Why is L so much older than light?

The question "Why is L so much older than light" refers to the characters from the anime/manga Death Note; L Lawliet (L) is about 24-25 years old, while Light Yagami is 17 at the start, making L roughly 7 years older, not significantly older, but his maturity, complex detective work, and mysterious persona make him seem much older and more experienced than the high school student Light. L's older age (around 25) and life as a world-renowned detective contrast sharply with Light's youthful academic life, creating a perception of a vast age and experience gap.

Why is L's posture so bad?

L's posture in Death Note is intentionally unusual, stemming from his claim that crouching helps his deductive reasoning (reducing his skills by 40% if he sits normally) and serves as a psychological quirk or defensive stance, as he's shown capable of normal posture but often hunches in public or around Light to blend in or feel more secure, a habit potentially influenced by the creator's own habits or the need to get "in the zone" for complex thought, fitting his eccentric character.
