Death Note: Rewrite

1. Genshisuru Kami (Visions of a God)
A two hour episode of Death Note, mainly a compilation of the confrontations between Light and L, re-edited from Ryuk's perspective with new dialogue and soundtrack along with additional animation that could not be included in the original series.  An Unnamed Shinigami comes to Ryuk to question him about his new story in the human world.
2. L o Tsugu Mono (L's Successors)
This story continues where the previous left off, continuing the story of Light. As the previous special told Light and L's battles, this story does the same with the conflicts between Light, Mello, and Near.

Blood type: A Occupation: high school student, university student, detective Age (during the series): 17-23 Likes: justice Dislikes: evil  Light, born on February 28, 1986, is a third year high school student (12th grade) at Daikoku Private Academy (å¤§å›½å­¦åœ’, Daikoku Gakuen) who also attends supplemental classes at Gamou Prep Academy in the beginning of the story. Light has a father, Soichiro Yagami, who is the head of the Police Force. Light also has a mother, Sachiko Yagami, and a younger sister, Sayu Yagami.  In Spring 2004, Light becomes a first-year student (freshman) at To-Oh University (æ�±å¿œå¤§å­¦, TÅ�Å� Daigaku), becoming one of two freshman representatives; L is the other freshman representative. During a tennis game with L at To-Oh, spectators reveal that Light was the junior high school tennis champion in 1999 and 2000. After his 2000 victory, Light quit tennis as he entered high school.  Yagami Light is a brilliant college student. Nicknamed "Kira," he uses the Death Note to create his ideal world of justice under him; its new God. Though he looks frail, Light is an extremely athletic person, with an aptitude to find an opponent's weak point. He is a genius, which adds to his notion that only he is fit to judge humanity and steer it on a proper moral course.  He gets shot by Matsuda after his plan failed and then dies because Ryuk wrote his name in his Death Note. (January 28, 2010 in the manga; January 28, 2013 in the anime)

Light Yagami

Birthday: October 31, 1979 (1982 in anime) Zodiac sign: Scorpio Height: 179 cm (5'10") Weight: 110 lbs. Likes: sweets Dislikes: Wearing socks Date of Death: November 5, 2004 (2007 in anime) L, who also uses the aliases Hideki Ryuga, Ryuzaki, Eraldo Coil and Deneuve, the latter two for which he has developed reputations as the second—and third—best detectives in the world, is quite secretive and only communicates with the world through his assistant Watari. He never shows his face to the world, instead representing himself with a capital L in Cloister Black font. After meeting the Kira investigation team, he requests that the task force refer to him as Ryuzaki for discretion. The Kira investigation team never learns his true name.  L's disheveled and languid appearance masks his great powers of deduction and insight. He tends to second-guess everything he is presented with, and is extremely meticulous and analytical. He has several quirks such as preferring to crouch rather than sit, eating only sweet foods like desserts and fruits, and holding items very delicately. He stayed in England for five years, and during that time he was the champion in tennis for the England Junior Cup.  L suggests that even though he eats only sweet foods, he remains underweight because the brain uses the most calories of any organ in the body. He also says that if he sits normally, his reasoning ability would drop 40%.  (Source: Wikipedia, Death Note Profiles)

L Lawliet

Age: 13-15 pre-timeskip, 19-20 post-timeskip Birthdate: December 13, 1989 Blood type: A Likes: chocolate Dislikes: those better than him  Mello is the older of L's two successors raised in Wammy's House, Watari's orphanage for gifted children, in Winchester, England, United Kingdom. When it is decided that Mello should work with the other successor, Near, Mello refuses, citing an inability to work with Near, to whom he is considered second. Similar to L's fondness for sweets, Mello is often seen eating bars of chocolate. How to Read 13 states that Mello has "an excellent mind" and that he "sometimes lets his emotions get in his way." The book cites Mello's "hatred of Near," which created "a flaw in [Mello's] personality." The book states that Mello isn't purely evil, citing his apology and genuine care for Matt's well-being. Tsugumi Ohba, the writer of Death Note, stated that Mello "works hard for everything." Ohba added that Mello's name "doesn't really stand for anything," as opposed to Near's name standing for Nate River, etc.  Mello is voiced by Nozomu Sasaki in the Japanese anime, David Hurtwitz in the English version and Javier Olguín in the Latin Spanish dub.  Mello decides to find Kira his own way by joining the Mafia. After obtaining one of the Death Notes from the Kira investigation team by kidnapping Sayu Yagami, Light Yagami sets up a raid that leaves Mello badly scarred and his real name in Light's hands. After learning that Light is Kira and Near was going to attempt to apprehend him, Mello kidnaps Kiyomi Takada, but is soon killed by Takada's hidden pages of the Death Note. This action causes Teru Mikami to expose his own Death Note to kill Takada, an action that Near picks up on and is eventually able to use to thwart Light's plans. Near reflects this during the final showdown and credits Mello as the single most pivotal person in discovering Light's plans. Hal Lidner further believes that it was Mello's plan that he would be killed to expose Light's plan, but Near rejects this theory. His date of death is January 26th, 2010. Age 20. Mello is the narrator of the spinoff novel Death Note - Another Note: The Los Angeles BB Murder Cases.

