Daisuke

Daisuke is a contestant labeled **The Samurai**on Total Drama Time Travel.

## Biography

Daisuke's father is a skilled warrior. From the moment Daisuke could walk, he was trained in the ways of a samurai. Daisuke has a natural ability to learn things quickly, and to become proficient in whatever he learns. His father realized early on that Daisuke was special. Daisuke has become a very gifted warrior, and in all his training he surpasses not only others his age, but his teachers, as well. Daisuke realizes how proud his father is of him, and Daisuke has the utmost respect for his father and always wants to please him. Daisuke actually feels very deeply that becoming a samurai is something he doesn't feel comfortable with in his heart. Daisuke is unable to express the fact that he does not want to be a samurai with anyone, but particularly with his father, as he feels that he would be disrespecting his father and would dishonor his ancestors. Daisuke secretly hates violence, and wants to be a kabuki actor.

## Total Drama Time Travel

When Daisuke first arrived, in Welcome to the Present, Therese was very impressed by his manners. She told him that it was improper for his flesh to be exposed, so he apologetically closed his kimono. Daisuke bowed his head when Quog arrived, and Quog proceeded to rummage through Daisuke's hair in an effort to find ticks. When Alexander the Generally Awesome arrived he told the others to bow before him. Only Daiuke did so.

Daisuke noted the Quog was marking his territory in the guys' room, in Central Theme Park. Daisuke quickly went to bed to avoid the situation. Daisuke was paired with Therese during the challenge to find a boy that bullied Chris, and to traumatize the boy. Therese was tired of walking, so she wanted to sit down. Daisuke began to remove his kimono, and Therese began to reprimand him, but he placed it on the bench for her to sit on, so she stopped reprimanding him. The boy they were searching for went into the restroom that was behind them. Therese told Daisuke to follow after him to traumatize him, but Daisuke said he wanted to wait until he got out of the restroom. The boy's parents waited for him outside, and had an argument. They said that they planned to get divorced. Therese became solemn over hearing that, and Daisuke indicated that he knew what a divorce was. Therese looked up and saw that the boy had heard what his parents said. He then pretended like nothing was wrong, in an attempt for his parents to reconcile. Therese and Daisuke went back to Chris and told him what they found out, after deciding that they did not want to do the challenge, anymore. Chris was upset at first, but was understanding of their reasoning. He decided to call off the challenge.

Julietta suggested that Daisuke be the one to pick up the Holy Grail, in Total Drama Time Travel and the Quest for the Holy Grail, but he said that he didn't feel comfortable doing it. Daisuke indicated that he voted for Cleo, because he liked her. Daisuke attempted to confirm that the author they were going to see actually wanted to write more, in And Then There Were Eighteen. CHris said that that was what she was born to do, and Daisuke said that he'd heard that before. Daisuke held the jacket he was wearing over Therese so her hair wouldn't get wet when it was raining. When the others thought that Robert had died, Therese insisted that it was a hoax, and that Robert wasn't actually dead. Therese commanded Daisuke to go with her, and to guard the room she wanted to stay in. Mark later saw Daisuke lying unconscious, and the door he was guarding, opened.

In Hair Today, Gone Last Week, Therese protested the idea of a protest, and Daisuke laughed at that. She told him not to laugh at her expense. After he explained himself, she said she would allow his outburst. Florence paired up with Daisuke for the challenge. She told him not to treat her like his master. They took a break from protesting, and Daisuke that it was the way of the samurai to serve a master, so he was practicing to be a good samurai. He told Florence that he really didn't want to be a samurai, but for her not to tell anyone. Florence encouraged him to use the experience as a break from his every day life. She then told him to help her protest, and he told her to do it herself. He apologized, after she got annoyed.

Daisuke complimented Love Possum for standing up for Inga who did not want to do the challenge, in Pillaged Village People, referring to it as strategy. Quog watched Daisuke sharpen swords at an abandoned blacksmith shop. Quog accidentally touched something, knocking everything down. Daisuke looked up to see that Quog fled the scene. Daisuke let out a sigh and continued working. Daisuke was in the final two in the dance marathon challenge, in So You Think You Can Hop?, facing up against El Serpiente. Daisuke taunted El Serpiente as they danced for hours. Daisuke stated that he never got to do anything fun like that at home. Daisuke won the challenge for his team.

