His parents loved him a lot and raised him, Until he reached the age of 5 he lost his father. After the funeral he asked Bolt to make him stronger which he accepted. During swordtraining with his Uncle Akashi he started to collapse, feeling sick and weird while his powers started to get out of control. He was brought to the Kaneki castle while a figure named Giles started to awake inside of him, His family tried to prevent this but failed.

After all that happened he asked Bolt to help him master Giles powers but refused, Not wanting him to take the risk of dying because his body wasn't mature enough to handle such an immense amount of aura. Daniel was being stubborn because he wanted get stronger to protect the people who were dear to him. Bolt came up with a deal to make him and his mother age so he would be able to start training. After that his body started aging he started to look just like a normal 16 year old teenager, Going to highschool while training with Bolt in his spare time.

In highschool he started to become friends with a girl named Yui. They started to spend time together and study at the mansion, They both fell in love with each other and started to date. Daniel came up with the idea of her moving into the mansion so they could spend even more time together.

Some time passed and Giles started to share some of his history with Daniel, Telling him he used to be the 3rd Captain when he died, He wanted to help Daniel getting stronger and gave him his necklace (which is an Sacret item only the first 3 Captains are allowed to use). Daniel let his soul merge with the necklace, being able to summon an armor from it which was made by the gods.

The Captains noticed this and started to keep an eye on him, They saw his value and invited him for a training for two years in The Heavens to make him a Captain aswell. He decited to start his training in the summer vacation so he still got some time to spend on his family and school. (He also started to get feelings for Riley while being in an relationship)

Two years passed, He came back to the Palace (which used to be the mansion) as the 8th Captain, After being welcomed by his family he started to get hugged by Yui, not sure if he still felt the same towards her like in the past. The next he saw Riley sleeping on the couch, He brought her to her room while noticing she woke up, She said she wanted to give Daniel something before he left, kissing him. He left the room and was sure he didn't love Yui anymore, They both decided to break up and left the mansion. Later that day he started to date Riley.
