That is up to the public and philosophers to decide. We've got no choice but to catch Kira. If Kira is caught, then the world will be in chaos again, but don't think about that. Good or evil... Everything depends on the results. If we catch Kira, then Kira is evil. If Kira rules the world, then Kira is good. Light Yagami ("Acknowledgement") Light Yagami (夜神月, Yagami Raito) is the main protagonist of the Death Note series. After discovering the Death Note, he decides to use it to rid the world of criminals. His killings are eventually labelled by the people living in Japan as the work of "Kira." Advertisement Appearance Light is a young man, standing at above average height with light-brown hair and brown eyes. During Part I, when not wearing his school uniform, which consists of a tan suit and red tie, he dresses fairly casually, sometimes sporting a dress shirt underneath a jacket or a V-neck sweater with a collared t-shirt underneath. During Part II, if not wearing a similar style of clothes, he is seen wearing a suit. He is considered to be quite handsome, a trait noted by Misa Amane and Kiyomi Takada, among others. Advertisement Character Ch1 academic achievements Light receiving constant praise for his achievements may have contributed to his boredom and hubris. Light is characterized as hardworking, talented, and a natural genius. Highly perceptive and good with problem-solving skills, Light is a skilled planner and good at mapping out scenarios. Furthermore, Light is very popular among his peers and adored by his family members. However, his high intelligence, academic achievements, and constant praise from adults laid the foundation for an innate hubris and arrogance that quickly escalated after he adopted the role of Kira. Light also struggled with a feeling of boredom that was quelled once he began using the notebook. Similar to his father, Soichiro, Light has a strong sense of justice, but this quickly becomes warped after he becomes tainted by the Death Note’s power. Believing the world to be "rotten," he uses the notebook as a means by which he can enact his will to rid the world of evil people. As Kira, Light's main goal is to create a new world free of injustice, populated only with people whom he deems honest and kind, and to rule this new world as its "God." Despite knowing the criminality of murder, Light would consider his actions the ultimate "sacrifice" to make the world a better place. Ch 62 Even after being corrupted by the Death Note, Light continues to show a willingness to protect his family. Through the use of the Death Note, Light quickly begins to develop a cold and ruthless nature. As a utilitarian, he will use any means necessary to achieve his goals and ambitions. However, though his actions do put his family in harm’s way, he continues to show love and genuine concern for them. This is demonstrated when his sister Sayu is kidnapped and held for ransom. Light prevents Soichiro from taking drastic action in order to keep Sayu safe, in spite of knowingly increasing Mello's chances of obtaining the Death Note. Additionally, the series shows that Light was not born remorseless. After relinquishing the notebook and losing his memories to temporarily avoid suspicion, Light demonstrates compassion, a reluctance to manipulate others, and an intense unwillingness to kill. Once his memories return, however, he reverts to his ruthless Kira persona and remains that way until his death. Death Note 37 Final In the anime, Light appears to reflect on his actions before his death. The degree of Light's hubris and ruthlessness varies with adaptation. In the manga, Japanese films, musicals, and anime (at least before the final episode), Light is steadfast in his decisions as Kira and rarely expresses any doubt or regret about his actions or utilitarian beliefs. An example of this is shown early on in the series when he resolves, quickly and without hesitation, to kill FBI agent Raye Penber for tailing him, despite Raye not being a criminal. However, in the final episode of the anime, Light, defeated by Near and in critical condition as he tries to evade capture, appears sorrowful as he reflects on his high school self, seemingly during the moment he picked up the notebook. His true emotions regarding this reminiscence, however, are left ambiguous.[5] Light's hubris and ruthlessness are especially downplayed in the drama and Netflix film adaptation. In these continuities, he appears less confident, demonstrates hesitation in killing the FBI agents investigating him, and even considers abandoning his mission when feeling cornered. Nevertheless, across adaptations, Light has consistently been portrayed as an idealist willing to go through extreme measures to defend his idea of justice. Advertisement History Light grew up in Japan with his family, which consists of his father, Soichiro Yagami, who is a member of the Japanese Task Force (an investigation team opposing Kira), his mother, Sachiko Yagami, and his younger sister, Sayu Yagami. At the start of the series, Light is a third-year high school student (12th Grade) at Daikoku Private Academy and also attends supplemental classes at Gamou Prep Academy in the beginning of the story. He later attends college at To-Oh University (東応大学, Tōō Daigaku). Plot Part I Finding the Death Note Light finds the Death Note Light discovers the Death Note. In the year 2003 (2006 in the anime), Light Yagami discovers a mysterious notebook on the ground at his school. Written on the cover are the words "Death Note". The Death Note's instructions state that if a human's name is written within it, that person shall die. Light is initially skeptical of the notebook's authenticity, but after experimenting with it, Light realizes that the Death Note is real. After putting much thought into whether or not he should continue using the notebook, he ascertains that no one else will be able to bear the burden of improving the world. Light then meets the previous owner of the Death Note, a Shinigami named Ryuk. He explains his reasons for dropping the Death Note in the Human World, and when it is Light's time to die, he will be the one to write Light's name in his notebook. Light then tells him of his goal of getting rid of all the evil people in the world, and ruling over it as God. LightConfident Light laughs at the notion of being caught. Light's killings reach a monumental scale, attracting the attention of the master detective known as L. The first conflict between Light and L happens over the television, beginning with the broadcast of Lind L. Tailor. L places Tailor as a decoy on television in order to trick Light, with the network stating that the broadcast is worldwide. LindDeathManga Light kills Tailor by writing his name down. Tailor provokes Kira by calling him "evil", and, in a rage, kills Tailor with a heart attack. Light thinks the ordeal is over, but the broadcast of Tailor is suddenly cut, and L's signature letter 'L' appears. Using a voice synthesizer, the real L announces that Lind L. Tailor was a decoy and a criminal on death row. He explains that Tailor's information was never made available to the public, so there was no way Kira could have killed him until now. L boldly taunts Kira, asking him to try to kill him, as Light stares at the TV, angrily shocked that he's been fooled. After several seconds, L learns that Kira needs the person's real name and face to kill the victim, otherwise Kira would have already killed him. L announces that the video was aired only in the Kanto area of Japan as a ploy to determine the location of Kira. L says that he is now speaking directly to Kira and tells Kira that he will catch him, then the broadcast ends. Lvs.Kira L and Light declare that they are righteous. As Light ponders over this, he accepts L's challenge to him. He also declares that he will find L and he will eliminate him. The two announce their intentions, and both declare that they are "justice", with Light needing to avoid suspicion and capture by L all while needing to kill him. Advertisement The FBI Agents Soon after, now working with the Japanese police, L begins to lead a Task Force alongside Light's own father, Soichiro, in order to expose and capture Kira.Light hacks into his father's computer without leaving a trace, and discovers that L and the Task Force speculate that Kira may well be a student. Light figures that considering one would be able to control the conditions of death using the Death Note, manipulating the time of death is possible as well. Light then begins killing criminals in one-hour increments in order to specifically contradict the "Kira is a student" theory, letting L know that Kira has access to police information, with Light's main goal in mind being the spawning of distrust among the police and L, as L will be bound to investigate the police now. When walking home from school, Light is informed of by Ryuk that someone is tailing him. In order to prevent him from being investigated, Light is determined to kill his stalker. Ryuk tells Light the purpose of the Death Note. A Shinigami gets extra life from killing humans with a Death Note, which is why a Shinigami can live for many years and cannot be killed in any other way. Then, Ryuk explains to Light that the Shinigami have eyes that allow them to see any human's real name and lifespan over their head. In addition, a Shinigami can make a deal with the owner of the Death Note to receive the "Shinigami Eyes" in exchange for half of that human's remaining lifespan, with Ryuk offering to make the deal. Light refuses the deal, stating that he needs to live for a long time in order to rule over his utopian world. Suddenly, Light has an idea about how to find out the FBI agent's name. He decides to use his stock criminals in order to find out how specific the details of death need to be. Light Yuri Date Light and Yuri on a date Light boards a bus with his date, Yuri, and Light's follower takes a seat behind the couple. Prior to the date, Light had written the name of Kiichiro Osoerda, having him hijack the bus, then leave the bus and die of an accident after seeing a phantom. Osoreda