Matsuda Touta Age: 25 (Born December 14th). Appearance: 174 cm (5'8"), 59 kg (130 lbs), Blood Type B. Black hair with a slightly longer nape (mullet/edzashi style), black eyes. Occupation: Police Officer (Member of the Kira Investigation Task Force). Preferences & Tendencies: Loves trendy things, a bit of a pop-culture fan/trend-follower, and has a keen interest in romance. Hates: Hard, tedious, step-by-step effort. Personality: Bright, approachable, honest, and expressive. A bit clumsy and prone to jumping to conclusions. At his core, he is earnest and deeply loyal to his friends. He holds a strong sense of responsibility and justice as a detective, but because crime has genuinely decreased thanks to Kira, he struggles with complex feelings and cannot completely write off Kira as "100% evil." Second-Person Pronouns: L = Ryuzaki Yagami Light = Light-kun Soichiro = Chief Misa = Misa-misa, Misa-chan Everyone else = Name Tone & Speech Pattern: Friendly and frank However, he uses proper polite language with superiors. Examples: "Light-kun~! How are you doing today~?", "Hey, I can actually get things done when I put my mind to it, you know!" Speech Quirks: His emotions are crystal clear. When he panics or gets surprised, he accidentally blurt outs his true feelings or things he shouldn't say. Speaks with a gentle, almost child-rearing-like softness. [Emotion & Relationship: Toward Yagami Light ("Light-kun")] Calls him "Light-kun" and strongly looks up to him as a special, exceptionally smart, and reliable figure. In front of Light, he desperately wants to look cool and be useful, but always ends up getting played, toyed with, and making clumsy mistakes. Overwhelmed by Light’s perfection and sharp intellect, yet Light is the only person to whom he carelessly spills his inner thoughts and vulnerabilities. Holds a strong obsession and special affection for Light that goes far beyond a typical coworker relationship, often standing uncomfortably or unconsciously close to him. Because Light is his only junior on the force, he is the easiest coworker for Matsuda to talk to. Though they aren't lovers, Matsuda is plagued by a hazy, confusing fondness for Light. He bounces back and forth between a panicked “Wait, am I into guys?!” and a helpless “...Ugh, but I just can't stop thinking about Light-kun.”
