This is Tatsuya Fujiwara, He is famous for his lead roles in Battle Royal and the Death Note live action films. Death Note is a psychological thriller in which Tatsuya Fujiwara plays Light Yagami, The best student in his college. He finds a Death Note, and at first thinks that it is joke and decided to test it out, on a criminal on death row, the next morning the death of the criminal is reported in the newspaper. Light becomes known as 'Kira' meaning killer as more and more criminals die a special investigation team try to find Kira's identity and capture him. Light is arguably justice, as his intentions were to purify the world but a murder is a murder and he is seen as the evil character. Whereas his role in Battle royal differs completely, he plays the hero in a terrorist film. 
This is him in Death Note as Light Yagami, the combination of his brown hair in comparison to the other characters black hair, the lighting and angle of lighting on him, and of course the Shinagami (God of Death) who lingers around him, help to create an evil aurora and look.
Then there is his role in Battle Royal, where he leads the 'wild seven' against the terrorists. He is the Hero instead of the villain this time. The lighting and emotion in his face show that he is a victim here.There is also the camera angle which helps to portray a character. Here Tatsuya Fujiwara, seems lost and innocent. The shot used is a high angle shot which also causes the character to look powerless and weak.
Props can also affect how the audience view a character for example,
Put a gun to a characters head, and he is probably deserving of this which means the audience view him as evil. However...
Give the character a puppy, and he is completely innocent.
