## Appearance

In the distant past, during the awakening of Alice's alter ego, he can be seen wearing a short red coat with black pockets over a bright yellow sleeveless shirt. He has brown hair, on which he wears hexagonal-shaped glasses. He wears long red pants with black stripes just below the knees, the ends of which are neatly tucked into black sneakers with blue tongues. He keeps his Bakugan gear on his belt. Lastly, he was wearing blue fingerless gloves. The left glove was longer and he wore an orange BakuPod on his left wrist.

In Bakugan Chronicles, he wears a long-sleeved, gold-trimmed coat with dark "shoulder pads" on his shoulders. His sleeves reach to his wrists, forming a slightly upward V-shape, and he wears this over a light blue sleeveless shirt. He wears white pants with gray pinstripe patches on his hips highlighted in blue. The bottom of his trousers is neatly tucked into his black boots and held up by a white and blue belt with a square buckle, and around his waist he wears suspender-like straps with gold buckles. He wore black fingerless gloves almost identical to the ones he wore in the first season.

In Char's Revenge, he wears a red jacket with a white collar and the sleeves rolled up slightly to his forearms. His glasses became elliptical. His belt with a gold buckle is replaced with a regular one (silver or aluminum). He wears dark pants with side pockets highlighted in red and tucked into blue and black sneakers with gray tongues. When he became a castle knight, he wore a tight-fitting, high-collared battle suit similar to stormtrooper armor. It was trimmed in red and gold and had blue markings on the sides. However, at the end of the season, he returned to his old gear once Full Frontal was defeated.

When traveling with Red in The Long Journey, Part 2, he wears his signature red jacket with a high black collar and black pads on the sides of each shoulder over a white and blue T-shirt. He wears regular jeans with a brown belt. He also wears black sneakers with red soles and red tongues. In the second arc, he wears a red jacket with white flowers on the shoulders, black fingerless gloves, and dark red jeans.

## Personality

Dan is a Bakugan lover with all his heart who strives to become the best Bakugan player, which he achieves in the first season of the series. Dan, as a rule, is an impulsive and reckless person, which is why he often has to face problems due to excessive self-confidence. He gets angry easily, which, combined with his desire to fight, makes situations where he needs to sit quietly and quietly unbearable.

In the beginning, Dan played using pure brute force, without thinking about strategy, caring only about victory, and not about the future consequences. Because of this, he and Drago got into an argument, which ended with Dan throwing Drago into the river. After losing his battle with Rayo and reuniting with Drago, Dan learned that there was more to the Bakugan than just power. After this event, Dan began to use a little more strategy in his battles, defeating world champions such as Chang Li.

## Story

From the distant past, when Dan first appears, he is seen riding his bike to the park where he is due to fight his rival Akira. However, his older brother Shuji fought Dan in his place. He managed to defeat him with ease. He was later challenged to a rematch, which he accepted. Drago tries to get the Fear Ripper to stop fighting him. After the vision ended, Drago and the Fear Ripper appeared on the battlefield and Drago was able to defeat him, giving Dan the victory. Dan was surprised to hear Drago talking to the Fear Ripper and thought he was imagining things. He then takes Drago back to his home. While studying the past, he also fought the Mask, which was Alice at the time. Having defeated him, and then Naga, Alice was able to awaken her alter ego again and at any moment could use her power for her Bakugan of the Darkus element.

During the Bakugan Chronicles, Dan and his friends become victims of the Concept Change. So he managed to visit both New Vestoria and GU2 Land. By that time, he once met Amuro Ray, who was considered missing. Soon after joining the Alliance, he fought with the hosts of Vestral, and later with Neo Zeon, helping to find traitors to the Empire and the Federation.

2 years later, during the events of Char's Revenge, he met Amuro again, but the reason for this was not only the invasion of the Dark Crusaders, but also the Fake Char, who turned out to be Full Frontal. Trying to find the real Char, they were already helped by Keith, who had previously been their enemy. Having found Char, they also managed to deal with Full Frontal, who eventually killed himself.

At some point, he also took part in a fight with Baion during the fight with the Stone Demon. But soon, when Drago, his personal Bakugan, evolved again, he fought Coredegon. After the events, he also wanted to go on a long journey, but on his own, without any mechas.
