Death Note Wiki



L (エル, Eru) is a fictional character in the Death Note manga and anime series. He is considered the world's greatest detective, and he takes on the Kira investigation in the first story arc.

Tsugumi Ohba, author/writer of the series, created L as a "force of justice" and a "super detective" who stands between Light and his goals in order to advance the story. Ohba believed that the story would not hold much interest if L was significantly older than Light, so Ohba created L as a young adult. Ohba said that for L's name he wanted to use a single letter with a lot of significance. According to Ohba he considered "I" and "J" but decided that they did not "feel as good" as "L" and, as a result, he chose "L" "after careful consideration." (more...)

The series Death Note centers around a high school student named Light Yagami who discovers a supernatural notebook that allows him to kill anyone by writing the victim's name while picturing his or her face. The plot follows his attempts to become God by creating a New World cleansed of evil, using the book; the complex conflict between himself and all those who try to stop him.
