So, what's the pun behind "Light Yagami"?

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@piefed.world 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Just looked it up, and I'm seeing that his name is a sort of contradiction. His first name is "Light", and the characters in his last name mean "night god".

It sounds like sort of a "light vs dark" / "good vs evil" wordplay, although I don't know if that counts as a pun.

And they spell "Light" with the Kanji for moon. (夜神 月) So just the reading of the Kanji is "Moon Nightgod".

Extra Funfact: His pen name " Kira" means "glitter/sparkle". As in stars are "kirakira".

it's supposed to be killer (キラー), but japanese is excellent at butchering foreign languages.
