    Vorona 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/274325.jpg
Voiced by: M.A.O. (Japanese), Brina Palencia (English)

A former Mafiya assassin and Blood Knight that fled to Ikebukuro, taking a truck filled with guns along with her.


  • Action Girl: Vorona, upon first meeting Shizuo, immediately decided she had to fight him — so she stabbed him with a knife and shot him with a rifle. Shizuo threw her own motorcycle at her simply because her stabbing him reminded him of Izaya.
  • Adaptation Dye-Job: She is described as having blue eyes in the novel. In the anime they're closer to purple eyes.
  • Archnemesis Dad: Vorona and her father never did get along very well, but after stealing a truckload of illegal weapons from him, their relationship has turned ugly.
    Vorona: I fled. Parental ties, already severed. Next meeting, one of us will die. Pity, pity.
  • Ax-Crazy: She's perpertually in a state of bloodlust.
  • Badass Bookworm: She is a trained assassin but she also possesses an extensive knowledge and her favorite activity happens to be reading books.
  • Becoming the Mask: Seems to be heading in this direction when she actually intends to break Shizuo out of jail before bumping into Izaya and attacking him. Likewise, despite her initial goal of killing Shizuo, she later saves him from one of Izaya's traps instead and attempts to kill Izaya so Shizuo won't have to.
  • Blood Knight: As a defense mechanism, Vorona is obsessed with killing strong people in order to prove her own strength, and to confirm human fragility by seeing how easy it is to take their lives. It's the reason she becomes Shizuo's kohai.
  • Break the Haughty: Her disgraceful loss to Akabayashi causes this. Prior to that, she was confident enough in her combat abilities to challenge insanely strong opponents, and then attempt to kill them to test human fragility. She wises up a little afterward.
  • Broken Ace: Often described as being incredibly beautiful and excelling at everything she does. Her only major flaw is her obsessive impulse to destroy strong people.
    Drakon: Vorona... has more loveliness, more intellect, and more knowledge at her disposal than anyone else in this place... at the same time, though, she's also an unstoppable and incorrigible fighting addict.
  • But Now I Must Go: Returns home at the end of Ketsu.
  • Clingy Jealous Girl: Shows signs of this. She definitely wasn't too happy when Orihara twins hanged themselves onto Shizuo's arms. Then there's her rivalry with Akane, which despite the two butting heads over who gets to kill Shizuo, it can be suspiciously seen as a love triangle to the outside viewer.
  • Creepy Monotone: Most of the time. Only when something completely unexpected surprises her, like seeing a girl draw a sword from within her body or a man throw a car at her, does she actually break her usual tone of voice.
  • Cute Bookworm: She's beautiful and smart.
  • Dangerous Deserter: Not helped by the fact that she has a natural inclination towards Ax-Crazy.
  • Dark Action Girl: A very skilled fighter, who nonetheless takes too much pleasure in causing death and destruction.
  • Encyclopaedic Knowledge: She sounds like a human Wikipedia when she's not itching to destroy something.
  • Freaky Is Cool: She reacts with sheer delight at the prospect of fighting monsters like Celty, Anri, and Shizuo in Ikebukuro.
  • Only Known by Their Nickname: Not even her father calls her by her real name.
  • Pet the Dog: Her loud protests when she was told that Awakusu-kai were going to kill Slon show that she isn't completely heartless.
  • Psycho for Hire: She works as an assassin because she loves the excitement of killing people.
  • Psychopathic Womanchild: Lingerin remarks that while Vorona is physically mature, she is still a child mentally.
  • Razor Floss: She uses steel threads to behead people in an ambush, although it doesn't quite work when she tries it on someone who's already missing one.
  • Ship Tease: With Shizuo.
  • Sparing Them the Dirty Work: Vorona tries to kill Izaya in Shizuo's stead, because she won't let Izaya turn Shizuo into a murderer like herself.
  • Spell My Name With An S: Vorona or Varona?
  • Spock Speak: Her intonation of the Japanese language is flawless, but her word choice and syntax can get really weird. Averted in Russian though, which she speaks normally.
  • The Stoic: Is usually deadpan, but not always, since she gets really excited when she's about to fight a strong opponent.
  • Stripperiffic: As mentioned earlier, Vorona's unzipped uniform is utterly impractical for riding a motorcycle, and is probably meant as pure Fanservice.
  • Sugar-and-Ice Personality: She's cold towards most people. Her softer side is reserved mostly for her partner Slon and Shizuo.
  • Sweet Tooth: Confessed herself as one after her answer to Shizuo's question about Siberia somehow turned into a monologue about various sorts of cakes.
  • Too Dumb to Live: Of the "would have died if not for circumstances beyond their control" variant. Kidnaps a Yakuza Princess and is ambushed by the Awakusu. It's stated outright the only reason they didn't shoot her then and there or torture her to death was her father offered the Awakusu a deal on arms shipments.
  • Tyke-Bomb: After she killed her first man at age 10, her father had Simon train her to become a killing machine.
  • "X" Marks the Hero: She's not a hero, but she's got some sort of cross-like scar on her... well, see for yourself.
  • Unresolved Sexual Tension: She's obviously in love with Shizuo, but she hides her lack of understanding in love by saying that she wants to fight him because that's how she thinks love is.
  • "Well Done, Daughter!" Girl: Subverted. The first time her father showed any sort of outward affection for her was after she killed a burglar that broke into their house. She didn't realize it was because he was relieved that she was unharmed from the attack, so she used it to rationalize and justify her inherent murderous impulses. By the time she figured out the truth, she simply didn't care.
    Vorona: Why do I keep doing this even though I know Father will not praise me? Not because I want to be loved. It's very simple. The happiness. The delight. The pleasure. The bliss. The ecstasy.
  • What Is This Thing You Call "Love"?: Vorona has never loved a single human being, not even herself. The closest thing to 'love' she's ever felt is the love of facing a worthy opponent and then killing them.

