Hideki Ide (伊出 英基 Ide Hideki) plays a relatively minor role in the Kira investigative team. He helps coordinate their efforts, and preforms actions such as organizing a blockade of police cars to trap Higuchi. He is voiced by Hideo Ishikawa in the Japanese anime and Brian Dobson in the English dub.
Obata said that he liked Ide because he could understand the mental process of Ide leaving and rejoining the team. Obata said that he finds it easier to draw characters that reveal their motivations for their actions.
