I have a theory. Light Yagami (who is a death note owner) became a Shinigami (I believe so). So does Misa Amane, Higuchi, Teru Mikami and Kira #5, Soichiro Yagami (He touched the Note but is not the owner right?) become a Shinigami? O.K forget Soichiro Yagami. All the 5 Kira including Light Yagami can become a Shinigami?
