Reiji Mizuchi

is a character in the Metal Fight Beyblade Anime and Manga.

Appearance
He has red hair with a blonde streak running through the front of his fringe. He has eyes which are a bright yellow just like the eyes of a serpent that hide underneath his hair. He wears a long blue shirt with a snake scale pattern across the bottom of his shirt along with a scale pattern on the cuffs on the arms. He also wears a pair of black jeans and has within his hair a pair of what appear to be clips with the look of snake's eyes.He often walks as though he's drunk, wavering and never actually walking straight and he tends to point a lot as well.

Personality
Mizuchi has a rather dark and cold personality. He usually keeps silent during his bey battles except for when he will speak to strike fear in his opponents heart. Mizuchi has a rather sadistic side to him such as when he was battling against Hyouma. When Mizuchi started to unleash several serpents from his beyblade and they started to attack Hyouma's Aries. Hyouma started to beg Mizuchi to stop.

But this results in no effect due to Mizuchi then laughing sadisticly and then unleashing his dark spin technique Venom Genicide. After Aries was severely damaged and Hyouma was screaming. Poison Serpent returned to Mizuchi's hand and he walked with a smirk on his face.

It is also clear that when Mizuchi was facing Kenta that he did not understand that Beyblade was fought using the bladers feeling and heart. This caused him to go insane and then unleased his dark spin technique again which destroyed Flame Saggittario.

Overall Mizuchi is a character with a cold, super insane and sadistic personality who enjoys to destroy his opponents Beyblade without any regard for their feelings.
