Character Description: L Lawliet
L is a private detective, the world's top detective. He never shows his face to anyone. When he makes his debuts it's with a computer screen that reads L and a mechanical voice. When he finally does reveal himself to only a chosen few, no one was prepared for what they saw. He's young, loves sweets and hates to wear shoes. He's very serious and hates to lose.
When he starts the Kira case, he immediately begins the investigation with Light. As Light tries to prove his innocence, L gets more proof that Kira is, in fact, Light. He even invites Light the join the Kira investigation in order to gain more evidence against him, but unfortunately Light is always three steps ahead.
L's full name, L Lawliet, is finally revealed in "How to Read 13", which is considered to be the 13th volume of the Death Note manga series. He was born on October 31, 1979, enters the series on December 4, 2003 at the age of 24, and dies on November 5th of the following year at age 25. However, the anime adjusts the years a bit, making L's birth occurring in 1982.

I agree with all of you too! I don't blame Rem at all for L's death, it was completely Light's fault. He is a manipulitive jerk! L will be missed. But I found the fight awesome! We all learned how hot L was when he fought - even though he was already hot to begin with. And anyone else just love the sound of his name?

I agree with all of you. I still can't get over the fact that he is dead. I am going to make a memorial for him in my backyard (hold your snorts please) I miss you L. I think everyone agrees with me when I say LONG LIVE L. I luv U
