Ryutaro Fukami

For some reason, Ryutaro's original (facial) design was changed for a more 'annoying kid' one in the comic version of Metal Fight Beyblade.

In the manga, Ryutaro is slightly overconfident and he easily overlooks certain details in his strategy, such as his Pisces' power being only effective on a horizontal level. As much as he hates losing, like everybody, he ends up accepting his fate and shakes Ginga's hand, almost promising that they will have a rematch.

On the contrary, in the anime, Ryutaro is a mysterious 'homeless' blader who spends his days telling people their fortune. Of course, his predictions are not always right, but he easily defeats people in Beyblade matches when they come back to him to complain. He is very inspired by the traditional Asian rituals and general things, as can be observed by the clothes he wears, the stylized fan he always holds, and all the accessories he otherwise has that are mostly seen in Asian countries. All his moves in beybattles breath a certain 'traditional Asian' essence. He often forms the shape of a star inscribed in a circle full of writings.

To get somebody's attention or silence, Ryutaro abruptly points his closed fan in their face. He otherwise likes to make fun of a few people, and he obviously tries to act like the wise, but evil one.

His special attack consists of distorting the area around him and, sometimes, getting his beyblade to emit a very strident sound that destabilizes the opponent. The other blader also gets to a point where he has the illusion that everything around him has disappeared except for the beyblades and Ryutaro.

Trivia
'Fukami' means 'deep', and Ryutaro is simply a name.
