![]() ![]() While surveilling Light, L begins to grow more and more suspicious of him, resulting in Soichiro becoming deeply offended and anxious. Soichiro, distressed at the idea of his son being Kira. Despite it being very unlawful, Soichiro reluctantly agrees to go along with L's plan in order to clear his family. Seeing L in person for the first time, they also see Watari's face, and address L by the name "Ryuzaki." The Task Force agrees to wear counterfeit badges on L's request in order to protect themselves from Kira's power while the Task Force is dismissive of these kinds of methods, Soichiro is the force that agrees with L and goes along with his plans.Īfter it's apparent to L that Kira is among those Raye Penber was investigating, he decides to plant surveillance cameras in the Yagami household. In order to end any remains of distrust, L and the Task Force agree to meet in person, using a specific system involving the switching of hotels. As time goes on, much to Soichiro's disappointment, tension rises as more police officers resign and get upset with working with an anonymous figure who makes questionable moves.Įventually, after the murder of a dozen FBI agents, not only is it clear that Kira kills anyone who opposes him, but L was investigating a secret investigation of them this causes the majority of the officers to quit, leaving only several. However, he ultimately decides that he will make the exchange, not as an officer, but as Sayu Yagami's father.Īs the Kira case begins, Soichiro follows L's request of working with him, Kira most likely residing within Japan. As a police officer and the Chief of the NPA, he believes that handing over the Death Note to the Mafia is wrong, and the Death Note in the hands of the Mafia is too great a risk. His dilemma comes from having to choose between the duty of an officer, and the duty of a parent. When his daughter Sayu is kidnapped by the Mafia, he becomes conflicted over whether or not he should follow their wishes and trade the Death Note for Sayu. Thanks to L's accusations of Light being Kira, Soichiro's role as a detective is challenged and so are his deontological values he holds, allowing L to take drastic and illegal measures simply in order to prove to himself that his son isn't Kira, such as when he allowed L to place surveillance cameras in the Yagami household, a move that Soichiro would otherwise detest and disagree with thanks in part to its unlawful nature. In order to prove it, he goes so far as to kidnap Light (who had given up the Death Note and lost his memories of ever using it) and his girlfriend, Misa Amane (who had also given up her Death Note and had no memories of it), and put them in a situation in which if Light were Kira, Light would have no choice but to kill him. Throughout the Kira investigation, he believes that his son is innocent. However, this is in part to his motto, "justice first, family later" (a belief Light ends up adopting). Soichiro was often absent from home, meaning that he spent little time with his family. He has a strong sense of duty, and even after the police stop funding the Kira investigation he continues trying to solve the case with the Task Force. He is a serious and responsible man that gains the respect of many. He cares greatly for his family and the members of the Japanese Task Force. ![]() Soichiro is a kind man with a strong sense of justice. He has a mustache (which consists of many more strands of hair in the anime than in the manga), and his short, neatly combed-back black hair grays as the series progresses. He wears a pair of rectangular spectacles at most times and dresses in formal Western clothing. Soichiro is a fairly tall middle-aged man. ![]()
