Appearance
Ginga has flame-colored spiky hair with a streak of white in the manga. He wears a blue headband with Pegasus on it; but has only one wing where as his father's headband had two wings on it.He also has golden-brown eyes (black in the manga) and has a small white bandage on his nose. His usual clothes consist of a long-white scarf around his neck, a blue short-sleeved jacket, a plain orange shirt (red in the manga) ,white and blue gloves, a red and a brown belt around his waist, black pants and red-coloured shoes( grey in the manga). He keeps his beyblade gear on his belt so that he can quickly use it whenever needed.His launcher was grey, now his Digital Power Launcher is light blue.

In the Metal Fight Beyblade 4D manga,he gets the missing Pegasus wing on his headband making it resemble the one worn by his father.

Personality
Personality-wise, he appears to be pretty laid back. He is often seen sleeping in awkward places and most of the time he does whatever he feels like doing. But, if he gets pushed to the edge, he'll do whatever it takes to protect his friends from harm. He battles from heart and never gives up. When his friends cheer for him, there is no way he can lose to anyone. He is really good at Beyblading and always believes that Attack, Defense and Stamina don't matter in battle at all, but your spirit. That belief has also helped in out in bleak situations. When Ryuga says bad about his father, Ginga is like he's gone mad, his eyes turns red and red aura can be seen wrapping around his body.When he is cheerful and gets famous,and when the referee asks what's the secret behind his power,he says that its the hamburgers that he eats.Eating hamburgers gives him more power.Especially Madoka's hand made hamburgers that are very tasty.He also announces about Madoka's hamburgers in front of the public on TV and tells that she is the best beyblade mechanic in the whole world.That makes Madoka shy.



History
Ginga was born 12 years before the main storyline. When Ginga was about 8 yrs old, an evil organization called Dark Nebula appeared to steal the forbidden Bey, Lightning L-Drago. When his father said that they maybe after the Forbidden Bey he went to the volcano. Because of Ginga's curiosity he followed Ryussei. After Ryusei lost the battle with Ryuga, rocks from the volcano fell apart and crashed to him. Before this moment he let Pegasus save Ginga and have Pegasus in Ginga's possesion. After Ryusei officially gave him his Beyblade supposedly died. However, it is revealed in later episodes that Ryusei is still alive (disguised as Phoenix).

The Beginning


During the start of the anime, Ginga Hagane, is seen walking around the city, not just that but sleeping in unusual places like on top of a water tank. A little after that, he ran into a group of beyblade thugs called the Face Hunters  who was bullying someone named  Kenta. The five Face Hunters that were there had then challenged Ginga to a 5 VS 1 handicap match, which he easily beat them without even trying. Kenta was happy that someone was there to save the day, and even someone to look up to. Not long after that they both became good friends and went to the Bey Park together. During their first conversation alone at the park, Kenta asked Ginga where he lives. Ginga revealed to Kenta that he has been traveling around the country looking for someone challenging enough to battle him.

One of the Face Hunters, Benkei, had proposed a challenge for Ginga, for him to meet them at a construction site. As soon as Ginga got there, one hundred face Hunters' thugs were there waiting with their beyblades eager to battle Ginga. After one hundred beyblades were launched, Ginga remains calm and un-phased by this. Soon after Kenta appears, is worried about Ginga, he says to him that this isn't a beybattle, for him to run. Still, Ginga isn't afraid; he reassures Kenta that everything will be fine. Ginga then decides to get serious and launches Storm Pegasis. Ginga unleashes some of the power from Storm Pegasis, knocking away the one hundred beyblades with ease; he even summons his beast Pegasis to finish the job knocking all those blades away. After Ginga beat the one hundred Face Hunters who challenged him, their leader, Kyoya  challenged him to a battle.

Later that day, at the City Bowl, Ginga is seen beyblading against some kids, which he easily defeats their blades in a single swipe. All the kids there got so excited that a strong blader like Ginga had challenged them to a beyblade match. Then a girl named Madoka is seen watching from the background. Madoka took both Ginga, Kenta to the B-Pit, a Beyblade shop in town (which is also her house) and decided to help them out.

Later that day, the Face Hunters took off with Kenta's Sagittario, telling Ginga that if he didn't come to the Metal Tower that something bad will happen to Kenta's bey. After Ginga arrived at the Metal Tower, he began his battle with Kyoya. After Ginga won the battle, Sagittario was given back to Kenta. Little did Ginga know...one of his enemies, Daidoji from the Dark Nebula Organization has returned and they want him dead. That day, Kenta wanted to prove to Ginga to be a worthy opponent in battle so Ginga wouldn't leave town to find other strong opponents. Ginga accepted Kenta's challenge, decided to beybattle him. Kenta proved to be a worthy opponent, but Ginga won the battle using his first finishing move, Shooting Star Attack. Ginga explained to Kenta that he liked the city, so he wasn't going to leave.

After Daidoji gave Benkei the bey, 'Dark Bull', Benkei goes crazy. Later, Ginga sees an enraged Benkei and battles him and won. Not just that, but the next day, some guy named Tetsuya  kidnapped Madoka, demanded a battle with him, which Ginga won of course.

A female blader named Hikaru  shows up in Metal Bey City, and wanted to battle against Ginga. Well, it didn't turn out the way she wanted as Kenta battled her in Ginga's place since he got sick.

Dark Nebula continues to manipulate Kyoya into thinking that Ginga is the bad guy. While that is happening, Daidoji asks the main computer (Merci) to gather more data on Ginga. Merci lured Ginga into an outhouse, which then Merci tricks Ginga into thinking that he's on TV. After Merci gathered enough data on Ginga, he kicked him out then left. The whole time Ginga had no idea that it was a trap to gather data on him.

