Jake first debuted in Chapter 20 of Unity Force: Stories.

He is very caring for those very dear to him. But he can be stubborn and irresponsible at times, he's also laid-back and tries hard being a cool guy. He has passion for skateboarding, breakdancing and hip hop music.

Jake possesses a myriad of superhuman abilities native to his race. While he starts his career still learning them, these powers improve.

* **Eye/Ear of the Dragon** - has vision and hearing are increased exponentially. They are able to utilize a natural form of infraredvision, allowing them to see in the dark and see at longer distances than humans. Their hearing can pick out individual sources of sound which is either far from them, or obscured by noisemaking or sound-blocking obstacles this was demonstrated by Jake many times.
* **Fire Breath** - has the ability to breathe green mist of flames.

Jake is great at acrobatics and can do somersaults, backflips, and many other acrobatics, but this may be due to his dragon heritage. Also, this ability is mostly used while Jake is in human form. He also learns a few wrestling moves.

## In the U.F. Series

### Unity Force: Stories

In Chapter 20, Jake firstly appears in the series, when he is joined in with Rex Salazar, Danny Fenton, and Sean Matsuda on a mission that Max Tennyson gave to them by visiting Earth-2254, the world of Shomin Sample. While in his usual form of quipping and annoyance, with Danny having had to smack his head for his goofery, his personality later turns 180, when Hakua Shiodome witnessed his profound skateboarding tricks. He attempted to stop her, but to no avail, and his pleas were ignored by both Danny and Rex.

## Trivia

* The Chinese word for dragon is "long".
* Jake's catchphrases are "Aw, man!" and "Dragon up!", the latter of which he says almost every time he turns into a dragon.
* In the Unity Force series, Jake is in a relationship with Hakua Shiodome and has begun dating her, albeit it was unexpected, much to his dismay. This implies that Jake broke up with his former girlfriend Rose, prior to being a part of the Unity Force.
