Jacob Kowalski was an American No-Maj who lived in the early 20th century.

Kowalski fought in the First World War in the 1910s. Returning to the United States, he found work in a cannery, but dreamt of becoming a baker. In 1926, shortly after breaking up with his girlfriend, he met Newt Scamander, a British wizard who stopped in New York City on his travels to find and document magical creatures, and through him was introduced to the wizarding world.

Jacob was present when the magical creatures escaped Newton Scamander's suitcase and was attacked by a murtlap. He later manages to befriend a Demiguise.

Daniel "Dan" Kevin Fogler is an American actor, voice-over artist, filmmaker, playwright, graphic novelist, stand-up comedian and musician. He is currently filming the role of Jacob Kowalski for the upcoming J.K. Rowling screen adaptation of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