    Slon 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/2a76209b98ab207f69dc1c5f6a0095f9.jpg
Voiced by: Satoshi Mikami (Japanese), Richard Epcar (English)

Vorona's longtime partner in crime. He ran away with her to Japan, where they were temporarily hired as mercenaries in Ikebukuro for Izaya and Yadogiri Jinnai. He is an enormous man with tremendous strength, although he isn't very intelligent.


  • The Big Guy: He pretty much towers Vorona.
  • Boisterous Bruiser: Gigantic, brutish and an absolute oaf. Unlike most examples, his boisterous side is more in his quirks outside of combat, like having a meltdown wondering about the purpose of male nipples. When it comes to his work, he's surprisingly competent and professional.
  • Brainwashed and Crazy: He gets brainwashed by Saika under Kasane.
  • Cloud Cuckoo Lander: He has a strange thought process, which leads him to sometimes question mundane things.
  • Constantly Curious: Slon is just full of stupid, irrelevant questions.
  • Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Slon may be an idiot, but when Slon's hired to kill some men among the Yakuza's ranks, the end result is grisly enough that Shizuo nearly vomits at the sight of it — and promptly gets blamed for murders himself.
  • Dumb Muscle: Slon makes for his dimwitted demeanor for his impressive strength.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: Slon doesn't like the idea of targeting innocent bystanders. Especially if it's Anri and Akane.
    Slon: This is sad day. Asking us to torment young girl like this. Is more like job for random thug from street corner.
  • Hidden Depths: He can speak perfectly fluent Japanese, despite his idiocy. Even Vorona is surprised.
  • Husky Russkie: He's nearly comparable to Simon by his large size.
  • Knee-capping: Gets shot in the knees by the Awakusu for his part in kidnapping Akane.
  • Large Ham: His theatrics when he's obsessing over mundane trivia and mysteries know are absolutely excessive. And it's no act- he's just that weird.
  • Meaningful Name: Slon means "elephant" in Russian.
  • The Mole: Possibly for Izaya. According to Mika, he has closer ties to him than he does to Vorona.
  • Morality Pet: To Vorona who seems to care for him to a certain degree.
  • Mundane Made Awesome: "I'm not moving an inch until I've solved the mystery of the male nipples! This is my war!!"
  • No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: As punishment for kidnapping Akane, the Awakusu-kai kneecap him. That's just for starters. The next time we see him, he's heavily bandaged and leaning on crutches, and pulls out his dentures to show his jagged, shattered teeth. He admits he could have gotten a lot worse, all things considered, and overall is surprisingly non-chalant about the whole thing.
  • Nonstandard Character Design: His appearance is noticeably more cartoony than the other characters'.
  • Not Listening to Me, Are You?: "Am I... being ignored?"
  • Odd Couple: With Vorona.
  • Only Known by Their Nickname: He's only known by his codename, while his birth name is unknown.
  • Psycho for Hire: More like a cloudcuckoolander for hire but still.
  • Punch-Clock Villain: He may be a killer, but he isn't particularly sadistic or malicious. He even expresses some genuine shame for some of the shadier aspects of his assignments. He comes across more as a Comedic Sociopath than a true monster, though that's hardly unique for the series.
  • Serious Business: Every. Single. Question. He. Asks.
  • Spell My Name With An S: Slon or Sloan?
  • Unusual Eyebrows: Of the fiery kind.

    Ruri Hijiribe 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/81847_1473.jpg
Voiced by: Saki Fujita (JP), Cristina Valenzuela (EN)

A popular idol singer who lives a double life as the serial killer "Hollywood".


  • Ax-Crazy: As Hollywood, she is known for leaving her victim's bodies in a near unrecognizable state, the only parts that remain untouched are usually the head and the limbs although usually the faces are mutilated as well.
  • Birds of a Feather: With Yuhei. They're both emotionally distant idols who sync together perfectly.
  • But Not Too Foreign: Celty suspects she might have some Nordic blood in her. There's also the fact that she's a Dhampyr, and since Celty says vampires aren't native to Japan...
  • Dark Action Girl: Initially, as she uses her superhuman abilities to carry out a murder spree as Hollywood. Drops the dark later when she helps Celty fight some thugs. And even later, her murder spree turns out to be somewhat justified.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: Ruri's family went bankrupt due to bad investments and many of them killed themselves over it. She became a makeup artist out of her love for monster movies, but eventually became a Magazine Idol, then a singer/actress after she gained enough publicity. However, her boss, Yodogiri Jinnai, began using her for various occult rituals that several of the other employees were a part of. These rituals involved slowly drawing blood from her body. Due to threats against her father's life Ruri endured it, but five years later Ruri learned in an attempt to recover her, they'd already killed him two years prior. Not long after, she ran off and began killing all of those responsible for hurting her, becoming the serial killer Hollywood.
  • Dhampyr: Ruri is part vampire. She possesses vampire strengths and weaknesses in a diluted form.
  • Early-Bird Cameo: In the anime, she shows up briefly in Episode 6, but isn't properly introduced until early in the second season.
  • Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette: She's a Serial Killer and Dhampyr with black hair and pale skin.
  • Even the Girls Want Her: Celty admits that even she occasionally gets distracted by her sometimes.
  • Healing Factor: She has healing abilities that allow her to survive an attack from Shizuo.
  • Hero-Worshipper: She shows admiration towards Celty after being transported back to her apartment. It's enough for her to show up in knight armor to help Celty in a jam.
  • Idol Singer: She's a popular celebrity and idol.
  • Kindhearted Cat Lover: She has a soft spot for Yuhei's pet cat Dokusonmaru.
  • Living a Double Life: Not many know that besides being a famous idol singer, she is actually the serial killer Hollywood.
  • Nightmare Fetishist: Has a fascination with Hollywood movie monsters and the concept of monsterdom. It's what inspires her serial killer MO.
  • Romantic Fake–Real Turn: Her couple act with Yuhei was initially meant to be a temporary ruse, but they develop genuine feelings for each other later on.
  • Serial Killer: She's the dreaded serial killer "Hollywood".
  • Sham Supernatural: Played with. The serial killer Hollywood is well-known for dressing as monsters while out killing, though everyone is well aware Hollywood is just wearing costumes. However, Ruri is really a quarter vampire, making Hollywood a monster posing as a human posing as other monsters.
  • Sugar-and-Ice Personality: Her first episodes depict her as being icy and stoic. Later appearances show her softer side in regards to Yuhei and Dokusonmaru and others.
  • Super-Strength: She has superhuman strength. As Hollywood, she brutally beats her victims to death with her bare hands, and at one point she is seen in her room casually spinning a large dumbbell around on her fingertips.
  • Sympathetic Murderer: For an infamous Serial Killer, Ruri is quite the sympathetic character, especially given the way she comes to deeply care about her boyfriend Yuhei and his cat Dokusonmaru.
  • Weaksauce Weakness: Ruri's only 1/4 vampire, but nonetheless carries the traditional vampire weaknesses of direct sunlight and garlic in a diluted form.
  • Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: The occults rituals her boss subjected her to caused her to become the serial killer Hollywood and go after those responsible for hurting her.

