==Summary==
Masamune Kadoya (角谷 正宗, Kadoya Masamune) is one of the main protagonists of the Beyblade Metal Series. He is also a member of Team GanGan Galaxy and Team Dungeon. Masamune has great enthusiasm toward Beyblade, always referring to himself as the number 1 blader of all. After his best friend Toby became ill, Masamune vowed to do his best in order to become number 1, even going as far as to track down the champion of Battle Bladers, Gingka, to defeat him and become a member of Japan's representative team in the Beyblade World Championships. Despite being overconfident, Masamune always puts his full effort into improving as a blader and to help his friends time and time again, even against the God of Destruction. His partner Beyblade is Ray Striker, who evolves into Blitz Striker by the time of Metal Fury to become more powerful.
