Casting Kira: Light Yagami Actors Across the Globe

4/2/2016

1 Comment

 
We have been collecting here all of the actors who have played Light Yagami in Death Note adaptations throughout the world.  Arranged here in roughly the order in which each actor took on the role of Kira.  We may have messed up the chronology here and there.

There are still a couple of blanks - at least - which should become obvious as you scroll through.  Can anyone assist in filling them?  Also please do shout up, if you believe that we've missed somebody along the way.

As for the rest, whom for you wears the face of Light Yagami?  Or, as the case may be for the majority of Kira actors here, carries the voice of God of this New World? And did they look anything like their vocal chords sounded?

And there you have it!  A round up of all the Kira actors performing in official adaptations of Death Note thus far!

We will also be adding them to the calendar - On This Day in Death Note - as per their birthdays. Which leaves us with a slight problem.  We don't have the birth dates of the Light Yagami actors listed below:
  • Andy Kelso;
  • Louie Paraboles;
  • José Leonardo;
Do you know those dates? 

Though there's a vague suspicion here that there is no Castilian Death Note voice actor per se.  It's an alternate listing for the Spanish dub and therefore is Sergio Zamora.

Hope you enjoyed seeing together all of the actors who have played Kira.
