Ryuk (Japanese: リューク, Hepburn: Ryūku ) is a fictional graphic symbol in the manga series Decease Note, created past Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata. He is a Shinigami that drops a Decease Note, a notebook that allows the user to kill anyone simply by knowing their name and face, into the human world to detect relief from the boredom of his own realm. It is picked upwardly past Light Yagami, a bright high school student who uses it in an attempt to create and rule a utopia cleansed of evil, with him at the helm as a "god".

In the anime accommodation, Ryuk is voiced by Nakamura Shidō in Japanese and by Brian Drummond in the English version. Both actors reprise their roles for voicing the computer-generated version of the character in the live-activeness films, with Jun Fukushima voicing the CG version in the live-activeness tv drama. In the musical, Ryuk was portrayed by Kōtarō Yoshida. In the American live-action moving picture adaptation Jason Liles played the character in costume while Willem Dafoe provided the voice interim and facial motion capture.

Creation and formulation [edit]

Ohba said that he always mentioned apples in the thumbnails because he wished to use "the dying message that Shinigami only consume apples" and therefore he needed Ryuk to agree apples and that "In that location's no other reason." Ohba likewise said that he specifically chose apples equally the crimson "goes well" with Ryuk'due south black body and that the apples "fit well" with Ryuk's "large" mouth.^[ane] When Obata informed Ohba that apples held religious and psychological significance and that a person could "read a lot" into the inclusion of apples and that he assumed that was the reason why Ohba included the apples, Ohba said that he did not "call up nearly that at all" and that he believes that "apples are absurd... that's information technology. [laughs]" Ohba added that he felt including aspects that could get later plot points was beneficial, and the apples were used as a bespeak when Light asked Ryuk to search for the cameras in exchange for apples.^[ii]

Obata said that he encountered difficulty in designing Ryuk. He said that his original idea of Ryuk consisted of Ryuk looking like a "swain similar to Light" with black pilus and wings. Obata said that he had the thought of Shinigami looking similar "attractive stone stars." Obata felt that if Ryuk appeared more than bonny than Light, he would "appear to be the main grapheme" and "things wouldn't piece of work also." Obata said that he decided to erase the previous design and use the terminal blueprint in which Ryuk has a reptile-like advent when his editor told that Ryuk did not accept to announced human. Obata said that he liked the "monster"-like advent and added that, with his face, "you tin never really tell what he is thinking." Obata said that he encountered difficulty while drawing Ryuk in the pilot affiliate since he did not "have a good handle" on the "bone construction of his face." Obata said that during serialization he became "so used" to the underlying structure that he could visualize it. Obata describes Ryuk's face every bit appearing different between the pilot chapter and the bodily Death Note serial. In 13: How to Read Obata thought of an idea involving Ryuk'due south confront existence a mask, and under the mask would be an "attractive" face up.^[3]

When designing Ryuk'south Death Note Obata thought about the advent of Ryuk's handwriting. Ryuk wrote the words "Decease Note" on the cover of his ain notebook, and when he took possession of Sidoh's book he wrote the same words on the front comprehend.

Films [edit]

Shūsuke Kaneko, director of the alive-action films, said that he chose to create Ryuk with computer graphics every bit it would make the aspect of Ryuk only appearing to people who have touched the Death Note "believable" and that the audience could "tell instinctually" that Ryuk is a Shinigami with "no real presence." Kaneko added that if a human player represented Ryuk, the advent would take been "too realistic," the actor may take impacted Ryuk's "presence," and the audience may take "doubted he was a expiry god, if only for a second." Kaneko ordered the graphics team to design the graphics every bit if it were an role player "inside a rubber adapt."^[four]

Digital Frontier, a computer graphics visitor, animated Ryuk. Kaneko said that because Ryuk's concrete structure is "different from a man'southward," he thought of an idea of visualizing a person in a Ryuk costume. He too wanted the audience to recall of Ryuk as a person in a Ryuk costume talking to Tatsuya Fujiwara, the actor who plays Light. He said that he was "request for too much" and that he wanted audiences to see the moving picture Ryuk every bit more than "a product of the latest CG engineering science." Fujiwara said that due to the constant filming with Ryuk he rarely interacted with other actors during the filming of the commencement flick; The Star of Malaysia describes Fujiwara's emotions every bit "mock frustration." Fujiwara described the CG Ryuk as "and then selfish" and "far more difficult to work with" than a human histrion.^[5]