Daidoji then sent Kyoya back to the city to battle against Ginga for his second time. Both Benkei and Kenta had fought Kyoya that day. After their loss against Kyoya, they both returned to the B-Pit, but Benkei was more injured then Kenta. That night, a furious Ginga found Kyouya, battled it out with him. Later in the battle, many kids showed up to watch Ginga's battle against Kyoya, cheered him on. After Ginga won, a helicopter from above appeared. The person that came out of the helicopter gave Ginga a startling surprise. Ginga was shocked to see that it was Daidoji, one of the people from the Dark Nebula Organization that was responsible for the supposed death of Ginga's father. Kyoya fought against Daidoji, but not too long after, the fight came to a halt and Daidoji left. Madoka, Kenta, Benkei had no idea what was going on, demanded an answer from Ginga. At first Ginga was reluctant to tell them anything, but then after his friends convinced him, he told them about Dark Nebula. After they found Kyoya, they all decided to go to the Dark Nebula castle to help Ginga to defeat them. Once Ginga reaches Daidoji's castle peak Daidoji asks Ginga to join him, he refuses and they start to battle which Ginga wins, their battle awakens Ryuga and L Drago, Ginga and Ryuga start beyblading and Ryuga wins easily and effortlessly, leaving Ginga shocked.

Later the next day,Ginga had a dream about losing his pegasis to Ryuga and L-Drago.Kenta then forces Ginga to tell him why Ginga was so upset about Ryuga mocking his dad.Ginga then explains that when he is about 8, the Dark Nebula Organization came to his village(Coma Village) and wanted to take the forbidden bey Lightning L-Drago away.His dad and him went to stop Daidoji and Ryuga which resulted in a battle.Ryusei,Ginga's dad,whom had lost to Ryuga passed Storm Pegasis to Ginga in hopes that Ginga could one day defeat L-Drago.The cave that they were in started to crumble while Daidoji and Ryuga escaped.Ginga also managed to get out but his dad was still trapped in there.From that day,Ginga's dad was known as "dead" and Ginga decided to go on a journey to become stronger with pegasis and defeat L-Drago.That was his true purpose.

And later the next day, Ginga wrote a letter to them saying goodbye and left.After reading the letter,his friends were shocked and went out to look for him.It was revealed that Ginga had lost his mojo and went back to Coma village.Then,at the village,Hokuto(a talking dog)tells him about a legendary blader whom can give Ginga more power.He tells him that he needs to climb the snowy mountain and find the scroll despite all the obstacles.Ginga then went off.It was only at that moment that his friends arrived.After finding the scroll,the legendary blader was revealed to be his father whom had predicted the day Ginga will lose.After reading the scroll,he regains his blader spirit and reunites with his friends.

Hyoma,Ginga's childhood friend whom came with the rest of the gang, then shows the gang around Coma Village.Hyoma then challenges Ginga to a battle at the green hades.It was to test if Ginga had full recovered or not.It was not easy as Ginga had never won Hyoma before.After a series of attack from pegasis,Ginga finally managed to beat Hyoma and later returns to the Bey Park.

While Madoka was examining through saggitario and bull,ther was an error and she reassembled the two beys wrongly causing the two beys to change type.Then,there was a tag team tournament and Kenta and Benkei entered it.After winning consecutive battles whillst changing their bay parts,they finally came to lose some of the parts.Ginga then steps up and gave them an advice saying that they did not came this far because of their changing technique,it was actually because of their own skill.After that,the tag team won the tournament.

Later,the WBBA decided to open the survival battle.It was a battle of 1000 bladers and the last blader left standing will be granted 1 wish.

Ginga and co. entered.After a few battles,Ginga and Madoka saw a beam of light in green blasting off from a distance away.They then went to the site and saw Kenta,Benkei and Hikaru lying in sand.It was actually revealed that a blader,Yu Tendo whom helped Kenta after he was hurt from a battle with Tetsuya Wataragani,knocked them out with his bey,Flame Libra,with one blow.After which,there was only 4 bladers remaining.They were Ginga,Kyoya,Yu and Madoka.The four are going to battle in the final match.(it was announced by the blader dj)Ginga,Kyoya and Yu started first.Kyoya demanded to be the one to beat Yu and fight Ginga and so targeted Yu.After the 2 bladers used their special moves,Kyoya's Leone started acting weird and was reavelead that it was damaged from a battle with Hyoma.Kyoya did not realised that so Madoka went to interrupt the battle when she launched her bey into the tornado created by Leone.It created a massive explosion.Kyoya then realises his mistake and forfeited the match.

Yu and Ginga then continued thei battle.Yu unleashes Libra's true power.Ginga then used starblast attack to try and defeat Libra.Despite the powerfull move,Libra survives and defeated Pegasis.When Yu told everyone his wish,it was actually that he wanted to open a tournament called Battle Bladers.Out of nowhere,the Dragon Emperor appears and so did Daidoji in a helicopter. Daidoji explains that he will be taking charge of the events that will happen at Battle Bladers and that only bladers with 50000 points could compete in the tournament.It was also told that Yu was one of the Dark Nebula bladers.The bladers were given a time limit of 3 months to store up to 50000 points before the opening of Battle Bladers.He then left and Ginga turned to Ryuga and wanted to settle the score they had before.Ryuga lanches his bey from the helicopter while GInga launches his from the ground.Ryuga interrupted the battle by saying that if Ginga wants to battle Ryuga,it would have to be at Battle Bladers.Ginga then says that he will be looking forward to Battle Bladers and everyone cheeres after him while the Dark Nebula Orginization leaves.
