Bakugan Battle Brawlers is a Japanese anime TV series. The story centers on the lives of creatures called Bakugan and the battle brawlers who wield them. Consisting of fifty-one episodes, Bakugan Battle Brawlers debuted in Japan on TV Tokyo in 2007. Nelvana Limited produced the English language version and premiered the series on the Canadian network Teletoon later the same year, but with 52 episodes.

In conjunction with the anime series, Sega Toys and Spin Master released a strategic game, called Bakugan, using metal cards and magnetic spring-loaded miniature figures.

Young Dan Kuso's life changed one day when random cards fell out of the sky, where he and his friends invented a game called Bakugan with those cards. Together with his friends Runo, Marucho, Julie, Shun, and Alice, the Bakugan Battle Brawlers are formed and they accidentally dragged into fighting for the fate of Vestroia (the Bakugan's home dimension) against Masquerade, Hal-G, and the Bakugan Naga.

It is the story of a galaxy called Vestroia which loses its natural balance and joins with the human world. The creatures of this galaxy are called Bakugan according to humans. One of the evil Bakugan called Naga got tempted and decided to take the silent core. Naga was also accompanied by a Human called Michael in his task. So Dan and his friends decided to bring back balance by destroying Naga, as he has the silent core and wants to find the infinity core.

The strategic card game, called simply Bakugan, was developed by Sega Toys and Spin Master and released in conjunction with the anime series. The game uses metal cards and magnetic spring-loaded miniature figures, called Bakugan. The objective of the game is to capture three of the opponent's gate cards or defeat all their Bakugan.
