Note

The only deaths Light Yagami is not responsible for when it comes to the victims of the other versions of Kira are the two Sakura TV hosts killed by Mikami for insulting Light, the 13 businessmen, Arayoshi Hatori, and officer Ito who were killed by Higuchi since Light didn't plan or order their deaths, and everyone killed by Misa in the episode "Assault" since Light hadn't even known her yet.
