Death Note (デスノート, Desu Nōto) is a 2006 Japanese supernatural thriller film directed by Shusuke Kaneko. It is based on the manga series of the same title by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata. The film primarily centers on a Tokyo college student who attempts to change the world into a utopian society without crime, by committing a worldwide massacre of criminals and people whom he deems morally unworthy of life, through a supernatural notebook that kills anyone whose name is written in its pages, while being hunted down by an elite task force of law enforcement officers within Tokyo, led by an enigmatic international detective. It was followed by a sequel, Death Note 2: The Last Name, released in the same year. A spin-off film directed by Hideo Nakata and titled L: Change the World, was released on February 9, 2008. Another sequel, Death Note: Light Up the New World, was released in October 2016.
