|"Light Yagami is a bored young genius who resents all things evil. His life undergoes a drastic change when he discovers the "Death Note", a notebook that kills anyone whose name is written in it. After experimenting with the notebook, Light confirms its authenticity and is joined by an unexpected house guest - the notebook's previous owner, a shinigami called Ryuk. Light tells Ryuk of his plan to exterminate all the criminals in the world, until only people whom he has judged to be honest and kind remain. Once he finishes creating this utopia, he means to rule over it as what he calls "the god of the new world".
"Characters"
Spoiler alert
Light Yagami (夜神 月 Yagami Raito?) is a bored young genius who is dissatisfied with the Japanese justice system. When he finds the Death Note, he uses it to kill criminals in large numbers. His goal is to create a "pure world" without evil, which he intends to rule over as "the god of the new world". The name Kira (キラ?), derived from the English word killer, is quickly popularized, as people start to deify the source of this tide of judgment. However, Light is progressively corrupted, as he goes to greater lengths to defeat those hunting for him. In the end, when Light is exposed, the shinigami Ryuk kills him using a death note. He dies in disgrace
L Lawliet, known solely as L, is the world's greatest detective. He takes on the task of tracking down and arresting Kira. His disheveled appearance and odd behavior belie his genius. He lives in solitude, and only his manager Watari is able to contact him. L suspects that Light is Kira almost from the beginning, but cannot confirm his suspicions until his dying moments, when a victorious Light secretly reveals the truth.
Misa Amane (弥 海砂 Amane Misa?) is a popular Japanese idol. She has an extremely cheerful, upbeat manner. She is devoted to Light, who does not return her affections; instead, he manipulates and uses her. As a death note owner and the second Kira, she has the Shinigami Eyes, which allow her to view anyone's name and lifespan on sight. While her fate is left unstated in all versions of the story, writer Tsugumi Ohba has said that she probably commits suicide after Light's death.
Near (ニア Nia?), real name Nate River, is the young detective who succeeds L by default, defeating Light Yagami at the story's climax. A placid character with a sharp tongue, he has white hair and wears pale clothes. He constantly plays with toys, building towers of dice and playing cards, and illustrating his exposition with small finger puppets and Lego minifigs. While both he and Mello were in competition to succeed L, Near accepts in the end that neither of them can completely do so, and their eventual cooperation is critical to Kira's defeat.
Mello (メロ Mero?), real name Mihael Keehl, grows up in competition with Near to succeed L. After L's death, however, he concedes the position to Near and leaves to hunt Kira through criminal means, eventually joining the American Mafia. He dresses extravagantly, and is rarely seen without a bar of chocolate. He is obsessed with outdoing Near, to whom he considers himself to be always second.
Shinigami (死神?, literally "death-god") are demon-like beings who live in the Shinigami realm. Shinigami are functionally immortal, able to extend their lives indefinitely by writing the names of humans in their Death Notes. By writing the name of a human whose fated time of death has not yet come, Shinigami have their lifespan increased by the amount that human would have lived (e.g. a forty-year-old who would have lived to the age of sixty would yield twenty years). As Ryuk describes it, life in the Shinigami realm is incredibly dull; Shinigami do little more than gamble constantly, and using the Death Note more than once in a while is considered something workaholics do. The main Shinigami featured in the series are Ryuk, Rem and Sidoh. The only way to kill a Shinigami is through love for a human (e.g. if a Shinigami kills to save a human they love [which adds more time to the lifespan of that human], the Shinigami will then turn to dust and evaporate, as Gelus did to prolong Misa's life).
