I'm back with another list! For today's blog post, I will be talking about underrated Death Note characters. These are characters that don't really get the recognition they deserve. They may be characters I've talked about before, but this time I'll be talking about why I think they deserve more credit. Spoilers ahead though! So proceed with caution! Now then, let's get on with it! Enjoy!

1.) Soichiro Yagami - A loving father who wanted the best for his family. He is often overlooked by Death Note fans, even though he was immensely kind, brave, and intelligent throughout the series.

2.) Matsuda - He is highly underrated. He may have been a total goof, but his heart was in the right place. He was very serious about the Kira case, and he took a lot of risks in the process.

3.) Naomi Misora - She may not have appeared for very long, but she was amazingly intelligent. She could've been an amazing character if she was given the time she deserved.

4.) Mello - He may have been a bit selfish and irrational, but he still cared about those close to him. He even helped Near when he could, despite being jealous of him.

5.) Near - Many fans severely dislike him, and they say he stole L's victory. But it was more than that. He was intelligent and resourceful, and he was thrown into a case even the great detective L didn't solve when he was still just a teenager. But he took the case on anyways, and he used everything he could to finish his task.
