Kanichi Takimura (多貴村=管一, Takimura Kanichi) is head of the Japanese National Police Agency.

PlotEdit

He is kidnapped by the Mafia led by Mello in order to serve as a hostage in exchange for the Death Note the Japanese police had in its possession. Takimura is later found dead, strangled by his own tie. Due to this unexpected turn of events, Mello organises the kidnapping of Sayu Yagami, the daughter of Takimura's deputy Soichiro Yagami, and holds her hostage in exchange for the Death Note.

Death Note: How to Read 13 confirms that he is killed by Kira(Light Yagami), though in the manga Light himself does not openly confirm this in his thoughts or in conversation. Nearand Mello themselves speculate that it could have been either Kira's doing or actual suicide.
