Drift Jaku (Japanese: ドリフト=ジャッカー, Dorifuto=Jakkā, Drift=Jacker) is a Special-Type Core Change System B-Daman owned by Asuka Kami in the B-Daman Crossfire anime. It was released in Japan on April 28, 2012 for 788円.
Body Set: Jaku Body
Head Part: Jaku Head
Jaku's Head Part has a fin on top of it like a peacock's plumage, along with purple eye designs, a circle in the forehead, and a red visor in an open beak.
Arm Parts: Jaku Arm
The shoulders on this B-Daman's Arm Parts are of a conical shape consisting of peacock feathers, along with two additional feathers curved to resemble humanoid arms.
Stud Parts
This B-Daman has light gray Stud Parts.
Leg Part: Jaku Leg
Jaku Leg has a "Carbine/Curve Mode" gimmick, with a hinged ramp at its back. To achieve the change to Carbine/Curve Mode, the user must rotate the Leg Part 180 degrees so that the ramp would be in front of the Core Part, allowing one to point the B-Daman downwards and fire curved Carbine/Curve Shots.
Core Part: Drift
Drift has a long trigger (almost as long as Double Drazeros'), two Hold Parts, and an adjustable ring at the front that has a semi-translucent rubber strip. The rubber strip can be rotated for either back-spin shots, or narrow-/wide-angled Carbine Shots in the B-Daman's Carbine Mode.
Overall
In spite of the gimmicks possessed by Drift, it isn't a very powerful Core Part on its own. However, it may be useful for Control Type customizations, especially if you add the Power Manteau for an extra boost in its overall power.

Trivia
- In its Japanese name, Jacker's name originates from "kujaku", which is the Japanese term for "peacock".
- Drift Jaku is the latest known B-Daman that can fire curved shots when aimed downwards, with Stag Cerberus from Super B-Daman coming before it. Coincidentally, it is also the latest known B-Daman that can fire curved shots, with the gimmick's inception in November 1995's release of Golden Bomberman in Super B-Daman.
