{{nihongo|Light Yagami|夜神 月|Yagami Raito}} is the [[protagonist]] and [[anti-hero]] of the series. At the start of the series, he discovers the Death Note and uses it to kill criminals, becoming known to the people of Japan as '''Kira''' (based on the Japanese pronunciation of the English word "killer"). He is voiced by [[Mamoru Miyano]] in the Japanese anime and by [[Brad Swaile]] in the English dub. In the live-action film, he is played by [[Tatsuya Fujiwara]]. He is characterized as an extremely intelligent, but bored young man, who is frustrated by the lack of justice in the world. He is confident of his own intelligence and how smart he is in relation to others. Being a genius, Light feels that only he is fit to judge humanity and steer it on a proper moral course, viewing himself as the "god" of the new world he is creating. |

[[Image:Llikespanda.PNG|thumb|L as he appears in the anime.]] |

{{nihongo|L|エル|Eru}}, whose real name is {{nihongo|L Lawliet|エル・ローライト|Eru Rōraito}}, is considered the world's greatest detective. Through clever use of aliases, he's also known as the world's second and third greatest detectives, Eraldo Coil and Deneuve, respectively. Though outwardly appearing as disheveled and languid, L is a genius on par with Light. His powers of deduction and insight allow him to draw conclusions from the smallest of clues. He tends to second-guess everything he is presented with, and is extremely [[meticulous]] and [[analytical]]. He has several quirks such as preferring to [[crouch]] rather than sit, loving sweet foods like desserts and fruits, and holding items very delicately. He is voiced by [[Kappei Yamaguchi]] in the Japanese anime and by [[Alessandro Juliani]] in the English dub. In the live-action film, he is played by [[Ken'ichi Matsuyama]]. |

===Near=== |
===Near=== |
||
{{nihongo|Near|ニア|Nia}}, whose real name is {{nihongo|Nate River|ネイト・リバー|Neito Ribā}}, is the younger of L's two successors raised in [[#Watari|Watari's]] orphanage for gifted children and the more level-headed, calmly assessing the situation, while the other, [[#Mello|Mello]], is more emotional and quick to act. Much like L, Near shows various odd behaviors during his normal life. He is usually seen hunched over than sitting, and he also constantly plays with various toys which he uses in his theories. He shows a great respect for L, basing much of how he solves crime on L's methods, even to the point where he only takes cases that he is interested with rather than trying to pursue justice. Much like L, Near uses the Old English "N" to represent himself. He is voiced by [[Noriko Hidaka]] in the Japanese anime. |
|||
[[Image:NearofDeathNote.jpg|200px|thumb|Near as he appears in the anime]] |
|||
{{nihongo|Near|ニア|Nia}}, real name {{nihongo|Nate River|ネイト・リバー|Neito Ribā}}, is the younger of L's two successors and the more level-headed, calmly assessing the situation while Mello is more emotional and quick to act. Much like L, Near uses the Old English "N" to represent himself, though he only briefly calls himself by the initial since Light discovers his actual alias. He is voiced by [[Noriko Hidaka]] in the Japanese anime. He does not appear in the films. |
|||
Sometime after L's death, he works for the United States under the SPK (Secret Provision for Kira) team that is established to investigate Kira. He soon manages to deduce that Light, posing as L, is actually Kira. After finding that Mikami is Light's proxy and Mello kidnaps Takada, Near is able to switch Mikami's Death Note with a fake one, allowing he to set up a final confrontation that leaves Light exposed. Ryuk kills Light soon after. Near claims that neither of he nor Mello could surpass L alone, but together have done so by inadvertently working together. Near soon takes on L's name, and keeps on the surviving members of the SPK as his subordinates. |
|||
Near shares several behavioral similarities with L. He is usually seen hunched over than sitting, much like L crouches. He also various toys which he uses in his theories, vaguely recalling L's obsession with sweets. Personality-wise, Near is somewhat more cold. He initially shows no emotions towards L's death, saying L is a loser in the game of tracking down Kira; however, he later reveals that both he and Mello have great respect for L and want to prove themselves by succeeding him. He is fairly blunt, and often insults people who support Kira or otherwise stand in his way, although usually not to their faces. Compared to L, Near is somewhat more decisive, as he tends to judge on little evidence and pursues [[hypothetical]] hunches. This is demonstrated when he claims that Light is definitely Kira based on little information. Often using the terms 'winning' and 'losing', he seems to consider the investigation as one of his games. |
|||
Though he starts with no leads or clues, Near successfully identifies the events unfolding during the capture of Higuchi, and points out the existence of the Death Note to President Hoope. With authority from Hoope, the SPK (Secret Provision for Kira) is established to investigate Kira. The SPK consists of selected agents from the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation]] and the [[Central Intelligence Agency]], as well as Near. After Light retrieves the Death Note stolen by Mello, Mello informs Near of the fake rules Ryuk wrote in it, leading Near to suspect that the new L is Kira. From various information he gains from Mello and Aizawa, Near deduces that Light is the new L. He also deduces that Mikami is acting as Light's proxy. |
|||
In their final confrontation, Near uses Kira's own plan to eliminate all his adversaries against him by switching Mikami's Death Note with a fake. Since Mikami naturally excludes Light from his victims, Light is exposed as Kira. Near attributes his success not only to Mikami's miscalculation in killing Takada, but also to Mello, whose kidnapping of Takada was the key to his victory. He claims that neither of them could surpass L alone, but together (intentionally or not) have done so. |

