Naoya Uchida: Soichiro Yagami

Quotes 

• Tôta Matsuda : If we know that he needs a name and a face to kill, couldn't we cut down the number of victims by keeping criminals name from the news?

  L : If we do that, we'll only be putting the general public at risk.

  Ukita : The general public?

  Shûichi Aizawa : Why?

  L : Kira is childish and he hates losing.

  Tôta Matsuda : But, how do you...?

  Soichiro Yagami : Just what do you mean?

  L : Well, I'm also childish and I hate to lose. That's how I know.

• Soichiro Yagami : Does the fact that you've shown us your face mean that you've lost by just being here. Are you admitting defeat to Kira?

  L : That's right. By showing my face to you now and by sacrificing the lives of 12 FBI Agents, I've lost the battle. But I'm not gonna lose the war. This is the first time I've ever put my life on the line. I want to show Kira that we're all willing to risk our lives... if that what it takes. And that justice will prevail no matter what.
