Kyoya Tategami

is the leader of the Face Hunters, a gang of beybladers who are after the "Face" part of a Bey.

Appearance
He has black hair, with blue eyes, and wears a green jacket that looks ripped up. He wears a black t-shirt that's ripped up and ends up to his belly button. He has dark brown gloves with brown pants and dark brown shoes. He apparently also has sharp teeth and huge eyes, with a scar under each of the eyes. It is unknown how he got them.

Personality
At the beginning he is very cocky. After quitting alliances with Daidouji, he is on the good side. He becomes more mature and more wiser. He is best friends with Benkei, but he got fed up with him trying to get close to him. In the manga, he is much more friendlier and talks a lot more than he does in the anime.

Anime
Kyoya is seen to be an exceptional battler. He has won 60% of his matches, three of his losses being to Ginga. His loss to You was because Madoka kicked Leone out.

Beyblades
Leone 145D: is Kyōya's first Beyblade he uses in the manga.

Rock Leone: In the anime, Kyōya started out with Rock Leone instead of Leone 145D. He still retains his attack "Lion Windstorm Wall" from the manga. Rock Leone is a defense type beyblade. It acts just like Dranzer in the old series: fast and ferocious.

Beast/Finishing Moves
Rock Leone is the Beast inside Kyoya's Bey and is one of the Zodiac Operative signs.
