Revivals

Revision as of 17:35, 27 April 2007

The Revivals are a team in the sport of beyblading. While they take much of their origins from the BBA Revolution (formerly known as the Bladebreakers), the team seems to have its own identity. Other teams have been more focused on beyblading; the Revivals tend to focus on their real passions, letting those passions fuel and help control their beyblades during bouts. For each member, their passion is different: Takeshi's is kendo, Minoru likes the magical world and cooking (don't ask), Shinnen is an artist, Renji lives and breathes martial arts, Natsumi enjoys reading, and Kouun loves wiring computers (and anything electronical).

Kinomiya Takeshi

Born to Kinomiya Takao and his wife, Takeshi lives and breathes kendo. While he's also the captain of the Revivals, he originally knew nothing about the sport, despite his father being a world champion, and his uncle being the head of the BBA. Over time, however, he's become almost (if not just as) good as his father with his beyblade. Takeshi's bitbeast is Seiryuu, inherited from his father. As a Renaldi, his weapon is a long broadsword which he uses rather skillfully for being fifteen; in the beyblading world, his beyblade is the Dragoon D-Merge. Generally, Takeshi is rather cheerful and upbeat, though he can be stubborn, rude, and rather proud of his kendo abilities.

Kon Renjiro

Born to Kon Rei and Mao, Renjiro (Renji for short) is the voice of reason within the Revivals. While he's not as skilled in the others, he prefers balance and endurance, similarly to how he practices his passion: martial arts. He has been compared somewhat to the principles of Yin and Yang before - he can be calm, but be somewhat violent at the same time. His bitbeast, Byakko, was inherited from his father. As a Renaldi, he prefers to use his fists and feet in battle, though he has given in and uses claw gauntlets in battle once in a while. In the beyblading world, his beyblade is the Driger D-Merge.

Hiwatari Shinnen

The middle child of Hiwatari Kai and Tachibana Hitomi, Shinnen was born and raised in Russia (but his siblings, Gou and Risa, were raised in Japan with their mother). The boy obviously wants to act like his father, probably to win his affection (as Kai was a CEO and didn't have much time for his son). However, at heart, 'Nen' is an artist who loves to draw the world around him and the people in his world. His bitbeast is Suzaku, and like the others, his beyblade is the Dranzer D-Merge. When in the mage world, Nen is a fire mage who fights with a paintbrush (yes, a paintbrush) or a whip, depending on the situation.

Kouun

Kouun, more commonly known as 'Koutan', is the mechanic for the team. While he doesn't often fight in the mage world or in the beyblading arena, his knowledge about both worlds has been indispensible to the team when they were in tight spots. When he's not researching, playing video games, hanging out with his friends, or wiring computers, Koutan often helps his mother in the ramen shop his family owns. His weapon of choice is his computer, but as a Renaldi, he holds his own with a yo-yo.

Trivia

• For those who actually follow BSB, correct me if I'm not following the correct procedure: the bitbeasts are named by their Japanese names, but the beyblades are called by the dub names of the bitbeasts.
• Gou, Makoto, and Rin are actually the canon kids in BSB. However, their story has ended by the time their siblings has come along (or in Rin's case, it's beginning with the other kids).
