Takeshi Ooi

Takeshi Ooi (尾々井 剛, Ōi Takeshi) is the Yotsuba Vice President of VT Enterprises.

Character
He is the eldest and "most influential" member of the Yotsuba Group and he "appears" to control the conferences. He individually contacts the members of the committee. Death Note 13: How to Read states that Ooi is "seemingly" a "tough guy who doesn't sweat the details." Ooi was a graduate of Wasegi University Law department, a weapon enthusiast with a father who worked in the Ministry of Defense.

Appearance
Ooi is a large man with a bald head. He wears a pair of glasses and a black suit.

Plot
Ooi directs the meetings of the Yotsuba Group as they work with the Yotsuba Kira to kill off their competition. After Kyosuke Higuchi's apprehension and death, Ooi dies of a heart attack with the other members, the result of Light writing their names in the Death Note.

In the television drama
Ooi's role in the drama is vastly similar to his in the manga; he conducts the meetings held with the Yotsuba Kira. He watches the special aired on Sakura TV staged by L and alerts Higuchi of it. He is presumably taken in for questioning by the Task Force.

Trivia

 * He resembles the character Morpheus from The Matrix franchise.
