Voiced by: Chafūrin (Japanese), Ward Perry (English)

Hitoshi is a publicity hound and director of Sakura TV. He serves as Kira's spokesman before Mikami kills him. Demegawa, born on April 4, 1966, dies on December 28, 2009 after Mikami kills him. Demegawa is 164 centimeters tall and has 74 kilograms. He has the A blood type.

In the film, he is known as Yuji Demegawa and portrayed by Magy. Demegawa has sexual intercourse with Nishiyama, allowing her to become an anchorwoman. Demegawa is not killed in the film, so his death at the hands of Mikami never happens as it does in the series.
