Dan and his friends, Runo, Marucho, Julie, Shun and Alice become the Bakugan Battle Brawlers. They soon learn that the game is for the fate of Vestroia and must stop the evil plans of Hal-G, who is Alice's grandfather, and the mysterious Masquerade who shows up and sends other kids' Bakugans to the Doom Dimension with his Doom Cards.

Characters

Main characters

  • Dan Kuso: He is the leader of the Bakugan Battle Brawlers. He is a 12-year-old who is always looking for some action. 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. At the end of the series, since he beat masquerade, he becomes number 1 in the world. He is the master of the power play and uses fire attributes in battle. In episode 35, it is revealed that he is ranked 3rd 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. His Guardian Bakugan is the Pyrus-attribute Infinity Dragonoid II (called Drago for short).
  • Runo Misaki: At the age of 12, Runo is 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 she lost a battle. Runo has a crush on Dan although she would not admit it (Altough she did in episode 32, in a way) and is jealous of Julie taking Dan's attention. In battle, she uses light attributes. At the end of the series, Runo is seen with Dan on a date. Her Guardian Bakugan is the Haos-attribute Tigrerra.
  • Marucho Marokuro: He is a 11-year old blonde haired boy who is very wealthy. 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 obedient and free. His Guardian Bakugan is Preyas, whom he lost to Klaus, but it was returned to him.
  • Julie Makimoto: 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 ended up under the control of Masquerade). She always up and happy with positive attiudes. At the beginning, she is shown to like Dan and then later she likes Billy. Her Guardian Bakugan is Subterra-attribute Hammer Gorem.
  • Alice Gehabich: She is a 13-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. And she is alway disappearng out of nowhere. She has a huge crush on Shun. They go out at the end of the series but they don`t show it. Her Guardian Bakugan is initially the Darkus-attribute Exdera; later in the series, she begins using the Darkus-attribute Delta Hydranoid after inheriting it from Masquerade.
  • 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! He loves Alice so much but won`t admit it. At the end of the series he and Alice go out, but the episode they don`t show it.His Guardian Bakugan is the Ventus-attribute Storm Skyress. He is very close to Skyress who was given to him by his mother who slipped back into her coma-like state.
  • Masquerade: The number one ranked Bakugan player in the world. He is revealed to be Alice. Masquerade came to be when negative energy changed Alice and her grandfather.
  • 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. Wyvern doesn't have a certain attribute, but mostly Haos, but it's known as a white attribute. Chan Lee seems to have a crush on Joe and Wyvern seems to have a crush on Drago. His Guardian Bakugan was Haos Siege at first but is replaced by Wyvern, 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. He secretly likes Alice. But ends up dating Chan Lee.
