Suguru Shimura

Suguru Shimura (卓志村, Shimura Suguru) is one of eight members of the Yotsuba Group.

Character
Shimura is the Head of Personnel in Yotsuba. He is a very paranoid person, and always keeps a close eye on others. Shimura's ability to pay attention to small details allowed him to join the meetings; he noticed subtle changes in Reiji Namikawa's face during his phone call with Light Yagami, who was pretending to be L. Death Note 13: How to Read states that he does not like his predicament. He graduated from Kyodo University's law department, and enjoys rugby, having at one point been offered a place in the national team.

Plot
Shimura is an unwilling participant of the Meetings of Death. He is shown to have multiple concerns over L and Eraldo Coil that prove to be true, although none of the other members of the Yotsuba Group pay his suspicions much attention.

He eventually contacts Shingo Mido, desperate to put a stop to the Yotsuba Kira's plans. They hold a private meeting at Mido's house on the night of Higuchi's arrest, later joined by Namikawa, to discuss Kira's possible identity and possibly make plans to attempt to stop him, although they never take further action due to Higuchi's apprehension later that night.

A little over five months after L's death, he is killed by Light along with the other remaining Yotsuba Group members, dying of heart attack. In the Rewrite special, he is controlled and he is run over by a train.
