Police Chief Soichiro Yagami (Takeshi Kaga) has words with Detective L (KenichiMatsuyama).
Light Yagami’s father, Soichiro Yagami, is played by none other than Takeshi Kaga, host of IRON CHEF, as well as voice of Alien Benzen and photojournalist Akuma Ogami in ULTRAMAN ZEARTH (Urutoraman Zeasu, 1996). Chief Yagami is a very determined, if not overly serious man of the law, and Kaga plays him exactly in that way. Out of the entire cast of characters, he is seemingly the most normal and stable. Though, he contains a deep loyalty to both his family and the force, as evident by the fact that he chooses to not resign, even when Kira murders the FBI agents. Kaga presents a surprisingly serious performance, especially for those familiar with him only through IRON CHEF. The scene in which he watches as the majority of the police force departs, is one of the most powerful in the film.
The rest of the cast delivers solid performances all around. Erika Toda gives a glimpse of what is to be expected of her as Misa Misa. Shunji Fujimura plays L’s confidant, Watari, with a certain proud aura that comes with age.
