Matt smokes... a lot. He absolutely LOVES video games, and carries a PGS (portable game system)
around in his pocket everywhere he goes! You never see him take off his goggles in the series.
Although he only shows up in 11 or 12 panels in the manga, he is still an important character.
He shows up in the anime only briefly as well. He gets shot down and that is the last you see of him.
Matt, Near, and Mello all grew up in the Wammy house,
and though Matt hardly shows up at all in either the manga or anime, he does contribute to the Kira case.
It implies that Matt and Mello are very close. Though it's vague,
somewhere in the series it shows how humble Mello is to Matt.
In the bonus 13th volume of the manga,
we learn that Matt was the third successor to become L after Near and Mello.
He's a computer and technological expert that used to go to Wammy's House with Near and Mello.
In the manga, Matt is introduced by working with Mello on the Kira case.
A picture of Matt without his goggles is also in the 13th volume.
In the anime, Matt's hair is a brownish color, while in the manga many fans like to believe it is red.
I have never seen an official colored manga drawing of Matt,
thus I cannot confirm what his real hair color is in the manga.
Matt is nineteen years old. He was 14 at the time of Lsama's death and then four years passed,
making him eighteen years old at that time.
However, he doesn't show up immediately, and turns nineteen before he is actually brought in by Mello.
Matt dies on January 26th, 2010 at the age of 19 (less than a week away from his 20th birthday).
Matt
Matt ，whose real name is Mail Jeevas , is a consort of Mello's.
A character in the manga and anime versions, Matt was also a former resident of Wammy's House;
Ohba described him as the "third most talented member" of the house.
Matt is Mello's helperas Matt performs espionage work and acts as an accomplice in Takada's kidnapping,
which results in his death when he is shot by Takada's bodyguards.
He is voiced by Tomohiro Nishimura in the Japanese anime and by Drew Nelson in English dub.
According to How to Read, Matt enjoys video games and isn't outgoing. He also seems to be a chain smoker.
He uses his last breath to smoke his cigarette. He is also behind Near and Mello in succeeding L.
Ohba said that he created Matt because when Mello started to act alone
Ohba believed that he would find difficulty in advancing the story unless Mello had a character to interact with.
Ohba said that to a reader Matt may appear to play video games and have no other actions,
but he said that Matt's existence was "important" in the story.
In response to a question inquiring about which characters the creators had the most difficulty creating,
Ohba cited Matt and said "I didn't even know what kind of person he was!"
Obata said that he did not receive advance notice regarding Matt,who had the character concept of "a young man who loves gaming and doesn't really care much about this world."
Obata said that he remember seeing the thumbnails and asking his editor"Who's the character?!"
The thumbnails gave Matt a bowl haircut and goggles;
Obata instead drew "What I liked."Obata added that he could "creat Matt naturally"
as he had a "he probably won't do much" mentality regarding characters introduced in the Near and Mello ect.
