Light Yagami, also known as Kira and God of the New World, is the main protagonist from the Death Note series.
== Charactah Account ==
Light is a genius student who has one major flaw namely, one hell of a God complex. He has a hatred of the criminal element of the world, but for most of his life took a "what can you do" approach. Then, he finds the Death Note dropped by the Shinigami -Ryuk and his world is turned upside down. He begins using the notebook to kill criminals, believing that in doing so, he could scare the world into becoming more law-abiding.
Light finds an equal and opposite in L, the elusive international detective hired to find and prove the identity of the person behind the mysterious string of murders.

== Trivia ==
* The name Yagami means "night god."
* Light is portrayed in a crucified-like position on the twelfth and final manga cover. This position is mimicked by Light during the second ending sequence in the anime and again when he is portrayed as a secret Nendoroid figure for the Death Note Case File merchandise line. This position connects to Light's desire to be a Messiah figure of the human race similar to the Christian Messiah, Jesus Christ.
* In the anime, certain characters take on stylized hair colors while the viewer hears their thoughts; Light's color is red.
* In Death Note Relight 1: Visions of a God, an unnamed Shinigami appears in the Shinigami Realm. This new Shinigami asks the others where the rogue Shinigami named Ryuk is. Some believe this unnamed Shinigami was created with the intention of having viewers connect him with Light as a sort of reincarnation, though this isn't canonically possible due to the existence of Mu.
* Light is one of the Death Note characters that were made into Nendoroid figures. The Light Nendoroid comes with small Death Note and a pen which he holds and three faces: a laughing face, an angry face, and a normal face.
