Near

Character from Death Note by Tsugumi Ohba

L's true successor — a toy-obsessed prodigy who finished the case his predecessor couldn't, dismantling Kira with patience where L used provocation.

Also known as: Nate River, N, Third L

What They Know

• Leads the SPK (Special Provision for Kira), an American task force independent of the Japanese investigation
• Deduced that Teru Mikami is X-Kira — Light's proxy — by analyzing the pattern of criminal deaths during the post-L period
• Had Gevanni forge the pages of Mikami's Death Note, replacing the real pages, so when Mikami tried to kill everyone at Yellow Box Warehouse, nothing happened
• Understands that Mello's kidnapping of Takada forced Mikami to use the real Death Note, revealing its hiding place — Near credits Mello for making the final trap possible
• Grew up in Wammy's House alongside Mello — always ranked first to Mello's second, which defined their rivalry
• Proved Light was Kira at Yellow Box Warehouse by having Mikami's notebook fail in front of both task forces
