    Near (Death Note)

    Nate River (Japanese: ネイト・リバー Hepburn: Neito Ribā), universally referred to by the mononym Near (ニア Nia), is a fictional character in the manga series Death Note, created by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata. Near is the younger of the two successors of L who was investigating the methods of identifying Kira, the in-universe name given to the mysterious serial killer who murdered criminals by means of the eponymous Death Note. He becomes the leader of the SPK (Special Provision for Kira), an organization that looks into the Kira case, and in the end, succeeds in uncovering Kira's identity. He is voiced by Noriko Hidaka in the Japanese anime, and by Cathy Weseluck in the English version. In the Japanese TV Drama, he is portrayed by Mio Yūki.

    Creation and conception

    Tsugumi Ohba, writer of Death Note said that he introduced Near and Mello together as L individually could not defeat Kira. Ohba felt that introducing one character individually would produce a "repeat" of the struggle between Light and L, so he instead wanted a story involving three combatants fighting each other. Ohba said that he let Obata create the character designs and asked him to make both characters look "a little "L-ish"". Ohba said that he "wavered" in their ages and considered making the characters the sons of L. Ohba added that he did not initially develop their personalities as he wanted to "reveal" them through their actions.

    (I want to be near you)
    I want to hear what you have to say

    Glad that I found you
    It's good to be around you
    Good to be near you
    When it comes to making time

    To make my way to stay
    (I want to be near you)
    You're my all
    You're my everything
    (As long as I'm near you)
    There's a song in my heart to sing
    A song of your laughter
    Is all that I'm after
    I want to be near you
    Love is such a happy song
    And when love comes along
    It's good to be alive
    It's good that you arrived on time
