I kinda love how Higuchi was so clearly written to be a hate sink for the audience but also a foil to show them how smart Light is by comparison, which results in him inadvertently (?) coming off as so cringefail that I ultimately can’t bring himself to hate him

The Death Note Avatars of the Seven Deadly Sins
Pride: Light "I'm a God" Yagami ( •̀ᴗ•́ )و ̑̑
Gluttony: L. It is more difficult to think of scenes where he is not eating sweets. It's pretty impressive for cake to outweigh his ego, but somehow it does.
Lust: Misa. I'm pretty sure she's the only character in canon who is motivated by horniness. You go, girl! <3
Wrath: Mikami. In a sea of Kiras, he might be the only one motivated by vengeance. Surprising for a murder show ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ
Envy: Mello. He wanted to be the chosen one so desperately that he sublimated all his problems onto his more gifted rival.
Sloth: Near. I know there is at least one panel of him standing in the manga, but is he ever not sitting in the anime?!
Greed: Higuchi. Chosen by a Shinigami as the greediest human he could find. Nice!

the results are in. tumblr's MOST HATED DEATH NOTE CHARACTER IS...
Tumblr media
WITH 22.5% OF THE VOTE, HIGUCHI WINS! FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HIS LIFE! CONGRATULATIONS, HIGUCHI!
our unfortunate runner-ups are light yagami, in his own goddamn series, at #2 with 17.7% and hitoshi demegawa at #3 with 13.7%. i think it's very funny that light got more votes than demegawa, who is up there with higuchi in terms of "purposefully written to make you want his ass dead."
with almost 650 votes total, here's the end tally:
Tumblr media
congratulations to takada and misa for getting the least votes of the named characters. death note tumblr officially supports women.
the other characters voted for include:
raye penber (who i should have put in the initial poll but forgot about), with 6 votes or around .93%
mello, with 3 votes or around .46%
matsuda, with 2 votes or around .31%
L, with 2 votes
soichiro, with 2 votes
watari, with 1 vote or around .15%
rem, with 1 vote
roger, with 1 vote
sidoh, with 1 vote
matt, with 1 vote
beyond, with 1 vote
the kid from the relight OVA who kept dumping on linda's responses to L during the monster speech scene, with 1 vote (i only respect this person)
(note that some people who voted for "other," including myself, didn't say who their least favorite was, and a few people said more than one character, so the breakdown isn't 100% accurate. by the way, my least favorite character is aizawa's wife. not that anyone asked.)
and a special shout out to these based souls:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
thank you for taking part in this incredibly scientific survey. see you in 50 years when i decide to do this again but with raye penber in the official running

Death Note Characters as Princes of Hell
So I went down a wikipedia hole reading about classifications of demons through the history of Christian occultism, and based on that half hour of theological education I feel I’m qualified to assign the Death Note cast to their demonic kinnies, based on abbot/witch-hunter Peter Binsfield’s classification of the Seven Princes and their attendant sins.
Lucifer, the Prince of Pride: Light Yagami
Who else could be God’s most beautiful angel? I mean like, do I even need to describe Light’s pride? He is magnificent in his absolute confidence that he and he alone has the foresight and wisdom to lead all of humanity to their shining future free of the filth of crime.
Mammon, the Prince of Greed: L
While L does gobble down his sweets, he’s not exactly gluttonous, is he? He doesn’t long for all the finest things in life, he longs for constant stimulus and challenge, but that greed is never satisfied. In the one-shot prequels we see he made money playing the stock markets until he had so much money it became meaningless. He became the top detective in the world and wasn’t satisfied, even with Interpol whispering his name as their last resort. He became all three of the top detectives and still wasn’t satisfied, he wants more and more and more of his assertions proven right and his challengers defeated, and he’ll sit alone in a room with no roots and no human affection because it’s his burning need to win every game he sets his eyes on that drives him to his extremes.
Belphegor, the Prince of Sloth: Near
Sloth isn’t just laziness, but is anhedonia, despondance, lassitude. Young Near in the main manga is a driven boy, but once the challenge of defeating Kira faded, Near’s motivation gradually faded too. The 2019 one-shot showed a man with no satisfaction in life. He listlessly moved between his distractions, playing L when his team required him to because he simply hadn’t thought of a real direction he could take in life apart from one assigned to him when he was 13.
Leviathan the Prince of Envy: Mello
Poor Mello, he could have been brilliant. He was brilliant, but his entire life was warped around his feelings of inferiority towards Near and he died a horrible death far too young because of that burning envy. There were no depths he wasn’t willing to plunge to in order to desperately prove to Near that he was the superior of the two, even though Near made it incredibly clear that he wanted to cooperate, not compete.
