To put it simply, Dan is a joke. His presence in the game is merely for fun. In the Street Fighter Alpha series, Dan is portrayed as an overly confident boastful fighter with relatively poor abilities and skill. As a result, his depiction in Puzzle Fighter is pretty much the same, and the reason he is so poor should be obvious: his drop pattern in one solid color of red. If Dan does not quickly wipe out his opponent, most of the time his opponents will counter with one of the largest red Power Gems and links available in the game, for an unstoppable defeat. Dan vs. Dan matches tend to be very quick… and extremely fun. The properties of his attack pattern stuck with him during his appearance in Pocket Fighter where all of his attacks fail to liberate any color other than red Gems.

Dan shares the same background stage, as well as background tile, with Ken. His win icon, however, is different: it is the tengu mask of his father.
