OVA
Description
Walker Yumasaki, a core member of the Dollars within Kyouhei Kadota's group, frequently appears alongside Erika Karisawa, Saburo Togusa, and Kadota himself. Half-Japanese with light-colored hair reflecting his heritage, his typical attire consists of sweatshirts, jeans, sneakers, and a backpack laden with manga. He often displays a wide, closed-eye smile associated with sly or mischievous characters.
Originally infamous as the "Otaku Hunting Killer," he committed arson targeting extortionists posing as the Blue Squares gang in Akihabara. During an ambush by these imposters, he met Erika Karisawa; together they defeated their attackers. This encounter led them to Kyouhei Kadota and Saburo Togusa, forging their enduring group bond. Walker later joined the actual Blue Squares but maintained primary loyalty to Kadota. He betrayed the Blue Squares by setting fire to members to rescue Saki Mikajima, an act earning Masaomi Kida's debt.
A passionate otaku deeply immersed in anime, manga, light novels, and games, Walker frequently discusses fictional worlds in ways only Erika fully comprehends, blurring his perception of reality and fiction. Despite a carefree demeanor, he is a serious thinker who acts decisively for causes he values. His arsonist past resurfaces in a unique torture method: victims select a manga or light novel, and he painfully reenacts its contents. While still unflinching toward violence, Kadota's influence tempers his actions.
In the *Dollars and Blue Squares Arc*, he helps protect kidnapped girls, using a makeshift flamethrower (spray can and lighter) against assailants. He later voices annoyance at Erika's tendency to pair male characters romantically regardless of context. During *Kadota's Coma Arc*, he investigates Kadota's hit-and-run, confronting the Yellow Scarves. He carried kerosene, intending to burn them if involved, though Masaomi vouched for their innocence.
In the *Final Curtain Arc*, he aids in rescuing Erika from slashers. He shows fleeting interest in wielding Anri Sonohara's demon sword Saika but rejects it upon learning it forces the wielder to "love humanity." He later helps repel Izumii and other delinquents. During the *Dragon Zombie Arc*, he expresses loneliness without Erika, highlighting her role as his primary conversational partner about manga.
In *Durarara!! SH*, he and Erika commission Snake Hands to apprehend a criminal impersonating a character from a series they admire, motivated by Walker's past friendship with one of the series' creators. His broader connections include an appearance in the crossover "Duramp!" (within the Naritaverse), encountering a succubus in Ikebukuro.
He dislikes censorship of expression and displays pragmatic views on food, stating he "can’t afford to be picky" if he aims to enter the "2D world." His surname means "play," "horse," and "cape/peninsula." The *×2 Shō Gaiden!?* OVA, focusing on a hotpot gathering, does not feature specific developments for him.
