    Uh.. Noo..? The clothes and the hair maybe, but nothing else.

  2. snafutti says:

    Very good likeness. Too bad they’ve already cast the live action series.

  3. Mr. Sir says:

    I’m probably the only person who thinks of Firefly (as opposed to the horrific High School Musical) upon seeing Zac Efron.

  4. lol says:

    I am ashamed that someone from high school musical has been compared to someone from death note…. poor Light…..

  5. KIBAsChewtoy says:

    Light may have been evil, but he doesnt deserve to be compared to Zac Efron.
    That is just too harsh a punishment.

    • KIBAsChewtoy says:

      Now that I think about it, this would explain why High School Musical was so insanely popular |:

    • Amber says:

      Im not a fan of zac far from it really
      But I dont think you need to be so childish
      comparing Zac to an anime character isnt too harsh a punishment
      Light was a real jerk
      If anybody should be offended it should be Zac
      Light was insane and evil how is being compared to him a compliment?
      Dont get me wrong I love his character for the plot of the story but him as a person? Not so much

      I hate High School Musical but in all honesty Id would have hated it just as much with an other guy instead of zac
      Its not the actor its the type of movie he plays in MUSICAL bagh

      Well anyway people have a right to have their own opinions just dont make tjem to hars thats not really cool

  6. Weaaz says:

    OMGno :> zac efron does look alike, but yagami is cooler smarter sexier and evil’ier (?) :D

  7. FC says:

    Only a 12 year old girl would have spotted this…

    …or a 40 year old man living at home playing World of Warcraft in between watching crap Animé

    • Tyler Reynolds says:

      Lol.
      Insult win. :>

    • Koriina says:

      Or a nerdy teenager with a 12-year-old sister.

    • Amy says:

      Or a 28 year old woman who plays WoW and watches anime. And is getting her PhD and is hella awesome. So shut yo’ pie hole, sucka’.

    • WarDragon says:

      lol “living at home”, doesn’t everybody do that? (except the people without a home… :( )

    • Amber says:

      Ore a complete normal person who liked death note
      Zac is famous zo you cant really excape him
      he is on internet evrywhere and the musical movies he plays in are lots of times on TV (Sadly enough)
      My point is even if you didnt watch high school musical ore hairspray somwhan could stil notice one looks alike
      (Im not saying I agree that zac and light look alike But neither Am I saying that there is no resemblence what so ever I can understand why people would think they look alike.)
      Light fans dont be so offended by this its not an insult its mearly one’s point of vieuw Is that not allowed?

      What if you didnt see Death note and didnt know Zac at all?
      Would you have the same opion than?
      Somehow I doupt that.

  8. Amanda says:

    BLASPHEMY!!!!

  9. KIRA says:

    Watch what you say.

  10. Natalie says:

    It’s not so much a question of ‘would Zach make a good Light?’ but a question of ‘does Zach /look/ like Light?’. The answer is yes.

    Oh well, let the flame wars continue…..

    • Eman says:

      Actually, since Zac’s supposed to be playing Light in the English live-action this IS a question of ‘would he make a good Light?’. And the answer is no.

      • cheftoniFTW says:

        actually…the answer is no chance in hell…

        • Amber says:

          They do look a bit alike
          dont be to proud ore to much of a baby to admit that

          Besides Light is evil Zac is not but you people seem to forget is Zac is an actor which means he pretends to be somebody else

          I cant say if he would make a good Light ore not
          The only way to find out is to actually let him play that role.
          If he would ever play such a role it would be really different from what he noramally does He wouldnt start singen all of a sudden you know XD
          He does slightly resemble Light but that really isnt the isshu here.
          An actor doesnt need to look like an anime character
          The japanes death note movie had an amazing actor for Lights role and yet that actor didnt look like anime Light at all

          Why are people even arguing about this
          Its not like Zac is actually going to play in a American version of death note.
          I hope there never will be an American Version of Death note If Death note ever needs to be filmed again please let it be done by english ore irish etc those movies look more natural.

