Ryuk, a Shinigami bored with the activities of the Shinigami realm after Light died, decides to drop a Death Note in the human world for someone to find, hoping to relieve his boredom. Ryuk has a fairly humanoid appearance. He is extremely slim and has light-gray skin, almost blueish color, with spiky black hair; thin, blue-gray lips; and sharp, pointed teeth. His limbs are abnormally long, and he wears rings on his fingers. He has large, round yellow eyes with bright red irises and wings.
