Captain Jake

**Jake** (later known as **Captain Jake**) is a young pirate boy who is under the wings of Peter Pan and serves as the main protagonist of the Disney Junior animated series, *Jake and the Never Land Pirates*.

## Appearance

Jake is a young boy who carries a very slender figure. He has hazel eyes, spiky black hair, rosy cheeks, light olive skin, and thick black banana-shaped eyebrows. He always wears a red bandanna around his head.

In seasons 1-3, his outfit consists of a blue waistcoat with a collar and gold trims and buttons, over a white ripped V-neck T-shirt with a black crossed lace on his neckline. He also sports a gray waistband, indigo trousers, and brown bucket-top boots with gold buckles and "J" insignias on the bucket tops. His sword is also with him at all times.

Following the season 3 finale special, "The Great Never Sea Conquest" and later into season 4, Jake now wears a navy blue captain's hat, a matching blue jacket, black trousers, and a black belt with a gold buckle. He still wears his red bandanna and brown boots, while wielding his Mighty Captain Sword with him at all times.

## Personality

Jake is a young pirate who was given the task to protect Never Land with his crew while Peter Pan left the island to explore the outside world. Before Peter left, Jake was given a wooden sword made from the Forever Tree in Never Land with special abilities so he can be a good leader. In the special "Jake's Never Land Rescue", the sword mysteriously disappear with the threat of Never Land disappearing as well. Later during his adventure to save Never Land Jake is bestowed with the Destiny Sword by the newly grown Forever Tree.

Jake treats Cubby much like a little brother and Izzy like a sister more than a friend. Jake's also has a pet sidekick, his parrot Skully. Jake is the captain of a buccaneering ship named Bucky and sails places with his crew.

Jake is a natural born leader, handsome, fearless, caring, and daring who cares very much for his crew and ship and is easily annoyed by Captain Hook's schemes as is the rest of his crew. In spite of their rivalry however, Jake has saved Hook's life a few times most notably in "Captain Hook is Missing!" where he saved Hook from falling to his death in Belch Mountain's lava pit.

Jake also has a mermaid friend named Marina, who has a crush on him (according to her voice actress Ariel Winter).﻿ In the episode "Jake's Starfish Search", Captain Hook kidnaps Marina's pet starfish and unlike most of the other times Hook's nabbed certain things.

## Role in Sora’s Adventures

Captain Jake makes several appearances in the show. Along with his mateys, he is criticized by fans for being extremely overused. He makes a small appearance in Sora’s Adventure Begins! where he learns about Sora and the Keyblade War from Pip.

His first major role was in Sora’s Adventures in Never Land, where he and his crew join forces with Sora and the Guardians to protect Izzy and Wendy from not only The Legion of Pirate Villains, but also Luxord and Vexen.

## Role in Heart of the Keybearer series

Although he is not seen in *Kingdom Hearts: Dawn of the Keybearer,* Pip mentions him, Izzy and Cubby as "mateys who freed me from me bottle."

His only appearance in the series was *Kingdom Hearts: The Keybearer's Last Crusade,* in which he and his mateys meet the Guardian Eight (who replace the Darling Children due to Wendy being grown up in this timeline) on the Bucky. He is a support character in Never Land, helping the gang fight some bosses while Peter Pan and Pip are the party members of this world. Before the guardians leave, Jake gives them a new Heartbinder to summon Captain Gizmo.

## Trivia

* He and Izzy shared a Paopu fruit once. Their destinies have become intertwined as a result.
* Although unconfirmed, there is a theory that Jake may in fact be the son of Captain Jack Sparrow. This may stem from the fact that he was once meant to be a younger version of Sparrow.
* The most common criticism about the Sora's Adventures version of the character (and the fanfic in general) is how he, along with Izzy, Cubby and Pip, are the "creator's pets" of the fanfic (as they are shoehorned into many episodes where they aren't needed and hog up 90% of the screentime in those episodes).
