Wiz (character)

nihongo|Wiz|ウィズ|Wizu|or With is a fictional character in the anime and manga series "D.N.Angel" created by Yukiru Sugisaki. Wiz is voiced by Mariela Ortiz in the English dub. In the Wink drama CDs, he's voiced by Megumi Toyoguchi.

Brief description

Wiz is the family pet of the Niwa family and Dark's familiar, responding to Dark's call no matter where he is and transforming into a black, winged creature that becomes Dark's wings by clinging to his back. He can also perform other transformations, for example impersonating Dark or Daisuke, but isn't very adept at communicating and does not like learning new words. He hates water, can't swim, is afraid of scary movies, and hates Krad.

In the English manga translation, "With" is also known as "Wiz". Wiz also learns to talk, but says "Daisuki!" instead of "Daisuke," which can be interpreted differently from Japanese ("dai" means "big" and "suki" means "like" in Japanese, so "Daisuki" means "really like" or can even mean "love," which translates into the English anime as "I like you").

Identity

Wiz is Daisuke Niwa's beloved and adorable pet. Wiz transforms into Dark’s wings and is also able to transform into Daisuke or Dark (although more commonly Daisuke when his feelings causes him to gain Dark's appearance, but with Dark asleep, Daisuke keeps his personality).
