The month used the "death note" to sanction the prisoners who could not be punished by the justice of many laws. He claimed to be the "savior" in the name of "KILLER = Kira", using his hands to punish criminals and build an ideal world. A series of incidents have attracted the attention of ICPO (Interpol), sending a talented detective L (Kenichi Matsuyama) to investigate, approaching step by step, fighting wits with the moon.
