• Yagami Light ||

Light is introduced as a teenager with exceptional intellectual abilities, a calculating and cunning man. However, after receiving the notebook, Light Yagami decided to become God and create a new world without criminals. He partially succeeded, but he didn't realize that by killing other criminals, he himself became one. He is moderately sociable, but lacks stable friends and girlfriends. He is uninterested in the activities of his peers, constantly remaining alone with his hobbies. Since childhood, Light hated crime and was guided by a sense of justice in his actions, but he did not show himself unnecessarily.

Yagami possesses a sharp, tenacious mind and analytical thinking. He is skilled at cunning, lying, and manipulation, often using people as puppets because he sees no one as his equal.

On the surface, Yagami appears emotionless and calm. In reality, he suffers from delusions of grandeur, hypocrisy, sudden emotional outbursts, and manifest psychoses. By nature, he is cruel, apathetic, and adventurous. Under the influence of emotions and psychological problems, he makes serious mistakes, creates dangerous situations, and fails to understand the consequences of his actions.

However, despite all his crimes, Light will never become the embodiment of pure evil. He sincerely loves his father and sister (he didn't care when his father died, so this is debatable) and will never stop caring for them. Thus, humanity and compassion will forever remain within him.

At the beginning of the manga and series, Light is Japan's top student; at the beginning of the film, he's a college student. He's the son of Soichiro Yagami, the second-in-command in the Japanese police force. Light always wanted to become a police officer to catch criminals and punish them for their crimes. He was skeptical of the world around him and didn't enjoy life. Light believed the world was mired in lies and demanded the arrival of a new God who would cleanse it of its evil deeds.

Light came into possession of the Death Note, and he dared to use it to transform the world by killing criminals. Initially disbelieving in the Note's power, Light decided to test it on a criminal he'd seen on television, who had taken refuge in a kindergarten. According to the Note's rules, a person would die of a heart attack 40 seconds after their name was written in the Note, with no cause of death specified. Light couldn't believe his eyes when a reporter announced that the criminal had died of a heart attack. Afterward, Light encountered a god of death named Ryuk, who, it turns out, had deliberately dropped the Note into the human world from the world of the Death Gods out of boredom. Speaking with Ryuk, Light revealed his intentions to cleanse this world of criminals and become the new god of a new world, given the opportunity. He decided to kill all criminals using the same method: a heart attack. To do this, Light searches the internet for the names and faces of criminals and makes entries in the Death Note. Very soon, people begin to notice a pattern: all criminals die the same way. Interpol then decides to dispatch its best agent, known only as L, to capture him. This man has successfully concealed his identity and face from everyone throughout his career and has promised to catch the strange killer.

Light is a young man of above-average height with light brown hair and brown eyes. During Part I, he sometimes wore his school uniform, consisting of a brown suit and red tie, and casual clothes: a shirt with a blazer or a V-neck sweater with a collared sweater underneath. In Part II, he prefers to wear suits.
Light has medium-length brown hair with bangs and hazel eyes. Other Yagami traits include chiseled features, flawless fair skin, and an infectious, charismatic smile. He is always neatly dressed. Light prefers formal and understated clothing, emphasizing his discipline. He is 17 years old, stands 179 cm tall, and weighs 54 kg.

After Light Yagami begins killing criminals with the Death Note, a large number of deaths attracts the attention of the general public as well as law enforcement.

As the number of criminal deaths continues to rise, people begin to express their opinions on the situation and label these deaths as the work of "Kira," a Japanese pronunciation of the word "killer." The word itself originates in Japan but has since spread worldwide as Kira continues to gain notoriety and popularity.

As the number of victims among the criminals grew, law enforcement took notice, as did the public themselves, who were divided into two camps: those who admired the killer and those who criticized him for his actions. Since in most cases the criminals died of heart attacks, members of the public referred to this event as the "legend of Kira the Savior," saying, "Kira is among us again," and that he is a "messenger from hell."
As the number of criminal deaths increases and the victims show no underlying causes for serious illness or serious conditions (the only connection between them is heart attacks), law enforcement agencies begin to pay serious attention. Finally, an Interpol conference is held between representatives of law enforcement agencies worldwide. The final course of action is to seek the help of L, considered the world's greatest detective, having solved the most complex cases.

L decides to approach Kira via live television broadcast, hoping to elicit his reaction, method of murder, and location. He uses a decoy named Lind L. Taylor, a criminal sentenced to death. He impersonates L, addressing Kira on television and is killed by Light. In reality, the broadcast was only broadcast to one city, so L narrows the search for the criminal to the Kanto region of Japan.

a nickname given by the inhabitants of Light when they realized that criminals don't die for nothing, in the universe of the manga, anime, films, and book "Death Note," and to several serial killers who use Death Notes to kill criminals—mysterious objects from the World of Death Gods that allow them to kill people just by knowing their name and what they look like (otherwise, the writing will have no effect)

During the investigation into Kira's case, the SPK discovered several differences in the murder methods, suggesting that it was a group of several individuals, so they gave them numbered nicknames.

