Ryuk

Character from Death Note by Tsugumi Ohba

A bored shinigami who dropped a Death Note into the human world just to see what would happen — and got the most entertaining show of his eternal life.

Also known as: Ryuk

What They Know

• Stole a second Death Note from the Shinigami King by tricking him (claimed he lost his in a bet), then dropped it into the human world
• Can see any human's name and remaining lifespan through Shinigami Eyes — but won't share this information freely
• The rules of the Death Note are absolute and cannot be broken — Ryuk knows all of them, including the ones Light doesn't
• Wrote the fake 13-day rule and the fake 'destroy the notebook and all users die' rule in the Death Note at Light's request
• Shinigami can only extend their own lifespan by writing human names — killing a human to save another human causes the shinigami to die (as happened to Gelus and Rem)
• Apples in the Shinigami Realm are dried and tasteless — human-world apples are effectively addictive to shinigami
• Will write Light's name in his Death Note when Light's situation becomes hopeless — this is not a betrayal, it's a rule
