DURARARA!! WROLD

[Mikado Ryuugamine : Mikado Ryuugamine (竜ヶ峰帝人, Ryuugamine Mikado) is a high school student who moves to Ikebukuro at the start of the series at the invitation of his childhood friend Masaomi Kida.

Appearance : Mikado's physical appearance is one that does not stand out from a crowd. He has short black hair, grayish-blue eyes, a rather soft expression, and a small demeanor. Aside from his Raira Academy uniform, his casual attire usually consists of a green and white jacket and jeans.

Personality : Initially, Mikado is portrayed as a polite, soft-spoken boy, who at times can be quite childish and naive. This is likely a result of his small town upbringing; as he moves to Ikebukuro he was amazed and overwhelmed by the sheer size and energy of the city, and thus he felt small and insignificant. He was bored of the average life he had previously led, and moved to Tokyo in search of adventure and revels in all the supernatural events that transpire around him despite the obvious danger. This desire for the unknown also causes Mikado to show utter disgust toward people he finds either boring (like Hiroshi) or hypocritical (like Namie). Despite his timid personality, he is shown to have a fairly strong will, and he does have moments where he openly expresses his opinion such as when he tells Anri she should be proud of trying to surpass Mika Harima. Mikado also has a strong moral center and actively speaks out against those who commit crimes or hurt others, even if it, more often than not, proves fruitless.]

[Anri Sonohara : Anri Sonohara (園原 杏里, Sonohara Anri) is a bespectacled girl who attends Raira Academy with her close friends Mikado Ryuugamine and Masaomi Kida. Even though she is quiet and timid and possesses a tendency to seclude herself from others, she is intelligent, clever, and resourceful.

Appearance : Anri is a petite teen girl with a small stature, large breasts, bobbed black hair, fair skin, and circular, silver-rimmed glasses. She is usually seen wearing her Raira Academy uniform and a red bowtie. Starting in the second season, she is seen wearing a black hooded dress over a pink shirt with red sneakers.

Personality : Initially, Anri is very introverted and quiet, rarely speaking to anyone for any extended period of time. She is shown to be rather submissive, even when being harassed, and has stated herself that she prefers to view the world as if it were within a picture frame, with her outside looking in. This timid demeanor stems primarily from the trauma she received when her parents died. As the series progresses, she retains her shy personality, although her interactions with Mikado Ryuugamine and Masaomi Kida begin to pull her out of her emotional shell, and she becomes much more expressive. Although she believes that the emotional distance she has put between herself and others prevents her from loving others, she is caring and compassionate toward those close to her. Though Anri tends to let threats and harassment slide, there are moments where she lashes out at others, such as when Izaya Orihara taunts her about Saika in Episode 24 or when someone threatens her friends.]

[Masaomi Kida : Masaomi Kida (紀田 正臣, Kida Masaomi) is Mikado Ryuugamine's best friend from childhood. He encourages Mikado to come to Ikebukuro to attend Raira Academy. Masaomi is enthusiastic about picking up girls despite repeated failures and acts as the comedic foil to Mikado and Anri Sonohara in the early portions of the series.

Appearance : Masaomi is a boy of average height with brown eyes and dyed light brown hair. His usual attire consists of a white pullover hoodie, black jeans, a pocket chain, a silver bracelet, ring, and earrings, and black sneakers. Throughout the anime, he is often seen wearing the Raira uniform jacket over his hoodie and paired with brown sneakers, though the novels note that like most students, he does not wear his school uniform. During his time in the Yellow Scarves, he wore a black jacket with a white shirt along with his gang's titular accessory, a yellow handkerchief tied around his neck.

Personality : Masaomi has a very friendly, enthusiastic, charismatic and outgoing personality, and is almost always seen fooling around, smiling, making bad jokes, teasing his friends, and hitting on girls. He is shown to care deeply for his friends, having to act as a sort of big brother for Mikado as he adjusts to life in the big city and going to great lengths to protect those who are close to him. When Mikado first sees Masaomi in Ikebukuro, after years of separation, Masaomi's bubbly personality and bad jokes are what convince him that the man greeting him is indeed Masaomi Kida. As the series progresses, it is revealed that Masaomi's enthusiastic, happy-go-lucky demeanor is actually a mask of his true, much less secure self. He appears to agonize over major choices much more than any other character in the series, although he falls short of being paralyzed by his fears, still being able to make important decisions when necessary. He also demonstrates a feeling of responsibility for those close to him, taking attacks on his friends very personally.]