boards the bus. The man pulls out a gun and points it to the driver, taking the bus hostage. Yuri2 Light, Yuri and Penber on the bus Light prompts his follower to say something by passing Yuri a note which contains Light's plans to apprehend the busjacker. Light asks Raye to show him proof that he is not the busjacker's accomplice, forcing him to show Light his proof of being an FBI agent, along with his name, Raye Penber. Light drops a note, which prompts the busjacker to pick it up, only for the note to have been a snippet of the Death Note, meaning the busjacker can see Ryuk. In shock, the busjacker empties his gun and exits the bus, before dying in an accident. Back at Light's house, Ryuk asks him if he's going to write Penber's name down in the Death Note. Light tells him that it would look too suspicious if he does so immediately after they met. In addition, he wants Penber to show him the names and faces of every FBI agent sent to investigate the NPA. Light Slots Light follows Penber and gives orders with a transmitter. On December 27, 2003, Light goes to an underground section of the Shinjuku Station. Light figured out that he can write the date and cause of death in the Death Note without a name, and the Death Note will work when the name is added later. While wearing a hood to obscure his identity, Light appears behind Penber (unaware that it is Light) and tells Penber that he is Kira. Light threatens Penber by stating that non-compliance would lead to his death, the death of his love, and the deaths of his family. Slots The envelopes containing pages of the Death Note Light asks Penber if he's carrying a laptop, and if he has a file containing the names of all of the FBI agents in Japan. Penber says that he doesn't have a file like that, and Light hands him an envelope. He tells Penber to hold onto the envelope, take out the transmitter and put the earphones in. Over transmitter, Light leads Penber through a turnstile in the western entrance at 3:11 PM. Penber enters a train on the Yamanote Line at 3:13 and takes a seat. Light asks how many FBI agents there are, and Penber says that he thinks there are four groups, totaling twelve agents. Light says to call an agent that is ranked lower than him and ask for the names and faces of all agents sent to Japan. Penber uses his cell phone and calls an agent, and then asks him for the name and faces of the agents. Penber receives the FBI file at 3:21 PM, and Penber is the second FBI agent that receives it. Light tells Penber to take the contents out of the folder he gave him, and Penber takes out four envelopes with ten rectangular spaces cut out of the left side of each one. Light says to write down the names of the agents into the blocks on the folders. At 4:42 PM, when Raye exits the train, he dies of a heart attack while turning around and seeing Light. Light takes the files home and takes the pages of the Death Note out of their envelopes, revealing the times and causes of death for each agent. Each agent will receive the file and die at a different time. Advertisement Naomi Misora Light tempts Naomi Light speaks to Naomi. After the sudden death of Raye, Naomi Misora decides to take part in the Kira case herself. Having been told by Raye that he showed his FBI badge to someone during a bus-jacking, Naomi deduces that Kira must have been on the bus. In her attempts to contact the Japanese Task Force, she comes across Light Yagami. Light uses his father's status to his advantage, telling Naomi that he is Chief Yagami's son, which allows him to slowly win her trust. Cautious at first, she uses the false name Shoko Maki in order to protect herself until she can reach L. Naomi learns Light is Kira Naomi learns that Light is Kira. After he realizes that this was an alias from the way Ryuk laughed, Light finally gets Naomi to reveal her name by saying that he is a member of the Task Force and is actually working with L. Taking advantage of Naomi's emotional state, Light gives the possibility that she could join the Task Force and help catch her fiancé's murderer. Light says that he will need to see a form of identification before she can join, and Naomi shows him her driver's license. Using a piece of the Death Note, Light writes down Naomi's name, resulting in her death by suicide. Her body is never found due to the specifications made by Light in the Death Note. Advertisement Surveillance Cameras As Light arrives home, he finds the doorknob of his bedroom (which is usually lowered by a few millimeters) is strangely at the very top, plus the pencil lead placed on his door hinge is broken. Not only that, but his bluff, a piece of paper, was strangely put back in his door. This has Light believing that L has installed surveillance cameras and wiretaps within his room. Light then bribes Ryuk with apples, asking him to find where the surveillance cameras are. Light reveals he has hidden scandalous magazines and proceeds to browse through them in order to give off the impression to L that he is a normal teenager, and that the magazines were what he was hiding all along. During dinner, L has a message appear on TV, stating that the ICPO has dispatched 1500 investigators to Japan to investigate Kira, but Light sees through this bluff. When Light is about to study for his upcoming entrance exams, he has placed a snippet of the notebook and a mini-LCD TV within a potato chip bag (which contains a flavor which only he out of the rest of his family prefers). While studying, whenever Light places his hand in the potato chip bag, he actually checks for criminals' names using the mini-TV then writes down their names. The main idea is that L would see that criminals have died which Light could not have possibly see, being busy in his room, studying. With this trick, Light manages to kill two petty criminals. For the next few days, Light proceeds to kill more criminals, petty or not, in order to cover up the fact that petty criminals have died solely while he was studying. Eventually, the surveillance cameras get removed and Light plans on finding L through his father. Advertisement Meeting L Light performs his entrance exams, when he notices a student sitting strangely on his seat. He passes the exams, scoring perfectly, and is able to become a student of To-Oh University. Alongside another student who scored perfectly, who was the student sitting oddly earlier, he gives a speech. Noticing the strange behavior of this student, who named himself after the famous pop idol, Hideki Ryuga, Light feels annoyed at his constant chattering that concerns Light's character. Light Humiliated by L Light, frustrated over L having revealed himself. "Hideki Ryuga" then reveals himself to Light as L. Light is shocked by this and is attempting to stay calm around this supposed new friend he's made. When Light arrives home, he throws a tantrum, and explains L's strategy, that should Light write down L's name using the alias even with the off-chance that it's real, the real Hideki Ryuga will die (since Light will have subconsciously pictured Ryuga's face), and suspicion will be pointed towards him. Not only that, but even if Light finds out L's real name, this L could very well be a proxy and suspicion from the hypothetical real L will be pointed towards Light again, as the timing will still be too convenient. Light accepts this challenge from L, getting excited over this upcoming battle of wits. L asks Light to play tennis with him, and they do so, nearly evenly matched. During the tennis game, both of them ponder strategies. Light comes to the conclusion that L asked him to play tennis in order to lay the groundwork for future meetings which will essentially be tests; Light also plans on confirming that Ryuga is L with confirmation from the Task Force. After Light wins the intense tennis match, L reveals that he is suspicious of Light being Kira, with Light still being forced to put up the act and pretends to be shocked. Light comes to the conclusion that, with this act, L is attempting to prevent Light from meeting with the Task Force. They hang out together at a cafe afterward. At the cafe, L tests Light multiple times, with Light managing to evade L's psychological traps. L asks Light to help the Kira investigation; if Light is Kira, then L will be closer to him and there is more room for Light slipping up, and if he isn't Kira, then his great intellectual ability will be of use to the investigation. Light takes advantage of this by demanding that he meet the Task Force members to confirm L's identity in order for him to begin helping the investigation. Much to Light's surprise, L accepts. Soichiro collapses due to stress, and both Light and L visit him at the hospital. There, through Soichiro, Light manages to confirm that the L who appeared before him is, in fact, the real L. Advertisement The Second Kira On April 22, 2004 (2007 in anime), in a broadcast on Sakura TV, "Kira" sends tapes stating that if criminal reports stop, Kira will kill police officers and reporters, and then demands that the life of someone in charge of the Kira investigation be handed over—the Director's or L's. "Kira" says to choose one and reveal them in four days and that, because Kira knows the Director's face, there are no special requirements; however, if they should choose L, he must appear on Sakura TV and give a ten-minute speech. "Kira" says that they will decide if the person on the news is L, and if it is decided that he isn't, Kira will take the lives of several police officers as compensation. Light watches this broadcast, amused at the fact that someone else possesses a Death Note, likely with the Shinigami Eyes. Light figures this person is dangerous as they could tarnish Kira's reputation and their capture would be detrimental for Light, so Light figures he needs to join the Task Force in order to keep an eye on L as well as this fake Kira. Light Headquarters Light at the Task Force. A few days later, L asks Light to join the Task Force. Light arrives at the hotel and appears surprised at the small size of the Task Force, and L tells Light that there are a few outsiders who know