The protagonist of Juusenki L-Gaim. Daba is a young man who was entrusted by his grandfather with the custom-built Heavy Metal named L-Gaim, and would later pilot it as he and his friends are constantly thrown into hairy situations. He is very friendly and somewhat of a womanizer, as he managed to passively bring Fanneria Amu and Gaw Ha Leecee to his side without any overt persuasion.