The director of the American accommodation, Adam Wingard, wanted to do the opposite of the Japanese films and have an player on set portraying Ryuk as much as possible. They had seven-foot-tall actor Jason Liles wearing the suit and performing both the mannerisms and dialogue alongside the other actors, but cut out his face up and voice and used Willem Dafoe'southward facial capture and dialogue. "What nosotros did was basically cut out the on-gear up animal's face and had Jason clothing these red LED glasses, so at least we could see a representation of his glowing eyes, knowing we were going to replace that later with some CGI, and and so vocalism it over with Willem." The production initially created a large prototype, animatronic boob of Ryuk to employ, but it was eventually abandoned.^{[half dozen]}

Appearances [edit]

In Expiry Notation [edit]

Ryuk is a Shinigami bored with the activities (or lack thereof) of the Shinigami realm, so he decides to obtain a 2d Expiry Note and driblet it in the human world for someone to discover, hoping to relieve his boredom. He succeeds in tricking the Shinigami King out of a second Decease Note. He deliberately writes the instructions inside the front end comprehend (in English language, which he assumed to be the about pop language in the homo realm) so people would sympathize its purpose.

The Death Note is discovered by Light Yagami, and Ryuk follows him effectually for much of the serial to see how Light uses it. Ryuk has a fairly humanoid appearance. His skin is blueish gray, or a purplish color, his limbs are abnormally long, and he has bulging yellowish eyes with blackness irises (scarlet in the anime); in the films, he is represented past CGI.

Ryuk is characterized by his abiding amusement by, and apathy in regards to, Light's problems also as his interest in humans. He enjoys seeing Light overcome the various challenges put to him, and oftentimes waits until the worst possible moment to inform him of a sure attribute of the Death Annotation just to become a express joy. He is occasionally helpful if it serves his ain interests, such as obtaining apples or furthering his own amusement, but for the near part will jokingly inquire Low-cal what his next move will be or have Light explain to him the bespeak of a certain action. He tells Light in the first book he doesn't ever look at what Light writes considering he finds it more than amusing. Light describes Ryuk as a "crazy-looking, supernatural fauna with these wicked optics" who becomes ("surprisingly") a "moral compass" for Light in the flick version of Expiry Note.^[7]

Ryuk has a swell fondness for apples, comparing their effect on Shinigami to that of cigarettes and alcohol.^[8] He claims to go through a blazon of withdrawal if he goes for likewise long without them. His withdrawal symptoms involve twisting himself up like a pretzel and doing handstands. He also states that he is shy around girls; when Misa Amane hugs him he becomes intangible. In addition to apples, Ryuk is fond of video games, starting time shown in the omake eight-panel comic series, where he asks for a Silver Game Boy Advance SP, originally published in Weekly Shonen Leap Volume 4-v (double issue) in 2005. On another occasion, Ryuk asks Light if he wants to play Mario Golf game (changed to "video games" in the anime), but receives no answer since Light's sleeping accommodation is bugged with cameras.^[ix]

Every bit Ryuk explains when he commencement meets Low-cal, he is bound to accept Calorie-free'south life when his time comes.^[10] In the manga, Ryuk does this after Low-cal is shot several times by Matsuda. He badly begs Ryuk to write the names of the investigation squad and the SPK members in the Death Notation, which he starting time implies he will practise, merely Ryuk, reminding Light that he is not on anyone'south side, just writes Light's name instead. He was expecting Light might have thought of some way out of his situation, but seeing as he was drastic enough to become to Ryuk for help, he decided information technology was all over for him. Ryuk returns to the Shinigami realm after Light suffers an agitated death.^[eleven]

Two years later, Ryuk berates another shinigami in their effort to replicate his success with Light past giving their own Death Note to a "weak" human. A further half-dozen years later, Ryuk returns to Earth and gives another human his Death Note, who asks him to return with the Death Note in some other two years. Later, in 2019, Ryuk returns and the pair sell the Expiry Note to the U.South. President for $100 trillion, to be divided evenly amongst every Japanese depository financial institution account holder nether the historic period of lx, before the human being relinquishes (and memories of) his Expiry Annotation to Ryuk. When Ryuk returns to the Shinigami Realm before delivering the Death Note, the Shinigami King, berating him, adds a dominion forbidding the sale of Death Notes, causing the U.S. president to reject the Expiry Notation out of fear for his own life and merely tell the world he has information technology, while the human dies when he accepts his ¥1 billion.^[12]