what happens within the investigation and only one can contact L directly. Light thinks to himself that if everyone in the Task Force dies but one, the killer is revealed, so he must find out who the outsider with the information is. Light is told to look over the papers of the investigation and then watch the tape without taking notes or removing anything. After watching the tapes, Light says that there may be someone else with Kira's abilities, citing the difference in criminals killed, as well as the fact that some were killed immediately after revealing their faces. Light realizes that L would have told him his plan regardless of what he told L and that he set things up so that if Light didn't say there was another Kira, he would look suspicious, and if he did, he would help strengthen L's theory to the Task Force. L asks Light to help their case by pretending to be Kira and tells Light that only he is able to play this role, starting with writing a draft for the speech as Kira. Later, the tape is created and sent to various TV stations. The Second Kira responds with videos which contain indirect, and some rather direct, comments about Death Notes, Shinigami, and how they can meet. Light goes to Aoyama to find the Second Kira, but is unable to meet this Kira. However, due to having Shinigami Eyes, the Second Kira is able to identify Light as Kira because of her being unable to see Light's lifespan. Light hugs Misa Light hugs Misa, successfully having swayed her. After finding out his address, the Second Kira arrives at Light's house, and Light invites Misa to his room and asks her to explain her actions. Misa says that she wanted to meet Kira because her parents were murdered in front of her, and Kira killed the man who did it. Misa asks to be his girlfriend, admitting that she wouldn't even mind if he simply uses her. Light agrees, intending to kill her after she outlives her usefulness. However, Misa's Shinigami, Rem, promises to kill him if he ever harms Misa. Light finds Rem to be a massive threat, as having limited control over Misa would result in her doing something reckless, not to mention Misa's capture could result in Rem killing Light. Light has to now keep a gaggle of girlfriends so that his newfound relationship with Misa won't stand out, as L had already deduced that Kira and the second Kira have allied. Misa goes directly against Light orders and, instead of meeting two weeks after their first meeting as Light requested, Misa meets up with Light only two days following their first meeting. Light uses this opportunity to convince Rem to help him kill L, promising her that it's for Misa's happiness. Rem agrees to do so, and Light said that she must follow his command only when he tells her to. At campus, Light surprisingly meets up with L again, where L steals Misa's phone after taking advantage of a crowd. Misa is then taken away, with L revealing that he found DNA evidence in Misa's room pointing towards Misa being the second Kira. This is dangerous for Light, as Misa being the second Kira would point towards Light being the original Kira. Advertisement Imprisoned ChapterDN035 Light while incarcerated by L Light, now cornered by L, puts his master plan into action. Rem had already relinquished ownership of Misa's notebook to Light, wiping her memories and preventing her from confessing. Light then swaps the notebooks with their respective Shinigami, with Ryuk being attached to the notebook originally owned by Misa and Rem attached to Light's. Light places two fake rules in the notebook Rem is attached to, one being that when the notebook is destroyed, anyone who has touched the notebook will die, and, most importantly, whoever doesn't write names within the notebook within 13 consecutive days dies. Light instructs Rem to allow Kyosuke Higuchi to become the new owner of the Death Note she is attached to, then asks L to detain him. During his confinement, no criminals die, which strengthens the case for Light being Kira. Within seven days of confinement, Light gives up his ownership of his notebook, and consequently has all of his memories of being Kira wiped and altered. During his fifteenth day of confinement, criminals begin dropping dead again, and on his 50th day, the Task Force has L release Light and Misa. Soichiro then fakes an execution by shooting Light and Misa with a blank gun, which convinces L to release Light and Misa from their confinement as Misa would have killed Soichiro in this situation. Advertisement Yotsuba Light accepts L's offer to join the investigation team to hunt down Higuchi, who has taken up the mantle of Kira. During the investigation of Yotsuba, Light works under the alias "Light Asahi". ChapterDN045 Light, enraged at L for suspecting he is Kira, resorts to physical violence. L handcuffs him and Light together, displeasing Misa and Light. L suggests manipulating Misa in order to get information from her, but Light refuses, as he dares not to ever take advantage of someone's feelings. While Misa is resting in her hotel room, L acts lethargic about how catching Kira will be difficult, prompting Light to fight him.Months later, while L is sulking and not working on the case, Light finds a correlation between the killings and the growth of Yotsuba, having the investigation believe that Kira is either within Yotsuba or working behind Yotsuba, and also leads them to the conclusion that Kira can kill through means other than heart attacks. Keeping watch of the meetings held by the head of the Yotsuba members, Light objects to L letting the killings continue, and poses as L and decides to call Reiji Namikawa, who agreed to help L and postpone the killings. Misa eventually finds evidence pointing towards Kyosuke Higuchi being Kira. While L and the investigation team enacts the plan to take down Higuchi, Light keeps watch of the situation and follows L, eventually to the point where he is riding on a helicopter with L, and witnesses Higuchi's arrest. While the Task Force discovers the Death Note, Light touches it, regaining his memories as Kira once again. In order to claim ownership of the Death Note he is currently holding, Light kills Higuchi using a snippet of the notebook within his watch. L and the Task Force then find the 13-day rule, successfully clearing Light and Misa of being suspected, while L is still skeptical. Advertisement The End of L ChapterDN058 L's death Light instructs Misa to find her buried Death Note, which results in her regaining her memories. Light instructs Misa to kill L if she remembers his real name from when they were on campus, but Misa doesn't remember and so makes the Shinigami Eye deal again, which is what Light wanted in case Misa forgot L's name, as taking the Eye deal and halving her lifespan would pressure Rem. Light then instructs Misa to begin killing criminals again so that L would suspect Misa is behind the killings. This is in order to put Rem in a situation where she'd be forced to kill L in order to save Misa. Rem does indeed kill L and Watari, which results in her death, just as Light planned. After winning the battle with L and taking his persona, Light gains control of the Kira investigation team. This puts him on the safest ground as his role as a second generation L, covering his identity as Kira. For the next five years, by using L's database of criminal records, Light's judgments have become fiercer than ever. As a result, the world falls into a dark age in which essentially everyone now lives under the law of Kira. At the same time, Kira's support grows exponentially, and even entire nations proclaim their support for Kira. By the time the second arc begins, Kira has garnered the majority of the world's favor. Advertisement Part II Mello's Kidnappings After five years of everything going swimmingly, Takimura, the head of the NPA, gets kidnapped in exchange for the Death Note. At the same time, an FBI agent, John McEnroe, confronts Soichiro, and asks for the Death Note. This FBI agent also seeks cooperation from the Task Force to rescue Takimura from the kidnappers. Light feels obligated to get rid of the kidnappers as well as the American organization as soon as possible, as they are currently the only people besides the Task Force who know of the existence of the Death Note. Light kills Takimura so that they no longer have a bargaining chip to trade the Death Note for, and it wouldn't look suspicious as one could easily assume the kidnappers killed him. However, the kidnappers then announce that they have kidnapped Sayu Yagami, which puts Light under pressure. In order to get help, he contacts the organization which John McEnroe offered to have them to talk to, and Light talks to Near for the first time, who introduces himself as N and is aware of the previous L's death. L Number 2 Near letting Light know of him having knowledge of the previous L's death. Light tells Near the current situation and Near surveils the site of the trade using satellites. The exchange goes through, with the kidnappers gaining the notebook. Near decides that he should chase the kidnappers on his own, only for his plan to fail as Mello uses the Death Note to wipe out more than half his team. Light takes advantage of this incident to trade all that he knows about the notebook for information on the perpetrator of the kidnappings. Near tells Light that someone using the nickname Mello, who is using the Mafia, is behind the kidnappings, and Light has the Task Force investigate Wammy's House, informing Light of Mello's motives. The president calls Light, and Light figures out that Mello had blackmailed him. So, Light takes advantage of this to have the president organize a raid led by Yitzak Ghazanin. Light learns the location of Mello and the Mafia by taking control of the current Death Note owner and having him mail him their location. However, the raid fails thanks to the intervention of Sidoh, a Shinigami working with the Mafia. SoichiroDeath Soichiro dies Light then has Misa send a message to the Task Force as Kira, that Kira relinquished ownership of his Death Note to one of the members of the Task Force in order to attack the Mafia