===Mello=== |

{{nihongo|Mello|メロ|Mero}} |
{{nihongo|Mello|メロ|Mero}}, whose real name {{nihongo|Mihael Keehl<!-- His name really is Mihael, NOT Michael. It is a northern European version of the same name. Please do not change it again. !-->|ミハエル・ケール|Mihaeru Kēru}}, is the older of L's two successors raised in [[#Watari|Watari's]] orphanage for gifted children. When it is decided that Mello should work with the other successor, Near, Mello refuses, citing an inability to work with Near, to whom he is considered second. Similar to L's fondness for sweets, Mello is often seen eating bars of chocolate. Unlike L or Near, however, Mello is much more outgoing and emotional, to a fault at some points. He is quite intelligent and resourceful, able to set up elaborate plans thanks to his Mafia connections. Mello is voiced by [[Nozomu Sasaki]] in the Japanese anime. |
||
Mello decides to find Kira his own way by joining the Mafia. After obtaining one of the Death Notes from the Kira investigation team by kidnapping [[#Sayu Yagami|Sayu Yagami]], Light ends up setting up a raid that leaves him badly scarred and his real name in Light's hands. After learning that Light is Kira, he kidnaps Takada, but is soon killed by Takada's hidden pages of the Death Note. This action causes Mikami to expose his own Death Note to kill Takada, eventually leading to Light's defeat. |
|||
Similar to L's fondness for sweets, Mello is often seen eating bars of chocolate. Unlike L or Near, however, Mello is much more outgoing and emotional, to a fault at some points. He is quite intelligent and resourceful, able to set up elaborate plans thanks to his Mafia connections. Mello wears leather most of the time, unlike Near or L, who wear more casual clothing. He also appears to be less secluded in terms of his friends and hobbies, and seems to be fond of biking. |
|||
Mello decides to find Kira his own way by joining the Mafia (assumed to be located in [[Los Angeles]], [[California]]). He kidnaps the Director of the Japanese Police to get the Death Note from the Kira investigation team. When Light kills the man, Mello kidnaps Sayu Yagami. Light cannot bring himself to kill her, and his father turns over the Death Note. Light stages a raid on Mello's hideout with Misa's help, having one of Mello's gang members mail the address to him using the Death Note then mailing his own Death Note to the investigation team. Soichiro Yagami opts to trade for the Shinigami Eyes and kill Mello, but is only able to learn his name before being fatally wounded. Mello escapes capture by blowing up his own hideout; though he survives, the left side of his face is badly scarred. |
|||
After Mello escapes, he meets Near and gives him information on the rules of the Death Note in exchange for his only photograph left in the world, which, before the exchange, is in Near's hands. Mello tricks Mogi into meeting Near in [[New York]], so in thanks, Near finds a round-about way of letting Mello know what Aizawa told Near. With the same information, Mello also comes to the conclusion that Light is Kira. Mello's last act is to kidnap Takada (whom Lidner instructs to get on Mello's bike). He dies when Takada writes his name on a piece of the Death Note, as per Light's instructions, but in doing so lays the foundation for Light's defeat, since Mikami exposes his Death Note's hiding place when trying to kill Takada. While Halle states that Mello may have been trying to help Near discover that Mikami's real notebook was hidden, Near is more skeptical, doubting that Mello thought that far ahead. |
|||
===Soichiro Yagami=== |
===Soichiro Yagami=== |
||
{{nihongo|Soichiro Yagami|夜神 総一郎|Yagami Sōichirō}} is Light's father and a police officer that initially leads the Kira investigation team. He is voiced by [[Naoya Uchida]] in the Japanese anime and [[Chris Britton (actor)|Chris Britton]] in the English dub. In the film, he is played by [[Takeshi Kaga]]. As work on the Kira case begins, he becomes disappointed with the lack of police cooperation in capturing Kira, eventually joining forces with L to form a special investigative team. When L begins to suspect Light of being Kira, Soichiro is unwilling to believe his son would be capable of such a thing. Though he eventually suffers a stress related heart attack, he insists on remaining helpful to the team, going as far as breaking into the Sakura TV station using a police bus. |
|||
[[Image:Vlcsnap-291003.png|200px|thumb|Soichiro Yagami in the anime]] |
|||
{{nihongo|Soichiro Yagami|夜神 総一郎|Yagami Sōichirō}} is Light's father and a police officer. After most of the police resign from the Kira case for fear of being killed, he leads the remains of his investigation team under L's command. While working with L, he goes by the alias {{nihongo|Shijuro Asahi|朝日 四十郎|Asahi Shijūrō}} as protection from Kira's ability to kill by name. He is voiced by [[Naoya Uchida]] in the Japanese anime and [[Chris Britton (actor)|Chris Britton]] in the English dub. In the film, he is played by [[Takeshi Kaga]], best known as Chairman Kaga of ''[[Iron Chef]]''. |
|||
As work on the Kira case begins, he becomes disappointed with the lack of police cooperation in capturing Kira, eventually joining forces with L to form a special investigative team. He suffers from a heart attack early in the story, but it is stress-related and non-fatal, instead of the deadly killing method Kira uses. Even with the heart attack, he insists on remaining helpful to the team, going as far as breaking into the Sakura TV station using a police bus (Misa, having the Shinigami Eyes, had simply been killing everyone who approached up to that point) in order to stop the second Kira's broadcast and obtain the tapes. |
|||

