I really, REALLY love this match. I give my kudos to everyone in this thread.
Personally, I'll give more detailed scans later, but summing it up: I believe that Light can kill him in more scenarios than the contrary.
Kira's Advantages:
As Armor pointed out, he is the better detective and thinker in this scenario, ans there is 0 doubt that he'd find out about Yujiro quite quickly. His anonimity is better concealed than that of Yujiro. The moment he finds out, taking Armor's assumption of 10 seconds, he can kill Yujiro more quickly. As with most L matches, it isn't Kira who makes the debate interesting: He is the obstacle that will eventually find out and kill you, given the chance.
Yujiro's Advantages
Most of all, Yujiro's exact identity isn't readily available. Everyone knows his Ogre persona, and his legends are widely known, but who he is exactly... Unknown. But I'd like to mention that it shouldn't be remotely hard for L to figure out about Yujiro's identity; hs profile isn't low, and it would be easy for L to discover about the undergroud fights, about the incidents the Ogre caused, perhaps the fight with Doppo, and from that, discovering Yujiro.
Everyone covered very well that Yujiro can do a mad fast dash to Kira and potentially catch him. I'd like to mention however two things: One, I do not like to take Yujiro being in Tokyo for granted. It is consistently shown he regularly travels around the entire world to do things. There is a good chance that he's caught out. The second thing is that Yujiro is chockfull of objectively Supersonic movement, but if we take the "moves fast enough to blitz people with X reactions" as speed (which I am a bit skeptical), his speed should be close to his reaction speed. Most Baki characters have specific moves that allow them to blitz people otherwise comparable, if not even faster than them. Yujiro is no exception. I'm also pretty sure he's much faster than Mach 10+ by other feats.
In any case, his extrasensory perception is also greater than stated here. Yes, his bloodlust feeling is great and would allow him to instsntly feel Kira, alright, but he has several other senses. Right now my mind has blanked, but not only he his five senses (plus some others) are extremely developed, he should scale to people that can do lots of stuff. I'll grab scans later. My point is that, if he's in Tokyo and comes to the general area of that Kira is, even without bloodlust, I believe Yujiro would find him if he really wanted to, before Kira could find out about him.
Also, Yujiro is extremely shrewd. While he lacks the detective skills of Kira, certainly, he has innate logical skills, tracking abilities and terrifying knowledge on human psychology. Given enough time, I do believe he can find out about Kira, but more importantly, have a good idea of his area, which is enough.
But despite that, i do think that under most circumstances, Kira kills Yujiro faster than otherwise. Granted, if Yujiro is in the region of Tokyo, I do think he'd win, quite quickly in fact, faster than Kira can find out about him, but the chances that such circumstances align are somewhat narrow.
Sorry for the lack of scans and bad writing, I'm on the phone right now.
