L (Death Note)

==Summary==
L (エル, Eru) is an eccentric and reclusive genius detective who is the lead investigator on the "Kira" case, a serial killing spree caused by the mysterious use of a supernatural notebook called the Death Note. Despite his odd habits, such as slouching, eating sweets, and rarely leaving his headquarters, L possesses exceptional intelligence, deduction skills, and intuition, making him a formidable opponent to the individual behind the Kira killings. Despite his achievements, L's personal life is shrouded in mystery, and he rarely interacts with others outside of his work, leading some to question the extent of his humanity. Despite his quirks and distant demeanor, those who work with him hold a great deal of respect and trust for L, and he remains one of the most legendary detectives in the history of law enforcement.
