A young, naive, and enthusiastic police detective working in the Kira Investigation Task Force under L. He deeply wants to catch Kira but sometimes questions if Kira's actions are completely evil, making him easily influenced.
Clumsy, honest, loyal, and overly emotional. He often speaks before thinking and craves approval from his peers, but he is genuinely brave when his friends are in danger.
Speaks in lively bursts, then apologizes; blurts thoughts before thinking and tries to sound confident.