When L begins to suspect Light of being Kira, Soichiro is unwilling to believe his son would be capable of such a thing. Much later, after L is killed and replaced by Light, he is instrumental in regaining the Death Note which Mello had pressured them into relinquishing by threatening Soichiro's daughter. Using Kira's Death Note, which Misa delivers to him under Light's instruction, Soichiro trades with Ryuk for the Shinigami Eyes. Using the eyes, he is able to learn Mello's real name, Mihael Keehl, thereby giving Light access to the same information. However, before he can kill Mello, he is fatally wounded by one of Mello's gang members. Because Light has given up his Death Note and therefore his lifespan is visible, Soichiro dies happily believing that Light isn't Kira. Ryuk suggests that because Sochiro never really used the Death Note, he died peacefully, as opposed to the curse of unhappiness Ryuk had attributed to all Death Note owners before. |

|||
Soichiro's fate differs in the films. He never obtains the Death Note in this version, and eventually learns that Light is Kira. He apprehends his son by agreeing to L's plan and following the instructions on the fake Death Note, which Light wrote in to kill Soichiro, stating that Soichiro was a nuisance. After reporting the consequences of these events and the coinciding police reports to L, he salutes the mastermind with gratitude, proud to have known and worked beside him. He is the last person to see L alive before the Death Note takes effect. One year after the incident on Light's birthday, he visits Light's [[grave site]] with the rest of the family and prays that Sayu would keep believing that his son died in his fight against Kira, instead of being Kira himself. |

===Hirokazu Ukita=== |
||
{{nihongo|Hirokazu Ukita|宇生田 広数|Ukita Hirokazu}} is the most emotional of the Kira investigation team that is lead by [[#L|L]]. When Misa has Sakura TV broadcast a message from her as Kira, Ukita rushes to the station to stop the broadcast without any prompting by the rest of the team. Since Misa has the Shinigami Eyes, she kills him as soon as he approaches the door. He is voiced by [[Hidenobu Kiuchi]] in the Japanese anime and Jeremy From in the English dub. In the film, he is portrayed by Tatsuhito Okuda. |
|||
[[Image:Dn matsuda.JPG|thumb|Tota Matsuda in the anime]] |
|||
{{nihongo|Tota Matsuda|松田 桃太|Matsuda Tōta}|romanized as "Touta Matsuda" in the English manga}} is the younger and more outspoken member of the investigation team. He takes the alias {{nihongo|Taro Matsui|松井 太郎|Matsui Tarō}} while working with L, and also becomes Misa Amane's manager once she and Light join. Despite working to capture Kira, which he knows must be done, Matsuda admits that a part of him recognizes the good Kira is doing, even if he knows it's the wrong way to go about it. As such, he is somewhat supportive and sympathetic towards Kira's followers, though he doesn't let it get in the way of his work. Despite his excitable, naïve personality, Matsuda manages to stay alive through quite a few dangerous times. Matsuda sees Soichiro as his [[mentor]]. He is voiced by [[Ryō Naitō]] in the Japanese anime and [[Vincent Tong]] in the English dub. In the film, he is played by [[Sōta Aoyama]]. |
|||
Though allocated to something of a support role to the more active members of the team, Matsuda plays a crucial role in the investigation of the Yotsuba Group. Wanting to be of use, he sneaks into the company's building and spies on the board of directors, learning of their casual conversations about eliminating potential competition. However, he is caught in the act. He uses his position as Misa's manager to fool them into thinking he's scouting for potential opportunities, then under L's direction fakes his death to prevent them from learning that he's using an alias. His position as Misa's manager is filled by Mogi to complete the ruse. |
|||
When Higuchi is discovered to be the current Kira, Matsuda risks his life in a ploy to capture Higuchi by appearing on Sakura TV to reveal Kira's identity. An accident is fabricated by the team to have Matsuda reveal his face, making Higuchi take the threat seriously. Since Higuchi does not possess the Shinigami Eyes at the time, and all other traces of Matsuda's real name and face are eliminated, Higuchi is forced to trade for the Eyes and go to the station in person, allowing the investigation team to capture him. |
|||
When Light is revealed to be Kira at Yellowbox Warehouse, Matsuda is the most shocked of the team. His respect for Light up until that point, combined with Soichiro's seemingly pointless sacrifice in light of the revelation, leaves Matsuda outraged. When Light attempts to write Near's name on a piece of the Death Note, Matsuda repeatedly shoots him, and it takes the entire team to keep him from killing Light on the spot. In the manga, after Light is killed by Ryuk, Matsuda suspects that, to help with Light's capture, Near had used the Death Note to control Mikami's actions. Ide believes that Matsuda merely "wishes" this were true, probably because he thought of Light as a friend. |

