Light Yagami

Summary
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 people of Japan as the work of Kira.

Light is a very hardworking student and also a natural genius. He condemns the lack of justice in this world and goes as far as to call the world "rotten". After acquiring the Death Note, his main goal is to create a new world that is free of criminals and injustice, where innocent and kind people can live in peace and becoming this world's new God.

Throughout the series, Light starts to develop a ruthless personality, ready to kill everyone that would intervene with his "grand design" and becomes a very manipulative person.
