Drake tends to be loyal to sticking to justice and tries to stop anything that he thinks is evil.

He has difficulty understanding some things, and also seems to be hiding some secret sadness.  
Drake tends to be loyal to justice and tries to stop anything that he thinks is evil. He appears to not be the smartest at times, as he will often become forgetful and get distracted from his self-imposed duties. He has difficulty understanding some things, and also seems to be hiding some secret sadness.  


In Chibi-Robo! Photo Finder, he asks Chibi-Robo for advice on justice, with a new question every day. He admits to only thinking about himself, and that he wants to be kinder, among many other paths the dialogue can go, showing a new desire to improve himself as a person along with improving his sense of justice.

==Physical Description==
==Physical Description==
Drake's costume resembles various 1970's Japanese superhero outfits like Neo-Human Casshern, or Gatchaman sporting a helmet with a blue visor, and a yellow V on his chest. His head is barely seen at times through the shield of his helmet, and when visible, it is shown that his "teeth" are always showing, as if looking furious. This trait is exclusive to his original appearance, as in Captain Rainbow, his chin protrudes and is the only visible part of his head while in Photo Finder, only part of his eyes are distinguishable. In his original appearance in Chibi-Robo Plug into Adventure, he has a blaster on the left side of his belt (meaning he may be left handed), while in Chibi-Robo Photo Finder, he doesn't have it along with his original belt, sporting a more thin one that includes a new design on the buckle rather than the original symbol. His design in Photo Finder makes him look less "blocky" as he looks more organic, and his helmet completely covers his face.  
Drake's costume is reminiscent of various 1970's Japanese superhero outfits like [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casshan Neo-Human Casshern] or [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_Ninja_Team_Gatchaman Gatchaman] . He sports a helmet with a blue (yellow in the U.S.) visor and a yellow V on his chest. His face can barely be seen through his visor, and when visible it is shown that his "teeth" are always showing, as if he's furious. He also has a blaster holstered on the left side of his belt, possibly indicating that he is right-handed. In later appearances like Captain Rainbow, his chin protrudes and is the only visible part of his head, while in Photo Finder only part of his eyes are distinguishable. Drake's design was changed drastically in Photo Finder: he instead sports a more thin belt that includes a new design on the buckle, his helmet completely covers his face, and he has a more organic design that makes him seem like a modern action figure.