===Kanzo Mogi=== |
===Kanzo Mogi=== |
||
{{nihongo|Kanzo Mogi|模木 完造|Mogi Kanzō}} is one of the most dedicated members of the investigation team, but also one of the most reserved. |
{{nihongo|Kanzo Mogi|模木 完造|Mogi Kanzō}} is one of the most dedicated members of the Kira investigation team, but also one of the most reserved. Mogi rarely speaks, even when someone presents an opinion he agrees with. He is shown to be an excellent actor, becoming an excited and cheery manager for Misa on demand and in seeming contradiction to his usual demeanor. He is voiced by [[Kazuya Nakai]] in the Japanese anime and [[John Murphy]] in the English dub. In the film, he is played by [kuji Nakamura. |
||
===Kiyomi Takada=== |
|||
Mogi rarely speaks, even when someone presents an opinion he agrees with; this is exemplified in his silent reaction to the theories that Near was presenting to him. Along with Aizawa, he is one of the first members of the investigation team who begins to warm to Near's theory that Light is Kira. He is shown to be an excellent actor, becoming an excited and cheery manager for Misa on demand and in seeming contradiction to his usual demeanor. |
|||
{{nihongo|Kiyomi Takada|高田 清美|Takada Kiyomi}} first appears for a short period as Light's classmate and girlfriend to allow him to keep suspicion away from himself and Misa as the two Kiras. She is a popular girl also known as "Miss To-Oh", short for To-Oh University, or "'Refined' Takada". She returns later in the story as an announcer of NHN chosen by Mikami be Kira's spokesperson to the world. Light eventually romances here in order to covertly deliver messages to Mikami, and have her use pages of the Death Note to judge criminals as part of Light's plan. She is eventually kidnapped by [[#Mello|Mello]], who she kills, and is then killed by Light. As a college student, she is voiced by Masumi Okamura in the Japanese anime and [[Heather Doerksen]] in the English dub. The older version of the character is voiced by [[Maaya Sakamoto]]. In the film, she is played by Nana Katase. |
|||
After Matsuda is forced to fake his death, Mogi replaces him as Misa's manager. Later on, Mello demands to meet Mogi in order to investigate Kira, but tricks Mogi into meeting Near at the SPK headquarters. Mogi is then held hostage by Near until Aizawa arrives to rescue him. This sequence of events was left out of the anime adaptation, and instead Mogi is merely taken by Near to force a confrontation between the two teams. In the film, Mogi is killed by Misa during the Sakura TV incident, instead of Ukita being killed as in the manga and anime. |
|||
===Shuichi Aizawa=== |
===Shuichi Aizawa=== |
||
{{nihongo|Shuichi Aizawa|相沢 周市|Aizawa Shūichi}} |
{{nihongo|Shuichi Aizawa|相沢 周市|Aizawa Shūichi}} is a member of the Kira investigation team that leaves the team under the guise of needed to support his family because the Japanese police cut their funding, though L would have paid for it. He returns after L's death, where he is one of the first to suspect Light of being Kira, and helps contribute to his eventual defeat. He becomes the leader of the investigation team afterwards. He is voiced by [[Keiji Fujiwara]] in the Japanese anime and [[Trevor Devall]] in the English dub. In the film, he is played by [[Shin Shimizu]]. |
||
===Teru Mikami=== |
|||
Aizawa has a prominent role in the latter half of the series, suspecting Light of being Kira after the 13-day rule for writing names in the Death Note, failure to do so meaning death, is revealed to be fake. After listening to Near's theories, he becomes more convinced, and drops hints that Light is the new L, whom Near had suspected was Kira. Though his suspicions are obvious, Light underestimates him, and Aizawa learns about Light's written conversations with Takada during their wire-tapped meetings by covertly marking the notepads. In the finale, he becomes the leader of the investigation team. |
|||
{{nihongo|Teru Mikami|魅上 照|Mikami Teru}} is selected as the new Kira by Light when he feels that it is dangerous for Misa to keep the Death Note any longer. Mikami is a criminal prosecutor and an avid supporter of Kira. He has an uncanny insight into Kira's way of thinking, making him a useful proxy for Light. As a child, Mikami was bullied at school for his sense of righteousness. He wishes to punish those he considers to be evil, and worships Kira as God because of Light's judgements. Though, unlike Light, he judges the unproductive and those who have committed crimes in their past, even if they have since reformed, which alarms Light. Mikami also appears to be psychologically unbalanced, muttering "delete" repeatedly to himself while writing in the Death Note. In the anime, he is voiced by [[Masaya Matsukaze]]. |

===Watari=== |
===Watari=== |
||
{{nihongo|Watari|ワタリ}} is L's assistant, providing logistics to the investigation team. Before the team is formed, he is the only person who has seen L, and the only one capable of contacting L directly. Like L, he represents himself with an Old English "W" on computer screens. On the surface he is {{nihongo|Quillsh Wammy|キルシュ・ワイミー|Kirushu Waimī}}, a famous inventor who founded The Wammy's House, an [[orphanage]] for gifted children, in [[Winchester]]. Watari is well trained in espionage and [[marksman]]ship |

Watari is well trained in espionage and [[marksman]]ship He is voiced by [[Kiyoshi Kobayashi]] in the Japanese anime and [[French Tickner]] in the English dub. In the film, he is played by [[Shunji Fujimura]]. |
||
Watari dies shortly before L, killed by Rem. As he dies, he deletes all the data following the Kira case. In the film, however, he dies in an elevator next to Misa while escorting her to L in order to reassess her guilt of being the Second Kira. In the manga and anime, it is L's attempt to test one of the Death Note's fake rules which inspires Rem to kill them both. The Wammy house caretaker, Roger Ruvie, takes over as the new Watari following the successful resolution of the Kira case. |
|||
According to ''Death Note: How to Read 13'', Watari was originally designed to be man with only a single strip of hair. Illustrator [[Takeshi Obata]] redesigned him to be an old man. |

