Death Note L AbyStyle Studio Figure

Product Information

In Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid episode 6, a character resembling L was briefly seen riding a bike. L Lawliet, is a world renowned detective who takes on the challenge of catching the serial killer known as Kira. Additionally, it is proven that he possesses a dry sense of humor, and that he is not beyond making caustic remarks to other people. L comes across as condescending at times, despite the fact that he is generally polite (especially to members of the Task Force like Shuichi Aizawa). Matsuyama admits having experienced some difficulty in trying to portray L, and he worried about his performance. In the end, he decided to interpret L as an individual who does not "quite understand other people on an emotional level"—the actor reasoned that L rarely interacted with others, and as a consequence, his social skills and emotional expressiveness may not be those of a socially active person. Matsuyama, describing himself as "not very flexible physically," encountered difficulty in emulating L's postures. The actor also ate sweets that L would eat, and carefully considered the details of L's signature gestures. With his status as the world's greatest detective, he, like Light, has a very sensitive pride, being afraid to be wrong in his deductions and theories, evident through his drastic measures (torturing Misa and confining Light during an unnecessarily lengthy amount of time), and lethargic behavior during the beginning of the Yotsuba arc.

L: Change the WorLd chronicles the 23 days that L has left before he dies. L decides to solve one last case. He is in charge of stopping a deadly virus from spreading across the world. Ryuk comes to his aid on behalf of Kira's last wishes. Hideo Nakata, the director, told The Daily Yomiuri that he wanted to exhibit L's "human side," a quality which was not made all too apparent in the Death Note series. When Misa finds evidence as to who the Third Kira is, L is a little underwhelmed, but comes up with a plan to stop Higuchi regardless. L uses Matsuda as bait during a Sakura TV talk show to lure Higuchi onto the scene, only for the Task Force members to ambush him. Higuchi makes an escape, but with the help of Ide and his return, the Task Force catches up to him. L finally discovers the Death Note, how Kira kills, and discovers the Shinigami, Rem. Light and Misa regain their memories as Kira, and L discovers a rule, one where if someone doesn't write within the notebook within 13 consecutive days, they die. Despite this being a perfect alibi for Light, L still suspects him. Due to pressure from the Task Force now believing Light and Misa are in the clear, L releases Misa and removes the handcuffs from his and Light's hands.

Matsuyama said that L and Light are "extremely" alike in that they have "very strong sense of justice." The novel also states that L helped in the prevention of World War III when he was only eight years old.

GOOD SMILE RACING

Ohba claims he left "everything" about L's character design to Obata, who asked Ohba if L could be "unattractive." Afterwards, Ohba would include his ideas about the character into his thumbnails, including L's posture when seated, and notes such as: "he's English," and "he's listless." He also added details regarding L's mannerisms, and his "sweet tooth." Apart from all that, Ohba credits Obata for the character designs. Like Light, he is extremely proud of his position as the world’s greatest detective, and his fear of being proven wrong in his deductions and theories leads him to take extreme measures (mistreating Misa and confining Light for an unnecessary amount of time) and act listlessly at some time. In addition, he has a few peculiar habits, such as the fact that he prefers to squat rather than sit, that he prefers only sweet foods (such as sweets, candies, and fruits), and that he holds things with his thumb and index finger. Additionally, he sits in an unorthodox manner, with both feet on the chair at the same time.

He sometimes however, uses percentage to rate how much he suspects someone, but that in its own way, is a lie. Once L considers someone a suspect, the person would always be on his radar, irrespective of how small or high the percentage of suspicion is. As the author of the series, Tsugumi Ohba, joked while making light of L’s strategies by saying, The reality is, he’s a liar. Shūsuke Kaneko, director of the films, said that L's role was the most difficult to cast; as the starting date of the shooting schedule drew near, many of the "big name" actors had other projects. Kaneko decided to offer the role to Ken'ichi Matsuyama, "very much a newcomer." When Matsuyama spoke to him of his intention to "live as L," the young actor had "clinched it," declares Kaneko. After meeting the Japanese Task Force, he requests that the task force refer to him as "Ryuzaki" as an additional safety measure. The Task Force never learns his true name, and it is revealed in neither the manga nor anime.When asked about L's ethnicity, creator of the series Tsugumi Ohba responded, "I think of him as a quarter Japanese, a quarter English, a quarter Russian, a quarter French or Italian, like that." Ohba said that L is the most intelligent character in the entire Death Note series because "the plot requires it." He added that he personally views L as "slightly evil." Not even his real name was known to anyone in the anime, and not even before or after his death, except to Rem, the Shinigami that killed him in a bid to save Misa. But some media has reported that L’s real name is Lawliet. L's Appearance Not satisfied unless you're Kira…? Yes, that may be true… I have just realized something… I wanted you to be Kira…" ( Chapter 38) L receives major changes in the drama adaptation. Unlike his manga and anime counterpart, this live-action L sits properly, albeit with his feet on tables and his legs crossed, regularly wears shoes, and eschews sweets and candy in favour of energy drinks. He is also portrayed as far more bold, evident in episode 2 when he accuses Light and several other suspects as being Kira over the phone without even using a voice scrambler. He shows more emotions than L does in the manga, screaming during his fight with Light and laughing when he knows he has Light cornered.

In the Italian version, rather than using the letter "L" to spell his name, the phonetic spelling ("Elle") is used.

L's name, L Lawliet, was first revealed in Death Note 13: How to Read on a promotional card featured at the beginning of the book.
