Since I picked up the book Death Note, dropped intentionally by the god of death Ryuk. Yagami decided to use the notebook to kill all the criminals in the world, so he got the nickname Kira, which is the Japanese pronunciation of the English word “Killer”.

The guy who is always popular with girls in school is gay?​

Manga series Death Note began to be published in December 2003 in manga magazine Weekly Shonen Jump by Shueisha and ended in May 2006 with a total of 108 chapters. The manga was also adapted into anime and is loved by many audiences in Japan and many countries around the world. However, the live-action belong to Netflix received many criticisms from Death Note fans. When the movie was released, a famous Vlogger on Youtube was Pew Die Pie did a video review about Death Note live-action version. It is worth mentioning that in the film there is a love scene between Yagami and the female character. But Pew Die Pie assert that this detail is completely wrong from the original. Because Yagami wrote it backwards as “I’m gay/ I’m a gay” (admits this character is gay).

Does the author imply Yagami’s true gender through the name or is it simply a coincidence?​

Recently, this video was “digged” on Twitter and caused a wave of strong debate in the online community of Phu Tang. There is an opinion that this statement is too compulsive, because if it is so, is it possible that the people with the last name Yagami in the story are gay? However, if this is true, the naming of the main character is the intention from the beginning of the author Ohba Tsugumi in naming the character. Pew Die Pie think Hollywood should be more progressive, but as a result they still avoid talking about the main character being gay. Therefore, it makes the film, which was not as expected, even more distant from the original.
