Hyoma

Hyōma is one of the main characters of Metal Fight Beyblade and is Gingka Haganei's childhood friend.

Appearance
Hyoma wears a pair of hiking boots, he has light lavender hair and a pink V neck with an orange collar under a green open over shirt. He has bright blue eyes and a fair skin tone.

Personality
Hyoma is a very calm and level-headed person compared to Ginga's upbeat personality. He tends to be cautious in situations and most especially in bey battles. He cares for his childhood friend, Ginga, a lot as well like in the episode when he stalled Tsubasa and lost just for Ginga to make it to the last challenge match before Battle Bladers. Hyoma also has many fake personalities to deceive people; when he battled Gingka, he adopted an insane personality in order to motivate Gingka to beat him. He also acted like an oddball to weird out Kenta and Madoka when they first met.

He takes his role as defender very seriously and has no problem using deception or manipulation to defend his home, like when he was "helping" Kyoya, Kenta, Benkei, and Madoka reach Koma Village. He is a very skilled liar and is also very persuasive; he led them around in circles until he learned that they could be trusted

History
Hyōma is Ginga's childhood friend; they grew up in Koma village together. They used to battle at Green Hades a lot, where Hyoma always defeated him. This made Hyoma, Gingka's original number one rival. and after Ginga left he became the guardian of the village so that trespassers wouldn't find it after the Dark Nebula stole Lightning L-Drago 100 HF This is probably why he stayed in Koma village with Hokuto after Ginga won in Battle Bladers. It turns out that Ginga never won against Hyoma in the Green Hades stadium and finally after a long time Ginga beats him.

Beyblade Metal Fusion
One day while scouting he comes across two travelers named, Kenta Yumiya and Madoka Amano who claim to be looking for a boy named Gingka in Koma Village.

In order to test their trustworthiness, Hyoma puts on an act that he has no idea where or what Koma is. Hyoma also uses this chance to cypher information about his old friend Gingka Hagane from Kenta and Madoka as well. After he gets what he wants, Hyoma leads the two down a false path to Koma and disappears from their sight.

Hyoma then moves on to two more travelers named Kyoya Tategami and Benkei Hanawa former members of the Face Hunters gang who are seeking out the same person as the previous two. He deceives them by telling them that he was only in the mountains to collect honey, once again pretending he does not know where Koma is and even denies ever meeting Kenta and Madoka.

Kyoya seems to be suspicious of Hyoma when he saves Benkei from a boar, right after playing dumb about his knowledge of Beyblades. The two young travelers, Kenta and Madoka are met by Hyoma once again while still traveling with Benkei and Kyoya. Hyoma accidentally twists his stories around, making Kyoya even more suspicious of him. Hyoma then agrees to take them all to Koma Village, when in actuality he has no plans to do so.

Hyoma continues to lead the group in circles, deceiving them as he pretends to be a tour guide to the travelers. But Kyoya is able to see through his ruse and exposes Hyoma for lying, but Hyoma calmly plays dumb as if he has actually just gotten the group lost. But Kyoya refuses to allow Hyoma to lead them around aimlessly any longer, using his Leone to force Hyoma's hand, revealing his identity as a Beyblader.

Now that the travelers have discovered Hyoma, he remains silent, proclaiming that he'll only tell his secrets if someone among the group defeats Hyoma in a Beybattle. Kenta steps up as the first victim, whom Hyoma reads with ease. Hyoma deceives Kenta into believing he has the upperhand then quickly winds after outmaneuvering Flame Sagittario C145 S with his Aries.

Next, Benkei decides to battle Hyoma. Hyoma devises a strategy to infuriate Benkei to easily defeat his Bull. After this backfires, Hyoma relies on his skills to defeat Benkei and in the end he did just that. Hyoma deems it unnecessary to battle Kyoya and decides to truly and honestly guide them to Koma Village, feeling that they have proven themselves worthy to enter Koma Village. Revealing that he was testing them and that they are truly friends of Gingka and have the true Beyblader spirit.

It was then revealed that Hyoma was actually Ginga's childhood friend since they both lived and grew up in Koma village. Hyoma leads the group to Koma Village where he introduces them to his friend, Hokuto. They find out that Gingka has moved on past Koma Village to gain a scroll to make Pegasus more powerful. They convince Hokuto to take them to the mountain peak where Gingka is. On their way the group faces a difficult trial in which Hyoma witnesses the power of Gingka's friends in friendship which seems to be very powerful. And in that moment Gingka returns to meet them halfway. They all return to Koma Village with Gingka, and Hyoma's chance to speak with him comes, he invites him to the Bey Forest but Gingka brings his friends with him.

