L Lawliet (エル・ローライト),[3] widely known by the letter L (エル Eru?), is the main antagonist in the manga and anime series Death Noteby Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata. Considered the world's greatest detective, he lives in secrecy. During the story, he acts as the main antagonist to Light Yagami, otherwise known as the mass-murderer "Kira". However, his popularity as a character inspired the release of a spin-off live-action filmL: Change the World and a novel adaption of said film where he is the main protagonist.
The character of L is voiced by Kappei Yamaguchi in the anime, and portrayed by Kenichi Matsuyama in the films Death Note, Death Note: The Last Name and L: Change the World. He is dubbed by Alessandro Juliani across the English-language media. Since his introduction in the series, L's character has been praised by several manga and anime reviewers.
-------------------------------------------------
[edit]Creation and conception
Tsugumi Ohba, the writers of the series, created L to represent justice, as a "super detective" who stands in Light's way. Since Ohba believed the story would not hold much interest if L were significantly older than Light, the character was created as a young adult. For L's name, he wanted to use a single letter with a lot of significance; he considered "I" and "J", but eventually chose "L" after careful consideration.[4] The alias of "Ryuzaki" was given to him because of a previous murderer L had captured, who went by the name of "Rue Ryuzaki." Ohba said that he left everything about L's character design to Takeshi Obata, artist of the series. Obata asked Ohba if L could be "unattractive". Afterwards Ohba included ideas in his thumbnails, including L's manner of sitting, "he's English", and "he's listless". Ohba added details regarding L's

    Larry Lasalle Heroes

    However, even by this stage the reader is empathising with Francis, and therefore doubts that LaSalle may not be the victim. The character of Larry LaSalle is also used to partly deceive the reader. This is done by constantly describing him as a hero and the perfect mentor. Quotes such as 'the best of the best', 'movie star smile', portray a heroic image of him which intrigues the audience. However after the rape scene the reader begins to see Larry LaSalle in a whole new way, raising questions about whether is he a hero, or a villain? This mystery about LaSalle's character is sustained through the book, as we see him in two different lights . Despite LaSalle's dazzling 'movie-star' good looks when he arrives in the town, there is a sense of uneasy mystery about him, as to why he turned his back on show business, as shown through the character of Joey LeBlanc. This is how his character is perceived to be in first instance, a hero in the eyes of everyone in Frenchtown. Francis depicts Larry LaSalle to have a 'movie star smile' and 'Fred Astaire strut' adding to his hero persona in the first instance, but leading the reader into thinking whether anyone can really be that perfect without any ulterior motives? A good example…

    It was 1813, Lucy Larcom's father had died and had to step up to take control and work in the mill. She most likely had a reason to step up, possibly the oldest or one of the middle children that wasn’t married yet. She earned 1 dollar a week and was ready for college but she couldn’t go because her family needed her and her money to help them survive. She was 12-13 years old and had a paying job much like the other girls whose fathers had passed away or couldn’t work for some reason. She could only go to school for 3 months during a break from working but she could not go to highschool because her family had no money. Even though society is saying bad things about them but they looked up to them for their independence and their strength. Women…

    Most of the characters in Crime and Punishment were consumed by opposing feelings; they faced inner confusion. Dunya didn't know whether to choose Luzhin or her brother. Pulcheria Alexanrovna didn't know what side to assert herself on in the aforementioned situation. Sonya was torn between her best interests or that of her step-siblings and Luzhin couldn't decide whether to put aside his pride and apologize to Dunya, or stand tall like an erect peacock. The character that faced the utmost inner turmoil was Raskolnikov. His conscious told him to confess the murder, while his heart was unsure if he was ready to give himself up. Raskolnikov's indecisiveness and guilt caused him illness: paranoia, depression, and slight delirium. They became his character. Rodya's ambiguity about his actions after he killed Alyona Ivanovna and her sister, Lizaveta, was what made his character so alluring and intriguing.…

    Even today, defenders of Ghost in the Shell argue that the Japanese main character, Major, could be portrayed as Caucasian because her brain is placed into a cyborg body. Creators then cast Scarlett Johansson as the main character, but still chose to use CGI to alter her facial features, specifically her eyes to look more Asian. Also, the movie is set in Neo-Tokyo but features very few Japanese people, using the Japanese aesthetic without using Japanese people. The movie appropriates and profited off of Asian culture, or at least attempted to, without paying respects where they are…
