~ Aizawa got angry to Matsuda.

Shuichi Aizawa is a major antagonist in the anime and manga series Death Note.

He is a member of the Japanese Task Force and one of the most prominent detectives involved in the Kira Investigation, although sometimes he is exasperated with Lawliet's methods. Although he is determined to catch Kira, he ultimately puts the needs of his family first. He also becomes the leader of the Task Force at the end of the series.

He is voiced by the late Keiji Fujiwara in the Japanese version of the anime and Trevor Devall in the English version.

His Good Ranking[]

His Heroic Deeds[]

  • After the majority of the NPA members resigned out of fear about Kira, Aizawa is among the few people to remain in the Task Force and continue arrest Kira, despite they are under the risk of getting killed.
  • He is the loudest one to demand that L show himself in person.
  • When Ukita is killed by The Second Kira, he demands to go to the place where Ukita was killed and avenge him, and gets angry when L tries to stop him.
  • Although he chooses to leave when the NPA discontinues funding for the Task Force, this is not corruping, as he needs to care for his family.
  • He feels remorseful after leaving Task Force, bursting out crying in front of his wife and daughter.
  • Even after he quitted the Task Force, he secretly works behind the scenes alongside Hideki Ide.
  • When Higuchi is trying to escape, he and Ide organized a group of police cars to prevent Higuchi from going any further, allowing the Task Force to arrest him.
  • He rejoins the Task Force after Higuchi's death. And after L dies, he continues to stay in the Task Force under Light's command, although he doesn't know Light is Kira and he is used by Light as a pawn.
  • He takes part in raiding against the mafia to take the notebook back from Mello.
  • When Near informs the Task Force of the fake rules within the Death Note, he is the first member to suspect that Light is Kira.
  • He and Mogi proceed to investigate Misa's apartment.
  • When Light began "investigating" Takada but actually giving orders to her, Aizawa leaves a nail mark on the notepad to find out whether Light is secretly contacting her.
  • Once he notices the nail mark he left is gone, he is certain Light is Kira, then he informs Near of this, only to be told not to make any moves besides keeping an eye on Light.
  • When Light is exposed, he tells Light he has lost and tries to arrest him.
  • When the angry Touta Matsuda insists on killing Light despite he is no longer a threat, he stops Matsuda and tries to calm him down.
  • In the anime, when Mikami kills himself to help Light escape, Aizawa defies Near's order to not to go after Light for he would die for bleeding.
  • After Light dies and Near becomes the new L, Aizawa becomes the deputy director and successor to Soichiro Yagami.

Why He Doesn't Stand Out?[]

  • He fails the admirable standard to L and Near, as mostly he is just aiding their plan. In contrast with Soichiro (who rushed into Sakura TV to stop Demegawa from playing video tapes) and Matsuda (who risked his life to help arrest Higuchi), Aizawa lacks additional Goodness Zone to stand out among other Task Force members.
  • He is short-tempered and is easy to get angry.
    • He angrily shouts at Matsuda when Matsuda talks about work-irrelevant topics.
    • When learning that L had not mentioned the money because he wanted to see what Aizawa would choose to do, he leaves the Task Force out of spite.
