Japanese Task Force

The Japanese Taskforce is the primary organization searching for Kira.

Overview
The taskforce was 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 is kept secret. After Ryuzaki's death Light Yagami heads the organization, and begins operating under the title of L.

The NPA 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.