    Chikage Rokujo 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/278446.jpg
Voiced by: Yuki Ono (Japanese), Grant George (English)

Leader of the Toramaru biker gang who comes to Ikebukuro after some members of his gang were allegedly attacked by the Dollars and involved innocents in the crossfire. Also a shameless manwhore, and rarely seen without multiple women hanging off of him.


  • Badass Biker: Leader of a bosozoku gang.
  • Bandaged Face: Has most of his appearances being wrapped in bandages after a somewhat disastrous encounter with Shizuo.
  • Berserk Button: Hurt a girl in any way and he will likely kick you in the nuts.
  • The Casanova: He's always surrounded with girls. Could arrange for a date for eight ladies at once, and none of them seem to mind, as long as they get to play with him.
  • Cavalier Competitor: Very laid-back about fights even in his quest for vengeance.
  • Chick Magnet: He is a self-styled ladies man and usually has an entourage of about 10 or so girls following him around.
  • Chivalrous Pervert: General horniness and complete irreverence for monogamy aside, Chikage is careful to make sure that he (or anyone else, for that matter) doesn't hurt women.
  • Defiant to the End: In his fight against Shizuo.
    Shizuo: Yeah. When I was about to punch him a fifth time he said "Ah, and I have girls willing to tend to me when I'm in the hospital bed. Are you jealous now?" ...Well, something like that. His tooth broke so I wasn't able to hear very well.
  • The Dulcinea Effect: He's chivalrous to any girl he meets, and will try to protect them whenever he cans.
  • Ethical Slut: If anybody plans to hurt a woman, he will take it upon himself to beat the bastard to a pulp.
  • Fearless Fool:
    • His very first order of business upon entering Ikebukuro? Picking a fight with Shizuo, hence the bandages.
    • Later, he jumps off the roof of a 3-5 story parking garage in an attempt to knock Kida out when the latter has him in a choke-hold. Does it again in order to make a quick get-away with an injured Kida.
  • Friendly Enemy: Despite a grudge over injuring some of Chikage's Toramaru pals (which is why he picked a fight in the first place), both Chikage and Shizuo are both tremendously civil about the affair. He even makes it a point of properly challenging Shizuo to a fight as opposed to attacking him from out of nowhere, something the latter respects. Shizuo even dropped him off at Shinra's after handing him his ass.
    Chikage: Hell if that wasn't the most enjoyable fight I've had in years. He was nicer than I expected, too.
    • This even extends to his behavior with Kadota, and visits him when the latter lands in a coma.
  • Graceful Loser: Not at all annoyed at getting the crap beaten out of him by Shizuo. He thought it was kinda fun, actually.
  • Harem Seeker: And a successful one at that.
  • Made of Iron: Not to Shizuo's levels, but Shizuo himself notes that he was shocked that Chikage took 4 of his punches.
    • Survives an estimated 5 story fall during his duel with Kida Masaomi and comes off no worse for wear.
  • Nice Guy: While a bit of a playboy, he has an honorable attitude and is respectful towards women. Just don't get on his bad side.
  • Noble Demon: A ruthless leader of a biker gang, but a reasonable chap who respects women and his enemies.
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Delivers several to Mikado and Masaomi over their conflict. Respectively, he states that Mikado would do well to pursue a normal life (which is what sends him over the edge) while telling Masaomi that if he had returned sooner to Ikebukuro the whole ordeal could have been avoided.
  • Sexy Man, Instant Harem: Is rarely seen without his many girlfriends.
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: His fate is unknown by the end of the series, being the only one who doesn't show in the epilogue. At the very least, he walked out just fine after the dust settled.
  • Wife-Basher Basher: Do not hurt women in Chikage's presence.
  • Wouldn't Hit a Girl: And he does not take kindly to those that do.

    Emilia Kishitani 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/emilia_kishitani.jpg
Voiced by: Atsumi Tanezaki (Japanese), Karen Strassman (English)

A researcher from Nebula, and Shingen's new wife.


  • Funny Foreigner: Her Japanese grammar is atrocious, her cooking is terrible, and her messy appearance makes her look pretty ditzy on the outside.
  • Fun with Foreign Languages: Emilia's grammar is noted to be the worst of all the foreigners in the series, thus far, leading to comically inept and downright strange sentence constructions.
  • Gorgeous Gaijin: She has quite a head of blonde hair and a large set of breasts.
  • Lethal Chef: She gets a -20% rating for her cooking!

    Aoba Kuronuma 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/262353.jpg
Voiced by: Hiro Shimono (Japanese), Kyle McCarley (English)

An unusually young-looking freshman that quickly latches onto Mikado. Also the leader of Blue Square and Mikado's second-in-command.


