Light was a young man with a somewhat fragile physical appearance, quite thin, weighing only 54kg and tall, reaching 179cm. He had brown hair, somewhat long and untidy. His eyes were brown and he had thin eyebrows. He considers himself very handsome, a trait observed by Misa Amane and Kiyomi Takada. His outfits varied throughout the series; the most characteristic was his school uniform, which consisted of a white shirt, a jacket and light-colored brown pants, dark brown shoes, and a burgundy tie. After obtaining the Death Note, he began wearing different combinations of long-sleeved shirts and pants, mainly in neutral colors. As a member of the Special Investigation Force, it was common to wear suits in light and neutral colors.

Light is a determined and direct man with what he thinks, not caring at all about staining his hands with the blood of others of the people he has killed. This action concludes in the end that he is capable of doing anything in order to achieve his goal, this being one of the main causes of his corruption as a person. As he uses the Death Note more, Light becomes more ruthless and twisted, to the point of not only lacking empathy, compassion or love towards others, but also developing a manipulative side where he even goes so far as to use his own family and people related to him to fulfill his purposes in something that he considers the most correct. Throughout the series, Light is constantly trying to evade suspicion from L and the other detectives by keeping his identity as "Kira" a secret as much as possible and cleaning up the world of crime. The fact that he considers himself a god and knowledgeable about the law also adds to his distorted notion of reality that only he is best suited to judge humanity and direct it to follow a proper moral course, developing in him an extremist narcissism where he cares for no one but himself, a strong megalomania and a great arrogance which becomes evident once he is discovered.

Ohba said that Light was "a young man who could understand the pain of others" when he was the first to find the Death Note. Ohba said that if Ryuk had never come to the human world, Light would have become "one of the greatest police leaders in the world" who, alongside L, would work against criminals. Ohba describes Light's life as "ruins" once he obtained the Death Note, as he became a victim of the note "in many ways." Ohba described Light as having good intentions and a "very vain" character. Ohba also describes Light as having a "warped desire to be divine," having love for his family, and intending to transform the world into "a better place." Ohba added that he believes the debate over whether Light's actions were good or evil is "not very important." Ohba says that he personally views Light as a "devilish" character. According to Ohba, Light sees Misa Amane, whom he uses as an accomplice, as a "bad person" who killed people, so he acts emotionally cold towards her and manipulates her. Despite this, she remains with Light even after they have lost their memories of being the second Kira.

Ohba said that his editor suggested the name "Yagami" to Light's family. Ohba said that he didn't feel "too concerned" about the meaning of the name (the kanji is "night" and "god"); he said that after he created the final scene in the manga, he "liked" that the scene he created would have a "deep meaning" in the name.

Advertisement Character design Obata said he had "no problem" designing Light as the character description presented to him, "a brilliant student who's a little out there" was "clear and detailed." As the manga's weekly serialization continued, Obata had simplified the design by unconsciously removing "unnecessary" lines.
