Although the dub implies that Drake is merely a fifth [[Gym Leader]] in the Orange League, the Japanese version specifically uses the title [[Head Leader]] to denote his importance. Additionally, Drake is not necessary a [[League Champion]], either, given that it is not clarified whether or not he ever actually had to defeat a previous Head Leader in order to take the title (though it is suggested). In the ''[[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]'' manga, he is referred to as the Orange Crew Supreme Gym Leader. Ash battles him in ''Surf's Up, Pikachu''.

In both anime and manga, Ash was the first person to defeat Drake in Orange League history. Many trainers never even got past Drake's first Pokémon, {{p|Ditto}}, apparently losing their cool seeing a copycat defeat their own Pokémon. Before Ash's challenge, Drake seemed bored and wondered if anyone would ever defeat him. He keeps his prized {{p|Dragonite}}'s [[Poké Ball]] around his neck.

Regardless of his English name and his affinity for {{type2|Dragon}} [[Pokémon]], Drake apparently has no relation to either [[Drake (Elite Four)|Drake]] of the [[Hoenn League]] nor [[Lance]] of the [[Indigo League]].
