==Profile==
===in Bakugan.com===
Caucasian, medium height and an athletic build. Dark hair with a red streak in it that he's had since birth. Dan's dress has a modern, urban daredevil flair to it. Sporting the coolest sneakers, gloves and pads, Dan looks like he could ride any bike, board or set of skis right up a wall if you asked him to. Dan is “the Talent” portion of the [[Awesome Ones]]. Aim a camera at this kid, give him a task and he's sure to deliver a “like”-worthy performance. Dan is athletic, outgoing, inclusive and supportive— a natural leader, even though he doesn't think of himself as one. Over the course of his brief and charmed life, Dan has made lots of friends, but is fiercely loyal to his two besties, [[Wynton Styles]] and [[Lia Venegas]]. They have been through a lot together and even when they've had disagreements, no one ever goes home mad. It's a rule with Dan: “The sun doesn't go down until we work it out.” That's how you make lifelong friendships. A never-say-die, charismatic force of nature, Dan could hang out with any group of kids but sticks with the crew that shares his passion for making videos and sharing them with the world. Life's a game to Dan, but he doesn't play to win, he plays to play. Dan accepts any challenge head on, because he wants to know what he's capable of. <ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20220510194746/https://bakugan.com/en/characters McQ's Bakugan.com entry]</ref>
==Biography==
===[[Bakugan Battle Planet]]===
Dan Kouzo is a member of the [[Awesome Ones]], a group of kids living in [[Los Volmos]] who make videos for the video site ViewTube. The other members include [[Wynton Styles]], [[Lia Venegas]], and [[Lightning]] the dog. Twelve years after the [[Great Collision]], the Awesome Ones sneak into a restricted area of [[Pinpoint Park]], in order to film a video for their ViewTube channel on the twelve-year anniversary of the Great Collision, in a crater caused by the Collision. While the group throws a surprise announcement for Dan's birthday, the second Great Collision occurs, causing the group to experience the [[Hide Matrix]] for the first time. Dan meets [[Dragonoid (RebootGeneration 2)|Drago]], his new Bakugan partner.<ref>''[[Origin of Species Part 1]]''</ref>
Dan and the rest of the Awesome Ones and their newfound Bakugan spend their time filming videos for their ViewTube channel. This is comprised of Dan, Wyton, Lia, and Lightning, and their Bakugan Drago, [[Trox (Generation 2)|Trox]], [[Gorthion]], and [[Howlkor]] respectively, training and experimenting with BakuCores. Through this experimentation, Dan and Drago discover the abilities possible with BakuCores. The Awesome Ones share this discovery with the viewers on their ViewTube channel.<ref>''[[Origin of Species Part 2]]''</ref>
The Awesome Ones continue training with their Bakugan, to the point of exhaustion. As the other rest, Dan is persuaded by Drago to pick up food for the team at a local [[Burger Joint]]. He and Drago debate brawling possibilities when they encounter a mysterious Bakugan and its brawler robbing the Burger Joint. These turn out to be [[Aay]] and his [[Ventus#Reboot|Ventus]] [[Mantonoid]]. By starting a brawl with this brawler to defend the Burger Joint, Dan discovers the [[Drome]]. Using a move that Wynton and Trox used earlier, Dan and Drago defeat Aay, receiving their meals for free in compensation. The two return to the [[Studio D]], where they collapse, exhausted from the brawl.<ref>''[[Burger Run]]''</ref>
Later, the team is driven to the location of the brawl: a giant stone room in the middle of a desert, and are greeted by China and Jenkins. After seeing Lia loses Gorthion to China, Dan and Wynton step up to challenge China, offering their own Bakugan up in return for Gorthion. Despite their best efforts, Drago and Trox are still surprised by the movable arena. However, with the help of Lia and Pegatrix, they are able to locate BakuCores. With the combined effort of Drago, Trox, and Pegatrix, the Awesome Ones easily beat Maxotaur, and Gorthion is returned to Lia. However, China refuses to hand over Maxotaur, and escapes with Jenkins on a helicopter.<ref>''[[Pegatrix (episode)|Pegatrix]]''</ref>
After [[Aay]]'s attack on a local shopping mall, Dan notices the aptitudes of [[Magnus Black]] (in disguise) and [[Shun Kazami (RebootGeneration 2)|Shun Kazami]]. He invites both of them to try out for the Awesome Ones, though after seeing Magnus' reckless behavior, the group chooses to induct Shun.<ref>''[[Frenemies]]''</ref>
Dan is approached by [[Bobby]] in order to help track down his missing Bakugan, [[Bear]]. The Awesome Ones discover that Bear has been stolen and brainwashed by [[Strata the Hunter]]. Dan and the rest of the Awesome ones manage to destroy the device controlling Bear, freeing him.<ref>''[[Strata's Fear]]''</ref>
