Kenichi Matsuyama
L is portrayed by Kenichi Matsuyama in the live-action films that adapt the "Death Note" manga, with his portrayal and characterization of the character receiving wide praise for being earnestly faithful to his original manga counterpart. Unlike the manga, in the second film, his "death", caused by Rem writing his name in her Death Note, does not take effect, as L had written his own name in Misa's Death Note earlier.
