Creation and conception [edit]

Tsugumi Ohba, the story writer of Death Notation said that his editor suggested the family name "Yagami" for Lite. Ohba said that he did non feel "besides concerned" about the significant of the name (the Kanji for "Yagami" are "night" and "god"); he said that after he created the final scene in the manga he "liked" that the last scene created "deeper significance" in the proper name, of Kira worshippers worshipping him at dark under the light of the moon – his given proper noun Light is written with the character for "moon".^[3]

Takeshi Obata, the artist of Death Note, said that he had "no trouble" designing Light as the character description presented to him, "A brilliant honors student who'southward a picayune out in that location," was "articulate and detailed". As the weekly serialization continued, Obata simplified the design by subconsciously removing "unnecessary" lines and felt that he became "ameliorate" at drawing Lite. When Chapter 35 appeared and the editor informed Obata that Light loses his memories, Obata had to draw Low-cal in a like manner every bit he appeared in Chapter 1; Obata said "Information technology was like I had to forget everything I had learned." Obata said that he used "a lot of effort" to design Light's wardrobe. According to Obata, he encountered difficulty imagining the clothing of "a brilliant person," and so he looked through way magazines. Obata envisioned Calorie-free equally a "smart and formal guy" who wears formal shirts. Nearly of Low-cal'south clothing in Death Note is "fitted" and Obata avoided jeans.^[4]

For color illustrations, Obata assigned specific colors to each master character to help "get the atmosphere right" when designing them. He assigned "a lack of color or clear" to Light.^[5]

Films [edit]

Shusuke Kaneko, director of the film, intended for Light to appear sympathetic at the get-go of the film; when Low-cal start gains the Expiry Annotation, Kaneko "was careful" to have Light react in a manner "as y'all and I would". Kaneko changed the story involving Light gaining his first notebook every bit he felt that the audition "would accept a hard time sympathizing" with Light if the scene remained the aforementioned as information technology was in the manga. Kaneko added that as he portrayed Calorie-free every bit "existence enthralled" as he "becomes more cruel" to make the audience members feel that they could "do the terrible things he does" fifty-fifty if the members do non sympathize with Calorie-free.^[half-dozen]

Tatsuya Fujiwara said that he felt difficulty portraying Low-cal in the film serial because of the lack of "activeness" and because Lite has no signature mannerisms and therefore has his feelings displayed by his face; Fujiwara added that he struggled carrying Low-cal's "incredible intelligence" and that the performance would appear "very empty or simplistic" if Low-cal received an improper portrayal. Fujiwara explained that he wanted Light to weep in a particular scene even though Kaneko told Fujiwara "Light doesn't cry" since Fujiwara believed that the scene would feel "more honest"; Kaneko used the take.^[seven]

Kaneko designed Light's room to reflect the grapheme's personality by making it clean and bang-up and filling it with legal, criminal history, foreign, and academic books. The original version of Light's room included a stereo; Kaneko replaced it with a vacuum cleaner to reflect Light'south "clean-freak self".^[viii]

Kenichi Matsuyama, the role player who portrayed 50, said that he and Fujiwara became "so immersed" in their character portrayals that they did non talk to ane another while on the fix; when filming ceased they conversed and "went out for a drink or two".^[7] Matsuyama too said that Light and L are "extremely" alike in that they have "a very strong sense of justice".^[9]

Appearances [edit]

In Death Note [edit]

Lite every bit he appears in the anime.

Lite Yagami was born on February 28, 1986.^[x] He is portrayed as a teen genius and a model student with a polite, reserved, and gentleman-similar personality, who is popular among his peers and teachers and is known for being the class topper.^[11] ^[12] At the starting time of the story, Light is a student in his last year of high school; he later on attends To-Oh University ( 東応大学 , Tōō Daigaku ). His father, Soichiro Yagami, is the master of the National Police Agency and the caput of the chore force hunting for "Kira", the name the public has given to the perpetrator of a cord of inexplicable murders effectually the world. His female parent, Sachiko, is a housewife. His younger sister, Sayu, acts as a cheerful, less bookish foil of Low-cal himself.

