Dante was raised by a single mother alongside his two younger sisters. He can remember only a handful of visits from his father, and was raised by his mother and maternal grandmother. Dante became fascinated with renaissance paintings and modern interpretations of classical art after a field trip to an art museum. He began drawing and eventually moved on to painting. He soon found his canvases too small to portray his visions and began painting on abandoned and soon-to-be demolished structures. He soon moved further into the city to more permanent eyesores to brighten up the neighborhood. As his work gained popularity he started a blog to save photos of his work and share it. At that point he coined the alias 'Radioactivity' and gained an influx of fans who began buying the buildings, walls and doors that he painted on. Most were kept by collectors (Akihiro being one of them) but some sold for thousands of dollars.

Eventually city officials began noticing the increase in tourism and the revitalization of the city and began to create public spaces for Dante to paint, as well as allowing him to continue his painting without the threat of arrest for vandalism. Dante began realizing the value in his art and after considering it for a bit, he placed a piece on auction himself. The piece was a piece he called 'Daylily'. 'Daylily' was part of a series of fifteen paintings he made of various people he had seen in his dreams. While a force in him compelled him to sell 'Daylily', that same force compelled him to keep the other fourteen paintings. 'Daylily' sold for over a million pounds, which he was able to use to move his family into a house and put the rest up for his sister's college fund. Dante began selling smaller pieces on his blog as online bids, but kept the majority of his art free to the public. Dante received a letter from Hope's Peak similar to the rest of his non-Japanese classmates and moved to Japan to attend normal classes until the new school year started. 

During his time at Hope's Peak Academy Dante bonded with all 15 of his fellow classmates, but was closest to Akihiro, Michael, Keiko, Jackie and Amato. He was especially close to Akihiro, who he began dating a few months after they met. After their graduation, they were offered enrollment at Hope's Peak University, an experimental college for Ultimates. Dante, along with his 15 other classmates accepted, and spent the remaining time leading up to The Tragedy there.

Once The Tragedy started, Class 75^th was evacuated by Rahul's father, as well as their families. The group was eventually contacted to become part of the Future Foundation. They accepted, returning to Japan and fighting against the Despairs and attempting to rescue Class 78^th. Shortly after, Makoto Naegi reached out to them to assist in helping the Remnants of Despair be rehabilitated, which Dante was a part of.

After the world began returning to normal, both branches of Hope's Peak were reopened, and Dante along with Class 75^th returned to classes.
