Sayu Yagami

Sayu Yagami (夜神 粧裕, Yagami Sayu) is Light Yagami's younger sister and plays a minor role in the main storyline, remaining unaware of Light's possession of the Death Note. Sayu, born on June 18, 1989, is a 14-year old second-year student (8th grade) at Eishu Junior High School (英集中学校, Eishu Chūgakkō) at the beginning of the story. Sayu asks Light for help with mathematic homework, including quadratic function assignments, and looks up to Light as she sees his intelligence and believes that he will become a quality detective.

In the second part of the series, she is kidnapped by Mello's gang and taken to the United States, but is later returned to her father, Soichiro Yagami, when he gives the gang the Death Note. Because of these events, in both the manga and anime, she falls into a state of shock and becomes unresponsive to everyone, including her family.
