History Characters / DeathNoteNovelPilotAndMovies

* BadDreams: His victims haunt him in his dreams. Had he been the protagonist of the main series, it's doubtful that he could have gone as far as Light did.

Played by: Mayuko Fukuda

%%* OCStandIn

* OCStandIn: He is a very mysterious figure in canon, and like Matt, much of his characterization comes from {{Fanon}}.

* AProtagonistIsRyu: [[spoiler:Goes by the pseudonym Rue Ryuuzaki]]

* ManInWhite: All of his clothes are white or very light-coloured.

* AllThereInTheManual: According to the tie-in novelization for the film, he was an abusive, controlling and threatening individual, who treated Mikami, his foster father, as a slave.

* MysteriousPast: We never find out who his mother was, but it definitely isn't Misa.

* TheRival: [[spoiler: Of B and L since they were are all competing for the title.]]
%%* TykeBomb

The 13-year-old protagonist of the Death Note Pilot chapter (which takes place in a different continuity than that of the main series). Technically, this makes him the first of the Kiras.

Light's girlfriend in the live action movie.

* CompositeCharacter: She's the smart girl on campus like Takada [[spoiler: (though Takada does appear later in Higuchi's role)]] and also fulfills the same role as Yuri, aka [[Fanfic/LightAndDarkTheAdventuresOfDarkYagami the Girl from the Bus]]. Also she has a strong sense of justice, is studying to be a prosecutor, and [[ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend is very protective of Light]]--like another of Light's allies who never got any screentime in the live action movies--a GenderFlipped prenote![[HoYay Teru Mikami]]?

The BigBad of ''[[{{Film/LChangeTheWorld}} L: Change The World]]'' also known as Dr. Kimiko Kujo.

* BigBad: Of ''[[{{Film/LChangeTheWorld}} L: Change The World]]''

* TheChessMaster: Well, she wants to be.
* CreateYourOwnVillain: [[spoiler: Another graduate of Wammy's goes batshit.]]

TheDragon to K in ''L: Change the World''

The FBIAgent in ''L: Change The World''.

A token female member of the Kira Taskforce added in the Live Action movies.

Another graduate of Wammy’s house that shows up in ''L: Change The World''.

An immunologist and the father of Maki Nikaido in ''L: Change The World''.

Daughter of Dr. Nikakido. She's also one of the kids that L has to protect in ''L: Change The World''.

* {{Bishounen}}: Is considered by fangirls to be this, because of his status as L's lookalike. Interesting in that it's not entirely clear ''exactly'' how he looked, and how much he did/didn't resemble L. Also interesting in that L (and by extension, B) is [[HollywoodHomely not considered pretty]] InUniverse.

** Averted in most fan-art, where he looks almost exactly like L.

* IdenticalTwinIDTag: In fanworks and {{Cosplay}}, particularly works where he'll be appearing alongside of L, BB is often given a [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience black shirt]] (either with or without [[BloodIsTheNewBlack blood splatters]]), or a white shirt with blood all over it, and sometimes neater hair, even though canonically he wears [[ManInWhite a clean white shirt]] to match L. This is presumably to distinguish BB from L in a way aside from [[spoiler:the former's red eyes as opposed to L's grey ones]].
* ImAHumanitarian: According to {{Fanon}}, anyway. WordOfDante has it that BB consumed blood and/or flesh from some or all of his victims, though this is not explicitly mentioned in the novel.

* MurderersAreRapists: In {{Fanon}}, at least. In the novel itself, there is no mention of BB raping any of the people he killed.

** Amusingly in most FanArt he's depicted as [[BloodIsTheNewBlack splattered in blood]] to show that it is [[EvilCounterpart Beyond]] and not L.

* TheDeterminator: [[spoiler: [[FreudianExcuse Because of his Eyes B knows that everything dies, everything falls apart]] [[VillainousValour but he presses on anyway.]] He also already knows that his death alone won't be enough to make L ''notice'' but creating a puzzle he can't solve will.]]

* FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler: 1) [[CursedWithAwesome B was ''born'' with the Shinigami eyes]] and apparently knows how to read the lifespan numbers so he has "seen" death all around him all his life. 2) B was never seen as an individual with his own merits-[[WellDoneSonGuy just L's Backup]].]]

* IdenticalTwinIDTag: In fanworks and {{Cosplay}}, particularly works where he'll be appearing alongside of L, BB is often given a [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience black shirt]] (either with or without [[BloodIsTheNewBlack blood splatters]]), or a white shirt with blood all over it, and sometimes neater hair, even though canonically he wears [[ManInWhite a clean white shirt]] to match L. This is presumably to distinguish BB from L in a way aside from the former's red eyes as opposed to L's grey ones.
* ImAHumanitarian: According to {{Fanon}}, anyway. WordOfDante has it that BB consumed blood and/or flesh from some or all of his victims, though this is not explicitly mentioned in the novel.

* {{Namedar}}: He was born with [[spoiler: the Shinigami eyes.]]

* SuperpowerfulGenetics: [[spoiler: [[HalfHumanHybrid So]][[CursedWithAwesome me]][[LamarckWasRight how]] he was ''born'' with the Shinigami eyes.]]

* TheseAreThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow: Can see everyone's real names and lifespans (except his own, which is part of why [[spoiler:his suicide attempt failed]]) due to being born with the Shinigami Eyes, and has spent most of his life [[DoomMagnet "surrounded by death" as a result]]. Combine that with the stresses of the L program, and it's no wonder he's so maladjusted.

%%* AlwaysSecondBest
* AxCrazy: Easily the '''most''' unhinged character (and that's saying a lot). He's a brutal, sadistic psycho who kills his victims in rather horrific ways.

** [[spoiler: She ultimately does.]]

[[Characters/DeathNote Back to main.]]

* CloudCuckooLander: Just like L, he has odd quirks and mannerisms.

%%* SerialKiller

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: [[spoiler: He was an orphan boy who witnessed his parents die, [[CursedWithAwesome B was ''born'' with the Shinigami eyes]] and apparently knows how to read the lifespan numbers so he has seen death all around him all his life. Furthermore, B was never seen as an individual with his own merits-[[WellDoneSonGuy just L's Backup]].]]

* AxCrazy: BB is easily the '''most''' unhinged character (and that's saying a lot). He's a brutal, sadistic psycho who kills his victims in rather horrific ways.

* ButtMonkey: Let's see, he's AlwaysSecondBest and there's the instance where he's ''[[AmusingInjuries stepped on]]'' by Naomi Misora. [[spoiler: Also there's the whole failing to achieve his goal of [[WhatTheHellHero "calling out L"]] with his EvilPlan thing-the poor guy couldn't even kill himself properly. [[CurbStompBattle And later while he's serving time in prison he's killed by Kira.]]]]

* FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler: 1) [[CursedWithAwesome B was ''born'' with the Shinigami eyes]] and apparently knows how to read the lifespan numbers so he has "seen" death all around him all his life. 2) B was never seen as an individual with his own merits-[[WellDoneSonGuy just L's Backup]].]]

%%* CloudCuckooLander

* AxCrazy: In a world where the bad guys are dangerous killers, BB is easily the '''most''' unhinged. He's a brutal, sadistic psycho who kills his victims in rather horrific ways.

* AxCrazy: In a world of dangerous killers, BB is easily the '''most''' unhinged. He's a brutal, sadistic psycho who kills his victims in rather horrific ways.

%%* AxeCrazy

* MalevolentMaskedMen: The first poster shows him holding a mask. Given that he's the new counterpart of L, he may not be a traditional example, but still worth noting.

* RedHerring: [[spoiler:Throughout the movie, we're led to think he's the new protagonist and Yuki Shien the villain. But in fact, ''he's'' Neo Kira. And his real name is Ryo Hakagami.]]
