Japanese Task Force

The Task Force (捜査本部, Sousa Honbu), later called the Japanese Task Force, is the primary organization searching for Kira.

Overview
The Task Force is created by Ryuzaki after he deduces that Kira is in Japan and is the only organization within the country that is searching for Kira. The existence of the organization is not made public, and the names and personal information of all of the members are kept secret. After Ryuzaki's death, Light Yagami heads the organization and begins operating under the title of L.

The N.P.A. initially had many members assigned the Kira case. As Light becomes more ruthless in his actions, however, it becomes clear that anyone searching for Kira would be in great danger, and the officers are given the choice to stay or leave without risk of losing their job or paycheck. They are told to make the choice carefully and to take their family into consideration.

Nearly every member decides to leave the case. The members left are addressed by Ryuzaki as L via computer, who says that he will meet them face-to-face. Ryuzaki had, in fact, been waiting for the other members to leave, knowing that those who stayed would be truly dedicated to the investigation.