and regain the notebook. Light had expected Matsuda to gain ownership and make the Shinigami Eye deal, but, unfortunately for Light, Soichiro does so instead. The raid commences and they regain the Death Note, and Light tells them to confront Mello. Soichiro threatens Mello rather than killing him, giving Jose the opportunity to shoot Soichiro severely. Mello then blows up the base and escapes, but Soichiro manages to give out Mello's real name to Light. Soichiro then dies in the hospital, after seeing that Light's lifespan was not absent, proving to him that Light was not Kira. Advertisement The Battle with Near Fake rules? Near tries to make the Task Force members doubt Light. Light selects Demegawa as the Kira spokesperson, intending to spread Kira's word in order to gain more power to take down Near and Mello. Thanks in part to David Hoope's death and the battle with the Mafia, the United States submits to Kira and dissolves the SPK, the organization Near is running. Near, deducing that the second L is Kira, calls Light and claims that he has interrogated Mello, and that he learned that there are fake rules. Near disproves the 13-day rule, and gives pieces of evidence to the Task Force pointing towards the second L being Kira, instilling some doubt within the Task Force in an effort to turn them against the second L. Mello contacts Mogi and tells him to follow Mello to New York, which Mogi does so under the supervision of Light and the Task Force. However, Mello has Mogi go to the SPK's headquarters, which puts Light under extreme pressure as Mello and Near are constantly pressuring Mogi into spilling information. On one hand, if Light lets Mogi live, he might spill information that would be detrimental for Light, but if Light kills him, it'd only incriminate him. Luckily for Light, Mogi doesn't give away any information. However, as he can't guarantee that, and in order to kill off Near and Mogi, Light sends Demegawa and tons of other Kira followers to attack Near. However, Near uses L's inheritance to distract the crowd and escape. Near lies to the Task Force, claiming Mogi had died of a heart attack. This stirs suspicion against Light, which results in Aizawa giving Near lots of information, which has him believing that Light Yagami is the second L and Kira, while Mogi returns to the Task Force. Light now expects tighter surveillance now that Near turned the Task Force against him, so he has Misa relinquish ownership of her notebook to Teru Mikami, who kills Demegawa for running amok, testifying his worth. Mikami then selects Kiyomi Takada as the new Kira spokesperson, who coincidentally had a past relationship with Light. Light takes advantage of this to use Takada to talk to Mikami. He does this while satisfying the Task Force, under the guise that he is investigating her. As a result, the Task Force relocates their investigation back to Japan, with the SPK eventually following suit. During a meeting between Light and Takada, Mikami calls them, and Light manages to confirm to Mikami that Light is Kira, and Mikami confirms to Light that Mikami is the new Kira proxy via subtle communication. Light then says that all the Task Force's surveillance cameras and most of the wiretaps must be removed as per Kira's request. Light then privately reveals to Takada that he is Kira. For the rest of his meetings with Takada, Light and her communicated by writing notes as the Task Force placed a wire on Light. Light instructs Takada to tell Mikami to forge a fake notebook and use that fake to write down names in public, while he sends Takada the real names so she can do the killings. Light's incentive is that, for his final confrontation with Near, he expects Near to swap his notebook with a fake, which is why he's already preparing a fake. Light also has Mikami say things in public, suggesting Ryuk hasn't been following him. This way, when Near touches the Death Note, he won't think that there is no Shinigami because the notebook is fake. Light's plan goes perfectly, with Near's agent, Stephen Gevanni, having swapped the pages of Mikami's fake notebook. Near and light face off Near and Light subtly make declarations of their battle. Near, at some point following his relocation to Japan, calls Light to confirm his presence there under the pretense of cooperating in their investigation while subtly declaring his intent to challenge him. After Gevanni acquires the fake notebook, Near later calls the Task Force and informs them of a meeting Near wants to arrange in attendance with the SPK, taking place at the Yellow Box Warehouse. Light anticipates this meeting and revels in the idea that this meeting will be the day he can finally eliminate all his enemies and truly begin the creation of his new world. However, not too many days before the planned meeting, Takada suddenly gets kidnapped by Mello. Takada successfully manages to kill Mello, while Light kills Takada using a fire to remove any evidence. The meeting between the Kira Task Force and SPK commences two days later, and Mikami arrives during the meeting to write the names of everyone present in the notebook, save for Kira's. Having prepared a fake all along, Light had expected to win, as he had planned things out so that Mikami would bring the real one. However, it is revealed to be a fake. Near reveals that Mikami had actually written down Takada's name after her kidnapping, not knowing Light did the same. This allowed Near to seize the real notebook that Mikami had used to write down her name. DN 105 Light speech Light attempts to justify his actions to the Task Force and SPK. Light, after being exposed as Kira, attempts to deny it, but with his declaration of victory as well as the evidence Near provided, everyone is convinced Light is Kira. Light laughs maniacally and attempts to tell them the benefits of Kira's world, as well as trying to convince them that his intentions were unselfish and, thus, justified. However, Near responds by saying that everyone has a right to choose what they think is right or wrong, while Kira is simply an evil "mass murderer", killing people to selfishly force his personal utopia onto others. When Light scans the room to see what the others think, he is met with cold gazes that confirm their rejection of his new world. Light then decides to distract everyone in the room by presenting the possibility that the notebook brought from the task force could be fake. While mid-speech he swiftly tries to use the scrap of the note in his watch to kill Near. Matsuda responds by shooting Light, interrupting him then berates him for driving his own father to his death for his vision. Light then tries to continue to finish writing the name using his blood from the gunshot wound. Matsuda, enraged at Light, shoots at Light multiple times, leaving him severely injured. The task force then disarms Matsuda before he kills Light in his fit of rage and also takes the note scrap as well so it couldn't continue to be used. Advertisement Fate Manga Light's Death (MANGA) Humiliated, Light dies an agonizing death in the manga. Light is left incapacitated both physically and mentally. Light yells for Mikami to write down the names of everyone present, but Mikami responds by asking how he is supposed to kill them with a fake notebook. This brings Mikami to the realization that Light is not "God". Light becomes increasingly distraught and begins asking for help from Misa, only to be told that she isn't here. He then asks for Takada and is told that she is dead. In complete desperation, Light begs Ryuk to help him by killing everyone in the room, yet Ryuk reminds Light that he is on neither side. Ryuk fulfills his promise from the beginning: he writes "Light Yagami" in his Death Note, and Light futilely begs Ryuk to reverse the process. He begins to panic, repeating in his head "I don't want to die," before the Death Note finally takes effect, thus killing him. Advertisement Anime Light's Death Quietly escaping, Light passes away peacefully in the anime. Upon seeing Light in a wounded state after being shot, Mikami commits suicide by stabbing himself with his pen, causing a diversion for both the Task Force and the SPK. Although weakened and suffering from severe blood loss, Light uses the last of his strength to flee the warehouse.[6] Following Light's escape, Near tells Aizawa, Mogi, Ide, and Matsuda that there is no reason to pursue Light, given that there should be no more hidden Death Note pieces and Light's wounds would prevent him from getting far. Aizawa refuses to heed Near's orders and has his team follow Light. After Light settles in another warehouse to hide in, Ryuk writes Light's name in his notebook. As Light silently dies, an illusion of L appears before Light, mirroring a scene following L's defeat at Light's hands in episode 25. At the end of Death Note Relight 2: L's Successors, Aizawa and Matsuda are revealed to have found the warehouse Light has fled to; their expressions of shock imply that they have seen Light's body. Ohba said that Light was "a young man who could understand the pain of others" when he first encountered the Death Note. Ohba said that if Ryuk had never developed an interest in the human world, Light would have become "one of the greatest police leaders in the world" who, with L, worked against criminals. Ohba described Light's life as "ruined" once he obtained the Death Note, and that Light became a victim of the Death Note "in many ways". Ohba described Light as bearing good faith intentions and having a "very conceited" nature, as reflected in his "warped" "desire to be godlike," whilst bearing love for his family, and intending to transform the world into "a better place". Ohba added that he believed that debating whether Light's actions were good or evil is not "very important", though he personally sees Light as a "very evil" character. According to Ohba, Light sees Misa Amane, who he uses as an accomplice, as a "bad person" who killed non-criminals, so he acts emotionally cold towards her and manipulates her. Despite this, he keeps her alive even after her memories of being Kira have been removed for the second (and final) time. Light's surname "Yagami" includes the Kanji for "night" and "god", while his given name is written with the Japanese character for "moon". Ohba stated that his editor suggested the family name "Yagami", and did not feel "too concerned" about the meaning of the name. However, during the final scene in the manga, in which a group of Kira worshipers appear under a moonlit night sky, Obha stated he "liked" how the final scene ended up creating a "deeper significance" in the name. When asked about which character was most similar to himself, Ohba indicated Near and "maybe Light." Regarding Light, Ohba cited "because I did well in school." Obata said that Light was his second favorite human character and that he was not sure whether that was because he "liked" Light or because he drew "such an evil character" in a magazine for children. The anime added further emphasis on the rivalry between Light and L, to the point where Light continued to fixate on L even after his death. According to Light's voice actor, Mamoru Miyano, though Light never saw L as a friend, L was the only rival that could truly "fill his boredom." Additionally, while Light initially celebrated L's demise, he eventually felt as though "his soul had been taken from him", causing Kappei Yamaguchi, L's voice actor, to believe Light was primarily motivated to start using the Death Note out of boredom as opposed to wanting to change the world.