While studying, whenever Light places his hand in the potato chip bag, he actually checks for criminals' names using the mini-TV then writes down their names. When Light is about to study for his upcoming entrance exams, he has placed a snippet of the notebook and a mini-LCD TV within a potato chip bag (which contains a flavor which only he out of the rest of his family prefers). With this trick, Light manages to kill two petty criminals. Unlike his manga counterpart, this Light is not as confident and is unwilling to kill law enforcement. After a meeting with Light… Near calls the Task Force and informs them of a meeting Near wants to arrange, taking place at The meeting commences, and Mikami begins writing everyone's name within the notebook, with the only one whose name isn't written down is confirmed to be Kira. Celui-ci déclare avoir volontairement laissé tomber son carnet dans le but de se divertir. Her body is never found due to the specifications made by Light in the Death Note.

Light feels obligated to get rid of the kidnappers as well as the American organization as soon as possible, as they are currently the only people besides the Task Force who know of the existence of the Death Note. Overlooking the whole plot and how their reationship developed I believe they did. They hang out together at a cafe afterward. Light thinks the ordeal is over, but the broadcast of Tailor is suddenly cut, and L's signature letter 'L' appears. Every single thing that Rem did was in Misa's best interest, so it's especially heartbreaking when Misa while being completely and utterly manipulated by Light, begs Rem to kill L even if it meant that Rem in turn would die.It's not something that she ever seems to regret, either, as audiences never hear her feelings on the matter afterward. As Light ponders over this, he accepts L's challenge to him. Light reveals he has hidden scandalous magazines and proceeds to browse through them in order to give off the impression to L that he is a normal teenager, and that the magazines were what he was hiding all along. Misa is then taken away, with L revealing that he found DNA evidence in Misa's room pointing towards Misa being the second Kira. Fujiwara explained that he wanted Light to cry in a particular scene even though Kaneko told Fujiwara "Light doesn’t cry" since Fujiwara believed that the scene would feel "more honest"; Kaneko used the take. Light, being exposed as Kira, attempts to deny it, but with his declaration of victory as well as the evidence Near provided, everyone is convinced Light is Kira. Light then says that all the Task Force's surveillance cameras and most of the wiretaps must be removed as per Kira's request. This allowed Near to seize the real notebook which Mikami had used to write down her name. Months later, while L is sulking and not working on the case, Light finds a correlation between the killings and the growth of Misa eventually finds evidence pointing towards Kyosuke Higuchi being Kira. During dinner, L has a message appear on TV, stating that the ICPO has dispatched 1500 investigators to Japan to investigate Kira, but Light sees through this bluff.

Light a les cheveux bruns et les yeux de la même couleur. While the Task Force discovers the Death Note, Light touches it, regaining his memories as Kira once again. Light comes to the conclusion that, with this act, L is attempting to prevent Light from meeting with the Task Force. The main idea is that L would see that criminals have died which Light could not have possibly see, being busy in his room, studying. Tatsuya Fujiwara said that he felt difficulty portraying Light in the film series because of the lack of "action" and because Light has no signature mannerisms and therefore has his feelings displayed by his face; Fujiwara added that he struggled conveying Light's "incredible amount of intelligence" and that the performance would appear "very empty or simplistic" if Light received an improper portrayal. During their second meeting, Mikami calls them, and Light manages to confirm to Mikami that Light is Kira and Mikami confirm to Light that Mikami is the new Kira proxy via subtle communication.

Light grew up in Japan with his family, which consists of his father, 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. Interestingly, Mia emulates the ruthless qualities that originated from Light's manga counterpart such as a willingness to kill law enforcement to protect their identities as Kira.
