[ Story ]

A live-action film adaptation of a comic of the same title by Ohba Tsugumi and Obata Takeshi, which appeared in the Weekly Shonen JUMP magazine series. Directed in two parts by Kaneko Shusuke. Red Hot Chili Peppers, who became fans when they read the original comic, provided the theme music for both parts of the film. A spin-off movie that features the character of "L" will be produced.
The God of Death brings a Death Note to the human world out of boredom. It is a notebook with an extraordinary power - the person whose name is written in the Note dies. Yagami Light (Fujiwara Tatsuya) picks up the Note. Since his father is the chief of the detective department, Light has a strong sense of justice. Under the name "Kira", Light exterminates vicious criminals utilizing the Note in an attempt to create a utopia by his own hand. A genius, private investigator, L (Matsuyama Kenichi), starts the investigation to capture Kira.
An unpredictable and magnificent battle of wits unfolds between one genius, Light, who wields the Death Note, and another genius, L, who is closing in on Light.
