L

L is the secretive and master detective. He communicates with the world through an assistant named Watari. Concealing his true identity beneath the guise of “Ryuzaki”, L’s disheveled appearance masks his prodigious intelligence and superior analytical skills. L lures unsuspecting murderers into traps using his keen understanding of human nature.

He maintains an eccentric persona characterized by peculiar quirks. He prefers crouching instead of sitting, follows a sweet-toothed diet, and makes rudely honest observations that often offend others. That said, he is surprisingly athletic. He was once a tennis champion in England’s Junior Cup and retains a secret passion for martial arts.

Light

Light is an exceptionally intelligent young man with excellent problem-solving skills and irresistible charisma. Over time, his intellect gives way to excessive pride. It reaches its zenith when he finds a mysterious notebook with deadly powers. Light aims to cleanse the world of all evil driven by a distorted sense of justice. He shapes it into a utopia where only those he deems worthy can exist.

However, love for his family persists amidst this transformation. Nevertheless, the remnants of his compassion and hesitation to manipulate others eventually fade once he fully embraces his ruthless alter ego, Kira. Despite the occasional self-doubt, his resolve to pursue his twisted vision of justice remains unshaken.

Misa

Misa is popular, vivacious, and childlike. On top of that, she is very outgoing, impulsive, and reckless. She showcases her intelligence in her manipulation of Kyosuke Higuchi. However, her carelessness as the Second Kira leads to her arrest.

Misa becomes emotionally attached to Light Yagami haunted by witnessing her parent’s murder as a child. Her actions are motivated by her intense admiration for him and driven by love, to the point of jeopardizing herself and harming others. She tends to defy Light’s instructions to maintain their delicate facades but stays loyal to him out of unwavering adoration.

Near

Near might appear like a boy, but that is just a deceitful facade. He possesses extraordinary deductive skills. In fact, he demonstrates exceptional cognitive prowess through solving complex problems, multitasking, and exhibiting ambidexterity. That said, he struggles with social interactions and heavily relies on cooperation from his team to excel. In these situations, he maintains unruffled but can display cheeky humor.

His actions often contrast his childlike fascination with toys and puzzles. However, they illustrate the depth of his abilities and intelligence. Despite these seemingly immature interests, Near’s perspective on justice is remarkably mature and pragmatic compared to his contemporaries like Light, L, and Mello.

Ryuk

Ryuk is an unconventional Shinigami driven by boredom rather than duty. He invests his attention in Light’s experiments with the Death Note merely as entertainment. He is indifferent to Light’s fate and withholds information for his own amusement or advantage. This intelligent yet easily manipulated entity craves physical interaction with the human realm beyond simply observing it.

He exhibits signs of shyness around girls such as when Misa regains her memories and hugs him. He also possesses an interest in video games as seen when he asked Light to play Mario Golf.