Asmodeus, the Prince(ss) of Lust: Misa Amane
Misa thought that she was driven by True Love, but True Love isn’t meant to be so twisted as her conception of the emotion. She wanted Light romantically and she was willing to kill other women, to bribe and to blackmail him, to prostrate and to degrade herself so that he’d fix her with his love. For her love two Shinigami died and she never gave their sacrifices more than a passing thought afterward, for the life they gave her was only useful in that it gave her more time to force a man who held her in contempt to play her loving boyfriend.
Satan, the Prince of Wrath: Teru Mikami
Mikami’s such a rigid fellow isn’t he? In public he’s the perfect model of a cold and bloodless public official, but on the inside he’s motivated by his absolute hatred of the lazy and the cruel and the criminal scum all around him. For Teru this hatred was so very personal, shaped by childhood trauma and his absolutely whacked misinterpretation for his mother’s death. While Light delights in striking down the enemies who personally crossed him Teru delights in deleting every. single. criminal because the depths of his wrath are endless.
Beezlebub, the Prince of Gluttony: Kyosuke Higuchi
Higuchi’s a simple man. He wants loads of money, so everyone can see that he’s rich like he deserves to be. He wants a garage full of fancy cars, so everyone can see he’s got a big dick. He wants a supermodel girlfriend, and then another one to replace her as soon as he’s bored plunging the first one. Bcoming the Third Kira was simply a means to his end in obtaining as many material luxuries as he could conceive of owning.

꧁Kyosuke Higuchi Analysis꧂
Tumblr media
This is an analysis about Kyosuke Higuchi, the 3rd Kira we are introduced to in the Death Note series. I’d like to make it clear from the start that this is not a post to condemn him or justify his actions—the main idea is to better understand his motives and who he is as a person by analyzing the things he says and does. Understanding Higuchi provides striking insight into other characters and the story as a whole.
‧̍̊·̊‧̥°̩̥˚̩̩̥͙°̩̥‧̥·̊‧̍̊ ♡ °̩̥˚̩̩̥͙°̩̥ ·͙*̩̩͙˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩̥͙·̩̩̥͙*̩̩̥͙˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩͙‧͙ °̩̥˚̩̩̥͙°̩̥ ♡ ‧̍̊·̊‧̥°̩̥˚̩̩̥͙°̩̥‧̥·̊‧̍̊‧̍̊·̊‧̥°̩̥˚̩̩̥͙°̩̥‧̥·̊‧̍̊ ♡ °̩̥˚̩̩̥͙°̩̥ ·͙*̩̩͙˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩̥͙·̩̩̥͙*̩̩̥͙˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩͙‧͙ °̩̥˚̩̩̥͙°̩̥ ♡ ‧̍̊·̊‧̥°̩̥˚̩̩̥͙°̩̥‧̥·̊‧̍̊‧̍̊·̊‧̥°̩̥˚̩̩̥͙°̩̥‧̥·̊‧
Okay, I should mention from the start that I will not be analyzing every single scene Higuchi is in, that will be too time-consuming and not really necessary. Instead, I've handpicked the ones I believe are most important to offer perception into who he is. The majority of this analysis will focus on the manga, because the anime does not cover as much detail about Yotsuba and some outside sources.
Tumblr media
Higuchi makes his debut in Volume 5, Chapter 36. His features were probably obscured because we're not supposed to know which one of the Yostuba men were Kira yet. But can we just appreciate how funny (in an inappropriate way) this looks?? He's literally got the classic bad guy appearance being this figure in a dark room doing evil deeds. Also, I apologize that the manga caps have to be in Japanese, it's the only version available to me at this moment. However, I will provide translations and explanations.
Tumblr media
So, just to summarize what's going on in the first two scenes, it's when Rem approached Higuchi. He's seems to be asking Rem to be precise that he can freely use the death note as long as he kills the criminals broadcasted on tv and she agrees. In the second cap, Higuchi says something along the lines of "This is a good trading business for both Rem and me."
From these first two scenes, we know Rem chose Higuchi to be the person to continue the Kira killings and use the death note selfishly as Light requested. We see Higuchi performs these killings without second thought or remorse, in fact, he's quite content with the circumstances going as far as to call this a "good trading business." We understand from the Yotsuba arc as a whole that Higuchi did not only target criminals but important figures in the business world for personal advantages. We can pick up from this that Higuchi is cruel, greedy, and has little to no respect for human life. He values attaining wealth and power to the extent he doesn't mind killing people who have done him no wrong. We get further insight to his motivations through things Light, Namikawa, and Mido will say, but more information on that later.