Light initially becomes horrified at the Expiry Notation'due south abilities afterwards he tests the notebook on two criminals out of curiosity, but he eventually convinces himself that the criminal'due south resulting deaths were justified, thinking he would bring crime rates down around the earth. Lite shortly becomes driven to atomic number 82 a personal crusade to rid the world of criminal offence past using the notebook. While his agenda originates with good intentions,^[thirteen] Light eventually finds himself killing law enforcement and even innocents in order to elude capture. His ideals are utilitarian, justifying the most extreme acts in service of his cause. He is also driven by a demand for victory, which motivates about of his cruelest acts. Combined with the power of the Decease Notation, his hubris and genius-level intellect convince him that only he can save the earth.

Eventually, a modest task forcefulness of Japanese police officers, including Light's father, under the direction of the eccentric genius detective L begin to close in on Light. Although he suspects Calorie-free is Kira, Fifty allows him to collaborate with the police on the case. This begins a game of true cat and mouse between the 2, with Low-cal trying to learn Fifty'south real proper noun so he can kill him, and 50 trying to get Light to expose himself so that he tin arrest him. Considering the actions of Misa Amane, a fervent Kira supporter and fellow Expiry Note possessor, about implicates Light, he becomes compelled to temporarily relinquish ownership of his notebook and subsequently loses his memories of using the Death Annotation. Information technology is during this fourth dimension that Light reverts to his original persona: a caring, level-headed, and compassionate private unwilling to manipulate others or commit or justify acts of crime, such equally murder. After Light regains buying of his notebook and his memories, he manipulates Misa'due south Shinigami Rem into killing 50. Lite then assumes the "L" persona and continues his deception of searching for Kira with the task forcefulness while carrying out the killings himself with help from Misa.

Over iv years later, Light is able to garner almost of the world's support, reaching the point where his followers have begun to worship Kira as a literal deity. However, information technology is around this fourth dimension that two of 50'due south protégés, Mello and Well-nigh, begin their investigation against Kira. Most heads the SPK (Special Provision for Kira), an American investigation team composed of CIA and FBI agents, while Mello works with the Mafia. Although Mello dies working separately from Near, his actions lead Teru Mikami, a man selected past Light to impale criminals using some other Death Note, to make a fault that results in Light's capture past Near, the SPK, and Japanese constabulary. Seeing that Light has finally lost, he is killed when Ryuk writes his name in his own Death Note, just as the Shinigami had warned when they beginning met.^[xiv]

In picture show [edit]

Japanese picture show series [edit]

In the Japanese picture show series, Low-cal Yagami is portrayed by Tatsuya Fujiwara, known for his function equally Shuya Nanahara in Boxing Royale. In the films, he is portrayed as a distinguished, popular and intellectually gifted college student, who has a condone and frustration of the incapability of the law enforcement system to quell the rampant increase in criminal activities around the world, which drives his motives to apply the Death Annotation, to change the world into a utopian society without crime, under the alias of a god-like vigilante known as "Kira", much similar his manga counterpart. However, some slight changes and modifications were fabricated to the character. At the film'southward beginning, Light is a first-twelvemonth law student at a university, instead of still beingness in loftier school as in the get-go of the manga and anime. Calorie-free's motives besides slightly differ; in this version, he uses the Decease Note mainly out of his frustration from the perceived failures of the Japanese justice system. Light, prior to his discovery of the Death Note, hacks into the national law database and finds that the government is unable to prosecute many criminals, either due to lack of prove or technical loop-holes, among other reasons. Too, Light discovers the Death Note in an aisle during a rainy night after encountering an acquitted felon named Takuo Shibuimaru in a night-club. Another difference is that Light meets Ryuk right after killing Shibuimaru with the Expiry Note. At the end of the first movie, Lite reluctantly kills his girlfriend, Shiori Akino, and frames her death equally a murder and reason to foster hatred for "Kira", in order to join the Kira investigation team as a result of their sympathy.

