When Ted begins to experience the symptoms of "drift fever", DK reappears, attempting to persuade Ted to give up his impossible dream of becoming a great rhythm gamer and to embrace his love and talent for drift racing. DK can be briefly seen in the Season 1 finale talking with Ted, after the latter has embraced his path as a drift racer, before Ted goes to speak with Ki and his father.

Ernie Calhoun[]

Sergeant Ernie Calhoun (Harley Morenstein) is the Dean of VGHS. He does not believe that Brian D has what it takes to be a pro gamer and takes any chance he can to get Brian out of VGHS during Season 1. However, throughout Seasons 2 and 3, he is seen to become increasingly affectionate towards Brian D. Their relationship's growth is observed through his appearance Brian D's Leetmus party. Brian D's trust towards Calhoun is once again proven when he calls Calhoun to get him out of jail after having been caught drinking and riding in a Barcycle. Some may even go as far to say that Calhoun is a father figure to Brian, who's only parent (his mother) is too occupied by video games to even visit his son during Parent Visiting Day, and instead sends the family cat, Cheeto. He lives by his motto "It's all about the Game." He is is also allergic to Tuna, and is seen to be carried away due to it at Jenny Matrix's speech in Season 2.

Freddie Wong[]

Freddie and Ted have a complicated relationship, with Freddie being quite resentful of his son and his ineptitude at rhythm gaming. When Ted (with the help of Ki) tries to get his father's blessings for taking up drift racing instead of rhythm gaming, Freddie dissuades him from the path and tells him that it's his destiny to be a rhythm gamer. When Ki signs up for rhythm gaming instead, Wong torments her by not giving her homework. He is seen on occasion throughout the second and third seasons. In season 3, episode 4, Freddie gets into a motorcycle accident and dies. Ted talks about his dad and their complicated relationship while in grief.

Games Dean[]

Games Dean (Benji Dolly), sometimes simply called Games, is a student and a member of JV FPS team at VGHS. His name is based on "James Dean," as he is introduced as a cool and suave ladies man. Initially an antagonistic force to Brian D, Games Dean is an ambitious student who seeks to advance himself and climb the social pyramid, and proclaims to Brian during their confrontation in Episode 6 that it's "Games time"—an obvious play on his name ("Games time"/"Game's time"). Brian and Games eventually put aside their differences and become friends. Dean is often seen with other members of the JV team including Jumpin' Jax, Rapwnzel, and Moriarty. He runs the school paper and news show, both called "The Daily Dean." He later reveals that he has feelings for teammate Moriarty.
