Shibuimaru is a criminal who was never prosecuted for killing five children. Light finds his name in a police database after he hacks into the NPA server. He finds Shibuimaru in a lounge, bragging about the fact that he was not prosecuted. When a man asks Shibuimaru how he felt, he brags about his acquittal and laughed at the fact that the parents of his victims screamed when they discovered the acquittal.
Shibuimaru finds Light looking over his shoulder and threatens him with a knife. He then backs away and laughs, taunting Light by stating that no one can prosecute him. Light leaves the lounge just before he finds the Death Note.
At a later point, Shibuimaru sees Light at a train crossing and starts gawking at the law student. Light, who had previously killed another criminal, writes Shibuimaru's name into the Death Note. As a train passes between Light and Shibuimaru, the criminal collapses of a heart attack.
