Ryuk is a god of death, who like all his "colleagues" has led an empty and bored existence since time immemorial. In search of distractions, Ryuk decides to abandon his Notebook of Death in the world of men, apparently a simple notepad, but with tremendous power, because writing a person's name in the Notebook means decreeing their death. After having found the Notebook of Death by chance, and having understood its potential, Light decides to use it to change the world, while Ryuk observes it amused.
