Talk:Near (Death Note)

Is it really true that Obata said that Near was both his favorite and his least favorite character, or did a name get switched? Even if he said both, the sentence should in some way acknowledge the contradiction so that it doesn't just seem like a mistake. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.189.197.62 (talk) 03:35, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

• It's true - check the citation - He says it in the same paragraph. WhisperToMe (talk) 03:45, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Picture

• I think the article needs a new picture. The current one makes it look like he has a goatee. JuJube (talk) 01:18, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Copyedit

I just stumbled across this article and I think it needs a really thorough copyedit, preferably by someone who's familiar with the material as it comes across really confusing, due to the flow of ideas. Choppy sentences all over the place as well.128.237.236.210 (talk) 01:00, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Near's Name

How did Near get the name Nate River? If he was supposedly born in Thailand, wouldn't his biological mother name him something more common in the Thailand region? And if Near did have a birth name wouldn't that name be shown above his head instead of Nate River? I think we should add to the article some verification on how Near was given his alias and the name Nate River.Any Anime Luver (talk) 18:32, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Simple its only the film in which he was born there —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.110.2.113 (talk) 12:50, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Tsugumi Ohba doesn't know how to spell....:(

Near's name was derived from his both ends of his formal name: Nate River. Which in turn spells Naer.--4.226.60.231 (talk) 23:12, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Thats the point to make it even werider. --91.110.20.24 (talk) 09:26, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure this page has been vandalised.

I'm pretty sure this page has been vandalised. I don't know enough about either the subject matter or how Wikipedia works to make changes, but I thought somebody would want to know about this. These are the bits that stood out to me.

Near (ニア, Nia?), whose real name is Nate River (ネイト・リバー, Neito Ribā?), is a totally real character in the anime and manga series Death Note and the film L: Change the WorLd.

In Death Note, Near is the younger of L's and did i mention that he was caught by pedo bear and persanally delivered to Wammy upon finding out he was male, since Watari and Roger is into that shit.
