swaile
in the japanese film series, light yagami is portrayed by tatsuya fujiwara, known for his role as shuya nanahara in "battle royale". in the films, he is portrayed as a distinguished, popular and intellectually gifted college student, who has a disregard and frustration of the incapability of the law enforcement system to quell the rampant increase in criminal activities around the world, which drives his motives to use the death note, to change the world into a utopian society without crime, under the alias of a god-like vigilante known as "kira", much like his manga counterpart. however, some slight changes and modifications were made to the character. at the film's beginning, light is a first-year law student at a university, instead of still being in high school as in the beginning of the manga and anime. light's motives also slightly differ; in this version, he uses the death note mainly out of his frustration from the perceived failures of the japanese justice system. light, prior to his discovery of the death note, hacks into the national police database and finds that the government is unable to prosecute many criminals, either due to lack of evidence or technical loop-holes, among other reasons. also, light discovers the death note in an alley during a rainy night after encountering an acquitted felon named takuo shibuimaru in a night-club. another difference is that light meets ryuk right after killing shibuimaru with the death note. at the end of the first movie light kills his girlfriend, shiori akino, and frames her death as a murder and reason to foster hatred for "kira", in order to join the kira investigation team as a result of their sympathy.

light asks misa to uncover the buried death note to kill l. misa, having forgotten l's name, resumes kira's killing spree instead. with suspicion falling upon misa, rem is forced to kill watari and l to protect misa from being arrested again. since shinigami are not allowed to protect humans, the action results in rem's death. for the sake of halting the police-investigation into kira, light proceeds to write his own father's name into his death note, much to misa's horror. strangely, his father doesn't die, and light is surrounded by the police at gunpoint. l also emerges, revealing that he wrote his own name into the death note, scheduling his death a month in advance. as a result, he became immune to further writings in the death note. when watari died, l pretended to die. furthermore, the death note which light attempted to use to kill his father was fake. light, being cornered, pleads with ryuk to kill the people surrounding him, but ryuk decides to kill light instead. he reveals to light that any human who owns a death note is banned from heaven and hell, and will instead spend eternity as nothingness. light dies in his father's arms, begging his father to believe that his actions were for the sake of justice. the police decided to cover up the truth, and to announce that kira killed light and then himself. twenty days later, soichiro meets l one last time before l peacefully passes away. one year later, on light's birthday, soichiro maintains the false story to his wife and sayu, that kira killed light. misa also celebrates light's birthday, loving him but having no recollection of the death note. the film ends with ryuk flying around the tokyo tower and laughing.