  • Adaptation Dye-Job: He has black hair in the novels, while the anime gave him blue hair.
  • Adaptational Ugliness: Very downplayed, but he's described as having rather feminine looks in the light novel, while he looks more obviously like a boy in the anime.
  • Adaptational Villainy: His backstory of being abused by his brother was reduced to a brief mention, making his retaliation seem more petty.
  • Animal Motifs: Sharks. Not only is it his favorite animal, but he often refers the Blue Squares as a group of sharks. Doesn't help that the group is forced to wear a shark hat.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Aoba initially appears very cheerful, outgoing, and friendly. However, it is quickly revealed that Aoba is actually very devious, manipulative, and ambitious.
  • Cain and Abel: With his brother Ran Izumi. Although he can act like the "Cain" most of the time, he really is the "Abel" in the relationship.
  • The Chessmaster: Fancies himself this as he wants to use Mikado's Dollars for his personal gain, but he realizes Mikado is far more dangerous than he assumed.
  • Cute and Psycho: He's a boy with childish looks almost to feminine levels, but he's also incredibly manipulative and has a rather disturbing attachment to Mikado's more ruthless side.
  • Creepy Child: From what we see of his childhood, he definitely counts. Just ask his brother...
  • Disproportionate Retribution: Regardless of what Izumii did to him, nearly burning down the house just to get him in trouble seems like a massive overreaction.
  • The Dog Bites Back: In his childhood, he was regularly assaulted by his brother. Eventually something made him snap and burn his brother's room down. He then fakes innocence and throws his brother in jail.
  • The Dragon: Appoints Mikado as the leader of the Blue Squares, where he serves as the gang's Number Two who makes sure the rest of the group obeys Mikado's orders.
  • Dude Looks Like a Lady: Mikado claims that if he were to dress up in a girl's uniform, no one would find out he was a male unless he spoke. Of course, this has to do with his childish looks.
  • Expy: Basically a teenage version of Czeslaw Meyer.
  • Freudian Excuse: His brother constantly beating him as a kid messed him up psychologically that he became the Manipulative Bastard he is today.
  • G.I.R.L.: It's hinted that he is the new "female" member of the chatroom, "Pure Water 100%".
  • Hair Color Dissonance: He has black hair but many people draw him with blue hair instead.
  • In Love with Your Carnage: His interests/opinion in Mikado increase after Mikado stabs him with the pen. It doesn't help that he admitted to Izaya that he was a masochist and that he was looking for his special someone to be his sadist in the relationship.
  • The Man Behind the Man: The real leader of the Blue Squares.
  • Manipulative Bastard: He's described as a younger version of Izaya by Shinra.
  • Oh, Crap!: During the finale, he is met by Mizuki, who proceeds to threaten Aoba from ever trying to play delinquent with Mikado unless he wants to Awakusu to torment him.
  • Older Than He Looks: Aoba's described as looking like a middle (or even elementary) school student.
  • She Is Not My Girlfriend: When members of Blue Squares refer to Mairu and Kururi as such.
  • Ship Tease: The kiss with Izaya's sisters of all people.
  • Smug Snake: There's something about his smile that seems condescending.
  • The Starscream: He's plotting on overthrowing Mikado and taking control of the Dollars.
    • Becoming the Mask: he ultimately abandons this goal once he becomes too attached to Mikado
  • Stepford Smiler: Behind his cheerful smile there's a devious mastermind.
  • Straw Nihilist: Unlike Izaya, he hates humans with a passion. From what his brother did to him, it's kind of given why he hates humans.
  • Surrounded by Idiots: Is generally not impressed by the intelligence of his fellow Blue Square members.
    Neko: It's bad, real bad, Aoba! They got all buddy-buddy after that huge brawl of theirs, and when these weird guys came with some hostages, they got crazy, and then there was this flash of light and then a huge fireball! And then there was this high school girl with huge boobs! I mean, like, really huge! I...
    Aoba: (hangs up) It sure was stupid of me to send Neko there to scope out the situation.
  • Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Aoba has a huge fear of fire. However, this works to his advantage as he's able to frame his brother for arson by using this fear.

    Akane Awakusu 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/akane_awakusu_drrrx2shou_anime_1.jpg
Voiced by: Misaki Kuno (Japanese), Brianna Knickerbocker (English)

The ten-year old daughter of Mikiya and granddaughter of Dogen, who is the current head of the Awakusu-kai. After learning on the Internet that her family is running a criminal organization, she became heartbroken and ran away from home. She soon met Izaya, who tricked her into thinking Shizuo was an enemy, causing her to try and kill him with a modified stun gun. Afterward, when Shizuo rescued her from kidnappers, she realized he wasn't a bad person and befriended him.


  • Alliterative Name: Akane Awakusu.
  • Ambiguous Innocence: The narration implies pretty strongly that Akane didn't really understand what it meant to kill someone when she went after Shizuo (never mind that she had been sent after an innocent man).
  • Creepy Child: A mild example. For the daughter of a Yakuza family, she really is a sweet girl. However, she has no qualms about trying to kill a supposed hitman who is after her family, all with a smile on her face.
  • Damsel in Distress: Is a frequent target of kidnapping due to the gang conflict her family is involved in.
  • Deliberately Cute Child: She used her cute, innocent appearance as a guise to get near Shizuo and zap him with her stun gun.
  • For Happiness: She wanted everyone in her life to be happy. However, after finding out her father is the head of a Yakuza organization, she realize that everyone around her weren't truly happy and the happiness around her was a facade created by her parents.
  • Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: Tiny Girl to Shizuo's Huge Guy. Justified, considering their respective ages.
  • Intergenerational Friendship: With Shizuo and Akabayashi.
  • Is That Cute Kid Yours?: Some street thugs think that she is Vorona's daughter (and that Vorona is Shizuo's girlfriend). While Shizuo does treat Akane like a daughter or a little sister, Vorona barely pays any attention to her at all.
  • Morality Pet: She's one of the few people who can reign Shizuo's temper (because Shizuo doesn't want to scare the kid and tries his best to not show his rage in front of her).
  • Nice Girl: A sweet, kind-hearted girl at heart, she's able to make friends with people easily, including Shizuo.
  • The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: A mild version, but Akane wants to beat Shizuo and is currently attending the same gym as Mairu in order to learn how to fight properly. This is also the reason why she has a rivalry with Vorona.
  • Precocious Crush: She develops a crush on Shizuo, who's twice her age.
  • The Rival: To Vorona. They're both vying over Shizuo for different reasons (i.e. either to kill or defeat him).
  • The Runaway: After discovering her father is in the Yakuza.
  • Shrinking Violet: She's not good with strangers. She'll open up if you're nice enough, though.
  • Technically a Smile: As Shizuo notices just before she tries to kill him.
    He couldn't help but notice the way this kid was smiling. It was innocent alright, but there was also something that reminded one of a kid stomping on ants for fun...
  • Token Mini-Moe: The only prepubescent in the entire cast, consisting of teenagers, adults, and one immortal.
  • Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: The first thing she says to Shizuo is "Die!" and then she tries to electrocute him while smiling sweetly.
  • Unwitting Pawn: Another victim of Izaya's manipulation.
  • Yakuza Princess: The granddaughter of the current head of the infamous Yakuza group Awakusu-kai. She wasn't too happy to discover what her family's "business" was about.
  • Yamato Nadeshiko: Her demure, obedient personality contrasts with the strength of will to defy her Yakuza dad and live on her own. What's more: someone like her attacking someone like Shizuo either has tremendous guts or a death wish and she definitely isn't the latter.

