Explore the comprehensive list of characters from the Death Note series on the official Death Note Wiki.
- Light Yagami. When you watch "Death Note," you want to see Light wriggle his way out of seemingly impossible, completely deadly situations. And yet, you also await the moment he finally gets his comeuppance.
- L. L is one of the most peculiar characters in "Death Note." His mannerisms are odd. His posture is terrible. He has an almost unbelievable love of sweets, which he eats in bizarre (and entertaining) ways.
- Ryuk. Without Ryuk, there would be no "Death Note." Unable to endure the boredom of the Shinigami Realm, Ryuk drops his Death Note in the human world out of a desire for entertainment.
- Soichiro Yagami. If there's one character in "Death Note" who truly cares about creating a just world, it's Soichiro Yagami, Light Yagami's father. Soichiro is one of the most respected cops around, and the one most dedicated to catching Kira.
- Team Kira
- Japanese Task Force
- Special Provision For Kira
- Rogue
Date of Birth: February 28, 1986 (1989 in the anime) | Age: 17-18 | Zodiac sign: Pisces | Birthplace: Japan | Height: 179 cm (5'10") | Weight: 64.1 kg (141 lbs) | Blood type:A | Light's name is no coincidence. One of the many translations of "Lucifer" -- you know, the Devil, Satan, God's nemesis etc. -- is "light-bringing." In Light's case, the "light" he's bringing is his own form of vigilante justice -- all with the help of the Death Note. After Light obtains this book and discovers its pow...
Date of Birth: Unknown | Age: Unknown | Zodiac sign: Unknown | Birthplace:: Unknown | Height: (estimated) 198 cm (6'6") | Weight: Unknown | Blood type: N/A | Shinigami Rank:C Ryuk is the reason why there's even an anime/manga (or a Death Note characters list, for that matter). He's the Shinigami who "dropped" his Death Note into the human world because he was bored. Once Light obtains the Death Note, Ryuk wastes no time and introduces himself to its new owner, providing certain details about...

This girl -- a famous model, singer and actress -- just so happens to get her hands on another death note. It's rather appropriate that she just so happensto have a thing for Kira, too.

And L is definitely cunning (and more). In fact, two of L's other aliases are regarded as the second and third best detectives in the world. L is a highly secretive dude. In fact, he's only showed himself to a few Death Note characters in the Japanese Task Force. Before jo...
Date of Birth: May 1, 1933 (1936 in the anime) | Age: 70-71 | Zodiac: Taurus | Birthplace: England? | Height: 175 cm (5' 9") | Weight: 51 kg (112 lbs.) | Blood Type:B Watari is to L like how Alfred is to Batman. Watari is both a fatherly figure to L and is his assistant (pfft!we'll call him L's butler). The difference is that Watari is hella more badass than Alfred, being well trained in espionage and marksmanship. Watari also communicates like L does via computers - except, for obvious reaso...

Conflict! What's so devastating about Souichirou is that he adores his family and is known for his high moral standing, gaining him the respect of many Death Note characters. What's even...
Date of Birth: August 24, 1991 (1994 in anime) | Age: 13 | Zodiac: Virgo | Birthplace: England? | Height: 155 cm (5'1") | Weight: 40 kg (88 lbs) | Blood Type:B There's something about L and his two successors having intense obsessions with certain things. While L has an affinity for sweets, Near has a rather amusing interest in toys, which he uses to come up with strategies. And Near needs all the help he can get; he's the head of SPK (Special Provision for Kira). Near has adopted some of L's...
Date of Birth: January 6, 1968 (1971 in anime) | Age: 42 | Zodiac: Capricorn | Birthplace: England? | Height: 190 cm (6' 3") | Weight: 84 kg (185 lbs) | Blood Type:O Anthony Rester is Near's go-to guy: he's SPK's second in command and leader of operations.

She's a former Secret Service and CIA agent, and she only joined the SPK to avenge a close acquaintance who was killed by one of the Kiras. Halle is also kind of a double-dealing backstabber. But it's to satisfy her vengeance, so it's okay, right? While she works for Near, she also leaks informat...

Heck, he turned against Near when it was decided that Mello should work with him. Despite being Near's senior, Mello is quite brash (unlike Near), normally acting on impulse. Oh, and Mello is a lot like L in that he adores sweets. Except,...
