Death Note Role

Fujii co-wrote the screenplay for L: Change the World (2008), the film that follows L Lawliet during his final weeks as he takes on a bioterrorism case separate from the main Kira investigation. The script builds an original story around the character rather than adapting a specific arc of Tsugumi Ohba's manga, giving Kenichi Matsuyama's L a stand-alone send-off after the first two Death Note films.