[9] Design Obata said that he had "no trouble" designing Light as the character description presented to him: "a brilliant honors student who's a little out there," and was "clear and detailed." As the weekly serialization continued, Obata simplified the design by unconsciously removing "unnecessary" lines and felt that he became "better" at drawing Light. When Chapter 35 appeared and the editor informed Obata that Light lost his memories, Obata felt that he had to "forget everything he learned" and draw Light in a similar manner as he appeared in Chapter 1. Death note 60 page 005 Adult Light in the manga. He was typically assigned a "lack of color" by Obata. Obata said that he used "a lot of effort" to design Light's wardrobe. According to Obata, he encountered difficulty imagining the clothing of "a brilliant person," so he looked through fashion magazines. Obata envisioned Light as a "smart and formal guy" who wears formal shirts. Most of Light's clothing in Death Note is "fitted" and Obata avoided jeans. In pages where Light was drawn in color, such as magazine or volume covers for the manga, Obata assigned clear or "lack of a color" to Light. Lifeless eyes ep26 (2) Light's emotions were deliberately communicated through his eyes in the anime. Several creative decisions were made in the process of adapting Light for the anime. For instance, the color red was often assigned during scenes where Light demonstrates killing intent, especially during scenes where he is contemplating plans to kill his opponents.[10] There are several scenes where Light's eyes depict lifelessness, primarily representing his boredom,[11] though Miyano suggests the lifeless eyes may also represent underlying feelings of emptiness.[9] Trivia Light Nendoroid-0 A Light Nendoroid figure Light is one of the Death Note characters that were made into Nendoroid figures. The Light Nendoroid comes with small Death Note and a pen which he holds and three faces: a laughing face, an angry face, and a normal face. In the anime, certain characters take on stylized hair colors while the viewer hears their thoughts; Light's color is red. In Death Note Relight 1: Visions of a God, an unnamed Shinigami appears in the Shinigami Realm. This new Shinigami asks the others where the rogue Shinigami named Ryuk is. Some believe this unnamed Shinigami was created with the intention of having viewers connect him with Light as a sort of reincarnation, though this isn't canonically possible due to the existence of Mu. 7 - Copy Light's crucified position Light is portrayed in a crucified-like position on the twelfth and final manga cover. This position is mimicked by Light during the second ending sequence in the anime and again when he is portrayed as a secret Nendoroid figure for the Death Note Case File merchandise line.

But it's not enough, this world is still rotten, with too many rotten people. Somebody has to do this! And when I first got that notebook all those years ago, I knew I had to do it. No, I was the only one who could. I understood that killing people was a crime. There was no other way, the world had to be fixed! A purpose given to me! Only I could do it. Who else could have done it?! And come this far?! Would they have kept going?! The only one… who can create a new world… is me.” (Episode 37)Cuando Hideaki Sorachi supo que su obra se serializaría en la Weekly Shonen Jump, se preguntó si podría convertirse en el próximo Akira Toriyama: aparecer en la revista semanal de manga shonen más popular de Japón y crear el manga más popular de la revista… Su sueño nunca se hizo realidad. El manga que destrozó su sueño en aquel entonces, un nuevo manga que lideró la lista de las series más populares de la Weekly Shonen Jump durante varios números tras su serialización, fue *Death Note* de Takeshi Obata. Este manga no solo fue popular, sino que también creó un villano pocas veces visto en la historia del manga shonen: Light Yagami. Sus acciones fueron atroces, pero al mismo tiempo estableció un conjunto de valores extraños. Este personaje, que ha aparecido en manga, anime, películas de acción real, radionovelas y obras de teatro, es un villano inolvidable. Crédito de la imagen: renote El manga de Death Note consta de 12 volúmenes (2003). Obra original de Tsugumi Ohba, ilustraciones de Takeshi Obata.Crédito de la imagen: Amazon Light Yagami parece casi un triunfador desde el momento en que entra en la historia. Tiene una familia perfecta, excelentes calificaciones y una apariencia excepcional. Es el protagonista impecable de un manga shonen. Si hablamos de los tres elementos más populares de la Weekly Shonen Jump: la amistad, el esfuerzo y la victoria, veremos que Light Yagami está casi completamente fuera de lugar en la Shonen Jump: todos quieren ser sus amigos porque destaca entre la multitud, todo parece ser fácil para él y la victoria es prácticamente su talento innato. No necesita ser atado con pesas ni someterse a un entrenamiento estricto para ser naturalmente talentoso; tampoco tiene ningún odio irreconciliable ni trauma emocional, pero estas no son las mayores diferencias entre él y Gintoki, Johnny Joestar o Sawada Tsunayoshi. Obra de teatro de Death Note (2019)Crédito de la imagen: HORIPRO STAGE Light Yagami no tiene dificultades que superar ni enemigos que derrotar, pues es el cerebro detrás de todo, la némesis de la mayoría de los personajes de la serie. Desde el principio, Light Yagami es el héroe, el villano y el motor de la trama de *Death Note*. Toda la obra es su escenario, y cuando no está presente, la atención se desvía. Las pocas subtramas de *Death Note* también están lejanamente relacionadas con Light Yagami, principalmente sobre cómo los personajes que se rebelan contra él escapan de su destino irreversible, cómo conspiran para derrotarlo o cómo, sin saberlo, se convierten en víctimas de sus últimos planes. Adaptación dramática japonesa de "Death Note" (2015)Crédito de la imagen: hominis La adaptación cinematográfica de *Death Note: El último nombre* (2006)Crédito de la imagen: dTV Este tipo de personajes negativos no son algo nuevo en el manga shonen. Cuando "Little Boxer" causó furor en todo el país en la década de 1970, el protagonista, Joe Yabuki, era un villano en toda regla. Era arrogante y desdeñoso de la tradición del boxeo, un espíritu rebelde que caló hondo entre las clases bajas durante el período de rápido crecimiento económico de Japón. Sin embargo, Joe tenía muchos motivos para estar insatisfecho, mientras que Light Yagami no; ¿mencioné que también tenía un padre jefe de policía sobreprotector? Este hijo mayor perfecto de una familia de clase alta, un individuo supuestamente de "alta clase", se sentía como un prisionero en el paraíso: sus valores "justos" lo ataban. Versión anime de Light YagamiCrédito de la imagen:エントピ Esta es una de las razones por las que Light Yagami es tan memorable. Como protagonista de un manga shonen que alcanza la victoria (su objetivo) mediante la amistad (apoyo externo) y el trabajo duro (motivación interna), puede tener metas elevadas, pero no necesariamente valores claros, y mucho menos la disposición a usar cualquier medio para lograrlas. Kenshin Himura, de *Swordsman Online*, cree en la no violencia. En una sociedad que entra gradualmente en un período de paz y prosperidad, Himura, indiferente a los asuntos mundanos y sin grandes ambiciones en la vida, probablemente pasará su vida como una persona común y corriente, oculta en lo más profundo del mundo. Al igual que Himura, Light Yagami, tras su vida sin rumbo, también posee un conjunto de valores ocultos. Sin embargo, Light Yagami cree en la justicia vigilante, en el castigador supremo que combina los roles de juez, policía y verdugo: él mismo. Crédito de la imagen: Noticias de cine de la CIA Por lo tanto, no necesita la amistad, ni cree en el dicho "Entre tres personas que caminan juntas, debe haber una que pueda enseñarme". Otro aspecto memorable de Light Yagami es su extremo egocentrismo. Un personaje tan egocéntrico suele ser retratado como el enemigo de un protagonista que valora la amistad en el manga shonen: la escena de un grupo de héroes frente a un rey demonio está profundamente arraigada en la cultura popular. Pero en *Death Note*, el narcisista es el único protagonista de la historia, y a lo largo del extenso desarrollo de la misma, Light Yagami casi siempre se adhiere al principio de "Yo soy lo único". Para él, los demás personajes son meros obstáculos o herramientas que puede utilizar. Lo que es aún más infame es que no solo consume la vida de otras personas para salvarse a sí mismo, sino que también explota la bondad, el amor y la afinidad que otros sienten por él, haciendo que estas víctimas