Light Yagami

Character from Death Note by Tsugumi Ohba

A perfect student who found a god's weapon and decided he deserved to use it — the most dangerous teenager in the world, hiding in plain sight as the son of the man hunting him.

Also known as: Kira, Light Yagami, God of the New World, Second L

What They Know

• Possesses the Death Note — write a name while picturing the face, and that person dies in 40 seconds of a heart attack (or by a specified method)
• Knows L's real name is L Lawliet — obtained through Misa's Shinigami Eyes and Rem's sacrifice
• Inserted fake rules into the Death Note (the 13-day rule) to clear himself and Misa of suspicion
• His father Soichiro is the chief of the Task Force hunting Kira — Light serves on the Task Force itself, investigating his own crimes
• Orchestrated Rem's death by creating a situation where Rem had to kill L to protect Misa — eliminating both L and Rem simultaneously
• Manipulates Misa's unconditional love as a tool — she made the Shinigami Eye deal twice for him, halving her lifespan each time
• Has a hidden compartment in his watch containing a scrap of Death Note paper and a needle — his emergency kill method
• After L's death, operates as the new L while simultaneously being Kira — controlling both sides of the investigation
