Misa Amane (弥 海砂, Amane Misa), (Seiyū: Aya Hirano)A young girl who has an immense crush on Kira. She is a famous model, and tends to wear clothing in Gothic Lolita style. She is immature and has a tendency to refer to herself in the third person in an attempt to be cute.
Misa's parents were killed on the street, the criminal's trial was delayed multiple times - due to the lack of evidence - it appeared he would be released, however the murderer happened to be one of the many criminals Kira kills. When she heard of Kira, a person who kills criminals that police and officials cannot arrest (and those they already have but have not tried/sentenced), she felt the need to be with him to join him on his crusade against criminals.
Misa is totally devoted to Light, and she has said once that she loved him "at first sight." Light, however, only views her as an asset to his plans because of her Death Note and her "Shinigami Eyes" power, that she obtained at the cost of half of her remaining life span.
Shinigami (The Death Gods)
Ryuk (リューク, Ryūku, Seiyū: Shidou Nakamura)
The Shinigami who dropped a Death Note in the human world, which was subsequently picked up by Light. It was revealed that Ryuk did that out of boredom, as there was little to do in the Shinigami world. It was revealed in the fourth volume of the manga that Ryuk obtained a second death note by tricking the King of Death into giving him another one. Ryuk has a great fondness for apples. He tells Light that apples are to Shinigami as what cigarettes and alcohol are to humans; if he goes too long without one his withdrawal symptoms are that he stands on his head and twists his body into a pretzel-like shape. This is seen in volumes 3, 4, and 5.
Rem (レム, Remu?)
Misa's Shinigami. Rem cares deeply for Misa, and is willing to do anything to protect her from harm even if it costs her her life. Although Rem is female, there is no distinction between male and female shinigami.
Gelus (ジェラス, Jyerasu?)
Gelus appeared in volume 4 when Rem explained how to kill a Shinigami. In a flashback, Gelus looked down at Misa in the human world with Rem wondering behind him how she would die. Then it was revealed that Gelus was in love with her and killed Misa's destined murderer with his Death Note. A few minutes later Gelus himself died, turning to sand and rust, and his lifespan was transferred to Misa.
Shidou
Shidou is a Shinigami that came to the human world to retrieve the death note that Ryuk stole from him. He soon found out his death note was in the hands of Mello and he revealed himself to him and his henchmen by touching the death note. Shidou agreed to work for Mello in exchange for eventually getting his notebook back. It was because of this that the first raid on Mello's HQ became a failure, as Shidou pulled the helmets off the soldier's heads, which allowed Snyder to see their names. During the second raid on Mello's HQ, Ryuk convinced Shidou to step aside so they could kill Mello, and therefore Shidou could reclaim his notebook. After the raid, Shidou reclaimed his death note and returned to the Shinigami world.
Near (ニア, Nia?)Like Mello, Near was one of the candidates to become L's successor. He too shares a similarity to L: Much like L played with things such as sugar cubes and forks, Near is seen playing with toys throughout the series. When he received word of L's death, he first offered to team up with Mello to find and capture Kira. When his offer was turned down, he gained the support of the US government and formed the SPK.
Near quickly came to believe that the new L was also Kira. As the series progresses, he became more and more sure of his suspicions and continued to read Light's movements. At last, with the help of members of the SPK, Light's own team for pursuing Kira, and Mello, Near managed to prove that Light was indeed Kira and that Mikami was his accomplice during a fateful encounter at a warehouse. A year after the events in the warehouse, it is shown that Near became the next L. Near is also shown eating a chocolate bar as he plays with his toys in
Mello (メロ, Mero)
Mello was an orphan who grew up with Near in Watari's shelter for gifted children. He was also a primary candidate to become L's successor. Similar to L's fondness for sweets, he is often seen eating chocolate. When he received news of L's death, he swore to avenge L's death by capturing Kira. To this end, he teamed up with a group of criminals and proceeded to kidnap the NPA director and trade him for the Deathnote. The director, however committed suicide, so he kidnapped Light's sister, Sayu instead.
As the story progresses, Mello managed to get ahold of a Death Note, though he lost possession of it not long after and gained a scar over one of his eyes.
L (Ryuzaki/Ryuga) , (Seiyū: Kappei Yamaguchi)The world's top rated detective, tasked with tracking down and arresting Kira. His disheveled appearance masks his great powers of deduction and insight. He has many quirks, such as sitting in an odd manner and snacking on sweets in the middle of meetings. His intelligence matches or exceeds Light Yagami's. He often takes drastic strategies to confuse and force his opponents.
By traditional measures of storytelling, L (Ryuzaki by nickname) is the main hero of the story. He has dedicated his life to catching Kira. On several occasions he willingly discloses several of his weaknesses to Kira at the risk of his own life in the hopes that he will lure Kira into a trap and catch him.
alt="" />Light Yagami/Kira (夜神 月, Yagami Raito), (Seiyū: Mamoru Miyano)The protagonist, and in some ways the antagonist, of Death Note. An intelligent young man who picked up the Death Note dropped in the human world by Ryuk, a Shinigami (death god, literal translation). He decided to use the Death Note to kill all criminals, with the ultimate goal of cleansing the world of evil and creating a utopia.