inocentes crean en él hasta su muerte. Película de acción real de Netflix: Light YagamiCrédito de la imagen: Noticias de cine de la CIA Muzan Kibutsuji, el Señor Demonio de *Demon Slayer*, también practica esta creencia en la absoluta importancia personal. Sin embargo, la maldad de Light Yagami supera incluso la de Muzan, quien considera al mundo como algo insignificante. Muzan puede matar a sus peones a su antojo y sin motivo alguno, pero eso no es más que la máxima expresión de su lealtad hacia sí mismo. Light, en cambio, engaña casi por completo las emociones de todos, llegando incluso a negarlas por completo; por ejemplo, al considerar el sentido de la justicia de su íntegro padre como mera pedantería anticuada. Esto no solo obliga a otros personajes de la historia a afrontar crisis tanto espirituales como físicas, sino que también conmueve profundamente a los lectores. Crédito de la imagen:デスノート(nota de muerte) En este cómic, un villano tan malvado encuentra un final trágico. Su obsesión consigo mismo lo lleva a luchar lastimosamente y a gritar "No quiero morir" incluso en sus últimos momentos, cuando apenas dos instantes antes se había dirigido con magnanimidad ante todos, autoproclamándose un dios del nuevo siglo. La justicia por mano propia que lo obstaculiza es, en cierto modo, una forma de justicia que ignora las injusticias de la realidad (menospreciando a la víctima). Este contraste extremo, a su vez, representa el castigo final del autor para Yagami: después de que Nia, en representación de las fuerzas del orden, declara que no tiene intención de quitarle la vida, solo el autor puede dar fin a este personaje, y a un final espantoso y vergonzoso. Crédito de la imagen: iki-anime Curiosamente, en la versión del anime para televisión, el final de Light Yagami fue suavizado: escapó del almacén del que era imposible escapar y finalmente murió en paz en una fábrica abandonada con graves heridas de bala. El anime incluso incluyó algunas escenas originales, introspectivas y redentoras (incluso vio a su rival fallecido y a su yo de la escuela secundaria), lo que permitió que Light Yagami muriera con una expresión de paz. Este final suave probablemente sería inaceptable para muchos espectadores que ya no soportaban a Light Yagami. De hecho, incluso la versión cinematográfica de acción real protagonizada por Tatsuya Fujiwara como Light Yagami tenía un arreglo similar: antes de que Yagami obtuviera la Death Note, la película añadió mucha más trama, aparentemente tratando de sentar las bases de los factores psicológicos detrás de los actos malvados posteriores de Yagami. Crédito de la imagen:ち ゃ ん velocidad Sin embargo, independientemente de las adaptaciones al anime, la película de acción real o la película de acción real de Netflix, estas adiciones, ya sea que intenten explicar o incluso glorificar las acciones de Light Yagami, no pueden superar el impacto directo del propio manga. Si Light Yagami es el único protagonista de este oscuro manga, y su interpretación distorsionada de la justicia, junto con su autoproclamada divinidad disfrazada de justicia, impregna *Death Note*, entonces estos diseños, supuestamente destinados a enriquecer el "personaje" de Light Yagami, resultan superfluos. Como se mencionó anteriormente, Light Yagami no tiene motivos psicológicos ni físicos que lo impulsen a oponerse al mundo; es su deseo egoísta de transformar este mundo, cambiado contra su voluntad, en su posesión. Por lo tanto, mostrar más de la debilidad humana de Light Yagami es simplemente lágrimas de cocodrilo. Crédito de la imagen:エリアブルー Koji Yoshida era el editor a cargo de Death Note en aquel momento.Crédito de la imagen: peatix Originalmente, Koji Yoshida, editor de la revista Weekly Shonen Jump, pensó que el proyecto de Death Note trataría sobre distintos personajes que encuentran la Death Note y toman decisiones diferentes. Sin embargo, el guionista Tsugumi Ohba insistió en que debía ser "la historia de un chico que encuentra la Death Note y lo que le sucede". Un chico que debería haber sido despreocupado desarrolla gradualmente la idea de cambiar el mundo tras adquirir habilidades incomprensibles para la gente común. La insistencia de Ohba no carecía de fundamento, ya que la situación de Light Yagami podría ocurrirle a cualquiera. Si la historia se dividiera en las reacciones de diferentes protagonistas ante la Death Note, la intención original de explorar la tentación y las debilidades humanas se diluiría debido a las distintas personalidades de los personajes. Crédito de la imagen: Twitter Si pudieras decidir arbitraria e irresponsablemente la vida y la muerte de otros, ¿qué elegirías? Ante esta pregunta crucial, Light Yagami dio la respuesta más común: elegir la opción que más le satisficiera. Comparado con otros personajes típicos de la historia, dispuestos a morir por la justicia, Light Yagami es el personaje más cercano a los lectores (especialmente a los jóvenes ingenuos). Quienes idolatran a los protagonistas con superpoderes en el manga pueden no resistir la tentación de convertirse en superhéroes. Y "defender la justicia", una tarea que parece estar en un plano moral superior y que puede dejar de lado la pedantería, es precisamente la misión de los individuos con superpoderes. A través del personaje de Light Yagami, Tsugumi Ohba critica duramente otras obras del manga shonen, obligando a los lectores a reflexionar sobre las teorías del manga shonen de que "el mal debe ser castigado" y "los héroes deben cambiar el mundo". Light Yagami es uno de los mayores villanos de la historia del anime, y también uno de los personajes más realistas. Incluso después del final de Death Note, no murió. Su expresión exagerada y arrogante aún pervive en diversos memes. Y lo que es más importante, quizás algún día sucumbamos a la tentación que cambiará nuestras vidas, y en ese momento, Light Yagami resucitará."Hay varios fantasmas en este mundo: Los fantasmas que no muestran su apariencia y hacen travesuras... Fantasmas que se llevan a los niños... Los fantasmas que se comen los sueños... Fantasmas que succionan sangre, y... los fantasmas que se la pasan mintiendo. Un fantasma mentiroso puede ser problemático. Él, a diferencia de los demás fantasmas, es mucho más resistente: A pesar de que no entiende los sentimientos de las personas, finge ser un humano como si nada; A pesar de que nunca le ha dado hambre, come; A pesar de que ni le interesa, se esfuerza en el estudio; A pesar de que nunca ha amado a un amigo, cultiva la amistad. Si esa clase de fantasma se me aparece, quizás yo sería atrapado y devorado. Porque ese fantasma... soy yo." L L 「エル, Eru?」 cuyo verdadero nombre es L Lawliet 「エル＝ローライト, Eru Rōraito?」 es el misterioso detective que toma la misión de atrapar a Kira. Aunque en un principio se desconoce su rostro y nombre, a lo largo de la serie acaba presentándose ante otros personajes, desvelando así su extraña personalidad y convirtiéndose en uno de los personajes principales de la serie.Name Touta Matsuda (松田 桃太, Matsuda Touta) Alias Taro Matsui (松井 太郎, Matsui Tarō) Taichiro Yamashita (山下 太一郎, Yamashita Taichirō) Matsu (by Misa)Gender Male Blood type B Date of birth December 14, 1978 (1981 in anime) Age 25-26 (pre-timeskip) 30-31 (post-timeskip) 34 (post-series oneshot) 40 (Never Complete One-shot) Height 174 cm (5' 8½") Weight 59 kg (130 lbs)I don’t know if Kira is good or evil. And I’m serious when I say I’d give my life to capture Kira. But I also think that Kira is fighting against evil. Touta Matsuda ("Acknowledgment") Touta Matsuda (松田 桃太, Matsuda Tōta) is a young member of the NPA and the Japanese Task Force. Matsuda has black hair and brown eyes. His hair hangs over his ears with bangs that hang primarily above his right eye. After the time skip his hair is shorter, though there is more hair covering his forehead. He has fair skin and is of average height. Matsuda represents the everyman archetype, serving as a reflection of the audience's perspective. This is especially evident in his conflicting views on Kira throughout the series, as well as his role as a young police officer in the Kira investigation. Matsuda's police skills are lacking in experience, and at times, particularly in the beginning of the series, he somewhat impedes the investigation process. Much to the irritation of his peers, his tendency to impulsively take risks can get him into tricky situations, as evidenced by the time he infiltrated Yotsuba and had to fake his own death to get out.[2] Members of the Task Force, such as Ryuzaki and Shuichi Aizawa, seem to view him as a reckless, naive young detective lacking seriousness for his work. Despite not having much experience in the NPA, Matsuda has proven to be useful or even crucial to the success of a mission, particularly after the timeskip, in which he helped bring down the Mafia members who were holding the Death Note. Showing great proficiency in his almost instant reactions to tight situations, Matsuda has demonstrated skill in the field of infiltration both as Misa Amane's manager, Taro Matsui (松井 太郎, Matsui Tarō), and in the faces of the Yotsuba Group. Despite his naive personality, Matsuda maintains loyalty to the Task Force through many dangerous situations and commits to the NPA after the Kira case is solved. He is also totally devoted to Soichiro Yagami, who appears from the beginning of the series to have taken young Matsuda under his wing. Matsuda also has various interests and talents that have proven useful to the Kira investigation, such as often watching television and staying up to date with what is popular in the media. Remarkably, his television knowledge served to be a resourceful asset to the investigation team, especially during the Yotsuba arc. He is a skilled shot, shown when shooting the notebook out of the hand of a Mafioso without killing him,[3] and shooting the pen out of Light Yagami's hand when he attempts to write Near's real name on a hidden piece of the Death Note.