In the anime [edit]

In the anime adaptation, Light does not ask for Ryuk's aid and manages to escape the warehouse thank you to Teru Mikami's suicide distracting everyone else. However his wounds are too severe for him to escape very far, and Ryuk, who is watching him from atop a pole, decides that following Light around during a prison sentence is not worth his time and thus writes Light's name in his Death Annotation, remarking that he had a lot of fun with him regardless. Different in the manga, Light passed away peacefully, with an bogeyman of 50 standing over him - mirroring Light standing over L on his death. Much later on, subsequently Ryuk returns to the Shinigami realm, he is asked by a new shinigami to recount his time on Earth as the latter prepares to get there himself, and Ryuk mentions Light equally the unnamed shinigami leaves before Ryuk has finished recounting his tale.^[xiii]

In the airplane pilot chapter [edit]

The other is picked up past Taro's classmate, Miura. The police burn Miura's volume, non knowing of the existence of the first volume. At the end of the chapter, Ryuk follows an older Taro.^[14] Decease Note 13: How to Read describes the Ryuk of the pilot chapter as "really lazy" and "incompetent".^[15]

In live-action media [edit]

In the film serial, Ryuk is voiced by Nakamura Shidō. The 2nd film ends in much the same manner as the manga, except Ryuk's silence leads Light to believe that he is willing to help. When Lite learns differently, Light yells at Ryuk and jumps through him, trying in vain to stop his death before dying in his father's artillery; before this, Ryuk takes this opportunity to reveal to Light that humans who have used the Death Note are unable to enter either Heaven or Hell regardless of their actions in life.

In the spin-off L: Change the Earth, Ryuk offers L the Death Notation. When L refuses and proceeds to burn it, Ryuk complains that L is boring and disappears, returning to the Shinigami realm.

In the fourth film, Death Note: Light Up the New World, Nakamura Shidō reprises his function every bit the vocalization and motion capture of Ryuk.^[16] 10 years after the end of Kira case, Ryuk again visits the human world to find the successor of kira on the reaper king's order. He finds Calorie-free'due south biological son Hikari Yagami and gives him a death note. Teru Mikami, his guardian who raised him gets insane and kills him by writing his proper noun in the notebook. The leader of Death Note task forcefulness, Tsukuru Mishima witnesses the whole thing and kills Mikami and takes his notebook. Tsukuru becomes the new owner and Ryuk stays with him. Later Tsukuru dispossesses his Decease Notation and asks Ryuk to give the Death Annotation and Light's message to the cyberterrorist, Yuki Shien. Ryuk finds his new mate. Later on, Yuki is killed in a crossfire and Ryuk is seen for last time talking to Tsukuru explaining why death reapers are looking so difficult for the side by side kira considering the expiry reaper king promised that anyone who finds the adjacent kira would take the throne after he retired. Ryuk as well says that they will continue sending death notes until in that location'southward a side by side kira. Ryuk forbades cheerio and disappears.

In the alive-action TV drama, Ryuk is voiced past Jun Fukushima and Daisaku Nishino is the motion capture actor of Ryuk. At the end of the series, Light begs Ryuk's help but Ryuk lets Light burn in the burn. So he returns to shinigami realm with Rem.

Unlike the source material, Ryuk does non possess multiple Expiry Notes, and has passed the Decease Note to various people throughout the decades, with each one of them using the notebook for different purposes. Despite the film's overall mixed critical reception, Dafoe's performance and characterization of Ryuk has been widely praised by fans and critics alike, with many singling him out as one of the picture show'south main highlights.^[17]

On the player'south voicework in the English dub of the anime, Tom S. Pepirium of IGN said that "Brian Drummond IS Ryuk."^[21] Pepirium described Drummond's vox as "splendid" and that this makes information technology "hilarious" to sentinel "Ryuk and his never-catastrophe grinning giggle at the events he put into move."^[22]

In it Kitty Sensei said that Ryuk "looks a footling artificial in the starting time." She says that she became used to the portrayal and loved "Ryuk's gleeful chuckles and fish-faced grins."^[23]