A person's name and lifespan cannot be determined from a painted picture, no matter how realistic it is.
A person who possesses the eyes of the Death God will have vision no worse than 3.6 units by human standards, regardless of their current vision.
A person who loses ownership of the Notebook will lose their memories of using it, but this does not mean they will forget everything from the day they first touched the Notebook to the day they abandoned it. They will simply lose the memory of ever using the Notebook.
If a person who owns two or more Death Notes loses the right to own one Death Note, they will no longer be able to see or hear the God of Death, but will retain the memories of the Death Note as long as they own the other Death Notes.
The God of Death cannot exist in the human world without a reason. Reasons could include:
If the Death Note is in the possession of a human.
The future owner of the Notebook must be found in the world of the Death Gods, but it can also be found in the human world within 82 hours.
If the God of Death decides to kill a person, he only has 82 hours to do so.
The Death God cannot give the Death Note to a person under 6 years old.
The Notebook cannot be owned by a person under 6 years of age, but a Notebook that has touched the ground and become part of the real world can be used by a person of any age.
If you indicate “died from an accident,” then this will happen in 6 minutes and 40 seconds.
One specified cause of death only applies to one name. If you enter multiple names under the same cause in the Notebook, everyone else will die of a heart attack within 40 seconds.

The death god will not follow the borrower, but the borrower can exchange eyes with the death god.
If the person who owns the Notebook dies while the Notebook is being lent to someone, the person currently holding the Notebook becomes the owner of the Notebook.
If the Notebook is stolen and the person who owned the Notebook is killed by the thief, the thief becomes the owner of the Notebook.
If a name was written in 2 or more Notebooks, the effect will be applied to the Notebook in which the name was written first, regardless of the time of death.
If the same name was written in 2 or more Notebooks within a 0.06 second time interval, the Notebook's effect will not work and the victim will not die.
Exchanging Death Notes between Death Gods is not a problem, nor is it a violation of the Death Note rules.
If a Death God chooses to use the Death Note to save a person who is about to be killed, the person's lifespan will increase by the remaining lifespan of the Death God, but the Death God will die.
Even if a Death God dies, their Death Note remains. The Death God who first touches it becomes its owner, although it would be more logical to return it to the King of the Death Gods.
Only by touching another Death Note can a person see and hear another Death God.
Those who possess the eyes of a Death God can see the name and lifespan of others, but they cannot see the lifespan of anyone who possesses another Death Note, including themselves. However, there is no need for a person to know their own lifespan or that of another Death Note owner.
The Death Gods shouldn't tell people the names and lifespans of the things they see. This eliminates confusion in the real world.
The Death God must ensure that the Death Note is used in the human world. If the Death Note is not used, the person must be stripped of their right to possess it.
Even if the Death God gave the Death Note to a person and then died, the Death Note would not lose its effect.

The circumstances of death requirements will not be met if it is physically impossible or infeasible for the individual at the time. In this case, the individual will die of a heart attack.
The rules for writing down the circumstances of death are unknown to the Gods of Death.
A single page, or even a fragment of a page, torn from the Notebook can be used for murder, and those who touch it can see and hear the Death Gods. A fragment of a page is enough to restore the memory of someone who has abandoned the Notebook.
You can write in the Notebook with any instrument, substance, or method (pen, cosmetics, blood), the main thing is that the signs are recognizable.
Even the Death Gods, the true owners of the Notebook, do not know everything about the Notebook.
You can also list the cause of death first, then write the name first. After writing the cause of death, you have 19 days to add the name.
Even if a person does not actually own the Notebook, the effect will be the same if he knows the person's face and name.
The Death Note will not work on anyone younger than 780 days.
The notebook will never work if the victim's name was misspelled more than four times.
Even if the victim's name, cause of death, and time of death have been written down, the cause and time of death can be changed an unlimited number of times within the next 6 minutes and 40 seconds. This will work as long as the person is alive.
Anything the writer wants to change within 6 minutes 40 seconds must be crossed out with a double solid line.
The time and cause of death can be changed, but the one whose name is written in the Death Note will die regardless.
If the owner of the Notebook loses it or it is stolen and it is not returned within 490 days, they will lose ownership of the Notebook.
If a person exchanges eyes with the Death God, they lose their power, as well as all memories of the Death Note if they lose ownership of the Note. Half the life spent on the eyes will not return at that moment.
The owner may lend or rent out the Notebook without losing ownership of it.