Daisuke politely tried to point something out to Chris, in We Interrupt This Challenge to Bring You Something Completely Different, but was constantly insulted, and interrupted by Chris. Daisuke finally lost his temper and lashed out at Chris, calling him an idiot, and pointing out that the time travel device was missing. Therese fainted on account of Daisuke's outburst. Daisuke deduced that El Serpiente and Bianka had been locked in a room, but were no longer there, meaning that they had to have vanished in thin air. Ira stated that they must have used the time travel device, and Daisuke noted that that's what he was getting at.

When Chris mentioned that they would make rescuing Mark and Julietta into a challenge, in When Did They Go?, Daisuke rolled his eyes. Daisuke told his team that they try to find where Bianka was staying, by finding a list of hotel's in the city. While his team distracted Bianka, Daisuke sneaked up and grabbed hold of Bianka from behind. After Bianka revealed when she sent Mark and Julietta, Daisuke let go of Bianka. Daisuke complimented Therese for convincing Bianka to inform them of Mark and Juliette's location. Daisuke explained that a change in the past only seemed to change people directly effected, that was why Chris was able to tell that Mark didn't belong in Julietta's time.

When Chris asked if anyone had anymore questions, in Prom and Circumstance, Daisuke asked Chris why he was an idiot. Daisuke looked down at his half shirt and tight jeans for the Eighties challenge, and said he looked ridiculous. Therese said that she thought he looked good, but then said that she was only trying to make him feel better. When the young man they went to see asked what the future was, Daisuke noted that he was as stupid as Chris. Daisuke then realized that the young man was Chris as a teenager. After young Chris died, making older Chris vanish, Daisuke vocalized his regret for being disrespectful toward Chris, saying that he wasn't a bad man. Daisuke went back to warn Chris of what was going to happen. Chris was skeptical of Daisuke's warning, until he mentioned meeting Chris younger, acne ridden self. Chris wondered how Daisuke could know that they went to meet his younger self, and that he had acne. Chris heeded Daisuke's warning and brought everyone back to the future.

In Portrait of an Artist as a Young Slob, Daisuke respectfully asked Chris where they were going in the past. Therese swooned over Daisuke's respectful behavior. Daisuke asked Jon Pierre what happened to him. Daisuke said that they had to make sure that Chris didn't stay in prison, in Stolen Goodies, because of what he did for them. Daisuke tackled Mark when he was about to say that Chris used the time travel device to benefit himself. Daisuke stated that Chris used the time travel device to benefit mankind. The representative of the RCMP agreed to let Chris go. Therese kissed Daisuke for his efforts. Daisuke also earned invincibility for his efforts.

Daisuke noted that he thought Mark would win the entire competition, in Animal Distraction. He said that Quog spoke for them in forgiving Ira, by hugging him. Quog then accidentally said that he still licked Ira. Daisuke took back what he said. Daisuke assured Ira that Quog would be okay, in Streak Out. Lady Perlative and Daisuke followed Chris into the kitchen, during the challenge, and it was revealed that Chris just discovered that Love Possum was his father. Love Possum's mother told them to leave. Daisuke respectfully said yes. She told him that he could stay. Daisuke ended up being the one to streak through the neighborhood, winning invincibility.

Daisuke stated that he was enjoying himself, in Leaving Your Mark, and that he never felt so free. The remaining contestants visited Mark. When Chris left to see his new girlfriend, in Expiration Dating, Daisuke repeatedly banged his head against the wall out of boredom. When Love Possum was upset about ruining his chances with his girlfriend, Daisuke assured him that it wasn't his fault. In Greek Squad, Daisuke stated that he was having an amazing time. Dressed with a piece of fabric and a helmet, but otherwise naked, Ira asked Daisuke how he looked. Daisuke began laughing. When brought to ancient Greece, Daisuke immediately ran off. He went in the water and then emerged, telling two fishermen he was Poseidon, as the challenge required. He commanded them to gather their friends at the public square. After Florence won the challenge, a disappointed Daisuke went to his room. Ira followed after him, and assured that Daisuke did well in the challenge. Daisuke said that he wanted to be an actor, so it hurt losing a challenge that entailed it. Ira assured him that the fishermen were thoroughly convinced that Daisuke was Poseidon, which made Daisuke feel better about his acting abilities. Ira stated that he was voting for his strongest competitor. At the elimination ceremony, Daisuke gathered that Ira was referring to him. Ira ended up being eliminated, however.

