About Death Note
Light Yagami is the anti-hero protagonist of Death Note. Light was an exceptionally intelligent Highschool student with a very strong sense of justice. His father, Soichiro Yagami, was the chief of NPA. Light believed that “The World is rotten and those who rot it deserve to, someone has to do it so why not me” he was driven by his immense hatred for criminals, and he was even ready to take the law in his hands to put those criminals away for good.
Light finds Death Note, a mysterious book that could kill any person whose name is written on it. He was curious about it, so he put it to test, but it later became a tool to achieve his ambition of ridding this world of all the criminals. After his ordeals, Light became popular as Kira all over the world. As the popularity of Kira increased, Interpol requested the assistance of an enigmatic detective known as L to apprehend Kira. L was Light’s arch-nemesis for the better half of the series. Under the suspicion that Kira has family ties, L assigns an FBI task force named “Kira Task Force” and monitored FBI officers and their families. After some investigation, L had reasons to believe that Light is Kira, so to keep a closer eye on him, he recruited Light into the Kira Task Force.
Actress-Model Misa Amane, having obtained Death Note, makes a deal with Rem her Shinigami to obtain Shinigami eyes in exchange for half of her life span, which allows her to kill anyone knowing their face only. Seeking Light to become her boyfriend, she discovers Light’s identity as Kira. But Light has other plans in mind. He intends to use Misa to find out L’s name and kill him.
