although it has been stated that l's intelligence is 8/10, below both light's and even near's, when asked which character he thought was the smartest, ohba replied, "l. Because the plot requires it. [laughs]".
L can tie two cherry stems in a knot with his mouth, as seen in episode 18, which is seen as a sign of being a good kisser.
L's name was first shown in on a promotional card at the beginning of death note 13.
In the anime, certain characters take on stylized hair colors while the viewer hears their thoughts; l's colour is blue.
In the italian version, rather than using the letter "l" to spell his name, the phonetic spelling ("elle") is used.