Daisuke noted in confessional that he wasn't ready to go home, yet, in A Pirate's Strife For Me. Daisuke hid behind a barrel and observed the speech and mannerisms of the many pirate crew that he was meant to take charge of. Daisuke took seaweed out of his barrel and applied it to his face like a beard. He then told the pirate crew that he was Greenbeard, and that he would be taking over their ship. They brought their captain to Daisuke, and he took over his role, because his beard was more impressive. Daisuke was able to get Lady Perlative to surrender, winning the challenge for himself. Daisuke chose to eliminate Lady Perlative. He stated that he would consider it disloyal to vote out his former teammate, Florence.

Daisuke told Florence that she was fortunate to be able to choose whatever profession she wanted, in Finale Fantasy, while he had to become a samurai because his father was one. Daisuke stated that he really wanted to be an actor. Florence apologized for not having any advice to give. Daisuke was scared when Chris said that they'd be going to samurai times. Chris clarified by saying that only Florence would be, while Daisuke would go to Florence's time period. Daisuke was transported to a men's room, and he went outside to see a group of African American men in a waiting room. One of the men told Daisuke that they were in a waiting room, waiting to audition for a part in a television show. The man, named Jimmy, gave Daisuke his script, telling him to learn a few lines. Daisuke got a bit part as an extra. Daisuke sat in a chair and heavily focused on the script, ignoring a young man named Michael who wanted romantic advice. After his scene was over, Daisuke met with Jimmy and said that he had fun, despite not having any lines. Jimmy walked off, and Chris appeared. He took Daisuke back to the present. It was revealed that Daisuke lost Total Drama Time Travel for ignoring the young man that asked for advice. When Chris was going to send Daisuke back to his time, Daisuke pleaded with him not to make him go back. Chris sent Daisuke back to his time. Daisuke cried in his room. His father came in and Daisuke stood up and wiped his eyes. Daisuke's father told him that it was time to bring him to his master, but he asked if Daisuke really wanted to do that. Daisuke lied, not wanting to upset his father. They entered a horse drawn carriage, and it stopped after moving for a little while. Daisuke's father went outside to talk with some men, and one said that Daisuke's father killed his father, and that he sought his revenge. Daisuke heard a slam, and shouted. The men realized that someone else was in the carriage, and Daisuke was hit in the back of the head from behind, going unconscious. When Daisuke came to, he was told by a group of kabuki actors that they rescued him from the side of the road. He asked about his father, and they looked sad. Daisuke said that he would join the men, starting his life over as an actor. Daisuke's father was shown hiding behind a tree, smiling as Daisuke left with the group of actors, knowing what was in Daisuke's heart.

## Trivia

* Daisuke was the twenty-first contestant eliminated, and the runner-up.
* Daisuke is from about 1655.
* Daisuke is specifically from 1655, because of his desire to become a kabuki actor. Kabuki was originally an all female group, but that was banned due to kabuki theaters also being used in prostitution. After that, the groups became all male, but the prostitution remained. By Daisuke's time the prostitution within kabuki had ended. He refers to acting being a dishonorable profession, likely referring to kabuki's past.
* Daisuke's name is pronounced "Die-Skay".
* Daisuke was named by The Anonymous User.
* Daisuke's character model is shirtless to show that he is muscular. One of his original sketches had a closed kimono and he looked pudgy, which wasn't what I was going for.
* He has no weapons with him, as that isn't part of the competition he is taking part in.
* Daisuke and Lady Perlative are the two more intelligent and serious contestants in the story.
* Daisuke refused to pick up the Holy Grail. This was because he felt that his not wanting to become a samurai was defiant and disrespectful.
* Daisuke eventually becomes disrespectful toward Chris, but changes once Chris was lost in a challenge. Daisuke often defends Chris' behavior after the incident.
* Daisuke was originally meant to be eliminated before the merge. The reason he wasn't was because his elimination was meant to be after he was having a fun time in the competition. Early on, there weren't many opportunities for him to feel that way, so he made it further. He ended up in the final two as I needed a male in the finals, not wanting to have another two female final two like in my first story Total Drama: Boney Island, and the other males that made it far into the competition all had reasons that they needed to be eliminated before the final two. Daisuke became the runner-up by default.