===Teru Mikami=== |
|||
[[Image:TeruMikamiDeathNote.JPG|thumb|Mikami in the manga]] |
|||
{{nihongo|Teru Mikami|魅上 照|Mikami Teru}} is selected as the new Kira by Light when he feels that it is dangerous for Misa to keep the Death Note any longer. Mikami is a criminal prosecutor and an avid supporter of Kira. He also has an uncanny insight into Kira's way of thinking, making him a useful proxy for Light. In the anime, he is voiced by [[Masaya Matsukaze]]. |
|||
As a child, Mikami was bullied at school for his sense of righteousness. He wishes to punish those he considers to be evil, an attitude cultivated by the untimely deaths of all those whom he had judged to be evil as a child (this is well before Light becomes Kira). Kira's ability to kill under the same circumstances impresses Mikami, and he worships Kira as God for it. Like Light, Mikami is extremely intelligent and intuitive, able to deduce what Light would do as Kira with almost perfect accuracy. He is smart enough to act on his own without direction while simultaneously carrying out Kira's orders. However, while Light is almost always calm and collected, Mikami appears to be psychologically unbalanced, muttering "delete" repeatedly to himself while writing in the Death Note. He also tends to jump and make erratic slashing movements with his pen, swinging it as if it were a sword. Mikami goes beyond Light in his ambition, wishing to judge the unproductive and those who have committed crimes in their past, even if they have since reformed, which alarms Light. |
|||
Mikami's devotion to Kira, as well as his insight into Kira's thoughts, ultimately leads to their deaths. When Takada is kidnapped by Mello, Mikami correctly predicts that Kira would want to silence her, since she is in possession of several Death Note pages. He breaks his normal routine to retrieve his Death Note and kill her, unaware that Light has already done so. This allows Near's team to find his note and switch it with a fake, foiling Light's plan to gather all of his antagonists in the same place for Mikami to dispose of them. In the manga, an enraged Mikami starts to blame Light for putting them into their situation, claiming that Kira is no god, contrary to what he so fervently believed before. Ten days after he is captured and detained, he dies after going [[insane]]. Mikami's death leads Matsuda to believe that Near used the Death Note to control Mikami's actions, allowing Near to convict Light. In the anime, Mikami commits suicide with a fountain pen, allowing Light to flee the warehouse (though it cannot be asserted whether he did so on purpose or out of desperation). Mikami does not appear in the film versions of ''Death Note''. |
|||
===Kiyomi Takada=== |
|||
[[Image:Kiyomilookskindasad.png|200px|thumb|Kiyomi Takada in the anime series]] |
|||
{{nihongo|Kiyomi Takada|高田 清美|Takada Kiyomi}} first appears for a short period as Light's classmate and girlfriend. She is a popular girl also known as "Miss To-Oh" ("Miss Todai" in Japanese), short for To-Oh University, or "'Refined' Takada" (''Seiso Takada'', which means something similar to "plays hard to get"). She returns later in the story as an announcer of NHN (parody of [[NHK]]) chosen to be Kira's spokesperson to the world. This decision is made by Mikami, not Light. Mikami recognizes her as someone who supports Kira, albeit not as vocally as he, that could send out Kira's word accurately and in a calm and straightforward manner. As a college student, she is voiced by [[Masumi Okamura]] in the Japanese anime and [[Heather Doerksen]] in the English dub. The older version of the character is voiced by [[Maaya Sakamoto]]. In the film, she is played by [[Nana Katase]], and has longer hair than she does in the anime and manga. |
|||
Despite her reputation, Light notes that Takada is actually quite intelligent. Near, however, believes that she is merely studious, having done a background check as opposed to Light's grade-based assessment. |
|||
Light first dates Takada to keep suspicion away from himself and Misa as the two Kiras. After learning that she is Kira's spokesperson, he romances her once again in order to covertly deliver messages to Mikami. When Light reveals his identity as Kira to her, she states that he is the only man she has ever respected, and him being Kira only further enhances her attraction to him. As part of his plan to eliminate Near and his other adversaries, Light has Mikami give several pages of the Death Note to Takada so she can judge criminals, while Mikami uses a fake notebook to write the same names. This is a contributing factor in Light's eventual death. When Mello kidnaps Takada, she uses a page of the Death Note to kill him under Light's instruction. Both Light and Mikami write her name into the Death Note as a suicide by fire to remove any evidence of her Death Note use, but in doing so Mikami exposes his Death Note's hiding place, allowing Near to steal it and replace it with a fake. |
|||
In the film, Takada's role is combined with that of Higuchi, the third Kira. Here, she kills those who stand in her way of a [[promotion]]. In this version, she never learns that Light is Kira. Her fate is more or less the same as Higuchi's, with Light killing her after she is taken into police custody. |

The Death Note ends up in the hands of Kyosuke Higuchi |
The Death Note ends up in the hands of Kyosuke Higuchi. During L's probe on the group, Hatori is killed by Higuchi after stating intentions to leave. Rem aids in the capture of Higuchi by revealing his identity to Misa. Misa uses her status as the second Kira to get him to admit to being Kira on tape. Higuchi is captured in an elaborate setup concocted by Light and L, and once Light touches the Death Note, thereby regaining his memories of being the real Kira, he uses a Death Note scrap to kill Higuchi. The remaining six members eventually die of heart attacks. Rumors of Kira's responsibility in the deaths causes Yotsuba's share prices to drop sharply. |

The remaining six members eventually die of heart attacks. Rumors of Kira's responsibility in the deaths causes Yotsuba's share prices to drop sharply. In the Director's Cut edition, they die by suicide or through accidents. In the film, the role of the Yotsuba group is replaced by Takada. |

===Aiber=== |
||
{{nihongo|Aiber|アイバー|Aibā}}, whose real name is Thierry Morello, is a professional con-man in the employ of L. He plays the role of {{nihongo|Eraldo Coil|エラルド・コイル|Erarudo Koiru}}, one of L's detective aliases, during the investigation of the Yotsuba Group. Aiber uses his initial "A", just like L, when communicating through computers. After L's death, he is killed by Light. He is voiced by [[Takuya Kirimoto]] in the Japanese anime. |
|||
{{nihongo|Hideki Ide|伊出 英基|Ide Hideki}} plays a relatively minor role in the investigative team. Aside from helping to coordinate their efforts, his actions do not widely affect the overall plot. His main point is during the caputre of Higuchi, where he organizes a blockade of police cars to trap Higuchi. He is voiced by [[Hideo Ishikawa]] in the Japanese anime and [[Brian Dobson]] in the English dub. The character does not exist in the film version. |
|||
=== |
===David Hoope=== |
||
{{nihongo|David Hoope|デイビット・ホープ|Deibitto Hōpu}} is the [[President of the United States of America]] in the storyline. He assists in the formation of Near's SPK, and provides information and funding to Mello under threats of the Death Note. He turns to Light, believing that he is the real L, who manipulates him into providing assistance and attacking Mello's hideout. When the attack fails, President Hoope commits suicide to prevent Mello from writing his name and making him launch a nuclear strike. In the anime, he does not commit suicide as the character was merged with that of George Sairas. He is voiced by [[Aruno Tahara]] in the Japanese anime. |
|||
{{nihongo|Sanami|佐波}} only appears in the film adaptation of ''Death Note'', portrayed by [[Miyuki Komatsu]]. She is the only female team member, as opposed to the all-male team in the manga and anime. In the second film, she tends to Misa during her captivity and is more critical of the methods used by the investigation team, often calling them cruel. Her character is similar to that of Matsuda, sans Kira [[empathy]]. |
|||
===Matt=== |
|||
{{nihongo|Matt|マット|Matto}}, real name {{nihongo|Mail Jeevas<!-- His name really is Mail, NOT Miles. Please do not change it again. !-->|マイル・ジーヴァス|Mairu Jīvasu|pronounced like "mile" rather than "male"}}, is a cohort of Mello's. He is also a former resident of Wammy's orphanage, though not actually one of L's successors, considered behind both Mello and Near in that regard. He does some [[espionage]] work for Mello and is an accomplice in Takada's kidnapping. He is voiced by [[Tomohiro Nishimura]] in the Japanese anime. |
|||
Matt follows orders without question. During their kidnapping of Takada, he acts as a distraction, luring off the majority of Takada's bodyguards. He attempts to confront them with a hidden gun, but is shot repeatedly by all thirteen. Mello posthumously apologizes to Matt after learning of his death on TV. |
|||
===Halle Bullook=== |
===Halle Bullook=== |

