L Lawliet

Height: 179 cm 510 L Lawliet is a worldrenowned detective who takes on the challenge of catching Kira. In his investigation L becomes suspicious of Light Yagamihttps://anilist.co/character/80/LightYagami and makes it his goal to prove that Light is Kira. L is a very slim pale tall young man with messy necklength black hair and black eyes. One of his most noticeable features is the shadow below each of his eyes a result of him being an insomniac. L is always shown to be wearing a pair of blue jeans and a longsleeved white shirt. He rarely wears shoes or socks preferring to go barefoot even while in public. This was shown when he visited Lights school and was seen barefoot while sitting on a bench not bothering to wear his shoes until he got up to walk. L also tends to hunch over when walking. L is very secretive and only communicates with the world through his assistant Watarihttps://anilist.co/character/2179/QuillshWammy. He never shows his face to the world in person instead representing himself with a capital letter L. After meeting the Japanese Task Force he requests that the task force refers to him as Ryuzaki as an additional safety measure. The Task Force never learns his true name L is very intelligent though his disheveled and languid appearance masks his great powers of deduction and many question his abilities upon viewing him. L tends to secondguess everything he is presented with and is extremely meticulous and analytical. He is good at deceiving his opponents and is willing to take drastic measures to solve a case. He is also shown to have a dry sense of humor and he isnt above making sarcastic remarks to people. Although he tends to be polite to some L can seem condescending at times. L has several quirks such as preferring to crouch rather than sit eating only sweet foods like desserts candies and fruits and holding items by using only a thumb and a finger. He also has an unusual way of sitting with both of his feet on the chair. He claims that if he sits normally his reasoning ability would drop 40. Interestingly in the manga he is seen sitting on the floor in a pose similar to how one would meditate while thinking deeply about the Kira case. He is often seen arranging objects and very intently stacking or in other ways playing with his staple food items. L is almost always encountered while performing actions that are considered inappropriate or rude in public. These actions/habits include biting fingernails placing feet on furniture slouching chewing with an open mouth talking with his mouth full and calling out personal observations that may offend others. L suggests that even though he eats only sweet foods he remains underweight because the brain uses the most calories of any organ in the body. Using subterfuge misinformation disinformation and analytical knowledge of human nature to help lure a suspected murderer into a false sense of security and possibly make him carelessly overconfident L sometimes gets what he wants through abnormal or possibly criminal channels. Whenever L gives percentages to indicate how much he suspects a person of committing a crime such as five percent he may in fact be over ninety percent convinced of their culpability. Although L tells Light that he is among the least likely suspects with one of the lowest percentages of probability in reality L is pretty certain that Light is Kira. As series author Tsugumi Ohbahttps://anilist.co/staff/97111/TsugumiOhba said making light of Ls tactics: The truth is hes a liar.
