Without a doubt it is L.
Even Near stated that he and Mello could not compare to L's Genius. But combine Near and Mello they're on L's level.
No, Near calls himself "N" He thinks he is the successor of L.
L
L and Near never appeared together at any time. At the time of Near's first appearance, L was already dead.It was also implied by Mello (in Nishio Ishin's spin-off novel, Another Note) that although he met L at one point, Near had not. Near has even said (in the post-series one-shot) that he never met L in person.
Near acts like L because he is his successor. He was raised by the same charity home.
Here is the coolness of the guys in deathnote Mellow,L,Near,Matt,Rem,Ryuk,Matsuda,Mikami,Isowa,Then sadly I had to put Light in here. light. I HATE LIGHT!
It's a quote from Death Note when Near was referring to L failing to catch Kira, Near hated and resented L because Near wanted to be the world's greatest detective. Wrong. Near brought up and wanted to be like L. L cared about him as he cared about L.

The real names of L, Mello, and Near are as follows:L --> L LawlietMello --> Mihael KeehlNear --> Nate River

L Didn't fully Die until the end Of "L Changes the world" and at the end he leaves everything to Near when Near gets old enough.But for the time being Near is at a Boys Math academy until time comes for him to carry on the L legacy!
Okay, So Upto where i am.Near was In a Abandonned village.. Where F was looking for the cure for a virus.And F got affected, and the entire village got affected..And Near was sent to L.So Near turned into an Orphan.One day before L died L named near " Near " and sent him toWataris school.Therefore, N is Kind of L'S son.The other guy is a noob at DEATHNOTE.loli lovei t
