Izaya Orihara

Izaya Orihara is one of the major characters featured in the Durarara!! light novel series authored by Ryōgo Narita. He is the most popular character in the series because of his attractive looks, charismatic personality, and superhuman agility.

Izaya is one of the few antagonists to have performed well in the wiki's recognized major saimoe tournaments, having reached the Elite Eight of r/anime's Best Guy in 2016, and also in the Chinese Bilibili Moe contest on the same year. The knife-wielding broker was a regular in the International Saimoe League, but as time went by and the novel series finished, Izaya's performance declined as well, culminating in a disappearing act from 2019 onwards.
