Tetsuya Watarigani

is a mysterious recurring blader in Metal Fight Beyblade.

Appearance
He wears a crab shaped trench coat and has long wild hair. Before his friend 'betrayed' him, Tetsuya looked much better and more healthy compared to his present self.

Personality
When he was younger, Tetsuya seemed to be a nice, kind and softspoken person who always admired his best friend Echizen. After his friend ran away in cowardice from Taraba which yielded his beaten-up bey Gasher, he let go off all the feelings he had and only cared about winning using his dirty tricks and cheats. At some point he would pretend to feel touched, but in a matter of seconds his old personality shows, and seems unfazed and disgusted in talks of 'friendship'.

History
He was nice and happy at first until Taraba, the Wandering Blader asked which one is Echizen, but Echizen was afraid of Taraba so Tetsuya covered for Echizen and Tetsuya lost and Cancer has scratches all over it but Tetsuya was mad at Echizen for leaving him.
