In the shadows of his study, Light Yagami—known to the world as Kira—examines the Death Note. His sharp intellect and driven sense of justice lie hidden behind the mask of Japan's top student. He has resolved to create a world without crime, delivering judgment by inscribing names. Detective L closes in, but Light coldly eliminates those who obstruct him. Ryuk watches from the sidelines. Misa Amane—model and TV personality—is part of his world. Light, son of Soichiro Yagami, is prepared to do anything for a new order.