The person whose name is written in the Notebook will die.
The Notebook's effect won't work if the person writing the name doesn't know what the face of the person destined to die looks like. Thus, people with the same first and last names don't die.
If the cause of death is not specified, the person will die within 40 seconds of a heart attack.
If the cause of death is written within 40 seconds of the name, then that is what will happen.
The circumstances of death may be recorded in the next 6 minutes 40 seconds.
"Suicide" can also be accepted as a cause of death. Everyone has a latent suicidal tendency.
The notebook will become part of the real world when it touches the ground (appears in the human world).
The owner of the Notebook will see and hear the real owner of the Notebook, that is, the God of Death.
A person who uses the Notebook will not go to heaven or hell after death.
If the time of death is written within 40 seconds of writing the cause of death as heart attack, then the time of death can be controlled and the time will start 40 seconds after the name is written.
A person who touches the Death Note will be able to see and hear the Death God, even if they are not the owner of the Death Note.
The person who possesses the Death Note will be followed by the Death God, the true owner, until the person dies or gives up the Note.
If a person uses the Death Note, the Death God will appear to them within 3 days from the moment of the first entry.
The Death Gods, the true owners of the Notebook, will, as a matter of principle, do nothing to facilitate or prevent the writing of the Notebook.
The Death Gods are not obligated to explain the rules of the Notebook to the person who owns it.
Death Gods can increase their lifespan by writing people's names into the Death Note, but people cannot.
A person who possesses the Death Note can exchange the Death God's eyes with a Death God in exchange for half of their remaining lifespan, allowing the person to see another person's name and lifespan simply by looking at them.

Soichiro Yagami (father) – Soichiro Yagami is the vice-chief of the Japanese police and the head of the special Kira investigation unit. He is the father of Light and Sayu and the husband of Sachiko Yagami. His primary goal was to capture Kira. He doesn't believe his son could be Kira, but he trusts L and doesn't argue with him. Soichiro is a dedicated and honest police officer, devoted to his job and possessing a strong sense of justice. After joining Ryuzaki's team, he constantly questions his methods of investigation, insisting that crime can only be fought through legal means.
He's quick to make decisions in critical situations. He loves his family, but dislikes criminals.
Soichiro was conceived as "an honest police officer with a strong sense of justice" so that the reader would "feel sorry for what the character has to go through." Although Ohba didn't want Soichiro to die, he knew it was inevitable, as continuing to live would hinder the story by creating too many subplots.

Sayu Yagami (sister) is Light Yagami's younger sister and the daughter of Soichiro Yagami and Sachiko Yagami. Sayu has long, chocolate-brown hair and brown eyes.

Sachiko Yagami (mother) is Soichiro Yagami's wife and Light and Sayu's mother. However, she is unaware of Light's possession of the Death Note. Sachiko is a woman of average height. She has cropped chestnut-colored hair and small brown eyes. As a housewife, she dresses neatly.

Real name Ryuk, about 2.8 meters tall, male—a Shinigami who indirectly gave the Death Note to Light Yagami after becoming bored with the Shinigami realm. In an attempt to amuse himself, he steals a second Death Note and throws it into the human world for someone to find. This Death Note was found by Light, who used it in an attempt to rid the world of evil and injustice, satisfying Ryuk's need for entertainment.

Ryuk has a fairly humanoid appearance. He is very thin, with light gray, almost blue skin, spiky black hair, thin gray-blue lips, and sharp teeth. His limbs are abnormally long, and he wears rings on his fingers. He has large, round yellow eyes with bright red irises and wings on his back that he can retract.

Ryuk dislikes boredom; he seeks entertainment. The Shinigami World has long since become a desert, inhabited only by those Death Gods who don't want to die and don't know why they live. They spend their days playing cards or simply lounging around. Ryuk grew tired of this pastime and decided to have some fun: he tricked Big Boss, stole the second Death Note, and dropped it into the human world.

Light Yagami, the owner of the Death Note, and the best Death God he'd ever seen, as Ryuk had once remarked. The shinigami enjoyed watching Light Yagami's activities; he never interfered with him or helped him write names in the Note. Although he would occasionally provoke him just for fun. This god's way of life is entertainment; he doesn't care what happens in the human world, as long as it's interesting and fun. Often, he informs Light about certain aspects of the Death Note at the very last minute; it's interesting to see how he'll handle it. Although sometimes he helped Yagami for his own interests, since apples are his weakness. Ryuk, like a human, succumbed to his weaknesses... entertainment, apples.

Misa Amane (female) is an aspiring model and supporter of Kira, who eventually becomes the second Kira. After receiving the Death Note, she seeks out Kira to thank him for killing the man who attacked her family and to offer him her help. After purchasing Shinigami Eyes, Misa learns that Kira's identity is Light Yagami. After meeting Light, she decides to dedicate her life to helping him and discover L's true identity. Misa is a short, slender, and attractive woman. In the manga, her eyes are primarily pale brown; however, they sometimes appear green. In the anime, they alternate between light brown and blue. Her eyes turn bright red when she uses her Shinigami Eye power; through them, she sees a person's name and lifespan above their head. In the games, her eyes are usually light brown, but are occasionally pink. In the film, she has black hair tied in pigtails.

Misa often dresses in gothic and punk styles, though after the time lapse between L's death and Near's appearance, her style changes significantly. Misa typically wears cross-shaped jewelry.
