Kida Masaomi 紀田正臣 (CV: Miyano Mamoru 宮野真守)
Info from wiki (Beware of SPOILERS!): A resident of Ikebukuro and Mikado Ryugamine’s best friend from childhood. He was the one who encouraged Mikado to come to Ikebukuro. He is enthusiastic about picking-up girls, but he seems to fail at it. He was depressed and lonely before Mikado arrived because his girlfriend was kidnapped and injured during a gang war between the Blue Squares and Yellow Scarves, which he led at the time. After Anri is injured during the Slasher incidents and the rising presence of the Dollars, he is forced to become the leader of the Yellow Scarves once more. He despises Orihara Izaya for manipulating him when he first formed the Yellow Scarves, but returns to him again for information about the leader of the Dollars and discovers it is Mikado. He leaves Ikebukuro with his ex-girlfriend, Saki Mikajima, during the conflict between the 3 main forces in Ikebukuro. Masaomi has commented on not letting Mikado “go to the dark side”, claiming that he has already gone through it. His online chat screenname is “Bakyura” (バキュラ)
Title: Durarara!! Trading Voice Mascot
「デュラララ！！」 トレーディング音声入りマスコット 6個セット (フィギュア)
Price: 4,200 yen (Box of 6 figures)
Available: November 2010
The mischievous facial expression on the figure captures Kida’s playfulness very well.
Front view and base.
The figure stands at about 6 cm tall. The base is about 1 cm. The figure cannot stand on its own because of the two little “protrusions” under his feet. The two holes on the base are where you insert the figure. You press the button on the left to play his voice. Kida’s seiyuu is Miyano Mamoru 宮野真守.
Back view of the figure and his base. Little on/off switch on the bottom left. Batteries included.
Front and back view. Very cute face!
Side views. Very good quality ^^
Nice little crease detail on the back of his school blazer :) And check out that cute little butt.
Angle views. One of my favourite poses. Simple looking yet dynamic.
This is the small scenery card for Kida.
Two lines from the anime:
「1! 紀田正臣2! 紀田正臣3! 紀田正臣」 “One! Kida Masaomi. Two! Kida Masaomi. Three! Kida Masaomi.” and
「俺は逃げたんだ。足が竦んで動けなかった・・・」 “I ran away. I froze and couldn’t move my feet…”

@ponytale – i’m hoping that some other company will pick it up too, i mean, it’s the last CD….
the novels are a last resort, but i don’t read japanese, which is a problem. my plan is just to buy them and then have them translated somehow….*sigh*
@iced_wine: We can only hope. :-\
Slaver’s ending wasn’t dramatised, so in the end I also bought the novels for that.
@ponytale – yeah, i recently got into the corsair drama series that’s licensed by cyberphase, and they are on their last CD of the series when they went out of business. so now there’s no ending, and it’s driving me absolutely insane!!
@iced_wine: ah~ Corsair! :-\ I wasn’t following this series but hopefully it’ll be completed somehow. There’s still the novel as the last resort OTL;;
hmm…glad to see a figure set from DRRRR, i’m a huge fan of shizuo :D
on a random note, do you anything about a BL drama company called cyberphase that apparently went out of business recently?
@iced_wine: ^^ Shizuo’s figure review will be coming out soon! They’re releasing a new set in May 2011 but I’m still considering. This set is a lot more attractive to me because of the voice feature. They really must give us proper scaled figures of Shizaya. These chibis are great but not good enough :3
Yeah :( I read about it. I missed out a few BLCDs that I wanted to get. I hope I can still find them at a reasonable price on auctions or stores.
