Yumi Aizawa
CharacterYumi Aizawa is the young daughter of detective Shuichi Aizawa and his wife Eriko. Her handful of scenes give the investigation a human anchor, from a tearful reunion in the park after her father quits the task force to a quiet moment years later when she nudges him to stop agonizing over his work.
Appearance
Brown eyes look out from the face of a small girl whose brown hair falls to about chin length. The story shows her young.
Personality
What comes through is a warm, attentive child. She is quick to notice her father's mood, whether spotting him slumped on a bench or sensing his inner struggle later on, and her instinct is to comfort rather than pry. Her excitement at the thought of having him home is plainly genuine.
History
Her first scene unfolds in a park, where she walks alongside her mother and infant sibling. She catches sight of her father seated on a bench and points him out. Aizawa is sitting there low, having just stepped away from the Japanese Task Force. When Yumi comes over, he tells her only that he is taking some time off. Thrilled, she asks whether that means he will be around the house now, and he confirms it, lifting her up and promising more days together, trips to the zoo, maybe even the amusement park, before the weight of it all brings him to tears.
After the story's time skip, she returns during a stretch when Aizawa is wrestling with the question of whether Light Yagami is Kira. Mentioning that she has been studying, she gently tells him not to push himself so hard.
