Light Yagami has always been intelligent. He earned top grades and seemed destined for a bright future. Unfortunately, his ego takes over when he discovers the Death Note. Light uses this powerful artifact to play god, purging the world of “its filth” while avoiding capture.
Light’s greatest intellectual feat, however, is committing his crimes under the nose of the world’s greatest detective, L. L is so brilliant that he is recognized (under various aliases) as one of the top detectives in the world. Despite L’s renowned intellect, Light manages to keep his Kira identity hidden for far too long. He even outsmarts L and eventually kills him.
