Durarara!! Wiki

Yoshimune Miyoshi (三好 吉宗, Miyoshi Yoshimune) is the main character in the Durarara!! 3way standoff game and manga. He moves to Ikebukuro at the start of the game and is often called Yoshi-Yoshi by his friends and other characters.

His chat room handle, Eight, and his Dollars handle, Hachidaime (lit. Eighth Successor), are nicknames carried over from his former school because his first name, Yoshimune, is shared with the eighth shogun of Japan's Tokugawa Shogunate, Tokugawa Yoshimune. He also shares the shogun's birthday.
