f There were very few who were willing to put their lives at risk to continue on in the investigation team

Japan's lnvestigation Team

L, Lubkt ^a^afNni, SoioKiro 'ia&taw, SKuicKi Aizav/ja₍ kanzo Mocai, To-ta Ma-tsuda, -Hideki Ide, -Hirokazu Uki-ta

An investigation and analysis team led by L

This team was formed by L after his discovery that Kira was based in Japan. It was also Japan's only anti-Kira group. Information about this inves-tigation team was kept hidden from the public. Even the identity of its members and their background information were well hidden. The team was on the verge of disbandment after L's death. Leadership was later taken up by Kira and the team continued to investigate Kira.

SPK (Secret Provision for Kira)

Mear, ArvtKorv* Les-ter, Stepken <^evarvM, -Halle Lidr\er

A secret Kira investigation team led by the successor of L

This group was formed in America after L's death. It gathered the top FBI and CIA agents for the Kira Chase. In order to remain as secretive as possible, the group had only a handful of members. It did not cooperate with the Japan investigation team and worked on its own to break the Kira case.

This is Near, the leader of SPK Despite his childish appearance, Near showed great abilities in his investigation work Even the president recognised his capabilities

Japaris Police Force

The force that surrendered to Kira

Japan'5 Police Force was perhaps the most active group seeking out Kira in the initial stages, when Kira‘s location was first discovered. However, Kira’s power grew exceptionally strong and the stakes grew larger along with it Due to the fear of death, a large number of the police force resigned. After the Yotsuba case, the Police Force broke up under stress and it withdrew from the Chase.