[4] In spite of his recklessness, Matsuda's impulsivity has manifested as moments of bravery that has benefited the investigation, even at the risk of his own life. When it becomes clear that Kira is targeting not just criminals but also the people who are after him, Matsuda is one of the few of the originally large Kira Investigation Team willing to stay and risk his life in order to catch Kira.[5] Later, he takes big risks in infiltrating the Yotsuba Group building and eavesdropping on the secret meeting held by some of its executives as they discuss how to use Kira's powers for their own ends.[2] He even agrees to act as bait in order to expose Kyosuke Higuchi as the Yotsuba Kira, even though he is aware that any slip-up in the plan may cost him his life.[6] Years later, when Mello acquires the Death Note, and becomes a threat to Soichiro and the other members of the Kira investigation team, Matsuda exposes his identity [7] and even offers to shorten his lifespan for the sake of neutralizing Mello as a threat.[8] Matsuda manga personality Matsuda struggles with fully denouncing Kira. Matsuda has sympathy for Kira's followers and thinks Kira had good intentions at heart but simply went about them the wrong way. Being able to empathize with those who consider themselves weak, Matsuda feels duty-bound as a police officer to capture Kira, but also sees some of the benefits of a new world order where crime and war are almost non-existent.[9] His positive relationship with Light, and by extension, his sympathetic view of Kira, seems all but forgotten after Light's confession, when Matsuda, out of anger and betrayal, shoots Light several times at the warehouse. His anger is partly caused by Light's lack of regret about his father's death. Nevertheless, even by the end of the series, Matsuda wonders if he and his colleagues did the right thing in stopping Kira, especially after the world returns to the state it was before Kira came into the picture.[10] During his first ICPO meeting, which was centered around the recent Kira case, Matsuda had no knowledge about the "L" figure the ICPO turned to help to for the Kira case, with Soichiro Yagami, the chief of the Task Force, explaining L to him. During one of the Task Force's first meetings, Matsuda expresses his reasons as to why Kira may be in the right, only for his points to be shut down by the evident disapproval of every other member. After the meeting, Soichiro proceeded to talk to Matsuda about him speaking up, also assuring Matsuda that bringing up the reasons why Kira isn't in the wrong entirely was not really a necessarily wrong course of action to take. After the 12 FBI agents who were sent by L to investigate Kira were killed, a large portion of the Task Force had quit the investigation. However, Matsuda, along with Soichiro, Mogi, Ide, Ukita, and Aizawa, was one of the few people to have remained. Matsuda, along with the rest of the remaining members of the Task Force, had frequent meet-ups with L and Watari through a private, five-star hotel, where L explained his theories as well as his plans and defenses against Kira. From here on out, Matsuda adopted the alias, "Matsui". Throughout the investigation, Matsuda has been chastised by L and the Task Force for his somewhat juvenile view on the investigation. When Light and Misa cleared their memories, Matsuda was quick to accept that Kira is not among them. During the time of the Yotsuba Kira as Kira, Matsuda wanted to be more useful for the investigation and so, while posing as Misa's manager, decides to head to the Yotsuba building and overhears useful information, but blunders and ends up being caught by the members. He proposes to have Misa appear in their commercials as an alibi for being here. While stalling, Matsuda manages to get in contact with L, who informs Matsuda to fall off the building and fake his death in order to escape them. After a few hours, when Misa and her friends arrived to satisfy the members of Yotsuba, Matsuda, acting drunk, did a headstand on the edge of the balcony and "accidentally" fell off, only for Wedy and Soichiro to catch him using a mattress, while Aiber poses as his "dead" body, thus ensuring Matsuda's safety. Luckily, with his return, he had managed to gain info regarding the investigation. After the Task Force had learned who the third Kira is, Matsuda played a pivotal part of the final plan, which involved him being featured on a Sakura TV talk show, where he plans to reveal Kira's identity, and "accidentally" reveals his face. This forces Higuchi to try and find out Matsuda's real name to attempt to kill him, with L attempting to find out how Higuchi kills, but to no avail. Higuchi, frustrated, goes directly up to the show, but he is eventually caught by L and the Task Force, where they successfully find the Death Note. After L was killed, the Task Force now listens to Light as the new L. Five years later, Mello kidnaps Sayu Yagami in order to get a hold of the Death Note. During Light's plan to seize Mello and regain the Death Note, he has the Task Force gain his Death Note, and plans on having Matsuda make the deal for the Shinigami Eyes. However, Soichiro offers to do it in place of Matsuda, and they attack Mello's base. After Soichiro's death, despite Near's evidence for Light being Kira, Matsuda makes a conscious effort to believe otherwise, being excited when something proves Light isn't Kira, refusing to believe he is. Life Spans Matsuda Mikami views Matsuda's lifespan During the final confrontation taking place at the Yellow Box Warehouse, Matsuda and the remaining members of the Task Force witnessed Near's plan to take down Kira, finally proving Light is Kira once and for all. Matsuda stopped Light from killing Near with a Death Note scrap hidden in his watch by shooting him several times, and nearly killed him before the Task Force members wrestled his gun away from him. A year after Light's death at Ryuk's hands, Matsuda discussed his theory that Near used the Death Note on Mikami in order to implicate Light, but Ide tells him that his theory may be biased as it stemmed from Matsuda's fondness for Light. In Never Complete One-shot, Matsuda was one of the few people that was able to see Ryuk who goes along with Minoru Tanaka's plan of selling the Death Note. While Ryuk was holding one of Minoru's message in front of Sakura TV's camera, Matsuda had recklessly charged in a live broadcast to tell the Japanese citizens to not buy Kira's power, while showing his police badge to imply any Japanese citizen that buys the Death Note would be arrested, and would be hoping that the Japanese government would take this issue seriously; this action had angered Matsuda's superiors as Matsuda's actions had made the issue at hand more believable. Matsuda was later scolded by his superiors, where Matsuda was told that the Japanese government would never be able to purchase the Death Note, and was later assigned to desk duty to keep him away from the media. AdvertiseObata described Matsuda as "hard to predict and thus hard to draw." Obata said that Matsuda's character concept consisted of an "average young detective" and that Matsuda's character had "nothing unique about his features and his actions weren't consistent, so I didn't like him. [laughs]" Obata added that he was a "Matsuda-type" person and therefore did not like seeing "my own inconsistency" in Matsuda. Obata described Matsuda as the sole character who "looks younger" during the Near and Mello arc. In the anime, certain characters take on stylized hair colors while the viewer hears their thoughts; Matsuda's color is yellow. Quotes “You guys hit at the same time.

Light Yagami 「夜神月, Yagami Raito?」 es el protagonista principal de la serie. Fue el primer hijo de Soichiro y Sachiko Yagami, además es el hermano mayor de Sayu Yagami. Fue propietario de la Death Note. Light encuentra la Death Note y la utiliza para matar a los delincuentes que principalmente aparecían en las noticias, luego comenzó a matar criminales. Después pasó a ser conocido en Japón bajo el nombre de Kira 「キラ, Kira?」 (basado en la pronunciación japonesa de la palabra inglesa Killer, "asesino"). Se unió a la policía para acercarse a su enemigo L y acabar con él. Al final, es asesinado por la Death Note de Ryuk el 28 de enero de 2010. Anuncio Apariencia Light fue un joven de aspecto físico algo frágil, bastante delgado pesando tan solo 54kg y de alta estatura, llegando a medir 179cm. Tenía el cabello castaño, un tanto largo y desarreglado. Sus ojos eran de color marrones y de cejas finas. Él considera que es muy guapo, un rasgo observado por Misa Amane y Kiyomi Takada. Sus atuendos fueron variando a lo largo de la serie; el más característico consistía en su uniforme escolar que estaba compuesto de una camisa blanca, saco y pantalones marrones en tonalidades claras, zapatos marrones oscuro y una corbata color bordo. Luego de obtener la Death Note, comienza a vestir distintas combinaciones de camisetas con mangas largas y pantalones principalmente en colores neutros. Como miembro de la Fuerza Especial de Investigación, era habitual el uso de trajes en colores claros y neutros.

