[edit] Characters

[edit] Main characters

• Dan Kuso: He is the leader of the Bakugan Battle Brawlers. He is a 12-year-old who is more street smart than book smart and is always looking for adventure. He is quick to react in situations and has a short temper. Dan’s life revolves around Bakugan, with his greatest ambition to become the number one ranked Bakugan player in the world. He is the master of the power play and uses fire attributes in battle. His Guardian Bakugan is the Pyrus-attribute Infinity Dragonoid II. In episode 35, it is revealed that he is ranked 3nd best Bakugan player in the world. In episode 13, he loses to Shun's Skyress but gets revenge. He eventually reaches first place as the best Bakugan player in the world. At the end of the series,Dan is seen with Runo on a date.

• Runo Misaki: At the age of 12, Runo isn’t your typical pre-teen girl. She loves playing Bakugan with people that have skills and like Dan has a short temper and gets angry when has lost a battle. Runo has a crush on Dan (although she wouldn’t admit it) and is jealous of Julie taking Dan's attention. In battle, she uses light attributes. Her Guardian Bakugan is the Haos-attribute Blade Tigrera. At the end of the series, Runo is seen with Dan on a date.

• Marucho Marokuro: He is a young blond haired boy who is very wealthy. His Guardian Bakugan is Preyas. He regrets on one of the episodes of who he used to be. He always used to obey his parents and listen to them. But by the end of the episode he has harmony and peace between being obidient and free.

• Julie: She lives in Bakugan Valley. She's sort of upbeat from the rest of the Battle Brawlers and tries to stay happy even when the worst has happened (case in point, when Billy joined Masquerade). Her Guardian Bakugan is Gorem. She always up and happy with positive attiudes. And is jelous of her sister Daisy.

• Alice Gehabich: She is a 14-year-old girl from Moscow who didn't play Bakugan until her identity of Masquerade had disappeared from her body. Upon his departure, Masquerade left her the Darkus-attribute Delta Hydranoid Bakugan. Michael is her grandfather, but after learning that her grandfather became Hal-G and works with Naga, she constantly worried about him. Alice also advises the other Brawlers, but whenever they confronted Masquerade, she was never there. Her Guardian Bakugan is initially the Darkus-attribute Exdera; later in the series, she begins using the Darkus-attribute Delta Hydranoid.

• Shun Kazami: He is a strong, silent, cool type 13-year-old. He created the rules and regulations of Bakugan with Dan and is a master of the game, and also is Dan's childhood friend. Shun is a loner, a boy of very few words, yet is willing to help his friends at every turn. He approaches the game like a Ninja, being very calculating. Shun uses the wind attributes in battle. He lives with his grandfather who once forbid him to play Bakugan ever again! His Guardian Bakugan is the Ventus-attribute Storm Skyress; he is very close to Skyress, who was given to him by his mother who soon died.

• Masquerade: He is a very mysterious character who is the first rank brawler. A great Bakugan player and Dan’s main rival, he wears a mask. It is later revealed in episodes 38 and 39 that he is Alice and was created from when she was exposed to the negative energy of the Silent Core. When he takes over her body she somewhat blacks out and has no memory of anything that happened while Masquerade was in control. In battle, Masquerade carries the doom cards, allowing him to send losing Bakugan to the Doom Dimension. He has teamed up with Hal-G, and together, their quest is to ensure Naga wins by drawing in all the powers of the Infinity Core and the Silent Core, making Naga the supreme ruler of both Vestroia and Earth. His Guardian Bakugan is the Darkus-attribute delta Hydranoid, which he gives to Alice once he disappears from her body.

• Joe Brown: He is also known as "Webmaster Joe" who created the bakugan website. The Bakugan Brawlers first thought of Joe was that he was working with Masquerade but turns out Joe sent a message to all Bakugan Brawlers in the chat room of the news of Masquerade and becomes one of the Bakugan Brawlers. He lives with his mother and moves to the Brawlers neighborhood in episode 33. His Guardian Bakugan was Haos Siege at first but is replaced by Wavern, a rare gray dragon and in episode 33 it is found that she is the twin sister of Naga and has the Infinity Core inside of her. Wyvern doesn't have a certain attribute, but mostly Haos, but it's knowm as a white attribute. Chan Lee seems to have a crush on Joe and Wyvern seems to have a crush on Drago.

• Hal-G: The primary villain of the series. He is Alice's grandfather, taken over by the negative energy of the Silent Core. He had turn when trying out an experiment in his lab when he got carried to Vestoria and met Naga. After that he got exposed to the Slient Core and became evil. He works with Masquerade.