          Im done with my rambling now
          I crave some cake so its time to go
          laters

  11. Keshia says:

    lies! Light is so much better looking than Zach Effron.. I want to punch him in the face

  12. woahhhface says:

    This comparison is unfair because Zac Effron is most likely going to be playing Light in the new Death Note movie.

  13. wolfie says:

    wow! that is an amazing find! well done.

  14. Generics says:

    They don’t really look a lot like each other. There are some similarities, but not that many. Whenever someone mentions his name, I think that he’s a terrible actor. Putting them together, should they use him for the movie, is a bit of an insult to the character.

  15. Erotomania says:

    I agree, there are vague similarities. I do, however, very much hate Zac Efron for taking my name in vain, I’ve had to endure the nickname “Bolton” for far too long. >.>

    If they ever cast him as Light, I will be most upset. I actually like the Light in the movie, because while he looks nothing like Light from the manga at least he has the right attitude.

    More love for Light…

  16. Zero says:

    Aww, those girls are so pretty ^_^

  17. ttlylookslike says:

    OMG, the resemblance is shocking.

  18. CS says:

    Holy crap, he totally does! I’ve seen other comparisons and they work as well as these pictures. I’m not an anime fan, but I can see this working.

  19. The Seccond Kira says:

    i wonder who i’ll be ‘totally looks like’d’ with

  20. Misamisa says:

    yayayayayayayayayay! my Light has a movie career! how wonderful!

  21. L says:

    I have you now Kira and Kira Two! All I’ll trace your IP addresses and find out who you are once and for all!

    -plots-

  22. bluecat says:

    i dont even care about this but WHY THE HELL ARE THEY REMAKING DEATHNOTE
    ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH
    >:[

    • cheftoniFTW says:

      I would guess that the main reasons for an american remake are as follow:
      1.Death Note brought a $#!7 laod of money to Takeshi Obata and Tsugumi Ohba.
      2.They have no life, therefore sucking the life out of people who actually made a masterpiece, make a remake of it, and we get to call it crap…
      3.I’m guessing they want to make anime more suitable for kids….seriously…let’s take the 3 latest animes that they are making american remakes of… Dragon Ball Z, Avatar and Death Note…
      Dragon Ball Z: Piccolo is scary, therefore…they made him white, nicer and less menacing…
      Avatar: Some kids dislike monirites (I do not), therefore…all the characters are caucasian…
      Death Note: Death Note deals with Death in general, so they put in a “familiar” face in the picture and boom! you have a less scary movie…for us anime fans…it is the scariest thing you’ll ever see…

      P.S. I don’t really like Light…but I really have to go with him on this…Zac Effron should quit acting while he’s ahead…

  23. 10101 says:

    Yeah I know, remaking “Death Note” was a bad idea… there is no way that they’ll have people capable enough to play all the unique characters. On top of that.. the movie will have to be a trilogy, or even more than that, to avoid rushing the detailed storyline so much.

    In my opinion, the manga and anime will never be surpassed, this going to go terrible for all death note fans. What the hell were they thinking.. the expectations to meet are way to high for them.

  24. LadySquall says:

    omg in this picture he looks like Light, lol.

  25. Agnus says:

    Let me write your name…

  26. snrqdm ltjn pstdvf zicydsago fqlpreyct whtod zjfrpyuc

  27. Passerby says:

    Sweet mother of god, why? Who is so evil that they had to submit this?
    Even Light doesn’t even deserve this sort of punishment! I need to make a note of this…

  28. The McGill says:

    Poor Light-kun… WHAT?! ZAC EFFRON PLAYING LIGHT?!

    Ok.

    Ok.

    OMFG.

    THIS IS TERRIBLE.

    (runs to L screaming) SAVE ME FROM THE ZAC EFFRON!

    (drags L over to Light) LIGHT! PLEASE! WRITE THIS GUY’S NAME IN THE DEATH NOTE! PLEEEEASE! (falls over tragically)

    L: Oi, wtf?

    Light: (in shock) Give. Me. The. Death. Note.

