Biography
Born in Hiroshima, Kasai grew up in a middle class family. His mother was a nurse and his father a mechanic. Kasai never saw much of his parents because they were always hard working, to provide for the family.

Following in his father's steps, Kasai became a mechanic as well. He moved to Stilwater several years later where he got the attention of Joseph Price and his Westside Rollerz. Because his name was difficult to pronounce for Joseph and his gang, they decided to call him Donnie. Donnie approved his new name and liked it.

From there, Kasai, now Donnie, agreed to repair and modify the cars of Joseph Price and his gang with state of the art aftermarket parts, giving an extremely competitive edge in Stilwater and Steelport's street racing scene.

Saints Row (2018)
It wasn't until Devil's Night that things changed. While the Ministry of Gluttony was forced out of Packard County, it didn't go without a few consequences. The Ministry of Greed later showed up at Donnie's garage and threatened to end his life if he continued to help the Westside Rollerz, costing the gang greatly. Donnie told Joseph about what happened. Joseph told Donnie that if all of them are to remain safe, it was best if they split.

Knowing the secrets of Donnie's family that not even he was aware of, Persephone made him a part of the MAYHEM Initiative to fight LEGION, which included taking on agent Kingpin's United Front, he declined taking on his friends but was more than happy to take on the mafia and Ministry of Pride. Little did Donnie know that he was the descendant of a clan of samurai dating back 900 years to the Kamakura period-the Shimizu clan.

Personality
Donnie is the way he always was on Earth-76. However, after learning about his ancestors, he became highly interested in the way of the samurai. Learning the way and researching their code of honor. Knowing the samurai always faced their enemy head on, he would never volunteer for stealth missions, even if his friends needed him. Through discovering his true heritage and learning the samurai code of honor, Donnie was a changed man and like all samurai from ancient Japan, he too was very strict when it came to showing honor. Though he is highly aware that the way of the blade and samurai cannot be brought back and revived, he still lives by the code out of respect for his ancestors, now believing that it is what they would want in these desperate times.

Appearance
Before learning about his ancient heritage, Donnie wore a brown leather jacket with jeans and work boots. Afterwards however, he still wears the same clothing but has an old straw hat and the old katanas that once belonged to his ancestors, now his weapon to use against LEGION.
