 * "SHOW SOME COMPASSION, BELIEVE ME, I"M NOT KIRA!!"

Character changes
Light is a first year college student instead of a high school student and has a girlfriend named Shiori Akino. In the second film, L fakes his death and Light assumes he won. He finds out that it was staged and L already wrote his name in the notebook. Light is shot by Matsuda and has a breakdown, yelling a Ryuk to kill everyone in the room. Instead, Ryuk writes Lights name and Light dies in his father's arms.

Behind the scenes
Light is played by Tatsuya Fujiwara. Fujiwara was 23 years old at the time of the filming of Death Note (2006). He is voice acted by Brad Swaile.

Trivia

 * Fujiwara and Matsuyama became so immersed in their roles that they didn't talk until after production ended
