Touta Matsuda

Tota Matsuda (松田 桃太, Matsuda Tōta) (romanized as "Touta Matsuda" in the English manga) is the youngest and most outspoken member of the Kira investigation team. He takes the alias Taro Matsui (松井 太郎, Matsui Tarō) while working with L, and also becomes Misa Amane's manager once she and Light join. Despite working to capture Kira, which he knows must be done, Matsuda admits that a part of him recognizes the good Kira is doing, even if he knows it's the wrong way to go about it. As such, he is somewhat supportive and sympathetic towards Kira's followers, though he doesn't let it get in the way of his work. Despite his excitable, naïve personality, Matsuda manages to stay alive through quite a few dangerous times. He is voiced by Ryō Naitō in the Japanese anime and Vincent Tong in the English dub. In the film, he is played by Sota Aoyama.