    Mizuki Akabayashi 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/akabayashi008.jpg
Voiced by: Kappei Yamaguchi (Japanese), Matthew Mercer (English)

A high-ranking executive of the Awakusu-kai. Akabayashi is easily recognizable by his gaudy sense of fashion and the large scar running through his right eye. He is known as the Red Demon of the Awakusu and has ties to Anri.


  • Badass Normal: Considered a superb street fighter and was able to knock out Vorona without breaking a sweat. On top of that, he is the only other human being, besides Shizuo, who was able to resist becoming one of Saika's children, and even gouged out his own eye.
  • Broken Ace: A strong, cunning executive with a hatred for drugs and his life forever changed after a meeting with Saika.
  • Cane Fu: Carries around an ornamented cane for this purpose, since he doesn't need it for walking.
  • Cool Old Guy: Described as somewhere in his thirties to forties, but he is still one helluva good fighter.
  • Cool Shades: Is usually seen wearing a pair. Helps that it covers his lost eye.
  • Defector from Decadence: After discovering his former boss was behind the drug-induced insanity of Sayaka's husband, which eventually led to her suicide, Akabayashi abandoned his duties as a bodyguard and let his boss get killed by a hit man. He then joined the Awakusu organization to watch over Anri Sonohara.
  • Everyone Has Standards: Although he's involved with a criminal organization, he's not only chivalrous but hates drug dealing and prostitution.
  • Eye Scream: When Sayaka slashed him in the eye with Saika, he plucked it out before the sword could possess him.
  • Friend to All Children: He is fond of kids, and gets along pretty well with them.
  • Genius Bruiser: He's almost as tall as Aozaki is, but also intelligent and tech-savvy.
  • Glass Eye: After losing his right eye, he replaces it with this.
  • Good Scars, Evil Scars: Has a scar over his right eye.
  • Handicapped Badass: He lost an eye, but is still in top-notch fighting form.
  • Hypocrite: A self-admitted one, too.
  • In Love with Your Carnage: He fell in love with Sayaka, after she had pierced his right eyeball with her katana, because he was impressed by her swordsmanship.
  • Intergenerational Friendship: With Anri, who feels like a younger sister to him. Akane counts as well.
  • Last-Name Basis: Novels only. The official website for Durarara!! x2 has revealed that his first name is 'Mizuki'.
  • Manchild: Subverted. His online handle is Gaki (which means brat), and he sometimes uses "Oi-chan" to talk about himself, but this isn't his true behavior, and it's all part of a disarming act.
  • Meaningful Name: Part of his last name means red, which inspired his Red Baron title.
  • Mistaken for Pedophile: Since he has no wife or girlfriend at his age, and because he is so good with kids, he gets labeled as one, though he denies it.
  • Obfuscating Stupidity: Often acts like he doesn't have a care in the world. Subverted because other members of the Awakusu-kai, like Shiki, distrust him for this very reason, and think he's hiding his true motives behind the facade.
  • Parental Substitute: For Anri, perhaps. After she became an orphan, he helped her sell the antiques in her parent's store to provide for her until she reaches eighteen.
  • Perpetual Smiler: Nearly always seen with a smile on his face, even as he is calmly beating up another man. Overlaps with Cheshire Cat Grin sometimes.
  • Red Baron: Nicknamed Awakusu's Red Demon.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: Akabayashi is usually portrayed with scarlet irises (to match the hair) in fan works. His canon eye color hasn't been confirmed yet.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Red Demon to Aozaki's Blue Demon.
  • Stepford Smiler: It's heavily implied that he's a Type A.
  • Sunglasses at Night: He wears colorful, expensive-looking sunglasses nearly all the time.
  • Took a Level in Kindness: He was a violent man in the past, but after he met the Slasher (who was Anri's mom at the time) and went through a series of experiences, he calmed down and became relatively gentler.
  • Wouldn't Hit a Girl: Played straight when he fought Vorona. While he defeats her effortlessly, he doesn't actually hurt her, which makes her loss even more crushing.
  • Yakuza: Part of the Awakusu-kai.

Voiced by: Kiyoyuki Yanada (Japanese), Lex Lang (English)

Another executive of the Awakusu-kai, he is known as the Blue Demon of the organization. Not much else is known about him, except that he has a rivalry with Akabayashi and is really big.


