His Evil Ranking[]
His Villainous Deeds[]
- Uses his status as a hostage of the Misa Amane to air video tapes to scare the public into trusting Kira and to promote Sakura TV.
- Despite helping the Japanese Task Force and L Lawliet in capturing Kyosuke Higuchi as the Yotsuba Kira, he just did it to make money.
- Upon being appointed Kira's spokesman, he turns his program into a propaganda outlet for Kira, urging viewers to report anyone who is against Kira so they can be killed.
- He leads a mob of Kira supporters in an attack on the SPK headquarters, telling them to drag Near and the others in front of the cameras so Kira can kill them.
- Created a TV program called "Kira's Kingdom" to use the money of the Kira supporters to boost his fame and scam them out of their money.
- He has no redeeming qualities, and even the Kira task force say he would deserve getting killed by Kira.
Why He Doesn’t Stand Out?[]
- While he is deplorable, he fails the in-story standards of other characters, such as Light Yagami, Ryuk, Teru Mikami, Kyosuke Higuchi and Beyond Birthday.
- Although he did try killing people and while his attack on the SPK is taken seriously, his other actions are mostly comedic and he is not really taken seriously.
