Kenta Yumiya

is a first grader who loves to Beyblade. He is one of the main protagonists in the story.

Appearance
Kenta has bright green hair with brown eyes. He wears a yellow t-shirt with a blue stripe running across the chest and a pair of blue shorts with blue and white trainers and white socks. He is not very tall-slightly shorter than Yu Tendo. He has a big bey spirit.

Personality
Since Kenta is a beginner beyblader, he doesn't have that much confidence in his skills. This was shown when he was up against Benkei and the gang, he didn't want to battle them because he knew he was going to lose. That changed when he met Ginga and soon Kenta wanted to be as strong as he was. He seems to see Ginga as a kind of idol.

Kenta is very kind and caring and if ever he notices something wrong with his friends, he would always be concerned for him/her and asks what's wrong. He was upset when he thought that Ginga left town without telling him since he believes that they are very good friends. Kenta is always there for his friends. He is one loyal blader who never gives up in whatever he does.

History
Not much is known about Kenta's past or who his relatives are. But in the first episode, it was indirectly mentioned that he's been in to beys for some time.

In episode 7, He received special training from Benkei and a metal face from Madoka, and was able to develop a special move to defeat Hikaru in a rematch.

In episode 13, he watched Gingka's battle with Ryuga.

In episode 14, Gingka told him about his past in Koma village, and how he got Pegasus. Kenta challenged him to a battle, but it was getting late, and Kenta went home.
