In the anime "Death Note," Light Yagami uses manipulation of information and perception as a key strategy to evade capture. He carefully controls the narrative surrounding the mysterious deaths linked to the Death Note, often framing them as acts of justice rather than murder. By shaping public opinion and the investigation's direction, Light creates a facade of innocence and deflects suspicion away from himself. Additionally, he deceives those around him, including law enforcement, by carefully crafting his image as a diligent student and a trustworthy individual. Light's manipulation of information and perception helps him stay steps ahead of his pursuers and maintain his facade as the upstanding citizen "Kira."