She is a former CIA agent, and leaks information to Mello in order to increase the chances of Kira being caught. She is voiced by [[Akeno Watanabe]] in the Japanese anime. |
||
===Hideki Ide=== |
|||
While Lidner's role in the anime is minimal, her motivations are made much clearer in the manga. Here, Lidner knows Mello and leaks SPK information to him without Near's knowledge. When Mello asks where her loyalties lie, she replies that she is on neither side, merely helping both of them because they are after Kira. Most significantly, she is partly responsible for Mello's decision to kidnap Takada, informing him of Near's final plan beforehand. He replies, "I'm the only one who can do it." This can be seen as the real push that drove Mello to kidnap Takada and eventually save the lives of both investigation teams. |
|||
{{nihongo|Hideki Ide|伊出 英基|Ide Hideki}} plays a relatively minor role in the Kira investigative team. He helps coordinate their efforts, and preforms actions such as organizing a blockade of police cars to trap Higuchi.

Jack Neylon, whose real is name Kal Snyder, is a member of Mello's gang. He is the holder of Shidoh's Death Note after it is given to the gang by the Kira investigation team. Before Mello joined, he was involved in [[drug trafficking]] and illegal weapons sales; neither charge stuck due to lack of evidence, despite four separate arrests. After Shidoh tracks down his Death Note, Jack performs the eye trade with him. Light uses the Death Note to have mail him the address of Mello's hideout. He is voiced by [[Takashi Matsuyama]] in the Japanese anime. |

|||
{{nihongo|Sachiko Yagami|夜神 幸子|Yagami Sachiko}} is Light's mother and Soichiro's wife. She is oblivious to Light's ownership and use of the Death Note. When Light is allowed in the investigation team to help L catch Kira, he tells his mother that he has decided to run away to live with Misa. In the second film's conclusion, Sachiko is decorating a cake for her late son's birthday. Along with Sayu, she presumably believes that Light died in pursuit of Kira. [[Ai Satō]] voices her in the Japanese anime and [[Saffron Henderson]] voices her in the English dub. In the films, [[Michiko Godai]] portrays her. |
|||
=== |
===Naomi Misora=== |
||
{{nihongo|Naomi Misora|南空 ナオミ|Misora Naomi}} is a former FBI agent and Raye Penber's fiancée. She left the FBI in October 2003,<ref>''Death Note'' manga; Volume 2, Page 150</ref> planning to marry Raye, move to the United States, and raise a family.<ref>''Death Note'' manga; Volume 2, Page 13</ref> After Raye's death, she decides to search for his killer. She attempts to contact the Kira investigation team, but Light manages to manipulate her, allowing Light to learn her name and killer. She is voiced by [[Naoko Matsui]] in the Japanese anime and [[Tabitha St. Germain]] in the English dub. In the films, she is played by [[Asaka Seto]]. |
|||
[[Image:SayuYagami14.jpg|thumb|Sayu Yagami as a teenager in the anime]] |
|||
{{nihongo|Sayu Yagami|夜神 粧裕|Yagami Sayu}} is Light's younger sister. Like her mother, she never learns of Light's possession of the Death Note. In the manga and anime, Mello's gang kidnaps her in an attempt to extort the Death Note from her father, which proves successful. Though she is returned unharmed, she falls into a state of shock and becomes unresponsive to everyone, including her family. In the film, these events never take place. Instead, she is inadvertently responsible for revealing Light's identity as Kira to Misa when she temporarily falls into shock upon seeing Mogi die. Light and Soichiro have to carry her away, which allows Misa to pick Light out among the crowd. [[Haruka Kudō]] voices her in the Japanese anime and [[Kelly Metzger]] voices her in the English dub. In the films, [[Hikari Mitsushima]] portrays her. |
|||
===David Hoope=== |
|||
{{nihongo|David Hoope|デイビット・ホープ|Deibitto Hōpu}} is the [[President of the United States of America]] in the storyline. He assists in the formation of Near's SPK. In the manga, Mello's gang uses the Death Note to threaten President Hoope into helping them in various ways, including funding, weapons, and providing information about the SPK. President Hoope turns to L (Light at that point) in hopes of getting information about the Death Note, only to reveal to L that he is subject to Mello's threats. Light manipulates him into providing the same assistance that he offered the SPK with regard to the Kira case, leaving Light on the same competitive level as, or possibly with an advantage over, Near's SPK. He even calls a military attack on Mello's hideout under L's instruction. When the attack fails, President Hoope commits suicide to prevent Mello from writing his name and making him launch a nuclear strike, although it might also be Kira's work to cover his tracks. His suicide reasoning is somewhat ironic, as one of the rules of the Death Note states that the death and the actions leading up to it cannot be responsible for other deaths, otherwise the victim dies of a heart attack (the nuclear destruction of any portion of the world would certainly fall in this category). In the anime, he does not commit suicide as the character was merged with that of George Sairas. He is voiced by [[Aruno Tahara]] in the Japanese anime. |