    Me: Kill… Zac…

    –WK

  29. greybob says:

    American producers ruining another great anime? [adds to list]
    Now we’ve got: speed racer, astro boy, dragonball, battle angel Alita, Death Note, COWBOY BEBOP (why? WHY? even worse, rumors that KEANU REEVES might play Spike :X ) monster, and probably a crap load of others I am unaware of. More proof that hollywood is running out of ideas. Only a matter of time before they make a Naruto movie, and Naruto is already overrated as it is! They’d better not screw up Monster, or I’ll kill, KILL!

    • Eman says:

      Oh God Keanu? XD

      Keanu: -reads script- WTF? Well, as long as it extends my 15 minutes. . .

    • cheftoniFTW says:

      You forgot M. Night Siamalon’s Avatar movie…

    • sarahxsmile says:

      I can deal with Zac Efron in the Death Note movie- it’s not like I’m super thrilled about it, but honestly, he’s not a bad actor. He might be the most famous for the High School Musical movies, but he can play other roles. I don’t know how well he’ll be able to play Light, but it could be worse.

      Like, for instance, I’ve heard rumors that a Jonas Brother is going to be in the movie >| I think that is WAY worse than Zac. Just sayin’

      Sorry, didn’t mean to make teh interwebz srsbsns

  30. misa-misa says:

    NO! Just no, they do not look alike. That just kills DN altogether

  31. ashlyn says:

    zac is freakin ugly

  32. thatonetwilighthater says:

    Where does Zac come in when related to Firefly?

  33. Boo says:

    HOW DARE U COMPARE THAT CRAPPY PERSON ZACH EFRON TO MY GOD LIGHT YAGAMI?!?!!?

  34. Random says:

    I swear to god, some angry adsolent brunette is writing down the submitter’s name somewhere, and I approve.

  35. blibbertootz says:

    I say Light looks much more like Chase Crawford!

  36. Tessa says:

    Irs Light Yagami not Yagami Light! and i say they do look alot alike

  37. Jamie says:

    WTF ZAK EFROM FUGING SUCKS HES THE WORST AND SO IS MILEY MILEY IS SUCH A WANNABE!!! SHES SUCH A SLUT

  38. ktai. says:

    kso, that’s wrong. the end.

  39. Roshni says:

    ZOMG THEY DO NOT LOOK ALIKE, PLEASE DO NOT INSULT LIGHT YAGAMI LIKE THAT!!

  40. Wut says:

    They look sooooo alike. All the anime-tards need to get off their anime pedestal. BAHAHAHAHA

    • Whatthehell says:

      I would ask you to go die of a gut wrenching haertattack but that would be cliche wouldn’t it? If you found out how to turn the computer on congrats, now spew your retardation somewhere else before it gets on someone’s shoes.

  41. wut says:

    lol@butthurt animu fans

  42. Paige says:

    I know Zac but who the hell is light???? I dont know anything.

  43. brooke says:

    Dude, Light is so much cooler. We all know Zac tweezes his eyebrows. lol

  44. aranel says:

    I don’t know…he does look like Yagami Raito actually…surprising to me.

  45. heck yeah says:

    His eyes and nose are too small to be compared.

  46. heck yeah says:

    I mean his eyes are too small but his nose is too big :p

  47. Cat says:

    I don’t think Zac looks like Light, ONLY the clothes and hair in THAT picture, but never in anything else.

    Oh and to whoever said that he’s better than Tatsuya (I forget who said it) no WAY is he better, Tatsuya is sooooo cute ^^

  48. Rose says:

    *Sob*

    *sniff* Why must people post atrocities like this?

    Ah well. Because of how much they look alike here, there was a rumor going around that Zac Efron would get the part of Light in the new Americanized movie.

    http://www.petitiononline.com/apple88/petition.html

  49. Yagami Light says:

    What?! theres no way I look to that gay emo chick hahaha, KIRA!!!!

  50. cbsc says:

    WTF?! dont smear yagami raito’s name.

    and to compare him to zac efron is just bull****.!!

  51. cheftoniFTW says:

    I think the japanese actor was better, Effron…just…no…it’s pure evil!
    Eviller than Light himself!

  52. s says:

    zac’s face is too chubby to look like light.