  • Badass in a Nice Suit: The suit he wears is apparently tailored to his height, and makes him look even more formidable.
  • Bad Liar: Denies tipping Akabayashi off about the plot against his life, even though Aozaki was the only other person who knew about it in the first place (the first being Dogen Awakusu). Naturally, he doesn't fool anybody.
    Dogen: I mean, I think somebody told him he was being targeted. If not, I don't think he would have been able to plan ahead so well.
    Dogen: Ahh. I didn't think you were that good at jokes, Aozaki.
  • The Brute: Aozaki is described as quite tall at 190cm, and looks pretty intimidating thanks to his broad shoulders and immense build. Naturally, this gives him an advantage while fighting.
  • Buffy Speak: Occasionally lapses into this.
  • Good Scars, Evil Scars: Has a large scar across his left eye.
  • Karma Houdini: Suffers no real repercussions for his villainous actions during the final arc— Most notably, his attempt to bury Mikado and turn the Dollars into a source of revenue for the Awakusu-kai.
  • Last-Name Basis: Novels only. The official website for Durarara!! x2 has revealed that his first name is 'Shu'.
  • Meaningful Name: Part of his last name means blue, which inspired his Red Baron title.
  • New Media Are Evil: Has a low opinion on new technology in general, unlike tech-savvy Akabayashi, meaning he makes no effort to keep himself updated.
  • The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: Has shades of this towards Akabayashi (though he denies it).
  • Red Baron: Nicknamed Awakusu's Blue Demon.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Blue Demon to Akabayashi's Red Demon.
  • The Rival: Dislikes Akayabashi, and holds a longstanding rivalry with him.
  • Temporal Theme Naming: His first name contains the character for 'winter,' while Shiki note  and Akabayashi's names allude to 'spring' and 'autumn' respectively.
  • Undying Loyalty: Towards Dogen Awakusu.
  • Would Hit a Girl: According to Kine.
  • Would Hurt a Child: Specifically, Mikado.
  • Yakuza: Part of the Awakusu.

After Facial Reconstruction

Voiced by: Toshiyuki Morikawa (Japanese), Lex Lang (English)

"The Philosophical Killing Machine" and the 7th most feared assassin in Russia. He was hired by Shingen to capture the serial killer known as Hollywood. Ends up badly beaten by Shizuo after he uses his suitcase as one of his improvised weapons, necessitating facial reconstruction. He afterwards serves as one of Shingen's affiliates for the remainder of the series.


  • Always Someone Better: He may be a badass and a dangerous assassin but he still is outclassed by Shizuo.
  • Bandaged Face: He was punched by Shizuo so hard that he had to undergone some facial surgery.
  • Big Damn Heroes:
    • Thanks to the influence of Anri's Saika, he saves Celty from traffic cops.
    • Pulls one again with Shingen and Eijiro to save Namie after she's kidnapped.
  • Empowered Badass Normal: Managed to overcome Saika and gained a boost of strength from it.
  • Hot Blooded Sideburns: They nicely add to his retro look.
  • Improvised Weapon: He is known to never bring his own killing weapon. He uses whatever he can find from rolling pins, ice cubes, and suitcases to a bank note.
  • I Owe You My Life: He feels this way towards Orihara Twins who helped him when he was badly injured after his fight with Shizuo.
  • Mugging the Monster: Taking anything from Shizuo is never a good idea.
  • Nonstandard Character Design: He looks noticeably more retro than the rest of the cast. Subverted after he receives facial reconstruction, making him appear more traditionally drawn.
  • Not So Above It All: Whenever he hangs around with Shingen and Eijiro, he seemingly drops all his stoicism and joins in their rather goofy movements.
  • Professional Killer: With over eighty lives on his record.

Voiced by: Shinpachi Shuji (Japanese), Beau Billingslea (English)

The leader of the weapon dealing organization that Vorona and Slon used to be part of. Gets along well with Drakon, Vorona's father, despite suffering frequent insults of his intelligence.


  • Brains and Brawn: The brawn to Drakon's brains.
  • Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: When first shown, his hands are stuck inside jars, due to holding onto the pistols inside. He seems utterly baffled as to how to get them out. But when the previously mentioned illegal immigrants rudely interrupt his conversation with Drakon, he apparently beats them to death with his feet and jarred hands (in the anime, he simply shoots him, breaking the jar; the enemies here are also changed to rival gangsters instead of illegal immigrants).
  • Dumb Muscle: See above. He only gets the jars off when an enemy that was pretending to be dead attacks him, and he fires the pistol in the jar on instinct, killing the immigrant and breaking the jar. He was about to shoot the jar off his other hand before Drakon pointed out the detail that his hand was still in it.
  • The Mafiya: He's part of a Russian arms organization.

Voiced by: Nobuo Tobita (original), Shunsuke Sakuya (current) (Japanese), Simon Prescott (original), Liam O'Brien (current) (English)

The former head of Yodogiri Shining Corporation. Not much is known about him.


  • Big Bad: He is responsible, amongst other things, for the incident with Hijiribe Ruri and Izaya's stabbing. However subverted as it's revealed that he was dead all along and that Kasane is the real Big Bad.
  • Dead All Along: The original Jinnai Yodogiri , at least.
  • Diabolical Mastermind: Implied.
  • Evil Old Folks
  • Eviler than Thou: If Shingen is to be believed, Yodogiri is even worse than Izaya.
  • Faux Affably Evil: During his telephone talk with Izaya he remained remarkably polite. Only to stab him a second later.
  • Greater-Scope Villain: Possibly.
  • Knowledge Broker: He was the one who gave the information about Dullahans to Shingen.
  • Manipulative Bastard: Pretty much goes on par with Izaya, up to the point where Izaya once admits he underestimated him after he was stabbed by him.
  • Master of Disguise: There are many Yodogirl doubles that will take his place when necessary.
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: He gave one to Izaya right after stabbing him with a knife.
    Jinnai Yodogiri: Honestly, you need to stop that. A kid needs to learn to play only in his little garden... in Ikebukuro. Because If he runs outside, you never know when he might get hurt!
  • Villainous Legacy: There's a lot of "Yodogiri Jinnai"s in the company. If one dies, then another would step up to replace him.

    Kasane Kujiragi 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kasane_1.png
Voiced by: Houko Kuwashima (Japanese), Wendee Lee (English)

A calm and quiet woman who works as Yodogiri Jinnai's secretary.


