Biography
Taro thinks the Death Note is a diary, because he knows the word "note" in English but not the word "death". Taro writes about his day and school and writes that A-rou Suzuki and B-rou Tanaka bullied him. However, anyone whose name is written in the Death Note die. That night, at the same time, Suzuki and Tanaka die of heart attacks. Taro searches up the word "death" in the dictionary, and learns the true meaning of the "Death Note". He then meets a Shinigami named Ryuk. Taro is afraid of Ryuk and does not want to accept the existence of Shinigami. Two detectives show up at Taro's house asking questions, but Ryuk suggests that Taro memorize the name on their badges and to kill the two. Taro learned that Ryuk dropped the Death Note on purpose. Ryuk gives Taro the Death Eraser, an eraser which can erase the names in a Death Note. Taro brings Suzuki and Tanaka back to life, and they all return to school. At school, the two cops decide to ask the resurrected boys how they died and came back to life. However Suzuki, Tanaka, three other bullies, and the two officers die of heart attacks. Taro then realizes that Ryuk dropped his other Death Note. Taro finds his classmate Muira, who is also a bully victim. Muira found the other Death Note and killed them all. Muira attempts to kill Taro and then tries to commit suicide by writing his own name, but Taro stops him. He erases the names and visits the two officers, who are now resurrected. Taro and Muira tell the officers about the Death Note. The officers don't believe them, so Taro tells Muira to kill him and then erase his name. Muira writes: " Taro Kagami, peaceful death ". Once the officers find out that Taro is really dead, they erase his name. The officers burn Muira's book and tell the public about the Death Note. Muira apologizes for trying to kill Taro, but Taro never tells anyone that he still owns a Death Note. The last scene ends with everyone talking about the Death Note and the new Death Note movie that's going to be released. Ryuk is then seen with an older, 20 year old Taro, who gets a Death Note survey, and laughs. At this point, everyone still believes that there was only one Death Note and that it was burned, but one notebook remains with Taro and Ryuk.