  53. THE HORROR says:

    THEEE HORRROR OF IT ALLL

    I think I just lost my interest in Death Note. -shudder-

  54. temari says:

    ok the live action deth note movie they are thinking of zack efron to play light and miley to play misa

  55. Diablo says:

    PRAISE KIRA! -bows down-
    XD

  56. MicaMi says:

    Never.. never ever compare anime to a real life guy.

  57. Seraph says:

    WRONG WRONG WRONG ><
    Get it awaaaaaay.
    I can’t decide who I hate more D<
    Light, Zac, Light, Zac….

  58. maye says:

    this is a big NO! NO!!

    OMG zac can never be yagami light!!! well they look same there but he’ll never be able to do it.. his not cool enought to be light-kun!! haha..

  59. Ellah says:

    Please god no.
    O_O

  60. Quillpaw says:

    That would explain all the celebrity deaths lately…

    Zac Efron killed Billy Mays. I just know it.

    • TubaLoo says:

      and Michael Jackson, Farrah Faucet. Patrick Swaze, even.
      *sigh* Saw ‘em on TV and he just… didn’t like them.

  61. Lolwut says:

    *Freaks out in corner of room*
    PLEASE don’t say this is part of a westernised live action we would having Joe Jonas as L

  62. Sohma_Kiryuu_Riyuzaki says:

    Hell no how cud “Mr.Pretty Boy” pull off a twisted character like Light(Kira)..I mean in mi opinion yes they look like they cud be brothers but…Light is a very sick character,hes killed 100s ,and even didnt kill but planned Ls death then we get a Little”The ….oh gtg

  63. hiromu says:

    Although i hate it, it’s kinda true

  64. HardcoreCarrotCandy says:

    I’m sorry, all you people, I agree with this right here because he really does look like Zac! Plus, I feel bad for the people who stopped reading/watching Death Note after L died. It got pretty good :]

    • kiryuu_yagami_suohFTW says:

      i agree. some people just are retarded.

      sure, i cried like hell when L died, but then i just wanted to know whether light won or lost

  65. K says:

    I whached it thil the end….I think:
    WHY DO AMERIKANS WANT TO REMAKE THE MOVE???
    WHY?!
    OH GOD WWWWHHHYYYYYYYYY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

  66. dani615 says:

    hair clothes and eyes

  67. Hannah says:

    o_o I KNEW IT.

  68. Newbie says:

    God, if your real, Please never let America do a live action of death note. This is scary close.

  69. JazzGlam says:

    light IS the ownage

  70. TubaLoo says:

    Okay, I don’t like Light at all…
    but at least he has some knowledge. I bet if Zac Efron got a Death Note he’d write his name in it to make sure it was returned if lost.

  71. tehawesomesauce says:

    D:< I always knew Zefron was EVIL! But Light is so~ much cooler…

  72. Death Note lover says:

    What you said makes sense.

  73. ashley says:

    they do look alike but some people dont like to admit it

  74. bladida says:

    i highly doubt that disney will allow their star to play a psychopathic merciless killer.

    don’t get so worked up on it, it will most likely not happen unless zac decides to split from disney, which is also highly improbable

    he DOES look like light though…

  75. lolingrobot says:

    Face it Ya’ll. they’re both fake (especially zacks nose lol) XD

  76. grimdeath999 says:

    EPIC FAIL hee doesnt look liek him and he doesn have the brains to be him anyone that thinks this including the people making the american remake can burn in hell

  77. Kira says:

    What the hell, he doesn’t even have my eye color! His nose is waay too big. The ONLY resemblance is skin shade, hair, and clothing but thats it. He deserves to be judged *grabs the death note and a pen*
    Now, lets see… all those disney stars shall be judged upon, they’ll never see it coming *evil smile and laugh*

  78. MisaMisa says:

    He hardly looks like Light at all…maybe the hair colour, but the eyes, the face shape and the nose are all wrong. I love Death Note :) especially L, Light and Matsuda :D

  79. Handbear says:

    No, he doesn’t look like Light *eye twitch* Nobody can look like Light, Light is too.. eh.. EVIL to look like someone *super eye twitch* Effron is just.. well.. not a Light look-a-like D: (I like Light’s evilness)

  80. err... says:

    WTH!!! no way… the hair is KINDA the same in THAT (and only that) pic but the face? NO. seriously… :|

  81. mazzia says:

    that AND they’re both totally gay

  82. lawli88 says:

    One would hope that Zac Efron does NOT get cast as Light Yagami in the American remake. And if he does… that would be a dark day for Death Note fans, indeed. XD

  83. Ryuzaki says:

    Zack Efron can not be Light Yagami as he’s weird

  84. Zodia says:

    NO!! NO he does NOT look like Raito Yagami!
    Freaking morons.

