Lucas (Japanese: コウキ Kōki) is the male player character of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. The female counterpart is Dawn. If the player chooses Dawn, he will become Rowan's assistant for the game. Lucas lives in Sandgem Town with his little sister, grandfather, and father - who works as an assistant of Professor Rowan. He is already the Professor's assistant at the beginning of the game. He also demonstrates to the player how to capture Pokémon by capturing a wild Bidoof.

The character Diamond from the Pokémon Special manga is based off of the design of Lucas.

His English name is derived from "lux", the Latin root word for light, while his Japanese name is a reference to the Japanese word for "brightness" (光輝 kōki), much like Hikari means light (光). It is also similar to 金剛石 kongōseki, a Japanese word for diamond.

Trivia

• Like Pearl having one of his default Japanese names being Shigeru, one of Lucas's default names is Satoshi. In English translations "Ash" is one of default names for Lucas, but there is no "Gary" among Pearl's names. However, this was apparently recognized in German and Korean translations, which also have Ash's and Gary's name as one of Lucas's and Pearl's names.
• One of Lucas's optional names include Todd in English translation and トオル Tōru (Todd's Japanese name) in Japanese translations. Other language versions do not catch this. Another name from the show is Jimmy. This one, however is probably coincidental.
  • Another of Lucas's optional names is Mark, the name of the male protagonist from the Game Boy TCG games.
• The majority of his Japanese default names are shared with Red from FireRed and LeafGreen.
• Lucas is 4'7" (145 cm) tall and weighs 83.8 lbs (38 kg).
• Lucas and Dawn are asked if they are a couple by Mars during the Lake Acuity battle: "So what is it? Are you some lovey-dovey couple to the rescue?"
• After the player defeats the Sinnoh Elite Four and becomes the Champion, Lucas will stay at the front side of Rowan's laboratory in Sandgem Town (if the player chose Dawn). If the player has set the birthday date on the DS Settings, he'll say the following in conversation when talked to on that day:

"Hey,<player's name>? Is it maybe your birthday today?"

If "Yes":

"I thought so! Congratulations, <player's name>! You know, I'm glad we're friends!"

If "No":

"Huh? It isn't? Now, what made me think it was your birthday? Freaky weird."

• Dawn and Lucas were shown to be holding Repeat Ball in their Platinum artwork, while May and Brendan are holding Premier Ball in their Emerald artwork.