Light relinquishes ownership of the Death Note to Kiyomi Takada. After Takada is caught, Light kills her to recover the Decease Notation, but it is taken by the investigation team. L states that he will test the xiii-24-hour interval Rule, a fake Decease Note rule designed to prove Lite and Misa's innocence. Rem, knowing that L's actions will reveal Misa's identity as the 2d Kira, writes both L and his handler: Watari's names in the Death Note. Low-cal then proceeds to write his father's name in the book, manipulating his father to return the confiscated Death Note. Low-cal confronts his male parent, but Soichiro does not dice. The investigation team members, including L, reveal themselves. Having already written his ain name in the Death Notation, thus negating Rem'south actions, L tells Calorie-free that he had just written in a fake notation. Lite tries to write on a hidden piece of Death Note, but is shot by Matsuda, an investigation team member. Light tells Ryuk to write the team'southward names, promising to bear witness him many interesting things, and begins to laugh. He stops, all the same, when Ryuk shows him that he had written just 1 proper noun: Low-cal'due south. Light tries to stop Ryuk, but only passes correct through him. Equally Light begins to succumb to the effects of the Death Notation, Ryuk takes this opportunity to reveal to him that humans that have used the Death Note are barred from inbound either Heaven or Hell, instead spending eternity in nothingness. Light dies in his father'due south arms, begging him to believe that he acted as Kira to put the justice, which Soichiro had taught him since his childhood, into do.

Several years subsequently Lite's decease, even so, it is revealed in the sequel moving picture Death Note: Low-cal Upward the New World that Light secretly had a son, Hikari Yagami (夜神光 Yagami Hikari), who was expected to inherit a Death Note and carry on Kira's legacy. Teru Mikami'southward status equally Hikari'southward appointed guardian implies that Misa Amane was the boy's nascency mother. Mikami kills Hikari over control of the notebook, and is then killed by law officer Tsukuru Mishima who decides to use the notebook to continue Low-cal's piece of work in ridding the world of crime. During the course of the moving-picture show, Mishima is somewhen caught by the police force and he willingly turns himself in and the notebook to the authorities, seemingly thus ending Kira's legacy. A mid-credits scene reveals a video recorded by Light addressing the picture show's events to have occurred just as he has expected them to, teasing his potential resurrection.

American flick [edit]

Nat Wolff portrays "Light Turner": a Seattle high school student, in the American film adaptation, as an intelligent even so repose and socially introverted teenager, who stumbles across the mystical Death Note and eventually decides to use the notebook's god-like abilities to commit a worldwide massacre, in society to change the world into a utopian order without crime, nether the alias of a literal human deity: "Kira", while being hunted down past an elite task-force of police force enforcement officials within Seattle City, led by an enigmatic international detective known equally Fifty and his own father, veteran Seattle police detective: James Turner.^[15] ^[16] Margaret Qualley portrays Mia Sutton (based on the sociopathic qualities of Light Yagami^[17]), Low-cal's girlfriend who assists him in his activities as "Kira". In this accommodation, Light has vast character differences from his manga counterpart, lacks much of the sociopathic, malicious and ruthless qualities of the original graphic symbol, is more naive, sympathetic and idealistic, does not have a sister and has lost his mother in a hitting and run incident, which partially serves every bit his inspiration to operate as Kira. He has a close yet somewhat strained relationship with his father and while considered academically gifted by peers and authorities, is not a popular student and is considered as a social outsider and lacks friends. Unlike his manga counterpart, he is besides far less charismatic and confident, only more morally driven and demonstrates a reluctance to murder innocents and law enforcement individuals attempting to capture him, while eventually demonstrating a more darker, morally ambiguous, cunning and meticulous personality, towards the film'south ending. Furthermore, instead of obtaining the notebook by chance, Ryuk deliberately hands Light the Death Note, in gild to entertain himself and to see how an indifferent high schooler would utilise the Expiry Note's god-like abilities.^{[ commendation needed ]}

