Jose

Jose (ホセ, Hose) is a member of the Mafia led by Rod Ross and Mello.

Appearance
Jose has neck length black hair and black eyes. He wears a black tank-top shirt.

Plot
When the Kira Investigation Team raided the Mafia hideout in order to retrieve the Death Note, Mello and Soichiro Yagami are in a stand-off, the former threatening to blow the whole base up with bombs, the latter threatening to write his name in the Death Note.

Jose is in the same room, but pretending to be dead. While Mello distracted Soichiro, Jose grabs a machine-gun and opens fire, inflicting heavy injuries on Soichiro.

He then tries to retrieve the Death Note, but cannot get it out from Soichiro's clutches. Other members of the Kira Investigation Team then break in and Jose is then shot dead.
