David "Dave" Seville is the secondary tritagonist of all the Chipmunk series and many of the films. He is The Chipmunks' adoptive father, confidant, and caretaker, the The Chipettes's father-in-law, Claire's boyfriend, Toby's older cousin, and Ian's former arch-rival and best friend.

Dave is the loving father of The Chipmunks, despite Alvin driving him crazy in most of the cartoon episodes and live-action films. Like any other single parent trying to raise three kids, Dave has his patience tested on a daily basis. Dave is actually based on the creator of Alvin and the Chipmunks and The Alvin Show, Ross Bagdasarian, Sr., whose stage name was David Seville. Bagdasarian, Sr. released many singles under this name before the creation of The Chipmunks.
