape, and in the ensuing struggle, Kiko kicked her off the helipad to her death. Kiko presumably pursued Bond through the Phoenix building as he fought his way through her men, but she failed to catch up to him before Alura McCall, an Australian Intelligence agent, arrived to rescue him.
Kiko is encountered again at Drake's island in the South Pacific where they were stockpiling nuclear weapons instead of dismantling them. Kiko discovers Bond and Alura's incursion and rushes to lock down the security station to prevent Bond from following her, but Bond managed to sneak in behind her in time to disable the Drake's security system and pursue her through the base. As Bond is preparing to board one of the shuttles, Kiko appears and presses a button to collapse the gantry, sending Bond falling into the blast pit. She sends the men into the blast bit to kill him, including to ninja assassins that she's trained, but they are unsuccessful. When Kiko fled up the elevator to the boarding area, Bond used his grapple to attach to the elevator and pursued her, though she locked herself behind a door. Using Kiko's tactic against her, Bond presses the button to collapse the gantry as Kiko is walking across it to her shuttle. Unable to reach a shielded room in time, Kiko is incinerated alive when as shuttle launches Bond into space.
