Misa Amane's friend

"If you want me to kill her just say so and I’ll kill her!"

- Misa Amane (Episode 13)

Misa Amane's friend is a companion of Misa's who unknowingly helps Misa get in touch with Kira.

Appearance
In the anime, Misa's friend is portrayed with red hair, pale skin and wears dark red lipstick. In both the anime and manga, however, her face is never seen, though in the anime the lower portion of her face is revealed.

Character
Misa's friend lived in the Kansai region of Japan, and presumably still lives there. She is very interested in the occult.

Plot
Misa planned on making tapes that she would send to Sakura TV, threatening them to air the tapes on television.

Knowing that if she touched the tapes herself they could be traced back to her. She suggests to her friend that they distribute a fake poltergeist video that Misa had made to various TV shows as a prank of sort, and her friend agrees to help her. Misa has her friend take care of all of the dubbing so that she won't get her fingerprints on the tapes. Misa then takes them from her friend, adds the Kira graphic, and records the message with a voice affect.

Misa appeared to have a good relationship with her friend, but was more than willing to frame her and offer to kill her in order to get rid of any loose ends when Light asks where her friend is.
