![]() In response, Light persuades Misa to give up her notebook and raises another "Kira", Teru Mikami, a prosecutor and fervent supporter of Kira. He is shot several times during the attack, and dies shortly afterward in hospital.Īfter this, Near and several members of the task force begin to suspect Light of being Kira. During an assault on Mello's headquarters, Soichiro learns Mello's name, but does not kill him. To regain it, Light's father Soichiro trades half of his remaining life to Ryuk for the "Shinigami Eyes" - the ability to see people's names on sight. Refocusing on the families of the task force, Mello kidnaps Light's sister Sayu as a replacement she is quickly rescued, but the task force's notebook is lost to Mello. This plan is briefly stymied when Light murders the director out of hand. As his first act against Kira, Mello attempts to obtain the Death Note held by the Kira task force, by kidnapping the director of Japan's National Police Agency. Two young men, raised as potential successors to L, appear - Near, a detective associated with the United States Government, and Mello, a member of the Mafia. The narrative picks up four years later, with Kira attracting a large network of contacts and a swell of public support. Upon L's death, he becomes the "second L" and expands his charade of searching for Kira, while carrying out the crimes himself. Light completes his complex plan by manipulating Rem into killing L, his guardian Watari, and - because she violates shinigami law by killing L to save Misa's life - herself. Upon touching the notebook, Light regains his memories as Kira and kills Higuchi, thereby regaining ownership of the Death Note "exactly as planned." The task force learn of the Death Notes and confirm the existence of shinigami. The task force identify the third Kira as Yotsuba Group executive Kyosuke Higuchi and capture him. When it becomes clear that Light and Misa cannot be carrying out the third Kira's murders, they are restricted to L's headquarters under house arrest.

His plan is impeded by a lovestruck second Kira, famous model Misa Amane, and her shinigami Rem. Light attempts to create an alibi by helping L and his task force track down Kira. Light realizes that L will be his greatest hindrance, and begins a cat and mouse game with him. L stages a fake public appearance and quickly deduces that the serial killer, publicly known as "Kira" (キラ?, derived from the Japanese pronunciation of the word "killer"), is located in a single Japanese prefecture and can kill people by supernatural means. Soon, the inexplicable deaths of criminals catch the attention of Interpol and the world-famous detective, "L". Once he finishes creating this utopia, he means to rule over it as what he calls "the god of the new world". Light tells Ryuk of his plan to exterminate all the criminals in the world, until only people whom he has judged to be honest and kind remain. After experimenting with the notebook, Light confirms its authenticity and is joined by an unexpected house guest - the notebook's previous owner, a shinigami called Ryuk. His life undergoes a drastic change when he discovers the "Death Note", a notebook that kills anyone whose name is written in it. Light Yagami is a bored young genius who resents all things evil.
