Bad-ass Dude.
Episode Description:
Shizuo walks around the district with Tom Tanaka, a debt collector and Shizuo's friend. Shizuo explains that ever since childhood, he has been unable to control his anger. Shinra is revealed to have been one of his classmates, as well as Izaya, whom he first met when they were students at Raira Academy. After graduating, Shizuo goes through a number of jobs, each of which ends with him getting fired over losing his temper. He later settles as a bartender, and Kasuka Heiwajima, aliased Yūhei Hanejima, Shizuo's younger brother and an actor, buys him a set of bartender uniforms, hoping this job lasts. Izaya, however, ruins this job for him. He later encounters Tom, who hires him as the muscle for his debt collection agency.
