Description
Daisuke Hagiwara is a male human character with brown hair and brown eyes, appearing as a teen. He is a fellow schoolmate of the protagonists Reiji Ozora and Maiko Yukino. Status is alive.
Daisuke initially holds a grudge against Reiji, believing that Reiji has stolen Maiko's affection. He considers Reiji a rival in matters of both Dragon Drive and Maiko's attention, though Reiji himself does not think much of this rivalry, especially after scoring a lucky victory over Daisuke in their first battle. Despite this rocky beginning, Daisuke eventually becomes a close and dependable friend to Reiji.
A core aspect of his personality is his persistent and heavy crush on Maiko Yukino. He often refers to her with the affectionate phrase "My Sweet Honey". His feelings for her are a primary source of his initial jealousy and his ongoing motivation. In the manga's second season, while helping Maiko search for a character named Takumi, he continues to show deep jealousy, particularly toward any friendly encouragement Maiko receives from another character named Ichiro.
Daisuke is portrayed as an experienced Dragon Drive player. His skill level is such that he is able to receive the special Elemental Shift card, which he immediately tests in a match against a virtual dragon. In the early parts of the story, he is often seen in the company of Kyoji Tachibana, a popular and athletic student at their school.
His role in the story evolves significantly when a dimensional portal is opened in the Dragon Drive training room. Daisuke is transported to the world of Rikyu along with Reiji, Chibi (Reiji's dragon), and Maiko. He originally intends to compete in the Dragonic Heaven tournament but is injured during the qualifying round by the dragons of two characters named Lyn and Sue. Despite this setback, he becomes a dependable ally to Reiji, participating in battles against major antagonists including Kohei, Gwonku, and Shinryu. In a comedic moment that highlights his personality, he once attempts to cheer up Maiko when Reiji is away on a quest, but ends up scaring her when his pants accidentally come undone in her presence. In the manga's second season, he is called upon once again by a character named Meguru to return to Rikyu and help defend both worlds.
