Jim makes his debut in episode 106 in the anime as a foreign student (Hailing from the Duel Academy South School*) who has come to the main Duel Academy at the start of the year. In the Japanese version, Jim frequently speaks in Engrish, including phrases such as; "WHAT!?", "Sorry! Sorry!", "Are you okay!?", "INCREDIBLE!" as well as also giving nicknames to Asuka and Kenzan as "Tomorrow Girl" and "Dino Boy".
Obviously hailing from Australia, Jim appears to be based on Australians such as Crocodile Dundee and as some fans like to believe, Steve Irwin. Jim's name originates from the protagonist in "Crocodile Dundee" (*Michael J. "Crocodile" Dundee"*) and a South Australian Train Station named "Cook".
Jim is never seen without Karen, a crocodile he carries in a special backpack on his back. If something upsets Karen or gets her angry, it appears Jim is the only one who knows how to calm her down and he always seems to know exactly what she's thinking. If a wild animal apposes Jim, he uses Karen who is more than happy to scare the animal away. He also considers Karen not to be a pet, but more as family. Jim is very much a nature man who knows a lot about Geology and Archeology.

Usually Jim is seen as quite an upbeat and happy guy who can provide useful information about Geology or Archeology when needed, he also always seems up for a challenge. Not much is currently known about his or Karen's past.
