Before he was in Sunny High, his hair was bleached blonde and was often mistaken as a university student.

Later on, Dom decided to shave his hair. When they went to the temple and got their uniforms, his friends said that he looked like a monk.

## Personality

Dom is caring towards his friends and others and does his best to get involved. Some may find him annoying. Dom is considered the comedic relief of the series. He is often sleeping during classes because of his night job at the club. Before, Dom was rude to others and fought often until he met Yuna. Because of his feelings for her, he does his best to change. By acting all generous and kind, he gives her a good picture of himself while he does all the dirty things behind her back. He can be pretty merciless and cold when things get serious what is a strong contrast to his usual self. During the race against Monster, Dom showed how passionate he is about that sport and how talented he actually is when you consider that he couldn't ride a bike just a month ago.

He sometimes lets his confidence get the better of him but, he is a hardworking and determined individual as he does his best to learn how to ride a bike despite the amount of times he has been injured riding it. He is also someone who does as much training as possible in order to catch up to his friends and be a big help for the team.

He is a bit gullible, often falling for scams. But with the help of his father's men, he always gets his revenge.

## History

Prior to his first big race as a part of the Humming bird Crew, Dom was not subjected to the weight of being responsible for others. He would frequently get into fights and let his father's men take care of the mess. If he got in trouble in school, his father took care of it for him. Entering high school, as a blonde haired punk, he met his match in Yuna. She was the first person to believe in his dream of pursuing music. She encouraged him to do well in school so that he may transfer and pursue music in higher education.

## Bike

After getting scammed while trying to buy a bike and then tracking the scammer to take the bike forcefully from him, Dom ends up with a stock Cervelo T1 track bike with a full carbon Mavic rear disc wheel and a spoked 90mm front wheel for 50,000 won, or about 50 USD. The actual price of a retail T1 is upwards of 2000 USD. At first, Dom attempts to ride the bike brakeless, but he can't use back-pedaling to brake, so he gets a front brake fitted to the bike. During the preliminaries of the League Of Street, he gets into a crash but finishes the time trial with the rear wheel on a flat tire and cracked beyond use. It is replaced by a 90mm spoked wheel similar to the undamaged front wheel. Over time, Dom develops a bond with the bike, affectionately calling it his "Brad TT".
