Series Synopsis

In the bustling city of Ikebukuro, Mikado Ryugamine (voiced by Toshiyuki Toyonaga) hopes to add excitement to his life.

Mikado meets up with his longtime friend Masaomi Kida (voiced by Mamoru Miyano). The two have not seen each other for years and they are happy to finally have the chance to catch up.

Masaomi takes Mikado on a tour of the town. Along the way, the pair run into several of Masamoi's acquaintances. Everyone is quick to make the newbie feel welcomed. But Masaomi warns of three things that must be avoided.

The first is the mysterious organization known as The Dollars. No one is sure what this group is. But there have been several incidents, some illegal and destructive, associated with The Dollars. Whether any of those rumors are true is anyone’s guess.

The second is Shizuo Heiwajima (voiced by Daisuke Ono). Shizuo is usually calm and collected. That is until you set him off. Quick to anger, Shizuo is able to tap into an endless supply of strength. Considered Ikebukuro strongest, his main weapons are road signs and vending machines. And he's durable. Shizuo can withstand stab wounds, gunshots, and high-speed collisions with cargo trucks.