They explore the mountain ranges and the many Bey stadiums that Hyoma and Gingka have set up along the forest, where Hyoma finds out about Kyoya's skills in Beyblade and his "rivalry" with Gingka. Kyoya concluded that Gingka was so strong because he trained non stop with Hyoma.

Before leaving, Hyoma challenges Gingka to one last stop at Green Hades, a stadium where Hyoma always defeated Gingka in their youth. Hyoma proclaims that only he can see if Gingka has recovered from his journey because Hyoma is his true friend and rival. Hyoma takes a great advantage over Gingka thanks to the stadium and constantly banters that he knows everything about Gingka. But Gingka displays great new skills and an uncanny strategy to nullify Hyoma's advantage and defeat him. Hyoma is glad to see that Gingka's improved and asks him to continue getting stronger with his friends. Before Gingka moves on Hyoma and Hokuto see his friends off one last time.

Hyoma later decides to join the Survival Battle after hearing rumors about it, not wanting to pass up a good challenge. He meets with Gingka and his friends once again but moves on quickly, hoping to battle them later. While many people battle on and on in the Survival Battle on the island, Hyoma sits and waits, avoiding battle to wait out his opponents. But Hyoma is discovered by Kyoya who challenges him to a match, Hyoma is prepared since he had customized his Aries. Having battled in the forest his entire life, he obtains an advantage over Kyoya and is determined to have his rematch with Gingka. Though Hyoma nearly outwits Kyoya, Kyoya proves he can use strategy as well and tricks Hyoma by using Lion Gale Force Wall, costing him the match and his rematch with Gingka.

Having underestimated Kyoya, Hyoma was defeated and finished in the Survival Battle as one of the last Bladers to remain. Even so, Hyoma congratulates Kyoya and promises that he will battle him another time. Hyoma remains on the island to view the finals, where he notices that Kyoya's Leone received battle damage from their battle which is indirectly why Kyoya lost to Yu and was eliminated. Even so, Hyoma respects Kyoya's decision to take care of his Bey before it was too late, even if he was disqualified.

Hyoma also watched as Gingka was defeated by Yu and therefore attended the ending ceremony to celebrate Yu Tendos victory. That is where Yu announces the Beyblade World Championships, Battle Bladers. This interests Hyoma as it could be another chance to battle Gingka. He and his friends have a battle Royal before parting ways. And true to his heart, Hyoma joins the qualifying rounds to score points for entry into Battle Bladers.

He was later seen coincidentally meeting Kenta in a Challenge match for some points. Hyoma chose to go to the river side of the stadium, and Kenta went to the forest side. Both of them were clearing their competitors with ease until Yuu and Tsubasa come in to intervene; Yuu versus Hyoma and Tsubasa versus Kenta. Even if he chose the field of the battle which was a kind of rocky island terrain in the middle of a raging river, Yuu was able to beat him with Flame Libra's power. The same thing happened to Kenta with Tsubasa. At the end of the day though, they both treated the loss as a stepping stone to becoming stronger. So parting ways once again, they decided to train more so that they'll be able to compete in Battle Bladers.

Hearing about a particular challenge match, giving away a lot of points, Hyoma decides to participate, meeting up with all his friends there too. He is able to do just that as he advances in the tournament, making it to the final six Bladers of the challenge match.

The final match is set to be a free for all battle royal among the final six. Hyoma teams up with Kenta to take on the powerful Yu Tendo, but he is separated from Kenta and forced to take on the mysterious Tsubasa.

To Tsubasa's surprise, he is not the "weak" Blader he expected as Hyoma begins to display great skill, until Tsubasa uses an aerial attack to nullify Aries abilities and eliminate it, making Hyoma the first to be eliminated from the match. Hyoma is forced to watch as Yu eliminates himself, Tsubasa and Gingka while Kyoya defeats Kenta to win the match.

