Unnamed Shinigami



An unnamed Shinigami debuted in the Director's Cut special of Death Note; like Ryuk, he too was bored with the Shinigami realm. This Shinigami has a skeletal figure and dons a coat, a pair of goggles, and uses a tie as a headband. He takes an interest in Ryuk's visit to the human realm, and bribes Ryuk with an apple in exchange for information to undertake passage into the human world. Ryuk accepts, but instead recaps the story of Light Yagami's correlation with a Death Note. After meeting Ryuk, he ventures off with sights set on the human world. Some members of the fanbase believe this Shinigami to be Light because of three things; his coat being similar to Light's when he died, the way he tosses Ryuk's apple, and the fact he knows Ryuk enjoys apples.