I'd like to bring up Halle Lidner here because during the time Higuchi takes over as Kira, he kills Halle's friend which eventually leads to her joining the SPK. This gives us some potential clues about Halle as a person too...Was Halle's friend an important figure in the business world? Was he or she Japanese because Higuchi's in Japan and the majority of his victims probably were? Personally, I believe Halle has connections to Japan. This could explain why Halle understands the language and seems to function well as Kiyomi's bodyguard. This allows us to come up with our own interpretations for her past that are not without basis. Alright, back to Higuchi.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The next scenes I've included are one of Yotsuba's meetings where the men speculate one of them must be Kira or have a connection to Kira because last week and the week before that, the murders decided in the meetings came true. Takahashi questions why did Kira start taking on murders like this instead of just judging bad guys? And we see here, Higuchi essentially tells him that Kira's doing this because it benefits Kira and calls Takahashi a fool. With this little scene we can pick up that Higuchi has no problem with being rude to people but this is perhaps one of his lesser bad qualities when you consider this is a man who kills for benefits and without remorse. Another factor to keep in mind is in a future scene Mido explains that Higuchi only forced Takahashi to join the Meetings of Death because he was considered less sophisticated than Higuchi and Higuchi needs someone like that to make himself look and feel better. So, it's fair to say Higuchi's an insecure person.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here are some screenshots I took of Higuchi's page on the English Death Note Wiki. We're given a little background info about him which I'm going to try to use to gain better understanding about his history. My initial thought before I checked this was that Higuchi rose to a high position within Yostuba through underhanded tactics and/or he happened to have a connection. We get to see here that Higuchi does in fact have a connection through his father who's the president of Yotsuba Heavy Industrial. It seems Higuchi was probably able to become the Head of Technology Development through this connection and his abilities, I guess. Despite we know that Higuchi tends to be considered one of the less intelligent and less capable folk, he can't be completely incapable in the brains department since he does have 6/10 in his Knowledge Stats.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now I want to talk a little bit about this scene, when Hatori fearing the potential reality of ending up in jail says he wants out of the meetings, to this, Higuchi assures Hatori he'll be dead by tomorrow with a creepy smile on his face. Let's face it, the other Yotsuba men probably figured out Higuchi was Kira right here, because he's able to say this with such confidence. This scene reiterates Higuchi's cruelty and lack of respect for human life.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So, this is at scene when Namikawa makes the point about how Kira desires status to which Higuchi claims that's 「くだらねー」 which translates to "crap" in Google Translate but in this context, it probably means something along the lines of "how stupid/dumb." This is important because Mido does make a point about this later...which you will find out when we get there. 😁
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And now we have a scene with Shingo Mido's look alike Light Yagami (or is it the other way around? I mean, Mido is older than Light, but Light is the MC of this story...) Sorry for the lame joke lol. But anyways, I want to show these two manga caps where Light notices the difference between the Kira killings from before and after he was confined. When Light was Kira, Kira did not kill criminals who had no intention of killing, those who accidentally killed someone and those who had room for extenuating circumstances. To put it simply, Higuchi kills criminals without taking into account if the criminal really deserves to be punished...I hope I explained that well?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Next, I want to discuss the episode where Misa goes on a date with Higuchi to trick him into revealing he's Kira to help Light return to power. At first, I will admit, I thought Higuchi's actions didn't make too much sense and it was a plot device for the most part. But looking at this from the perspective of somebody who's not supposed to be one of the great brains of the series and taking into account having the death note made Higuchi blinded by power it's more believable that he would start to get careless and make mistakes like this. Also, it has to be kept in mind Higuchi has no idea Misa's in love with somebody else and he probably thought Misa might marry him to be something like an arm trophy wife. Something else I would like to point out is how this scene was slightly altered in the anime. In the manga, we just have Higuchi getting into Misa's face at his most aggressive, whereas in the anime, Higuchi physically took her down and towered over. It almost looks like he is about to r*pe her, thankfully, he does not. But I think it is quite a significant difference, perhaps he's even more of an aggressive pervert in the anime than he was in the manga. Personally, I don't like this change because if Higuchi was not depicted in the style of an almost potential rapist in the manga that should not be so in the anime as well.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here's another scene we're shown how the Yostuba men in particular Mido and Namikawa (though it's probably reasonable to say Shimura as well) have figured out Kira is Higuchi. In this scene, Mido, Light Yagami's Yostuba counterpart, makes a point about how Higuchi needed Takahashi to make himself look better and of the group Higuchi is the one most obsessed with status. The way he talks about how status doesn't matter to him shows how much the opposite is the truth. Namikawa goes on to talk about how Higuchi makes fun of people but can't use them well and it's caused him to be demoted in the past. Now, one could dismiss these comments as Higuchi's colleagues badmouthing him because they dislike him but I'm inclined to believe this is all true because Higuchi's actions have proven all of this. It also brings us back to the point that Higuchi is not one of the more capable characters in this series.