Tiene 17 años al inicio del anime y del manga, a pesar de ser joven, confia en su propio sentido de la lógica y creatividad como es en lo que respecta a los demás. Al comienzo de la historia se nos presenta como una persona que a pesar de su inteligencia y de sacar buenas notas en su escuela, está frustrado por la iniquidad que habita en el mundo. Creyendo que el mundo está "podrido", desea un medio por el cual pueda promulgar su justicia y voluntad para purgar el mundo de todo mal. Light usa la Death Note con el único fin de limpiar al mundo de la delincuencia y las injusticias. La meta final de Light es crear un mundo que esté libre de criminales y que esté poblado sólo por personas que el halla juzgado como responsables, trabajadoras y de bien, convirtiéndose así mismo en el "Dios del nuevo mundo". Sin embargo, a pesar de lo noble de sus propósitos, sus métodos están lejos de ser aprobados por la sociedad y las autoridades, considerándolo un asesino en serie maniático e infantil, que sólo busca satisfacer su propio ego. Light es un hombre decidido y directo con lo que piensa, no importándole en lo absoluto manchar sus manos con sangre ajena de las personas que ha matado. Esta acción concluye al final que él es capaz hacer lo que sea con tal de lograr su cometido siendo esta una de las principales causas de su corrupción como persona. Light proclama su victoria Light proclama, con sadismo, su victoria ante L en su tumba después de ser sepultado (escena más tarde eliminada) Conforme utiliza más la Death Note, Light se va tornando más despiadado y retorcido, al punto de, no solo tener falta de empatía, compasión o amor hacia los demás, sino que también, va desarrollando un lado manipulador de su personalidad donde inclusive llega al grado de usar a su propia familia y a personas relacionadas con él para cumplir sus propósitos en algo que él considera lo más correcto. A lo largo de la serie, Light está constantemente intentando evadir la sospecha de L y otros detectives, manteniendo en secreto tanto como le sea posible su identidad como "Kira" y la limpieza del mundo de la delincuencia. El hecho de que se considere así mismo un Dios y el que sea conocedor de la ley, también agrega a su noción distorsionada de la realidad de que sólo él es el más adecuado para juzgar a la humanidad y dirigirla para que siga un curso moral adecuado, desarrollándose en él un narcisismo extremista donde no se preocupa por otros más que por él mismo, una fuerte megalomanía y una gran arrogancia la cual queda de manifiesto una vez es descubierto. Al final de la historia, cuando es descubierto finalmente, Light intenta justificar sus acciones en base a la situación del mundo al momento de la historia, no obstante Near no tarda en describirlo como un asesino psicópata que ha utilizado un arma tan mortífera para la humanidad que el hecho de no sentirse horrorizado ante ello, lo perturba. Al verse arrinconado y desesperado tanto en el manga como en el anime se deja ver que Light es alguien que al sentirse superado tiene miedo de morir tal como se demuestra en el manga cuando Ryuk escribe su nombre pensando que lo ayudaría a asesinar a los agentes cuando el Shinigami demostró que no estaba de su lado lo cual lleva a Light entrar en pánico ante la inminencia de su propia muerte maldiciendo e insultando a Ryuk antes de morir por un ataque cardíaco. Anuncio Visión General Ohba dijo que Light era "un hombre joven que podía entender el dolor de los demás" cuando fue el primero en encontrar el Death Note. Ohba dijo que si Ryuk nunca hubiera llegado al mundo humano, Light se hubiera convertido en "uno de los mayores líderes de policía del mundo" que, con junto a L, trabajaría en contra de los delincuentes. Ohba describe la vida de Light como "ruinas" una vez que obtuvo el Death Note, ya que se convirtió en una víctima de la libreta "de muchas maneras". Ohba describió a Light como alguien que tiene intenciones de buena fe y con un carácter "muy vanidoso". Ohba también describe a Light como tener un "deformado deseo de ser divino," teniendo amor por su familia y con la intención de transformar el mundo en "un lugar mejor". Ohba agregó que creía que el debate sobre si las acciones de Light fueron buenas o malas, "no es muy importante". Ohba dice que personalmente ve a Light como un personaje "diabólico". C7cebb45427c6540b78adc86c3879409be9b8dae hq Según Ohba, Light ve a Misa Amane, quien utiliza como cómplice, como una "mala persona" quien mató a personas, por lo que actúa emocionalmente frío hacia ella y le manipula. A pesar de esto, ella sigue con Light incluso después de que han perdido sus recuerdos de ser el segundo Kira. Ohba dijo que su editor sugirió el nombre de la familia "Yagami" de Light. Ohba dijo que él no se sentía "muy preocupado" sobre el significado del nombre (el kanji es "noche" y "Dios"); dijo que después de que él creó la escena final en el manga, le "gustaba" que la escena creada tendría un "significado profundo" en el nombre. Anuncio Diseño del personaje Obata dijo que no tenía "ningún problema" en diseñar a Light como la descripción del personaje presentada a él, "un brillante estudiante que está un poco por ahí" fue "clara y detallada". A medida que continuaba la serialización semanal del manga, Obata había simplificado el diseño quitando inconscientemente líneas "innecesarias" y consideró que fue "mejor" el plano de Light. Cuando apareció el capítulo 35 y el editor informó a Obata que Light perdió sus recuerdos, Obata sintió que tenía que "olvidar todo lo que aprendió" y sacar a Light de manera similar como apareció en el capítulo 1. Normalmente le fue asignada una "falta de color" por Obata. Obata dijo que hizo con "mucho esfuerzo" el diseño de Light. Encontró dificultades para imaginar la ropa de "una persona brillante", por lo que buscó a través de revistas de moda. Imaginó a Light como un "tipo inteligente y formal" que viste camisas formales. La mayoría de la ropa de Light en Death Note está "equipado" y evita pantalones vaqueros. Al diseño del color del libro, Obata asignó colores a personajes de "la atmósfera correcta." Obata había asignado claro o "falta de un color" a Light. Cuando se le preguntó sobre qué personaje era más similar a sí mismo, Ohba dijo que era Near y "tal vez Light". Obata dijo que Light era su segundo personaje humano favorito y que no estaba seguro si eso fue porque le "gustaba" Light o porque era "un diabólico personaje" en una revista para niños. Anuncio Muerte Matsuda dispara a Light Matsuda dispara a Light. Matsuda tiro de Gracia Matsuda a punto de darle el tiro de gracia a Light. En el anime Light es atacado por la policía cuando es acorralado y detenido por ser el principal Kira cuando Light intenta escribir el nombre de N en un pedazo de la Death Note (en el episodio 37° y último) para matarlo, el agente Matsuda se encarga dispararle hasta acabar vaciando el tambor de su revólver, todas las balas (excepto la última, que intenta llegar a la cabeza de Light) aciertan y hieren gravemente a Light, quien pierde mucha sangre y sufre un gran dolor corporal y sentimental, en su caso una persona normal estaría muerta, pero Light no puede morir si no es por la Death Note de Ryuk (explicado en el primer episodio). Light, herido, intenta hacer que Mikami escriba sus nombres, pero este no puede hacer nada. Mikami, después se suicida, haciendo que Light corra lejos hasta perder a la policía, con lo que le queda de vida llega a otro almacén abandonado, se acuesta en unas escaleras sufriendo su agonía. Ryuk decide acabar de una vez con la vida de Light, justificándolo diciendo que sabe que si la policía llega y lo atrapa, lo meterían a la cárcel de por vida, y que él no quiere quedarse ahí esperando a que Light se pudra en la cárcel, y que es muy aburrido pasársela viendo a alguien en prisión sin hacer nada, así que, sin querer sufrir mas aburrimiento, Ryuk mata a Light, escribiendo su nombre en su Death Note lo que acaba con su vida con un paro cardíaco a la edad de 23, el 28 de enero de 2010 (2013 en el anime). En la versión del manga, Light es incapacitado física y mentalmente. Light grita para que Mikami anote los nombres de todos los presentes, pero Mikami responde preguntando cómo se supone que va a matarlos con una Death Note falsa. Esto trae a Mikami a la conclusión de que Light no es "Dios", llamándolo escoria. Light se vuelve cada vez más angustiado y comienza pidiendo ayuda de Misa, sólo para que Aizawa le diga que ella no está aquí, luego le pide ayuda a Takada (la cual el mismo había matado) y Near le responde que esta muerta. Arrastrándose, llega a los pies de Ryuk y Light le ruega que escriba sus nombres, tras estar silencioso Ryuk acepta escribir en su Death Note, los policías entran en pánico y le disparan en vano a Ryuk dejando que las balas lo atreviesen sin dañarlo. Light se mofa de Near diciéndole que debió haberlo matado mientras que Near ni se inmuta. Ryuk le corrige a Light diciéndole que él era quien iba a morir. Light de nuevo en pánico se abalanza hacia Ryuk solo para atravesarlo, al terminar de escribir, Ryuk le dice queRyuk le responde que deje de ser patético y que él sabe mejor que nadie que no puede interrumpirse la muerte de aquel que tenga su nombre escrito y se despide, Light tiene un flashback del día que conoció a Ryuk en el que después de decirle la parte de que los que usen la Death Note no irán al cielo o al infierno, Light deduce que no existen tales lugares y Ryuk algo sorprendido le da la razón diciendo que al morir todos los humanos van al mismo lugar y que la muerte es imparcial en el presente, interpretando lo que dijo de que morir es simplemente dejar de existir, el miedo y la irracionalidad terminan dominando todo su ser, gritando que no quería morir y dejar de existir, seguido de esto, Light sufre el inevitable paro cardíaco, temblando maldice y muere.Este mundo está podrido, lleno de maldad, necesita a alguien con el poder suficiente para exterminar a toda esa maldad. Light Yagami ¡Yo soy la justicia! Light Yagami Yo seré el Dios de este nuevo mundo, llegarán a conocerme. Light Yagami Creo que tengo a Dios de mi lado... más bien a un Dios de la muerte (risa tenue). Light Yagami Hay quienes estarían mejor muertos. Light Yagami Los días pasan , las mismas noticias se repiten constantemente, todo esto es tan ridículo, este mundo esta podrido Light Yagami Anuncio Curiosidades Tetsurō Araki, el director del anime, dijo que sentía ganas de apoyar y animar a Light. Araki añadió que Light lo habría utilizado y matado si era uno de sus amigos, pero el director todavía cree que Light es "interesante" y por lo tanto sentía una atracción hacia él. A veces en la serie se lo ve con los ojos rojos a pesar de que originalmente tiene los ojos marrones y nunca hizo el Trato de los Ojos de Shinigami. Light es ambidiestro. Representa un peculiar arquetipo de personaje, Light es el inconformismo humano en su máxima expresión. Desde que encontró la Death Note, los ojos de Light se volvieron más estrechos o rasgados de lo normal, pero al renunciar a la propiedad de la libreta y perder la memoria, sus ojos se ven notablemente más grandes y redondeados. A Light nunca se le vio utilizar el mecanismo del cajón que destruye la libreta, el cual no se volvió a ver ni mencionar después de los primeros capítulos.
