Light Yagami is an outstanding student from Japan who wanted to kill all the criminals around him. One day, his life undergoes a radical change when he finds a strange supernatural notebook called "Death Note", lying on the ground. Behind the booklet had instructions on their use, where he said that if he wrote the name of a person and mentally visualized the face of it, he would die in the manner specified, but if not espicificaba death of the person to die of an attack to corazóndespues 40 seconds.
At first, Light suspicious of the authenticity of the book, but after a test on two occasions with a man who had abducted some children from a nursery and the other was making him hit by a truck for attempting to rape a girl, realizes that his power was real. After five days, is visited by the true owner of Death Note, a shinigami named Ryuk, who tells him that he had dropped the Death Note to Earth because he was bored, and in turn Light tells him that his goal was to kill all criminals, in order to cleanse the world of evil and become the "god of the new world."
Later, the number of inexplicable deaths of criminals called the attention of the FBI and a famous private detective known as "L". L follows quickly that the serial murderer, nicknamed by the public as "Kira" (キラ, '" Kira "'derived from the typical Japanese pronunciation of the English word' killer ', lit." murderer ") - was in Japan. Also realizes that Kira could kill people without putting a finger on them. Light discovers that L will be one of its biggest rivals, and there will be a psychological game between them.
Misa Amane, a famous Japanese idol who carries a Death Note, which was presented by Rem at the request of Jealous, meets Light. Mass had become obsessed with Kira after he had killed the murderer of her parents, so that is dedicated to helping Light, posing as the "second Kira", until he was captured and imprisoned by L, because she suspected . Light outlines a plan to relinquish ownership of the Death Note-both yours and the Mass-and thus forget their memories to rescue her. After losing his memories, Light is released to begin to experiment with L on a group of criminals called "Yotsuba" who possessed the Death Note to Misa.
At the stop, Light regains all his memories at the moment it touches the Death Note. Rem, being manipulated by Light to act on their behalf, kills L and his assistant, Watari. Since a breach of the rules of the Death Note, Rem dies soon after, increasing the lifetime of mass. After the death of L, Light Takes Office 'new L' in the research group.
Five years later, Near and Mello are the true successors of L, which divide to see who can catch Kira first. Near, with government assistance, created the SPK, an organization founded with the explicit aim to capture Kira. While Mello makes a deal with the Mafia to achieve the same goal. Mello began to implement its plan and the powers to investigate and Near-Death Note posing Light L-contact, who also posed as L. Light did not expect that L had successors, so you have to avoid deductions from them again so we can realize their ambitions.
Subsequently, Light decides to look for a person to replace you for a while in his work as Kira, as Near was beginning to suspect him and Misa would not work anymore. Therefore, Teru Mikami chooses a man who admired Kira as a god. Mello, with the help of his friend Matt, kidnaps Kiyomi Takada, who was Light's girlfriend in college, but then uses it to complete their plans. Matt gunned dies after chase Takada's bodyguards, Mello was given the opportunity to flee. However, it is killed by Takada, which had a piece of the Death Note, but later is killed by Takada Light. On the other hand, makes contact with Light Near and his team to conduct a meeting. Light takes the opportunity to communicate to investigate Mikami on the real names of the members of the SPK. When the day of the meeting arrives, Mikami writes the names of the members of the SPK in his Death Note, but Near explains that nothing would happen, because with the help of Stephen Gevanni had changed this notebook for a fake. Light, feeling cornered by the deductions of Near reveals that it was all true and try to kill him with a piece of Death Note that was on your watch. However, Tota Matsuda, one of the Kira case agents shoots, being badly wounded. Mikami commits suicide because Light had been defeated and seizing the moment it escapes and goes on to record everything that lived. In the end, Ryuk writes Light's name in his Death Note and he dies.
characters
Light
It's a good guy, it hurts that it finds the death note, but failed to find one we would have no history, so it was partly good luck
Known detective, tasked with solving great mysteries. The truth is that nobody knows your face or real name.
Go to the Kira case, and chooses a select group for help in their investigation, among them is the father of Light, which reveals his identity.
Highly intelligent and deductive suspect a lot of Light, to the point of going to school and tell it. Light invited to participate in research, but warns him that is still suspicious of him, though his chances are slim.
His personality seems a little eccentric, and always tends to sit with his feet on the chair, he says that if you do not feel well, your powers of deduction decrease xD
In addition to that loves all kinds of sweet. A little scruffy, with a very particular way of making phones
Missa
It is a famous model. His companion is shinigami Rem, who gave the death note of gelus, after it died to protect Misa.She worships Kira, and will do everything to meet him, to impersonate him to get his attention. Then he falls in love with Light, but very very down to the obsession. The reason for his attachment to Kira, is that his parents were killed, and thanks to Kira they are punished, so he really feels is justice and share their ideals.
His personality at first seems a bit childish, and cheerful. Unlike Light, she did have the contract for the shinigami eyes, to let you know the name of someone he sees his face.

N
Decides to form a group in the United States SPK, quickly begins to suspect that Light is Kira. She loves toys. It's the characters I've found that not many people like him (personally I do not like), perhaps because citnta be a substitute for L, but acts more precipitously, and gives the impression that only wants to catch Kira not to be surpassed by Mello.
Watori
Although it is an older person is very attached to L, is responsible for keeping records of the investigation, but not only that, also in charge of his clothes and sweets.
It is also very skilled with firearms
Mello
Mello grew up in the same place as Near, L and Matt, in the foundation Watari. It was also considered one of the main successors of L, but its only drawback to become the successor is that it is very impulsive, are swayed by emotions rather than reason.
Mikami
A lawyer who is always looking for justice, but called attention to the thinking of Kira, as well as assisting television address this issue. This is how you choose Light, thinks it will be the right person to help you for a while to act as the murderer. So similar that not even think they have to communicate directly, and indeed it is useful to Light, for a while ...
Kiyomi
A seemingly normal person, nothing is known of her until the second half of Death Note, where he appears as a spokesperson in a television program for KIRA. Maintains contact with what angers Light Misa. His personality does not seem relevant only other person is used by Light
