  Japan Zone -- Features -- Death, Take Note
The author of Death Note has not stepped into the spotlight despite the manga's rising success, choosing to remain a silhouette in the background.
Certainly the lightening sensation Death Note created when its first part was published in December 2003 in Shonen Jump magazine is difficult to attribute to a debut mangaka.
The idea of shinigami, or 'death gods', have been used in other manga and anime series such as Yami No Matsuei and Bleach, and the interpretation of the appearance and roles of these death-gods is as varied as the manga world itself.

 Death zone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The death zone is a term that refers to high altitudes, encountered by mountain climbers, where the amount of oxygen present cannot sustain human life.
At extreme altitudes (above 7,500 metres, 24,600 feet), sleeping becomes very difficult, digesting food is impossible (as the body shuts the digestive system down), and the risk of HAPE or HACE increases greatly.
Finally, in the "death zone" at 8,000 metres (26,250 feet) and higher, no human body can acclimatize.