  • Alliterative Name: Kasane Kujiragi.
  • Animal-Eared Headband: Buys these for herself.
  • Big Bad: Turns out she is this in season 2 onward and that she is impersonating Jinnai.
  • Big Damn Heroes: Saves Ruri from being killed by her stalker in atonement for her actions.
  • Bunny-Ears Lawyer: She's extremely competent at her job, able to capture Celty after she goes into berserk mode, and can alter the shape of Saika to suit her needs, yet is also overly fond of cats and buys out all the cat ears in a store.
  • Card-Carrying Villain: Played with as she has some villainous actions but generally responds to any thanks from helping others with "because I'm a villain". She also accepts that someday, she as a villain will be killed by someone seeking justice and is prolonging it as long as she can.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: She was sold to the original Jinnai Yodogiri by Ruri's grandmother and groomed by him to run his business. After he died, she continued to run his business in his place using stand ins because she had nothing else.
  • Dhampyr: She's the daughter of Ruri's grandmother, making her this.
  • Driven by Envy: She was envious of Ruri due to them being relatives yet Ruri is able to obtain happiness. But, this doesn't mean she hates her.
    • She also feels this way about Celty, envying that a "monster" found love and friends when she didn't. She even tried to steal Shinra for herself, though relented later on.
  • The Dragon: Hired by Seitarou Yagiri to capture the many monsters from Ikebukuro.
  • Dragon-in-Chief: Even though she is only following the orders of the actual big bad of Celty's story arc, Seitarou Yagiri, she is way more dangerous, powerful, and threatening than him.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: While she is fine with Izaya having all the Jinnai Yodogiri replacements killed and attempts to traffick Celty herself, Kujiragi is vexed when she witnesses Haruna attack Anri, her 'mother', and punishes her via electrocution for her 'immoral' behavior.
  • Hidden Depths: Kujiragi is a cold, calculating Big Bad who thoroughly enjoys cosplay and likes cats.
  • Hive Mind: Used a shard of Saika to forge her own blade, and was the original owner of Saika for years, most likely since she was as young as Anri was when she first acquired it.
  • I Just Want to Be Free: Her desire all along was this, and she feels that Izaya has finally granted her her freedom. So much so she goes out and buys herself cat ears, and then ponders whether or not to go to a cat cafe or butler cafe with her freedom.
  • Insult Backfire: Combined with Comically Missing the Point, when Haruna angrily refers to her as a 'thieving cat' for trying to purchase Saika from Anri, Kujiragi's love of cats prevents her from taking it as an insult.
    Kujiragi:"A thieving cat"... I like it.
  • Know When to Fold 'Em: Despite being one of the most powerful characters in the series, when Shizuo shows up she abandons all her plots and walks away without a second glance.
  • Legacy Character: Her role as Jinnai Yodogiri was inherited from the original one.
  • Long-Lost Relative: Is actually Ruri's aunt.
  • The Man Behind the Man: The one responsible for the incident with Ruri, and was also the one who sold Saika to Shingen.
  • Master of Threads: Her fragment of Saika takes the form of multiple steel wires that come out of her body and she uses these to entangle her targets.
  • Not in My Contract: Seitarou tries to get her to protect him from Shizuo. She says she wasn't hired to die for him.
  • "Not So Different" Remark: From Izaya.
    Shinichi: If we were to call Orihara Izaya "evil by nature", Kujiragi would be a "miscreant created by people".
  • Odd Friendship: With Erika. The two enjoy cosplaying together and Erika even helped Kujiragi come up with her cosplay name, School Girl Cat.
  • Older Than She Looks: Is probably in her 30s, but doesn't look much older than Namie. This is due to her Dhampyr nature.
  • Parental Abandonment: Was sold to Jinnai Yodogiri by Ruri's grandmother.
  • Perpetual Frowner: Even when she is happy, she still has that frown on her face.
  • Sexy Secretary: Acts as this to Jinnai Yodogiri.
  • The Stoic: Never shows any emotion.
  • Stoic Spectacles: Wears these while being quiet most of the time.
  • Verbal Tic: Adds '-nyan' to the end of all her sentences when posing as Kanra, simply to invoke this trope.
  • Walking Spoiler: Her true nature reveals a hell of a conspiracy.
  • Weaksauce Weakness: As a dhampir, she has the traditional vampire weaknesses of direct sunlight and garlic.

Ruri Hijiribe's stalker.


  • Ax-Crazy: Demonstrates his twisted love for Ruri Hijiribe by trying to shatter and kill her. He even tries to kill Mikado because he has a similar build to Ruri.
  • Bare-Fisted Monk: He trains at an MMA gym, seemingly for the sole purpose of abducting Ruri. That said, he is not particularly powerful by ''Durarara!!'' standards.
  • Covered with Scars: Both his arms are covered with scars.
  • Hate Sink: He literally has nothing redeemable about him. His obsession with Ruri leads him to stalk her and anyone she's come into contact with, and even brutally beats Shinra to within an inch of his life, and target people completely uninvolved with her, just because it would make Ruri sad. He's last seen trying to run Ruri over, only to be knocked out and taken to the police by Kasane.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: Has his back lit on fire by Mikado, then he's wounded and brought to Izaya by Ran Izumii. Later on, after trying to run down Ruri, he is apprehended and beaten by Kasane Kujiragi and taken to the police.
  • Sadist: To get at Ruri, Kisuke targeted those who were connected to her (even by the slightest bit). He mercilessly beats Shinra to near death, then he targets Anri, but decides to chase down Yuigadokusonmaru (Kasuka's cat) instead. Soon after, he tries to kill Masaomi, who didn't even know Ruri, because it would make Ruri sadder knowing a stranger died because of her.
  • Stalker with a Crush: Becomes obsessed with Ruri after witnessing her murder his father. He collects countless pictures of her and tries to kill her in order to really love her.
  • Would Hit a Girl: Kicks down Anri and tries to run over Ruri with a truck.
  • You Killed My Father: Strongly subverted. Jinnai Yodogiri assumed he wanted revenge on Ruri for murdering his father, but Kisuke admitted he couldn't care less about his father being dead and was even a bit jealous Ruri was the one who killed him.

