      It’s a legit tactic in Death Note to use a celebrity’s name as a pseudonym in order to make them a sacrificial lamb for if someone tries to kill you, so this also kind of makes sense.

        Only works if they look similar to you, since you have to be picturing the person’s face as you write the name.

          Yup. Matsuda deliberately fumbled and exposed his face to not-Kira Death Note holders but didn’t die since he gave a fake name.

          I’m under the impression you might accidentally/subconsciously think about both faces and the Death Note will LGTM it. I don’t remember the canon drawing a hard line on the topic, but L was strategically leveraging the ambiguity of that rule.