  85. ericon says:

    NO WAY

  86. ericon says:

    NO NO NO……. WAY . THE SHIRT AND THE HAIR MAY BE BUT HE IS HOOOOT.

  87. Don says:

    I dont see why people wouldnt like zac as light.. If was never a dosneu star or was never on highschool musical you wouldnt be saying these things. But honestly i dont think he can play the part.

  88. noname says:

    I hate you, but its true =(

  89. L says:

    zac could never match the awesomeness in Light

  90. ako says:

    sh** wtf.. i an’t believe it but light is way too cooler than zac it needs a million light years before zac beats light yagami

  91. Sammy says:

    Lol no…Zac’s jaw looks broader when looking straight on and his eyes are alot smaller. Of course, Light IS an anime character, known for their larger then normal eyes. I bet I know what this is coming from though. That Zac Efron is going to be the Light Yagami in the American Adaptation of Death Note? I don’t think so…plus, it’s not comfirmed what the cast is going to be. I sure hope it’s good though…hopefully Warner Bros doesnt screw it up xD

  92. Sarah says:

    They look similiar, but hardly anyone looks enough like an anime character to be compared. It’s simply because one is flesh and blood(light), while the other is a drawing(Zac).

  93. Sarcastic Moron says:

    Am I the only one who is willing to give this one a shot? It appears that the only reason Death Note fans are flaming him because he was in HSM (which was awful). From what I’ve heard he’s a good actor and is apparently a fan of the series. (like myself :D TEAM L! And Mello is a close second) I’m willing to overlook his HSM past and see the movie when it comes out.

    Also, is anyone here a Beyond Birthday fan?

    • TheBakaUsagi says:

      HSM was a HORRIBLE film. (An hour and a half of pure torture if i’m honest. Not to mention the sequels. XD)

      But, i guess it’d depend on how well he played the role, IF he gets to play it. ._.

      Beyond Birthday. <3
      He's one of my favourite characters. x3

      • Sarcastic Moron says:

        Yes. It is not yet confirmed whether there WILL be a live action movie, but if they decided to go ahead with it, I will see it regardless of the casting.

        And yes. Beyond Birthday is awesome!

        “I’m a corpse.”

        • TheBakaUsagi says:

          Well, if there is, i’m definitely going to watch it!
          It’s just like the new Avatar movie. I don’t think the actors suit the characters, but, i’m still going to see it. :3

          And even though the LABB book was just a spin off, it was still great, and i loved the way it was Mello narrating. One of the best books i’ve ever read. xD

          • Sarcastic Moron says:

            Yeah…that movie was okay, bu I know that if they decide to do Death Note than I will dress up as L and go see it! :p

            Well LABB is unlike L: Change The World. L: Change the World is basically a spinoff of the Japanese Live Action movie, where it loosely follows the manga/anime.

            But in LABB, the information is consistent with the manga/anime and shows you how the Los Angeles BB Murders happened. Remember when L stated that Naomi Misora worked under him before she died? Yeah.

            PLus, I think that was one of my favorite stories too.

            • TheBakaUsagi says:

              Yes! Cosplay win! <3
              I would definitely do the same, but maybe Matt, because he's built on win. x3

              Yeah, I've never really got round to watching L: change the world, but, I know it's a different setting. It's about bioterrorism, right?

              I also love the end of LABB. Where beyond dies. Of a heart attack. I mean, as much as I love him, I couldn't stop laughing. x3

  94. Mikami says:

    KAMI!?

    Oh wait…

  95. icyprincess says:

    dream on Zac dream on………………. u can be Ryuk though…or Misa…….

  100. GrimTim says:
