The meme in question likely originates from Death Note, which is a critically acclaimed Japanese manga series written by Tsugumi Ohba and illustrated by Takeshi Obata. The manga was first serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump from 2003 to 2006, and it later received an extremely popular anime adaptation in 2006, along with several live-action films, a musical, and even a Netflix adaptation in 2017 (though the latter is widely panned by fans).
At its core, Death Note is a psychological thriller that centers around a high school student named Light Yagami, who discovers a mysterious black notebook known as the Death Note. This notebook has the terrifying power to kill anyone whose name is written in it, provided the user has the victim’s face in their mind while writing the name.
The Death Note originally belongs to a Shinigami (Japanese death god) named Ryuk, who drops it into the human world out of boredom. Light, who is disillusioned with crime and the state of the world, decides to use the notebook to eliminate criminals and create a utopian world where he reigns as a godlike figure. He adopts the alias "Kira" (derived from the Japanese pronunciation of “killer”) as he carries out these killings.
This sets off a high-stakes intellectual cat-and-mouse game between Light and a mysterious, brilliant detective known only as L, who is determined to uncover Kira’s identity and bring him to justice.