[Shizuo Heiwajima : Shizuo Heiwajima (平和島 静雄, Heiwajima Shizuo) is renowned as the strongest man in Ikebukuro. He works as Tom Tanaka's bodyguard and is friends with Celty Sturluson and Shinra Kishitani. Despite quitting the Dollars, he is still regarded as one of its most important members.

Appearance : Shizuo is a tall young man often seen wearing his trademark bartender suit and expensive-looking blue sunglasses. He has natural brown hair but dyes it blond. Shizuo is noted by several characters to resemble his little brother Kasuka Heiwajima. Shizuo is often described as gentle-looking and slender, resulting in people not believing the rumors of his inhuman strength.Narita, Ryuhgo (author). (2005). Durarara!! Vol. 2: Saika Arc. Yen Press. Furthermore, he looks like a person who is "well-behaved to his core" and is said to have soft eyes.

Personality : Shizuo is introduced to the viewers in the first few episodes as a violent, no-nonsense tough guy, on equal footing with dangerous characters, such as Izaya Orihara and Simon Brezhnev. However, it is implied that most of the time, he is quiet and nondescript, simply following Tom around as his bodyguard. Shizuo apparently does not really like violence and has misgivings about his own strength; unfortunately, he has a very short temper and when angered, his body "acts on its own" and he fights with incredible strength. This restive nature is why Masaomi Kida warns Mikado Ryuugamine to stay away from him, along with Izaya and the Dollars, telling him to 'not hesitate to run from him' in the manga. Despite the fact that Shizuo used his power very often, he was (and to some extent remains) worried about it.]

[Celty Sturluson : Celty Sturluson (セルティ ストゥルルソン, Celty Sturluson), also known as The Black Rider or The Headless Rider, is an Irish fairy called a Dullahan who came to Japan looking for her stolen head. She lives with Shinra Kishitani and works as an underground transporter,

Appearance : Celty is a slim, tall woman who can be easily mistaken for a man. She has pale white skin, and her head is shown to have brown hair and blue eyes. In her early years, it is shown that Celty wore knight's armor as she traveled the country side with her head resting on her lap. When she immigrated to Japan, she updates her attire to match the times. For most of the series, Celty is shown to wear an all black biker jumpsuit with black gloves and shoes. With the exception of pajamas and slippers shown in the anime, all of her clothing is made from a shadow-like substance that materializes around her at her will. She also wears a yellow and blue helmet that vaguely resembles the shape of a cat's head.

Personality : Celty's personality is, ironically, one of the most normal and down-to-earth compared to most of the other characters. Although she was fairly emotionless in her early life, she has since developed a much more defined personality as she has spent more time with humans. She is generally a confident and optimistic individual, although she is not without her insecurities. Chief among these are her concerns about how people will react to her monstrous nature. In the start of the series, Celty tends to avoid most people as they usually react negatively upon realizing she has no head. However, she has recently begun opening up more to people as she encounters others who are not only accepting of the paranormal (such as with Shizuo Heiwajima or Anri Sonohara) but seem to revel in it (such as Mikado Ryuugamine or Izaya Orihara).]

[Izaya Orihara : Izaya Orihara (折原 臨也, Orihara Izaya) is a skilled and powerful underground information broker who claims to love the entire human race except for Shizuo Heiwajima.

Appearance : Izaya is a slim young man, repeatedly described by other characters as "fragile looking". His face is often said to be beautiful, soft, and gentle, but with a bold, intrepid edge — "a perfect materialization of some ideal of handsomeness." The look in Izaya's eyes is said to be warm and all-accepting, but at the same time, arrogant and disdainful. In the anime, Izaya has brown eyes; however, in the light novel illustrations as well as in his spin-off series and his official driver's license, his eyes are bright red.

Personality : Izaya claims to love humanity, although his definition of "love" is much different than one would assume. Izaya loves the unpredictability of human nature and enjoys putting people in chaotic situations to observe their reactions. The nature of Izaya's supposed endearment with humans is very superficial: he is prone to underestimating other people and is quick to forget everything about the person as soon as he is done messing with them.]

The story takes place in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, and features a large cast of main characters, including a modern-day Dullahan, an anonymous internet-based gang called the Dollars, color gangs like the Yellow Scarves and Blue Squares, a demon sword known as Saika, information brokers, debt collectors, movie stars, high school students, yakuza, and many other colorful characters. As the Dullahan searches for her missing head, different sides converge and conflict escalates. The story follows the main characters equally as they affect and are affected by the events in the city around them.
