whitedove

Light Yagami (Tatsuya Fujiwara) is the top high school student of Japan who has, until recently, led a boring and uneventful life. All that quickly changes when he finds a mysterious notebook with the title "Death Note" on it, lying on the ground near his school. This innocent-looking object which should remain in the hands of God, may just be the catalyst that would change the fate of the world forever.

Although initially skeptical after realising that it is a tool of a Shinigami (God of Death), Light eventually decides to use it to 'cleanse' the world of evil. With the power to kill anyone by writing the name on the page, he begins to hold the scales to judge criminals based in his discretion.

His life undergoes a drastic change when he discovers a mysterious notebook, known as the "Death Note", lying on the ground in the year 2003. The Death Note's instructions claim that, if a human's name is written within it, that person shall die. Light is initially skeptical of the Death Note's genuineness, believing it is just a prank. However, after experimenting with it and killing two criminals, Light is forced to admit the Death Note is real. After meeting with the true owner of the Death Note, a shinigami named Ryuk, Light seeks to become the "God of new world" by passing his judgment on criminals.

Soon, the number of inexplicable deaths of reported criminals catches the attention of the International Police Organization and a mysterious detective known only as "L". L quickly learns that the serial killer, dubbed by the public as "Kira"(In Japlish, "Kira "sounds like "Killer"), is located in Japan.

Tatsuya Fujiwara as Light Yagami (Kira)


The protagonist of Death Note, Light is a brilliant but bored student. When he finds the Death Note dropped in the human world by Ryuk, a Shinigami (Death God), he decides to use it to kill all criminals, his ultimate goal being to cleanse the world of evil，to create a utopia and to be the God of this new world.


Kenichi Matsuyama as L


L is the world's top-rated detective, tasked with tracking down and arresting Kira. His disheveled appearance masks his great powers of deduction and insight. He has many quirks, such as sitting in an odd manner and snacking on sweets in the middle of meetings. His intelligence matches or exceeds Light Yagami's. Despite being confident that Light is Kira, L lacks sufficient evidence to bring Light to justice. He has dedicated his life to catching Kira.
