In the Death Note series, it is seen that while L and Soichiro Yagami are
observing Light through the cameras, L says that he used to do a lot of
pointless things at the age of seventeen.

Later, we see that he is giving the same exam as Light, who is seventeen years
old at that time.

This made me curious. What exactly is L's age?

question
death-note
How old was L in the Death Note series?


As stated in the [wikia](http://deathnote.wikia.com/wiki/L_\(character\)), L's
age is 24-25 years old.

Also, in [Death Note 13: How to
Read](http://deathnote.wikia.com/wiki/Death_Note_13:_How_to_Read), it is
stated that L was born on October 31, 1979 and died on November 5, 2004. From
this we can calculate that L was 25 years old at the time of his death.
