'''Gaku''' (Japanese: '''ガク''' ''Gaku'') is a character who appeared in ''[[PT21|Summer Days with Wartortle]]''. He is [[Rikuto]]'s father.

==History==
As a child, Gaku and his {{p|Eevee}} befriended a {{p|Wartortle}} in their home island. They worked together to build a water slide by a cliff's edge and left a time capsule buried in the sand. Some time later, Gaku left the island and had a son, [[Rikuto]].

Now as a father, Gaku returned to the island with Rikuto. While he and his mother, [[Shuri]], prepared dinner, he tasked his {{p|Leafeon}} to take care of Rikuto as they played outside, which then led the boy to also meet with Wartortle. Later that day, he also reunited with Wartortle and unburied the time capsule.
