Also, even though some parts of the face, for example the eyes, nose or mouth are hidden, if he can basically see the whole face, he will be able to see the person's name and life span. It is still not clear how much exposure is needed to tell a person's name and life span, as this needs to be verified.

Age: 23
History:
He is an eccentric genius and international private detective, reputed to be the world's greatest, who takes on cases that have stymied national governments and Interpol. He eats sweet things exclusively, and is usually seen eating fruit or cake, or drinking sweetened coffee or tea. L's behavior is also peculiar; he sits in an unusual position, always wears the same outfit, holds things extremely delicately by corners, prefers to go barefoot, and has a habit of biting his thumb. He has several other aliases, including those of the world's so-called second and third greatest detectives, Eraldo Coil and Deneuve. L stayed in England for five years, and during that time he was the champion in tennis for the England Junior Cup, and he is still a good player.
Description:
L is a very slim, tall young man with black hair and dark eyes. One of his most noticeable features is the shadow below each of his eyes, a result of him being an insomniac. L is always shown to be wearing blue jean trousers and a long-sleeved, white shirt. He almost never wears shoes or socks, preferring to go barefoot while even in public.
Personality:
L is quite secretive and only communicates with the world through his assistant Watari. He never shows his face to the world, instead representing himself with a capital L in Cloister Black font. L often uses dramatic strategies to confuse his opponents and force their hand. He tends to second-guess everything he is presented with, and is extremely meticulous and analytical. He has several quirks such as preferring to crouch rather than sit, eating only sweet foods like desserts and fruits, and holding items very delicately. Whenever L gives percentages to indicate how much he suspects a person of committing a crime, such as "five percent", in reality he means over 90 percent.
Specialization: Impossible or Nearly-unsolvable cases
