Taraba

Taraba is a Blader who once bullied Tetsuya Watarigani at his early years.

Plot
While Echizen and Tetsuya were friends, an big blader called Taraba wanted to battle the 'so-called' strong blader called 'Echizen'.He had never seen him before though, therefore he accepted to fight Tetsuya instead, believing his name was Echizen. Taraba completely defeated Tetsuya, but he was later beaten by the latter when he joined with the crabs. He did not, however, die from being attacked by the crabs, seeing as he participated in part of Battle Bladers afterwards.

Trivia

 * Ironically, 'Taraba' is a kind of Japanese crab.