In the film, Raye tells Misora that he suspects Light; this allows Misora to find Shiori. Raye cancels his reservations and leaves the hotel, causing a perplexed Misora to follow him. She watches as he boards a train at [[Asakabashi Station]] and encounters Kira. Raye does not see Kira in this version; instead, he talks to him using a [[walkie-talkie]]. Light kills the man sitting next to Raye and has him to prop the body so that it looks like the person is sleeping. The rest of the scene plays out in much the same way. Misora witnesses his death, drops her church documents, and cries his name repeatedly as she holds his dead body. Misora collapses and sobs at the end of the scene. |

This is a list of fictional characters in the manga and anime series Death Note. The character names are listed in Western order, with the given name before the family name.
Main characters
Light Yagami
Light Yagami (夜神 月, Yagami Raito) is the protagonist and anti-hero of the series. At the start of the series, he discovers the Death Note and uses it to kill criminals, becoming known to the people of Japan as Kira (based on the Japanese pronunciation of the English word "killer"). He is voiced by Mamoru Miyano in the Japanese anime and by Brad Swaile in the English dub. In the live-action film, he is played by Tatsuya Fujiwara. He is characterized as an extremely intelligent, but bored young man, who is frustrated by the lack of justice in the world. He is confident of his own intelligence and how smart he is in relation to others. Being a genius, Light feels that only he is fit to judge humanity and steer it on a proper moral course, viewing himself as the "god" of the new world he is creating.
Shortly after gaining the Death Note from its owner, Ryuk, Light sets to work ridding the world of criminals, attracting the attention of the master detective L. Light and L encounter each other a series of battles of wit throughout the first part of the series, though once the second Kira, Misa Amane emerges, L is able to corner them both. After giving up the death note briefly to clear their names, he is able to finally have L killed by manipulating Rem into saving Misa's life. With L dead, Light takes up his mantle to keep the world in the dark about L's death, becoming the second L while putting him in the perfect position to continue killing criminals. He comes into conflict with L's true successors, Near and Mello, during this time. After making a mistake in using Teru Mikami as a proxy, Near is finally able to corner Light. Having decided that it's time to end his game, Ryuk kills Light.
L
L (エル, Eru), whose real name is L Lawliet (エル・ローライト, Eru Rōraito), is considered the world's greatest detective. Through clever use of aliases, he's also known as the world's second and third greatest detectives, Eraldo Coil and Deneuve, respectively. Though outwardly appearing as disheveled and languid, L is a genius on par with Light. His powers of deduction and insight allow him to draw conclusions from the smallest of clues. He tends to second-guess everything he is presented with, and is extremely meticulous and analytical. He has several quirks such as preferring to crouch rather than sit, loving sweet foods like desserts and fruits, and holding items very delicately. He is voiced by Kappei Yamaguchi in the Japanese anime and by Alessandro Juliani in the English dub. In the live-action film, he is played by Ken'ichi Matsuyama.
L is quite secretive and only communicates with the world through his assistant, Watari. He never shows his face to the world, instead representing himself with a capital L in Old English 5 Font. He only first reveals himself to the Kira investigation team, and has them refer to him as Ryuzaki (竜崎, Ryūzaki) for discretion. When he attends Light's college, he takes the name Hideki Ryuga (流河 旱樹, Ryūga Hideki), deliberately using the name of a popular singer to see if Light was Kira. Even the Kira investigation team never learns his true name.
When it becomes clear that the one known as Kira is responsible for the many heart attacks among the criminal population, L makes it his duty to bring him to justice. He quickly suspects that Light Yagami is Kira, but cannot obtain any concrete evidence. After having Light join his investigation team to analyze him further, he and Light's false persona soon become close friends. Although L cannot shake the conclusion that Light is the first Kira, Light is the only person L had ever identified or connected with, and he openly states on one occasion that even though it would hurt his pride to admit that he has been wrong, he hopes that he would be. Light manages to kill L by manipulating Rem into killing L for him, making her believe that she must kill him for the sake of Misa's life. During his final hours, L seems a bit depressed, mostly because he, somehow, knew that his death was drawing near. L's last sight before death is Light triumphantly smiling over his defeated rival. In this moment L confirms to himself that Light is the first Kira.
Misa Amane
Misa Amane (弥 海砂, Amane Misa) is a famous model, singer and actress, who obtains a Death Note, and becomes known as the second Kira. She is voiced by Aya Hirano in the Japanese anime and by Shannon Chan-Kent in the English dub. In the live-action film, she is played by Erika Toda.
Misa Amane obtains her note from Rem, who received it after Jelous, a shinigami who fell in love with Misa, sacrificed himself to change her fate by killing a person that was going to kill Misa. She obtains the Shinigami Eyes from Rem upon meeting her. Upon realizing that the first Kira is Light, she develops an immense crush on him, partially because he "punished" the criminal that killed her parents. Misa is hyperactive and knowingly allows Light to easily manipulate her, claiming she doesn't mind as she loves him so much. She has a habit of referring to herself in the third person by calling herself "Misa-Misa".
Near
Near (ニア, Nia), whose real name is Nate River (ネイト・リバー, Neito Ribā), is the younger of L's two successors raised in Watari's orphanage for gifted children and the more level-headed, calmly assessing the situation, while the other, Mello, is more emotional and quick to act. Much like L, Near shows various odd behaviors during his normal life. He is usually seen hunched over than sitting, and he also constantly plays with various toys which he uses in his theories. He shows a great respect for L, basing much of how he solves crime on L's methods, even to the point where he only takes cases that he is interested with rather than trying to pursue justice. Much like L, Near uses the Old English "N" to represent himself. He is voiced by Noriko Hidaka in the Japanese anime.
Sometime after L's death, he works for the United States under the SPK (Secret Provision for Kira) team that is established to investigate Kira. He soon manages to deduce that Light, posing as L, is actually Kira. After finding that Mikami is Light's proxy and Mello kidnaps Takada, Near is able to switch Mikami's Death Note with a fake one, allowing he to set up a final confrontation that leaves Light exposed. Ryuk kills Light soon after. Near claims that neither of he nor Mello could surpass L alone, but together have done so by inadvertently working together. Near soon takes on L's name, and keeps on the surviving members of the SPK as his subordinates.
Mello
Mello (メロ, Mero), whose real name Mihael Keehl (ミハエル・ケール, Mihaeru Kēru), is the older of L's two successors raised in Watari's orphanage for gifted children. When it is decided that Mello should work with the other successor, Near, Mello refuses, citing an inability to work with Near, to whom he is considered second. Similar to L's fondness for sweets, Mello is often seen eating bars of chocolate. Unlike L or Near, however, Mello is much more outgoing and emotional, to a fault at some points. He is quite intelligent and resourceful, able to set up elaborate plans thanks to his Mafia connections. Mello is voiced by Nozomu Sasaki in the Japanese anime.
Mello decides to find Kira his own way by joining the Mafia. After obtaining one of the Death Notes from the Kira investigation team by kidnapping Sayu Yagami, Light ends up setting up a raid that leaves him badly scarred and his real name in Light's hands. After learning that Light is Kira, he kidnaps Takada, but is soon killed by Takada's hidden pages of the Death Note. This action causes Mikami to expose his own Death Note to kill Takada, eventually leading to Light's defeat.
Soichiro Yagami
Soichiro Yagami (夜神 総一郎, Yagami Sōichirō) is Light's father and a police officer that initially leads the Kira investigation team. He is voiced by Naoya Uchida in the Japanese anime and Chris Britton in the English dub. In the film, he is played by Takeshi Kaga. As work on the Kira case begins, he becomes disappointed with the lack of police cooperation in capturing Kira, eventually joining forces with L to form a special investigative team. When L begins to suspect Light of being Kira, Soichiro is unwilling to believe his son would be capable of such a thing. Though he eventually suffers a stress related heart attack, he insists on remaining helpful to the team, going as far as breaking into the Sakura TV station using a police bus.
Much later, after L is killed and replaced by Light, he is instrumental in regaining the Death Note which Mello had pressured them into relinquishing by threatening Soichiro's daughter. Using Kira's Death Note, which Misa delivers to him under Light's instruction, Soichiro trades with Ryuk for the Shinigami Eyes. Using the eyes, he is able to learn Mello's real name, though he is fatally wounded by one of Mello's gang members. Because Light has given up his Death Note and therefore his lifespan is visible, Soichiro dies happily believing that Light isn't Kira.
Shinigami
Shinigami, or Death Gods, 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 thirty-year-old who would have lived to the age of sixty would yield thirty 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 is considered something workaholics do. The main Shinigami featured in the series are Ryuk and Rem.
Supporting characters

