Shinigami's are like... hm... how do I explain... to the dictionary!

In Death Note, Shinigamis are the (original) owners of notebooks called the Death Note. If a name is written in the Note, then the person of that name would die, and the responsible Shinigami would gain life.

I hope that wasn't some lie from the internet.
