Light "Crazyface" Yagami Anonymous
I need your help, /CM/! I know there's a Death Note thread here all the time. But this time I specifically want scans/screenshots/fanart of the rediculous faces Light makes.

Please? :D

Man, I can't wait for the last few episodes of the anime, there are some pretty damn epic Light faces right there.

It´s not. Raito is the romanization of his name, but Light is his name. g2b/how to read death note/

And if you actually spoke any Japanese, you'd know that "Raito" is as close to "Light" as his name could ever get in Japanese.

*huge sigh* Light==The Author's Own Chosen Romanization Of The Name. Raito==arbitrary romanization from the first unofficial scanlations, which people now only use b/c they have this bullshit idea that it *sounds* more 'authentic' (and sage for Not This Shit Again)

Funny, if you watch the anime OR the movie and actually LISTEN to how they say his name... oh wow, they're pretty much saying LIGHT.

Isn't that the kanji for "Light", meaningly Hikari or hi, in any case? Raito it's not a word in Japanese, as far as I know

No, the kanji ?(tsuki) means 'moon'. Hikari would be ?.

Raito, with the character of moon (?), is a real japanese given name. If his name would be the english word "light", his name would be written ???.

Makes sense?

There isn't a way of reading ? as "raito". It can only be read as "tsuki" or "getsu". Light's name has ? as kanji because the author wanted, that's all.

Kanjis can have unusual readings when used in names. "Raito" for ?, however, is real and not just Ohba's whim.

Ratio is a cooler name than Light. X3

I like to think of him as having two names. Or three, if you count Kira in with that. Poor guy must be so confused! XD

I can't imagine what possessed two conservative-looking japanese people like Light/Raito/Light-o/Cocksucker/L's bitch's parents to name their kid 'Light'. Souichirou, Sachiko, Sayu then suddenly LIGHT. Must've been hippies when they we're younger.

Yeah, because being called Right-O is so much cooler than just plain Light.

That's it I'm putting this damn argument to rest.

<<--See this? It's a bracelet sold on the OFFICIAL Deathnote site. It's supposed to be Light's half of the handcuffs L put on him (if anyone is wondering they also have an L one as well.) The other stuff they have is pretty cool and if I find some at the next anime con I'm gettin' it.

Alright, so his official romanizated name is Light. However, his name IS still written "?" and pronounced "raito".

Has his name stated to be "Light" anywhere in the manga? Unlikely. Originally, having Raito's name sound like the japanese pronunciation of "light" was mostlikely intended pun by Ohba. Later Yagami's romanizated name was turned into Light to underline the pun and make it more easily approachable by westerners.

See any big holes in my reasoning?

It IS stated to be Light in the official translation. It's only Raito because that's how you spell "Light" with katakana. Goddamn, it's like the people that insist on calling the Elrics "Edo" and "Aru". Accept the official translations!
>> Anonymous
Is it a pun on the fact that "kira" is a Japanese word for "Light"?
>> Anonymous
>>207505
Yes.

Names are not spelled the same as they are spoken. Especially when said name is spoken in Japanese, which means the name will come out sounding competly different from how we westerners would say it.

Oh, and if the name is officially 'Light' then that's it, that is the name.

You missed the part where Light explained Ryuk why his Fans call him Kira, right? Kira = Killer

<< end of discussion, thats his name in the pic.
Also in the interview page of this book it says he picked his name out of a naming book.
it read the kanji ? as light. This kanji reads star, and it dose not read light.
He thought this was cool, and used ? instead and read it light.

Anyway, what ever his name is, the conclusion is that he is a hot sexy psycho.

Man, I don't think I've seen an anime character name argument this bad (and redundant) since the whole "Zoro/Zolo" fiasco.

No, I know that but just like Raito = Light and Kira = Killer, they also have a meaning in Japanese. I thought it might be a little word play or something.

Enough! Just accept that Raito and Light are both used and refer to the same person. You need not fight uselessly over it. Some people have it translated or subbed directly, others don't. Raito, Light, same person. Back to the crazy faces, ladies (or sneaky gentlemen).

The writer of Death Note (forget her name) really loves giving her characters weird-ass names. The names of most people (especially Americans and Euros) are like names from some weird alternate universe. (Which, in a way, is exactly what they are.)

Does anyone have the entire DN manga scanlation on their hard drive? I seem to recall that one of the chapters has a list of names, probably the one where Light is taking down the CIA. None of the names on that list were like names that real people would have.

I believe the artist is a male. I could be mistaken, though.

Stoptazmo.com has a shitload of scanlations on their site, so that might be a good place to check...?
