History

He was the first son of Soichiro and Sachiko Yagami, and the older brother of Sayu Yagami. He was the owner of the Death Note. Light finds the Death Note and uses it to kill criminals who mainly appeared in the news, then he began killing criminals. He later became known in Japan under the name Kira 「キラ, Kira?」 (based on the Japanese pronunciation of the English word Killer). He joined the police force to get close to his enemy L and finish him off.

Appearance:

Light was a young man with a somewhat fragile physical appearance, quite thin, weighing only 54kg and tall, measuring 179cm. He had brown hair, somewhat long and unkempt. His eyes were brown and he had thin eyebrows. He considers him to be very handsome, a trait noted by Misa Amane and Kiyomi Takada. His outfits varied throughout the series; The most characteristic one consisted of his school uniform, which was made up of a white shirt, light brown jacket and pants, dark brown shoes and a burgundy tie. After obtaining the Death Note, he begins to wear different combinations of long-sleeved shirts and pants, mainly in neutral colors. As a member of the Special Investigation Force, it was common to wear suits in light, neutral colors.

Personality

Light is characterized as a bored, courageous, and intelligent boy. He is 17 years old at the start of the anime and manga, and despite being young, he is as confident in his own sense of logic and creativity as he is in regards to others. At the beginning of the story, he is presented to us as a person who, despite his intelligence and getting good grades at school, is frustrated by the iniquity that inhabits the world. Believing the world to be "rotten", he desires a means by which he can enact his justice and will to purge the world of all evil. Light is a determined and direct man with what he thinks, not caring at all about staining his hands with the blood of others of the people he has killed. This action concludes in the end that he is capable of doing anything in order to achieve his goal, this being one of the main causes of his corruption as a person. Throughout the series, Light is constantly trying to evade suspicion from L and the other detectives by keeping his identity as "Kira" a secret as much as possible and cleaning up the world of crime. The fact that he considers himself a god and knowledgeable about the law also adds to his distorted notion of reality that only he is best suited to judge humanity and direct it to follow a proper moral course, developing in him an extremist narcissism where he cares for no one but himself, a strong megalomania and a great arrogance which becomes evident once he is discovered.

Given

Light uses the Death Note with the sole purpose of cleansing the world of crime and injustice. Light's ultimate goal is to create a world that is free of criminals and populated only by people he judges to be responsible, hardworking and good, thus becoming the "God of the New World". However, despite the nobleness of his purposes, his methods are far from being approved by society and the authorities, considering him a maniacal and childish serial killer, who only seeks to satisfy his own ego.
