So we have filed for the AOS and just got done with our Biometrics. next step is to wait for the interview date, and we figured we should take the time to change my wifes last name in her origin country (Japan in this case). 

My question is, will this have any negative effect on the i485 paperwork?

Why would it have a negative affect at all? This is just another sign that you two are in a legitimate relationship.

The only thing I see is if you filed her AOS with her maiden name, in that case at the interview you would be required to bring proof of legal change and any other ID she would have used in the process such as passport with maiden etc.

We filed everything with her new last name... and just put her maiden name under the "previous last names" section. Sounds like we should be good.