She returns later in the story as an announcer of NHN chosen by Mikami be Kira's spokesperson to the world.

As a child, Mikami was bullied at school for his sense of righteousness. He wishes to punish those he considers to be evil, and worships Kira as God because of Light's judgements. Though, unlike Light, he judges the unproductive and those who have committed crimes in their past, even if they have since reformed, which alarms Light. Mikami also appears to be psychologically unbalanced, muttering "delete" repeatedly to himself while writing in the Death Note. In the anime, he is voiced by Masaya Matsukaze.
Tota Matsuda
Tota Matsuda (松田 桃太, Matsuda Tōta}, romanized as "Touta Matsuda" in the English manga) is the youngest and most outspoken member of the Kira investigation team.

Despite working to capture Kira, which he knows must be done, Matsuda admits that a part of him recognizes the good Kira is doing, even if he knows it's the wrong way to go about it. As such, he is somewhat supportive and sympathetic towards Kira's followers, though he doesn't let it get in the way of his work. Despite his excitable, naïve personality, Matsuda manages to stay alive through quite a few dangerous times. He is voiced by Ryō Naitō in the Japanese anime and Vincent Tong in the English dub. In the film, he is played by Sōta Aoyama.

They meet weekly to discuss the killing of key individuals from competing companies to maintain dominance in the business industry. While they realize that one of them is Kira, they do not know which one. The group consists of:
- Kyosuke Higuchi (火口 卿介, Higuchi Kyōsuke) Voiced by: Issei Futamata

The Death Note ends up in the hands of Kyosuke Higuchi. During L's probe on the group, Hatori is killed by Higuchi after stating intentions to leave. Rem aids in the capture of Higuchi by revealing his identity to Misa. Misa uses her status as the second Kira to get him to admit to being Kira on tape. Higuchi is captured in an elaborate setup concocted by Light and L, and once Light touches the Death Note, thereby regaining his memories of being the real Kira, he uses a Death Note scrap to kill Higuchi. The remaining six members eventually die of heart attacks. Rumors of Kira's responsibility in the deaths causes Yotsuba's share prices to drop sharply.