Subsequently beingness enticed to kill a swell by Ryuk, Lite murders the criminal who killed his mother. Forth with Mia Sutton, his classmate and love interest, Light begins a crusade similar to his manga analogue to rid the world of criminal offense. Nonetheless the pair eventually come to a disagreement on how they should deal with law enforcement targeting them, including L and Light'due south father James. After Mia kills Watari, L'due south handler, she schemes to steal the notebook from Light, merely Light outmaneuvers her and kills her and concocts an elaborate plan through the Death Note, by manipulating a number of criminals to continue his activities equally "Kira" through the notebook, before all of them commit suicide and induces himself into a medical coma for around a calendar month, which seemingly proves Light'southward innocence to the authorities. At the end of the film, James presents Light with evidence that he killed his mother's murderer and Lite confesses to beingness Kira and reveals how he cleared himself of suspicion. Meanwhile, L, disgraced by his superiors due to failing to implicate Low-cal and seeking to avenge Watari, considers killing Low-cal with a hidden piece of the notebook he finds in Mia's room. The film ends, as Ryuk laughs to a bed-ridden Calorie-free and comments that "humans are so interesting".

In other media [edit]

In the 2015 drama, Masataka Kubota plays the role of Light Yagami.^[18] Like to the Netflix adaptation, Light is portrayed as less charismatic, insecure and is initially hesitant to impale law enforcement. His relationship with his father Soichiro is too strained due to the death of his female parent prior to the first of the series. Nonetheless, in the later half of the serial he grows to demonstrate the aforementioned level of ruthlessness, intellect and hubris as his manga counterpart.

Like the Netflix adaption, Lite does non obtain the notebook by take chances and information technology is given to him by Ryuk in response to a confrontation with a great. After write the bully'south proper name in the Death Notation and realize information technology is real, he is so horrified past what he did that almost commits suicide. Later again using the notebook to save his father from being held hostage, Calorie-free proceeds to use the notebook to impale criminals as Kira. In response to the killings, the detective Fifty leads a police task strength alongside Light's father Soichiro to capture Kira. Toward the end of the serial, 50 and Soichiro see through Lite'southward deception and each attempt to convince him to turn himself in. When Light refuses to relent, he is baited into confessing subsequently 50 and Soichiro both sacrifice their lives. The information obtained from their deaths is relayed to the police task strength, who ambush Light in a warehouse in a sting operation lead by Fifty's successor Near. In a desperate endeavor to help him evade capture, Low-cal's accomplice Teru Mikami sets burn down to the warehouse only Low-cal is instead trapped by the burn down and burns to death.

In the musical adaptation, Light is portrayed by Kenji Urai and Hayato Kakizawa in the Japanese productions and Hong Kwang-ho and Han Ji-sang in the Korean productions.^[xix]

Reception [edit]

Analysis [edit]

Ohba described Lite every bit a victim of the Death Note, with Lite'south life beingness "ruined" once he obtained it. According to Ohba, Low-cal was "a young man who could sympathise the pain of others" when he get-go encountered the Expiry Note. Ohba said that if Ryuk never developed an interest in the human world, Light would take become "i of the greatest police leaders in the earth" who, with L, worked against criminals.^[21] He added that he believed that debating whether Light'south deportment were good or evil is not "very important". Ohba said that he personally sees Lite as a "diabolical" graphic symbol.^[22] Obata said that Light was his second favorite human character and that he was non sure whether that was considering he "liked" Low-cal or considering he drew "such a diabolical character" in a magazine for children.^[23]

According to Ohba, Light sees Misa Amane, whom he uses as an cohort, every bit a "bad person" who killed people, so he acts emotionally common cold towards her and manipulates her, although he pretends to love her, and even says he volition ally her. He is but stopped from killing her by the shinigami Rem, who threatens to kill him if she dies early or if he tries to kill her, despite her knowledge that doing and so volition cause her own death.^[24]

Although Light originally had skilful intentions, he was "very complacent", with a "warped ... want to be godlike", bearing love for his family, and intending to transform the world into "a better place".^[24] Ohba besides states that Lite, "uncompromising" when achieving his ideals, "sullied" himself by using the Death Note and that his deportment "may have been the upshot of the purity within him" prior to obtaining the Death Note.^[25]