Even so Hyoma is able to make it to the Battle Bladers final among the sixteen remaining in Japan, after gaining 50,000 BeyPoints through challenge matches. He battles Tsubasa Otori to let Gingka head to a challenge match and after losing watches Gignka beat Phoenix and his Burn Fireblaze 135MS getting him into battle bladers. In the first round he is set to face a mysterious Blader, the creepy Reiji Mizuchi. Inspired by his friends victories over them, Kyoya and Tsubasa easily defeating Kumasuke Kumade and Reiki Sodo, Hyoma is pumped for his match. And to add, if Hyoma is victorious he will finally get his rematch with Gingka (who defeated the Dark Nebula's number 2 Yu), inspiring Hyoma further going into his first round battle.

Reiji is still a mystery to Hyoma and his friends who cannot find any amount of data on him except his Bey, Poison Serpent. Hyoma is still ready to win for his friends on the war against the Dark Nebula. During the battle, Reiji's Bey is more of the mystery as Hyoma tries to force out some information on it, but going obliviously into the battle is Hyoma's greatest disadvantage against Reiji, who knows all about Hyoma.

Even so Hyoma continues to fight hard, refusing to allow Reiji any leeway while still gaining some information on him. But for some reason, Hyoma is unable to figure out how to finish off Reiji, as he can't shake an uneasiness to where he can't think straight. It is apparent that Reiji is playing mind games with Hyoma, but Hyoma is able to calm down and clear his head in time to figure that Serpent isn't an average Bey after all, but even with a stronger attack, Reiji still stands strong.

In that moment Hyoma figures out Reiji's game, where he's been poisoning Aries with Serpent's special abilities, but it is too late. Reiji begins his counterattack and begins to dominate Hyoma. Hyoma desperately tries to fight back but is slowly broken down by Reiji's evil plan.

Hyoma becomes furious, throwing aside his calm traits in desperation to defeat Reiji but simply is not strong enough to stop Reiji's torture. It is because Hyoma was so strong that Reiji decided to thoroughly humiliate him, breaking Hyoma down to the point of tears. Even after pleading for the battle to end, Reiji attacks with a Dark Move, completely destroying Aries and crushing Hyoma's mind.

After Hyoma recovers from the battle, he sees that it is Gingka who is next to take on Reiji, who also defeated Yu Tendo as well as Kenta. He decides to stop lying around and goes to find Kenta so that he can support Gingka, but instead together they try to save Yu after seeing him taken by Daidouji. With Aries repaired, Hyoma prepares to battle for both he and Kenta as they move to save Yu's Bey from being absorbed by Ryuga's L-Drago.

Hyoma decides to hold off a large group of Dark Nebula Bladers while Kenta moves ahead to find Yu. Kenta is met by Doji who attacks him but Hyoma arrives in time to help but even so, they are still both defeated by Doji when he used Darkness howling blazer. Just as he prepares to feed both their Beys to Ryuga's dark power, they are saved by Gingka's father, Phoenix. Phoenix is able to defeat Doji and crack his Dark Wolf DF145 FS. Gingka then returns after defeating Reiji while Phoenix reveals himself to be Gingka's father, Hyoma being the only one who understands why he masked himself, so that he could watch Gingka go through these trials with friends.

Everyone returns to the stadium to view the semi final match between Kyoya and Ryuga but are surprised to see that once again, Ryuga dominates by defeating Kyoya. Now Gingka must go into battle in the finals against Ryuga, with all his friends supporting him even Hyoma who tells him that there are no regrets.

Gingka goes into his match with Ryuga, inspired to fight for Beybladers everywhere and even defeats him, but at the cost of losing Pegasus. But in the celebration everyone looks to a brighter future for Beybladers everywhere. He is then seen celebrating Gingka's victory in the final episode.

Beyblade: Metal Masters
After returning to Koma Village, he and Hokuto join with Gingka, Kenta and Madoka to hunt down the New Pegasus Bey. They successfully lead Gingka to Galaxy Pegasus which is sealed inside of a stone, which only Gingka was able to unlock.

After gaining Galaxy Pegasus and watching Gingka beat Masamune Kadoya, Hyoma and Hokuto bid there farewells to Gingka, while Hokuto returns home, Hyoma goes on a journey to help Gingka from behind the scenes.

Hyoma travels deep into the mountains to find an old foe reborn, Ryuga. Hyoma talks to Ryuga and convinces him to meet with Gingka in order to help him to control Galaxy Pegasus.
