Jake Vallory is a new character for Bakugan: Gundalian Invaders. He became a new friend of Dan when Dan arrived at Bayview. He has a powerful presence, because he's big for his age. He's very calm, but can get overly excited and obsessive. He is just starting out as a brawler and still was asked to join the Bakugan Battle Brawlers. He really admires Dan and likes to use his name and rhymes it with other words like, "Dan the Man," which sometimes irritates Dan.
