Additionally, due to having minimal interaction with other people, L has very poor social skills, and is prone to performing actions or having habits considered rude and inappropriate, including eating with his mouth open, talking with his mouth full, placing feet on furniture, biting fingernails, etc. When meeting face-to-face with others, he never gives out his real name, instead using a variety of aliases, such as 'Ryuzaki' (when interacting with the Japanese task force), 'Hideki Ryuga' (when meeting Light at his school), 'Eraldo Coil' and 'Deneuve' (under which he has developed reputations as the world's second and third-greatest detectives). He rarely goes out into the outside world when not investigating a case, never shows his face to the world, and communicates almost exclusively via his assistant and only friend, Watari. L's most prominent character trait is his secretiveness.

~ L's belief on risking your life for justice. Risking your life and doing something that could rob you of your life are exact opposites. He almost never wears shoes or socks, preferring to go barefoot even while in public. L is always shown to be wearing blue jean pants and a long-sleeved, white shirt. One of his most noticeable features is the shadow below each of his eyes, a result of sleep deprivation. L is a very slim, tall young man with black hair and dark eyes. He is voiced by Kappei Yamaguchi in the Japanese version of the anime, and by Alessandro Juliani in the English version of the anime. Considered to be the world's greatest detective, he is an enigmatic man who spends the series trying to catch the vigilante/mass murderer Kira, who is none other than the villainous protagonist Light Yagami. He is also the titular protagonist of the film L: Change the WorLd.

L Lawliet, also referred to as Ryūzaki, is the heroic main antagonist of the anime and manga series Death Note, serving as the main antagonist of the first half of the series and the posthumous overarching antagonist of the second half. ~ L talking during his TV broadcast without showing his face You can answer all of my questions when I catch you. Naturally, I'm very interested to know how you're able to commit these murders without being present, but I don't mind waiting a little bit longer.

Tell me, Light, from the moment you were born, has there ever been a point when you've actually told the truth? And if it means being able to clear a case, I don't play fair, I'm a dishonest, cheating human being who hates losing. That's why I only take on cases that pique my interest. For me too, it's simply prolonging something I enjoy doing. The same way you all like to solve mysteries and riddles, or clear video games more quickly. If you measured good and evil deeds by current laws, I would be responsible for many crimes. Figuring out difficult cases is my hobby.
