light Yagami

mind

But he is extremely hardworking, which separates him from psychopaths who don't want to work for their rewards (also sociopaths have the same problem). Light Yagami is a normal person with high intelligence who decides to leave his own conscience, but this does not mean that he is a sociopath, narcissist or psychopath.

personality

intelligent, charming, and manipulative. At first glance, Light might seem like your average overachieving, hyper-responsible teenager – and to most, that's all he is. Beneath this polite veneer, however, lurks a darker personality, one whose clashing high ideals and cynical disgust cause him to adopt extreme methods.

appearance

Light as he appears in the anime series. Light Yagami was born on February 28, 1986 (or 1989 in the anime). He is portrayed as a teen genius and a model student with a polite, reserved, and gentleman-like personality, who is well-liked and popular among his peers and teachers and known for being the class topper.

likes

Mia Sutton (based on the sociopathic qualities of Light Yagami) is Light's girlfriend, a classmate who assists Light in his activities as "Kira", before supplanting him as Kira.

goal

Believing the world to be "rotten," he uses the notebook as a means by which he can enact his will to rid the world of evil people. As Kira, Light's main goal is to create a new world free of injustice, populated only with people whom he deems honest and kind, and to rule this new world as its "God."

dislikes

Light's unique perspective on the world made him unapproachable and misunderstood by those around him. Light's ego and hubris led him to fall for L's bait and ultimately cost him his chances of redemption.

LIGHT YAGAMI ("JUSTICE") Light Yagami (夜神月, Yagami Raito) is the main protagonist of the Death Note series. After discovering the Death Note, he decides to use it to rid the world of criminals. His killings are eventually labelled by the people living in Japan as the work of "Kira."

Appearance Light is a young man, standing at above average height with light-brown hair and brown eyes. During Part I, when not wearing his school uniform, which consists of a tan suit and red tie, he dresses fairly casually, sometimes sporting a dress shirt underneath a jacket or a V-neck sweater with a collared t-shirt underneath. During Part II, if not wearing a similar style of clothes, he is seen wearing a suit. He is considered to be quite handsome, a trait noted by Misa Amane and Kiyomi Takada, among others.

Light grew up in Japan with his family, which consists of his father, Soichiro Yagami, who is a member of the Japanese Task Force (an investigation team opposing Kira), his mother, Sachiko Yagami, and his younger sister, Sayu Yagami. At the start of the series, Light is a third-year high school student (12th Grade) at Daikoku Private Academy and also attends supplemental classes at Gamou Prep Academy in the beginning of the story. He later attends college at To-Oh University (東応大学, Tōō Daigaku).
