Death Note Episode 27: The Second L??

So, to recap, L has just died, along with Watari and the shinigami Rem. Now, Light thinks he's running the show all on his own, with no more interferences...but boy, is he wrong! The Kira crime rate keeps going up, and that is noticed by the newly introduced SPK (Special Provision for Kira) force. The two new characters, Mello and Near, are then told that L didn't choose which one of them would take over after he died. It's evident that Mello and Near dislike each other, and when the option of working together arises Mello regets it and says that he'll be leaving the orphanage (the one created by Watari, and the base of SPK). This leaves Near in charge. Five years later, Light is now in the police force, Near meets with the president, and Near takes over as the true successor of L (for the SPK. Light is still incharge in the other one).

Kawaii! He even sits like L

Near is adorable! I don't know his age, but he seems to be signifigantly younger than Light. Maybe 12 or 13. But he resembles L in such an odd way. He's constantly doing puzzles (all white ones at that), has serious darts skills, and has the cutest habit (much like L's weird mannerisms) of twirling a piece of his hair. At the end of this episode Light comments on how his aura resembled that of L's.