This purity is demonstrated in Light's personality shift after he temporarily relinquishes the Death Annotation to ward off suspicion. Losing his memories as Kira forth with ownership of the notebook, Light demonstrates compassion, a reluctance to manipulate others, and an intense unwillingness to kill. Once his memories return, yet, he reverts to his ruthless Kira persona and remains that way until his death. Nevertheless, Ohba states that Light never lost his love for his family since he viewed them equally righteous people.^[26]

Douglas Wolk of Salon describes Lite as "coldly manipulative", "egomaniacal", and "an unrepentant serial killer, a butcher on an enormous scale" who is non "a Freddy Krueger, a monster who represents pure evil, or a Patrick Bateman, a demonic symbol of his age". Wolk describes Light as "the adept guy, more or less" who genuinely believes that he holds "the moral loftier footing".^[27] When asked about which graphic symbol was virtually like to himself, Ohba indicated Virtually and "maybe Light." Regarding Calorie-free, Ohba cited "because I did well in school."^[28]

Travis Fickett of IGN describes Light as a "sociopath".^[29] Tom Due south. Pepirium of IGN describes Light every bit "bright, but disturbed".^[xxx] Wolk describes Light's ideal world, a "totalitarian" place "ruled past a propagandistic Television set channel and an capricious cloak-and-dagger executioner". Wolk said that Ohba sometimes suggests that this world is "in some ways a improve, happier world than ours".^[27] Jolyon Baraka Thomas describes Low-cal's vision of justice every bit "impure": "[His] supercilious attempt to salvage order from itself is both self-aggrandizing and barbarous".^[12] Toshiki Inoue, the serial organizer for the Death Notation anime, describes Light as a "kid whose wish happens to come truthful".^[31]

Critical reception [edit]

Tom S. Pepirium of IGN said that he felt surprised when he learned that some viewers, while watching the series, wanted Low-cal to sally as the victor of the storyline; Pepirium added that his wife said that she was "kinda rooting for Light". Pepirium compared wanting Light to win to "cheering for Kevin Spacey at the finish of Seven".^[32] Pepirium added that Brad Swaile, Light's English-language voice histrion, "nails" the "hard" task of making Calorie-free "both likable and hated".^[33] Jason Charpentier of The Anchor stated that Light's attributes and his office as a main grapheme course "office of what makes Death Annotation interesting".^[34] Calorie-free was also listed 18th in IGN'south 2009 best anime character of best listing with writer Chris Mackenzie praising how Light is "mesmerizing".^[35] In 2014, he was placed seventh on IGN'south list of greatest anime characters of all-time, with the cite stating that "Lite Yagami was the force that drove Death Note and made it a phenomenon".^[36] He is oftentimes cited equally being an anti-hero and sometimes a villain protagonist.^[37] ^[38] Manga artist Katsura Hoshino, a sometime assistant of Takeshi Obata, has said that she likes the way the Light is oft drawn as he gives the appeal of a cool villain.^[39]

Tetsuro Araki, the director of the anime, said that he felt an urge to back up and cheer for Low-cal. Araki added that Lite would take used and killed him if he was one of Calorie-free's friends, but the managing director still believed that Light is "that interesting" and therefore he would have felt an attraction towards Calorie-free.^[31]

Pauline Wong of OtakuZone had her opinions of the picture show portrayal of Lite Yagami published in The Star, a Malaysian newspaper. In it, Wong says that the "very bishie-status-worthy" Fujiwara portrayed Light with "aplomb and nigh-perfection, correct downwardly to the evil little grinning". Kitty Sensei, quoted in the same Malaysian article, says that the portrayal of Light in the flick is "very faithful to the manga's".^[xl]

Tatsuya Fujiwara, the actor who portrayed Light in the films, said that he "could empathise" Low-cal'due south intentions to create a new world fifty-fifty though "murder is a horrible thing".^[7] Matsuyama describes L and Light as having "such unique characters that they're incommunicable to understand".^[7] Erika Toda, the actress who portrayed Misa Amane in the films, described Light'due south and Misa'due south actions as "criminal".^[41]
