Light Yagami
Pauline Wong of "OtakuZone" had her opinions of the film portrayal of Light Yagami published in "The Star", a Malaysian newspaper. In it, Wong says that the "very "bishie"-status-worthy" Fujiwara portrayed Light with "aplomb and near-perfection, right down to the evil little smile". Kitty Sensei, quoted in the same Malaysian article, says that the portrayal of Light in the film is "very faithful to the manga's".
