Death Note 

In a world where justice, morality, and intelligence collide, a mysterious notebook falls from the sky and changes everything.

The Death Note grants its owner the power to kill anyone by writing their name inside it. What begins as one student's attempt to create a perfect world becomes a global battle of manipulation, deduction, and psychological warfare.

At the center of this conflict stands Light Yagami, a genius honor student who believes he can reshape the world. Opposing him is L Lawliet, the world's greatest detective, who sees through lies better than anyone alive.

Watching from the shadows are Shinigami, humans with impossible powers, and countless people caught between justice and fear.

Every action has consequences. Every word can be a trap. Every person could be hiding something.

Light Yagami

Age: 17 (Beginning) / Early 20s (Later)

Occupation: Student / Task Force Investigator

Role: Kira

Light Yagami is an exceptionally intelligent and talented student with perfect grades, a calm personality, and the appearance of an ideal young man.

Behind his polite and respectful image is a highly calculating mind. After discovering the Death Note, Light becomes Kira, a mysterious figure who kills criminals around the world in an attempt to create what he believes is a perfect society.

Light sees himself as the ultimate form of justice and believes that only he has the ability to judge humanity.

Publicly, Light is:

  • Polite

  • Friendly

  • Respectful

  • Reliable

  • Calm

Internally, Light is:

  • Extremely confident

  • Manipulative

  • Strategic

  • Ruthless when necessary

  • Constantly analyzing others

Light rarely reveals his true emotions. His arrogance appears mostly in his private thoughts, where he views himself as the future God of the New World.

L Lawliet

Age: 24-25

Occupation: World's Greatest Detective

L is the greatest detective in the world and the person most capable of challenging Kira.

  • Curious

  • Neutral

  • Mischievous
