Character summary: The most famous
detective in the world who chased Kira to
the end of the world.
He was one of the top detectives in the world, but
because he had never appeared in public for years

his real identity was shrouded in mystery. With
the Kira case, he stepped onto the stage for the
first time, but the result of that was...
Personality: A stubborn child-like
personality who hates losing.
L himself knew about his almost child-like
trait of hating to lose even in the most
trivial cases. He was extremely suspicious
(of things), and in order to ascertain the
truth for himself, he used various means
to uncover the truth. Because of this,
there were many times in which other
people misunderstood him.
Habit: A very picky eater.
Even during the investigation, there
was no record of L, with his sweet tooth,
having ever eaten a decent meal. Usually,
he was seen eating sweet food like candy.
It seems that he needed to replenish his
sugar level in order for his mind to work.
For him to be able to remain in good shape

even after eating so many sweets was one

of his abilities. Even Misa was envious of him.
Strength: A genius who has a bold
ability to take action.
It is obvious that L's reputation as a famous
detective was the result of his intelligence
and perhaps also because of his ability to
take action. From the boring activity of
looking at a monitor day after day, to the
fast arrangements of securing the culprit,
he could do everything by himself.

"Come! Try and kill me!" (Volume1 Pg75)

For L, who was cautious, this is a very bold statment, but he was confident that 'he

cannot kill me.'

"Justice will prevail." (Volume2 Pg87)

A line that is too immature. Being able to say this without feeling embarrassed shows

the strength of his resolution, or does it have another hidden meaning?

"Light is my very first friend." (Volume4 Pg132)

In the battle against his enemy, L acted out his relationship with Light and Misa. Their

cooperative investigation against Yotsuba was a great combination.

"I might end up liking you!" (Volume6 Pg49)

L's words towards Misa. From his expression, his real intention was hard to read, but this is

most likey flse. It might seem that he was not totally immune to a lady's attraction.
