Daiki Hakono (
Appearance[]
Daiki's most notable features are his circular eyes and snout-like nose, which are features he retains throughout all his appearances. As a child, Daiki had a bowl cut and wore light clothing, but as he grew into an adult he grew a much more scruffy appearance, now donning a moustache and beard. Attire-wise he was clad in a pair of underwear and a light button-up shirt, as well as the helmet that all Danmanra players wore during their first task.
Upon rapidly aging, his hair had grown both longer and white, with his beard now connecting and reaching his chest. He has also switched out his bicycle helmet for a simple bucket hat, and he now wears a varsity jacket emblazoned with a "B".

Synopsis[]
Kintama Hunt Saga[]
Danmanra Arc[]
After visiting Unji Zuma's empty house, Momo and Okarun hear screaming when suddenly Daiki shows up, half naked and holding a sword. The two start running and Momo is able to immobilize him while Okarun calls the police, but Daiki was being followed by a gang who demand to hand him over. After activating his Turbo Granny powers, the gang realizes Okarun is just like Zuma. Daiki starts bawling as he doesn't want to go back after he just got out of there, but the duo resolves the fight and the three of them are brought to their hideout where a diorama is located.
Tension rises when the gang reveals that they want to throw Daiki back inside the cursed object to get Zuma out, as he was the one living inside in the first place. Daiki reveals that the cursed trunk was given to him when he was a 4th grader as a birthday gift, but when he touched it, he was transported inside Danmanra. He survived for many years, avoiding monsters and eating sweets, but when he decided to take his own life, a girl from the hideout approached him. As soon as he touched her hands, he was sent back to the real world and was offered to live inside Zuma's home to figure how to return to a normal life. Zuma swapped places with the girl to destroy the world and prohibited anyone from accessing the diorama. However it has been more than a week since he entered with the Golden Ball given to him by a mysterious figure, so they once again try to send Daiki inside. He tries to fend off the teenagers by swinging his sword, but Momo accidentally falls back and touches the diorama, disappearing.
He listens to Okarun and the gang discussing on what to do before he turns into his Turbo Granny form to run towards the Ayase residence. After the final boss is defeated and the final seal is broken, Fairy Tale Card gets freed inside the Danmanra. He explains how he freed the old man and the girl since they didn't want to play the game, but in the meanwhile they could tell everyone what they had seen and bring more people in the cursed trunk. Daiki and two girls are shown talking together, hoping to bring as many people as possible inside the diorama to make the rescue easier. Okarun recruits Turbo Granny, Rin and Mai to bring everyone out of Danmanra and Daiki is there assisting them. He gets scared when Mai turns into an eldritch form and surrounds Rin to put her inside her idol clothes. When the hip hop duo turns on the music and Rin starts singing, Daiki and the others start cheering her on.
Everybody gets brought out by Rin, but Fairy Tale Card is also able to escape by using Zuma's Umbrella Boy form. Later in the fight, the yokai begins possessing the teenagers with his powers, so Daiki and other still conscious members try to protect Rin from the attacks. Thanks to the efforts of Okarun, Count Saint-Germain, Rokuro and Masamichi Bega, the Fairy Tale Card is defeated and Daiki gets helped by the gang members after he got injured in the brawl and lost his helmet. In the following days Daiki, along with the hideout's friend group, together visit Zuma in the hospital, begging for his help. Zuma is surprised to see all of them safe, but insists to keep quiet to avoid disturbing the other patients.
Current Saga[]
Kozuka Knives Arc[]
Outside of Kami High, Renjaku's students start guarding the school's gate, intimidating anyone who tries to leave. The girls of the school ask Takakura to talk to them, so along with Vamola and Momo, he approaches them. Zuma recognizes Okarun and walks to him, demanding to see Ayase. After he discovers that she has turned small, he brings out a really old Daiki with a full grown white beard, explaining that he has been aging unnaturally since the whole Danmanra incident. Thanks to his dad Bega they were able to find his parents, though they treated it as a sick joke due to Daiki disappearing just four years ago. Upon hearing his story, Zuma felt sad for him and wanted to help him out. Momo agrees and asks him to come to her house, but the conversation is cut short when Jiji and Aira attack Zuma and retrieve Momo, believing he's one of the power users with the task of stealing Momo's powers just like Kouki.
