Human

From Death Note Wiki

A human being, also human or man is a member of a species of bipedal primates in the family Hominidae (taxonomically Homo sapiens — Latin: "wise human" or "knowing human"). DNA evidence indicates that modern humans originated in east Africa about 200,000 years ago. Humans have a highly developed brain, capable of abstract reasoning, language, introspection and problem solving. This mental capability, combined with an erect body carriage that frees the forelimbs (arms) for manipulating objects, has allowed humans to make far greater use of tools than any other species. Humans are distributed worldwide, with large populations inhabiting every continent on Earth except Antarctica.

The human characters that are involved in Death Note are regarded as some of the deepest and most complex figures from manga or anime in recent years.

Tsugumi Ohba began his process of creating Death Note by writing for an expansive repertoire of unique characters. In order to delve deeper into their personalities in so short a time, he required the help of illustrator Takeshi Obata.
