Hirokazu Ukita (宇生田 広数, Ukita Hirokazu) is the most emotional of the Kira investigation team that is lead by L. When Misa Amane has Sakura TV broadcast a message from her as Kira, Ukita rushes to the station to stop the broadcast, without any prompting by the rest of the team. Since Misa has the Shinigami Eyes, she kills him as soon as he approaches the door and is about to shoot. He is voiced by Hidenobu Kiuchi in the Japanese version and Jeremy From in the English dub. In the film, he is portrayed by Ikuji Nakamura, and appears notably older. Ukita does not die in the film, Mogi is killed in his place.
Obata said that Ukita is an "emotional" and "easy-to-understand" character who therefore was "easy to draw." When Obata designed him, he did not know that Ukita would die. Obata felt "really surprised" when he saw Ohba's thumbnails portraying Ukita dead.
