10. Light Yagami - Death Note

Light was a Japanese high school senior who found a notebook called a Death Note . Anyone whose name is written in the notebook will die.

After realizing the power of the notebook, Light went mad with power, deciding to use the notebook to rid the world of criminals and create a new world full of law abiding people he accepts. Light would then make himself the god of this new world.

The series charts his use of the notebook and his struggles with the Japanese police, the detectives L , Mello , and Near , as well as his associations with other notebook users, such as Misa Amane and Teru Mikami . His online followers dubbed him "Kira" in Japanese or "killer" in English.

He states that he doesn't have any morals, saying they just restrict his capabilities. Aizen will stop at nothing to complete his plans and thinks of long and complex (as well as somewhat convoluted) plans. He often toys with his subordinates and controls his forces through respect, intimidation, fear, and mind games with only Gin being able to figure out Aizen's emotions.