Tumblr media
This is another scene that proves Higuchi's lust for power and status. He's gleefully declaring that he now has the Shinigami eyes because he has stopped the Kira killings for 3 days like Misa requested so that she will marry him. He goes on to say he's going to tell the president (of the company) let's just say "CEO" because I'm about 99% sure this is what he means, that he is Kira, he's going to first get a promotion, then someday become the CEO himself and then those six will be...And then he gets cut off because he gets that call from Namikawa to turn on Sakura TV and the demise of Higuchi begins. Before we move on to the next part, in this scene we learn the more specifics of Higuchi’s motivations all along, he wants to become the CEO of Yotsuba and there’s nothing he wouldn’t do to achieve this goal, especially since he was given something as powerful as the death note.
Tumblr media
I've fast forwarded to this scene when Higuchi finally makes the Shinigami eye deal with Rem. So we've known this whole time he didn't have the Shinigami eyes which is a lot of the reason he wanted Misa (whom he believed had the eyes at the time) to be his wife. Higuchi didn't want to cut half of his remaining life span for them, and well, it's easy to understand why it's a heavy price to pay. But I guess from this scene itself we learn that if he is pushed far enough between looking at a life in prison and/or death penalty or living a shorter financially prosperous life, he chooses the latter and decides the deal is finally worth it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I will fast forward once more, to the part here when Higuchi, in a final act of desperation takes himself hostage. We could use this scene as proof of how dumb Higuchi is, but I personally do not think taking this action when under extremely stressful circumstances is unrealistic. People under extreme pressure could do things that could look ridiculous to those who aren't. Even Higuchi in this last panel acknowledges this, declaring that his life is over.
We know after this Watari shoots the gun out of Higuchi's hand and Soichiro and Mogi arrest him.
Tumblr media
And then Light got his death note back, regained his memories, and killed off Higuchi.
However, this analysis is not done just yet, you see I would like to now take this opportunity to talk about how in the Death Note films, Higuchi and Kiyomi's characters were combined. And this might be looking too deep into it, but I doubt the choice was completely random because instead of using Higuchi or Kiyomi, they could have just added a new character. I believe this was done because the movie makers (either consciously or subconsciously) might’ve noticed Higuchi and Kiyomi share certain traits in common. They’re both highly jealous people who lust after power. They’re both obsessed with having others envy and admire them, but try to conceal this fact due to their pride. However, I will say I think Kiyomi is not as morally depraved as Higuchi, has a little more respect for human life than he does, and is more intelligent/capable but that’s beside the point.
Furthermore, in my opinion the film creators did a great job with this because they did not simply swap Kiyomi with Higuchi, but rewrote Kiyomi to be a more intriguing villain—that and Nana Katase is a great actress. Kiyomi was different from Higuchi in how she was able to make decisions and take actions on her own when she became Kira. If you haven’t watched the films, I want to encourage you to do so. The female characters are handled much better and Kiyomi easily became my second favorite female character in the movies.
To conclude, I intended to offer some insights into Higuchi's motivations and character while also making a point about how understanding him helps us better understand seemingly unrelated characters like Halle and Kiyomi. There's always so much more that goes on beneath the surface, that ignoring side characters can cause a person to miss out. Higuchi is, to put it simply, greedy, insecure, and has little to no morals whatsoever. He shows us this in how he would kill innocent people to criminals who don’t deserve the death sentence, use Takahashi to try to make himself look better, and would try to take over a company through murder and threats. Higuchi is an excellent example of how power in the wrong hands can blind someone and the chaos they can create due to low moral character. And I’m not exaggerating Higuchi’s actions ruined Yotsuba and took the lives of many innocent businessmen and women. l think Higuchi is interesting, and I can fully appreciate him as a fictional villain. Higuchi is my second favorite Kira, when I say this, please don't misunderstand this as I like him as a person standing in the same room with me or wish for him to be my friend…I bet however, nobody can ever guess who my No. 1 favorite Kira is. 😆 Anyways, thank you so much for reading this post. I sincerely hope it was worth your time. Have a great day/night. 😊💖