Likes: apples, the human world, chaos, Misa Dislikes: Being bored, not having apples, relapse  The original Shinigami who dropped the Death Note in the human world, and also love apples, which Light would pick up. Acting out of pure boredom, Ryuk begins the story of Death Note on a whim. Perhaps neutral by nature, Ryuk often refuses to aid Light and instead enjoys watching him struggle for his goal. The most important facet of Ryuk's character is that he is not Light's friend. He acts for his own interests and entertainment, and often fails to tell Light key details about the Death Note. Ryuk is selfish, however, and will aid Light if it serves his own goals, such as providing amusement or obtaining apples.  (Source: Wikipedia)

Ryuk

Raye Penber is an American Investigator from the FBI, who was sent to Japan along with 11 other FBI agents to track down Kira. Raye was assigned to investigate the Yagami family for any suspicious behavior; but eventually stops suspecting Light.   Light staged a bus-jacking incident in order to obtain Raye's identity. Light, acting as if Raye were a part of the bus-jacking persuades Raye into revealing his FBI identification card. Raye shows Light, but is hesitant to do so. A week after the bus-jacking, Light acting as 'Kira' follows Raye and use him as a 'pawn' to track down the other 11 agents. He gives Raye an envelope containing sheets of paper, taken from the Death Note. Raye, unknowingly, writes the names of the other agents on the paper.   Light kills Raye soon after. Before Raye dies, he sees Light, realizing that he is indeed Kira. Raye is engaged to a former FBI agent, Naomi Misora, who later attempts to investigate the 'Kira' case.  (Source: Wikipedia)

Higuchi Kyousuke is the third "Kira", receiving the Death Note from Rem, who was instructed to give it to a "greedy", "forceful", and "selfish" individual who would use the Death Note to attain a higher status that was out of his reach.  He was the head of Technology Development at the Yotsuba Corporation, and is part of the Yotsuba Group, eight members of the Yotsuba Corporation that use the Death Note to kill individuals from competing companies to dominate the business industry.

She is mentioned to be a former CIA agent.   In the manga, Lidner knows Mello and leaks SPK information to Mello; Near is unaware of Lidner's SPK information leaking. When Mello questions her and asks her which side she is on(Near or his), She replies that she is on neither side, and merely helps both of them because they are after Kira. Later on, she calls Mello and tells him about Near's plan(Having Mikami write everyone's name down in the notebook), and he replies "I'm the only one who can do it.". This can be seen as the real push that drove Mello to kidnap Takada and eventually save the lives of both investigation teams.  Mikami views her real name, Halle Bullook, with his Shinigami eyes and proceeds to write her name as well as the other SPK members' names into his Death Note, but she remains alive due to the notebook being a fake.

Halle Bullook

Birthday: November 2  Wedy, real name Mary Kenwood, is a professional burglar in the employ of L. She installs bugs in the Yotsuba Group's meeting room to secretly observe the group's weekly meetings. She does the same for Higuchi's car, allowing the team to watch his desperate attempts to kill Matsuda. Since she is a professional criminal, she is known solely in the underworld.  Wedy uses her initial in computer communication; to avoid confusion with Watari ("W"), she deliberately uses the lowercase form, "w".  She (like Aiber) is referenced to, but does not appear in, Death Note: Another Note.  Ohba said that he created Aiber and Wedy so he could use characters with "special abilities" to advance the storyline. He said that he wanted to use Wedy more than Aiber. As an example he explained a scenario involving Light controlling Wedy, making her place cameras in the headquarters so Misa could see L's face "... or something."  According to Obata, he drew Wedy as a female model as he did not know what kind of character she would be. Obata added that Wedy has the "stereotypical female spy look." Obata believes that if he drew Aiber and Wedy to look "a little bit more original", Ohba could have included the characters in a larger role in Death Note.  After L&amp;#039;s death, Light kills her using his Death Note; Mary Kenwood dies in a motorcycle accident in Colorado.

Aizawa, with the investigation team alias of Aihara, leaves the investigation team and remains in the police force after L gives the team members the choice to quit, but continues to assist the investigation team when necessary as a member of the police. Upon L's death, Aizawa returns to the investigation team to work under Light. Upon hearing that the 13 days rule (refer to written rules of the Death Note) is false, he begins to suspect that Light is actually Kira, and contacts Near.

Near agrees to release Aizawa and Mogi afterwards. In the finale, he becomes the leader of the investigation team.   Aizawa has a wife and two children; Aizawa's daughter is named Aizawa Yumi and his wife is named Aizawa Eriko.   (Source: Wikipedia)