    Seitarou Yagiri 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/seitarou_yagiri.png
Voiced by: Chafurin (Japanese), Tony Oliver (English)

The head of the Yagiri Pharmaceuticals, and Seiji and Namie's uncle and caretaker. He got Celty's head from Shingen and felt in love with it. Nebula decide to own his company to get the head but Namie had already taken her to Izaya. For this reason, Seitarou made contact with Jinnai Yodogiri in order to get the head before Nebula, thus kickstarting the events from the second season.


  • Bad Boss: Head of the infamous Yagiri Pharmaceuticals.
  • Cain and Abel: Is the Cain to Seiji and Namie's father Abel. Is implied Seitarou made him fail in the Pharmaceuticals business on purpose to gain power and use his niece and nephew as pawns for his company.
  • Chekhov's Gunman: Was introduced at the very beginning of the series as part of Seiji and Namie's backstory. His official introduction is in the second season as one of the new big bad.
  • Corrupt Corporate Executive: Even though he wanted the head for himself and not in Nebula's hands, the reasons for wanting Ruri, Saika and Celty's body were only "just for business".
  • Evil Uncle: Had no problem in threatening his niece about torturing his nephew, just to get information of the head.
  • Face Doodling: Recives an "I love the head" courtesy of Shingen.
  • Freak Out: Ended up in catatonic state due to seeing Celty's true form
  • Friendly Rivalry: With Shingen, even their respective companies are rivals.
  • Hoist by His Own Petard: Making his niece and nephew work for him turned out to be a bad idea, since both of them were the cause that he ended up losing his precious Dullahans' head in the first place.
  • A Love to Dismember: Just like his nephew.
  • Non-Action Big Bad: Relied mostly of the dirty work on his subordinates and Kujiragi Kasane.
  • Small Role, Big Impact: He is introduced in Ten, halfway through the second season, however many of the conflics involving Yodogiri Jinnai in shou were caused because of his decision to contact him. The reasons for hiring the Awakusu to kill Ruri and kidnapping Akane were in order to weaken them; Kujiragi later revealed that the Awakusu are the main problem for her if she wanted to continue her job for Seitarou without being interrupted.
  • Second-Hand Storytelling: Even though the constant Gambit Pileup between Seitarou and Shingen is never explicit shown, we have been seeing the consequences of it throughout the entire series; the most evidently example is that both of them are the main cause that every single monster is causing troubles in Ikebukuro.
  • Smug Snake: He thinks he's a lot more dangerous than he is. He hires Yodogiri Jinnai to retrieve the various monsters of Ikebukuro, only to underestimate how dangerous they are. He is completely blindsided by Shizuo, is left to die by Kasane, and only survives by sheer luck.

  • Chekhov's Gunman: She appears in the first novel then she reappears in the seventh with the intention of murdering Izaya in the hospital and then setting things into motion with Celty's head.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: She was intending to kill Izaya. Too bad that she merely restored his faith in humankind. She then settles for stealing Celty's head, setting off the events of the final arc.
  • Pet the Dog:
    • She helps Shinra get around after his injury and kidnapping.
    • She even ends up helping Izaya get into the car to drive him off, rather than letting him die in the end.
  • Revenge: Her goal against Izaya. She eventually lets it go.
  • Satellite Character: To Izaya. Her involvements to the story are connected with him as the only desire she has is to make him suffer. This is even lampshaded by she herself whe she claimed that, apart from make Izaya's life misserable, she doesn't have any other intention to live.
  • Small Role, Big Impact: She's ultimately just a girl who Izaya screwed with. So she steals Celty's head and then tosses it where everyone can see it, causing the final arc to go full swing.

The second in command of the Heaven's Slave drug cartel. In Durarara!! SH, he's joined up with Earthworm.


  • Arc Villain: Of the first two SH novels as he formed the cult of the Headless Rider and distributed the brainwashing drugs.
  • Ascended Extra: He becomes a major supporting character in the sequel series. He explicitly states in SH volume 4 that his intention is to rise beyond his position of extra that he had held in the original series and cause some great upheaval in Ikebukuro.
  • Bandaged Face: Sports this appearance in SH and is the first thing everyone notices when they see him.
  • Blatant Lies: After being informed that the person Earthworm had been torturing was Kumoi, the leader of his group, he realized that his secret of himself being the actual leader of Heaven Slave would be known by his subordinates he claimed he would cut the knot that was tying the captive while aiming his stomach... Izaya, who was the person who was actually captured, saw his real intentions and stopped him
  • The Dragon: He is the second in charge of the drug dealing business while Kumoi is the leader. It is later revealed that Kumoi had stopped being the leader and Shijima kept acting as if nothing happened in order to controlling his subordinates and to not hold any responsibility if something wrong happened to the organization.
  • Luminescent Blush: Even with a heavily bandaged face, merely bringing up Earthworm's clothing can invoke a blush that can be seen through them.
  • Number Two: He planned to make his group Heaven Slave a shadows of the Dollars so they can go unnoticed.
  • Small Role, Big Impact: He and Earthworm got introduced and defeated by Izaya in the same volume with no further consequences; however after that, while the latter is only used by Izaya in his schemes against Shizuo, Shijima got a larger role in the story after being hired by Yodogiri Jinnai to infiltrate in the Dollars, this resulted in Shijima giving a gun glove to Mikado which he finally used to shoot Masaomi and his attempted suicide.
  • Spoiled Brat: As soon as he lost against Izaya, and after messing with the Awakusu, he decided to ask his grandfather for help, who is an important politian. Nevertheless, while his grandfather agreed to deal with the Awakusu, in return, Shijima had to work with Yodogiri.
  • Villain Team-Up: Invoked and later subverted. He acknowledged that his group is not powerful enough so he attempted to ally himself with Amphisbaena. His plan failed in the end because of Izaya, who defeated both groups. They finally team up in SH once Izaya left Ikebukuro.
