Sayu Yagami

Light's little sister, who has the bad luck of being a normal kid in this fucked up environment. She's completely unaware of her brother's occupation as Kira. After her horrible kidnapping by Mello, she ends up catatonic and in a wheelchair. Word of God says she's getting better at the end of the manga, though.

Tropes associated with Sayu:

Ryuk (to Light): I guess even you have a soft spot for your sister.

Tropes associated with Matt:

Hitoshi Demegawa

Voiced by: Chafurin (JP), Ward Perry (EN)

Demegawa is director of Sakura TV, a Japanese news channel that is notoriously unreliable, and he shamelessly seeks to exploit the Kira case. He is first seen attempting to broadcast the video tapes Misa sends to his network to get Kira's attention, although Soichiro puts a stop to that. After the Time Skip, he becomes Kira's supporter and self-appointed spokesman, creating and hosting the Show Within a Show Kira's Kingdom...until the incident mentioned below in You Have Failed Me....

Tropes associated with Demegawa:

Linda

Fan art of Linda (by teh-h), because you'd need a microscope to see her one official appearance at the back of a manga panel.

An artist and another of the Wammy orphans. She draws the portraits of Near and Mello that are seen in both the manga and anime.

Tropes associated with Linda:


Yamamoto

Light's school pal. He's joined the NPA by the epilogue.

SPK members

Anthony Rester

Voiced by: Masaki Aizawa (JP), Michael Adamtwaite (EN)

Commander of the SPK, Rester is an honest person who has Near's complete trust, so much so that he reveals some of his thoughts and plans to Rester only. He also helps Near with things he can't do for himself, such as booking a flight on a plane. Appears in the one-shot special in the manga along with Lidner.

His real name is Anthony Carter.

Tropes associated with Rester:

  • Action Survivor
  • The Confidant: To Near.
  • Expy: In a certain way, he acts as a Watari to Near. At least, until the end of the story, when Roger, Watari's friend and caretaker of Wammy's House, takes over the role.


Halle Lidner

Voiced by: Akeno Watanabe (JP), Lisa Ann Beley (EN)

A former Secret Service agent who works for Near as part of the SPK. She joined the SPK to avenge one of her relatives who had been killed by Higuchi at the time when he acted as Kira. She leaks information to Mello about the investigation, as she reasoned that Kira would be caught faster under their combined efforts. Later, she was chosen to infiltrate the bodyguard unit that protects Kiyomi Takada. In the one-shot chapter set three years after Light's death, it is revealed that she and Rester continue to work with Near.

Her real name is Halle Bullook.

Tropes associated with Halle:

  • Action Survivor
  • Affirmative Action Girl: She is introduced after the Time Skip, making her the third action girl in the series and one of the few females in Death Note's predominantly male cast.
    • Action Girl: She still has the physical skills, and poses as Takada's bodyguard.
  • Double Agent: Becomes something like this between Near and Mello.
  • Dumb Blonde: Subverted, as she's one of the more competent women in the series.
  • Eyes of Gold
  • Go Through Me: Pulls one of these when Mello threatens to shoot Near. "If you shoot Near, we'll shoot you, if you both die here, what's the point? Only Kira would be happy with that."
  • Het Is Ew: Probably a contributing factor for the lack of fanwork for Mello/Halle (or at least in comparison to other pairings with Mello).
  • Revenge: She wants to catch Kira to avenge one of her relatives.
  • Shower Scene: She gets her own right before being forced to go back to the SPK headquarters, by Mello.
  • The Smurfette Principle: She's the only female member of the SPK.

Stephen Gevanni

Voiced by: Hiroki Takahashi (JP), Samuel Vincent (EN)

A member of the SPK, Gevanni is a skilled lock-picker, stalker and counterfeiter. He tails Teru Mikami when Near suspects him to be X-Kira and plays a vital role in Near's plan to beat Light once and for all.

His real name is Stephen Loud.
