<p>This is actually just <strong>HEIWAJIMA Shizuo</strong> when he was younger. There's a flashback in episode 7, lasting from roughly 06:48 to 11:12, that shows how Shizuo got to be so strong in the first place. Your screencap occurs around 07:55.</p>

<p>I found this image today, and am curious as to who the character therein is.</p>

<p><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/OhQwyl.png" alt="The unknown mystery character of DOOM"></p>

<p>The only English result produced by a reverse image search is <a href="http://ikebukuroconfessions.tumblr.com/post/18339149773/i-hate-durarara-ocs" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this blog post</a> which suggests that the origin is the anime <em>Durarara!!</em>. However, I've been looking at various <em>Durarara!!</em> character profiles, such as <a href="http://durarara.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Characters" rel="nofollow noreferrer">the category on their Wikia</a> and <a href="http://japanime4eva.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/durarara-characters1.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this image of all the major characters</a>, and this boy does not appear to be in them.</p>

<p>All this leads me to believe this shot might be a flashback or something (as he looks quite a bit younger), or perhaps another anime if I've been misled...</p>

<p>What is the name of this character?</p>

<durarara>
Who is this character in a green shirt swinging a flagpole?
