MelloMello (メロ, Mero?), Mihael Keehl (ミハエル・ケール, Mihaeru Kēru?)

MelloMello (メロ, Mero?), whose real name is Mihael Keehl (ミハエル・ケール, Mihaeru Kēru?), is the older of L's two successors raised in Watari's orphanage for gifted children. When it is decided that Mello should work with the other successor, Near, Mello refuses, citing an inability to work with Near, to whom he is considered second. Similar to L's fondness for sweets, Mello is often seen eating bars of chocolate. Unlike L or Near, however, Mello is much more outgoing and emotional, to a fault at some points. He is quite intelligent and resourceful, able to set up elaborate plans thanks to his Mafia connections. Mello is voiced by Nozomu Sasaki in the Japanese anime.
Mello decides to find Kira his own way by joining the Mafia. After obtaining one of the Death Notes from the Kira investigation team by kidnapping Sayu Yagami, Light ends up setting up a raid that leaves him badly scarred and his real name in Light's hands. After learning that Light is Kira, he kidnaps Takada, but is soon killed by Takada's hidden pages of the Death Note. This action causes Mikami to expose his own Death Note to kill Takada, eventually leading to Light's defeat.
