"Matsuda" (「松田」 "Matsuda"?) is the 19th episode of the Death Note TV series, which aired on February 20, 2007 in Japan.
Matsuda, feeling inferior to the rest of the investigation team, decides to snoop around the Yotsuba group and do his own research. He leaves Misa's movie shoot and wanders to the door outside Yotsuba's secret Friday meetings. Upon hearing their conversation of "kill" and "kira" he is caught. He uses his fake ID and poses as Misa's manager trying to promote Misa to save himself. Matsuda signals the investigation team by using his belt, and L confirms that he in trouble by phoning him. To distract the Yotsuba group from interrogating Matsuda they lure them to their investigation building pretending to throw a party with Misa and her friends.
During this Matsuda manages to phone L again in private, and recieves instruction for the preservation of his life. Subsequently, he pretends to do stunts on the ledge of the patio while pretending to be drunk and "falls" off. The rest of the investagation team catches him from the floor below and Aiber posing as Matsuda lying on the sidewalk outside further convices the Yotsuba group that he's dead. Misa and her friends chase them out and tells the Yotsuba group that they would take care of what happened. When they leave, the members of Yotsuba say it's a good thing that Matsuda died before they had to take action. The investigation team is relieved and plans their next move against the company. The episode ends back at the Yotsuba group meeting. At the meeting, a member asks to quit the group but is pressured into staying in fear that kira would kill him. After L has Yotsuba successfully bugged, Light's father notices on screen, that there are only seven members present at the Yotsuba meeting, one absent from the original eight.
