Watari

Quillsh Wammy, referred to as Watari (ワタリ) is L's handler, as well as the supplier of logistics to the Kira Investigation. Before the team is formed, he is the only person who has seen L, and the only one capable of contacting L directly. Like L, he represents himself with an Old English "W" on computer screens. He is also a fatherly figure to L. He is a famous inventor and the founder of Wammy's House, an orphanage for gifted children in Winchester, England. Watari is well trained in espionage and marksmanship. He is voiced by Kiyoshi Kobayashi in the Japanese anime and French Tickner in the English dub (except for the film, in which Ron Halder takes over).



In the film, he is played by Shunji Fujimura, who felt that Watari's presence would "come alive" if he projected "the mood of this mysterious old gentleman without the air of livelihood."

Watari's Fate

 * After Light regains his Death Note, he tricks Rem into killing Watari and L for his own personal gain. Before Watari dies, he presses a killswitch button which causes all data deletion at task force headquarters. L told him to do this if something 'strange' were to happen to him. Rem disintegrates after killing L and Watari because she deliberately increased Misa Amane's lifespan by causing their deaths. His death in the anime is nearly identical to his death in the manga, with the exception that in the anime, Rem is shown behind Watari, stepping back into the shadows with her one visible eye glowing red. Also, in the film, Misa is with Watari when he dies. She is seen on a monitor crouching sadly next to his lifeless body. All the things he invented were for the sake of the country he loved. A pariotic to be remembered in every heart.

In Death Note: Last Name and L: Change the WorLd, Watari dies of a heart attack in the elevator while capturing Misa.
