Tsubasa Ootori is one of the main characters from the Metal Fight Beyblade series.
== Charactah Account ==
Tsubasa is a Blader and a secret-agent of the WBBA who went undercover within the Dark Nebula before the events of Battle Bladers. He later became the third member of Team GanGan Galaxy with Gingka Hagane, Masamune Kadoya, Yu Tendo and, Madoka Amano in Big Bang Bladers. He is a fair fighting, calm headed Beyblader who wishes to soar like his Earth Eagle 145WD.
Tsubasa is a strong Blader who is generally self-possessed, nice, intelligent, aloof, perceptive, adapatable, kind. He is a strong tactician who is very adaptable especially during tough points in a battle and utilizes all his senses during battles. Later, he is plagued by a dark side that undermines his strengths as his self-confidence in his battling style.
When he first appeared, Tsubasa is very adaptable character and seems like a nomad willing to help anyone. However, that perception changes when he joins the Dark Nebula seemingly to offer his services for money. It is later revealed that he is actually a WBBA special investigator who went undercover to infiltrate Dark Nebula to find out what they were really up to.

== Trivia ==
* Tsubasa literally means "wing" in Japanese, and Otori literally means "great bird". The word play of "wing" and "great bird" coincide with his Beyblade being Earth Eagle 145WD.
** Tsubasa was chosen to have a demonic entity within him as part of a pun on the Japanese name of his Blade, "Earth Aquila 145W" (Aasu Akuira), with "Aku" meaning "evil".
* Tsubasa was the first blader to ever defeat Ryuuga's dark move even before Gingka himself did it, an extremely remarkable feat.
* Both Tsubasa and Kyouya came very close to defeating Ryuuga, although they both used very different tactics. Tsubasa stored his energy until Ryuuga used his dark move, and unleashed Counter Stance to defeat the Dark Move, thus leaving L'Drago seriously weakened. Kyouya on the other hand, taunted Ryuuga to battle him using only his own strength, and therefore faced a considerably less powerful version of the Dragon Emperor. It is therefore debatable who is actually stronger between Tsubasa and Kyouya, as even their battle in Metal Masters only resulted in a loss for Tsubasa because the Dark Power completely disoriented him. It is also worth noting that the two have very different battle styles, with Tsubasa relying on strategies and skill, and Kyoya relying on his training and brute force.
* Tsubasa's English voice actor David Reale, is the same voice actor who voiced Kai Hiwatari in the Original Beyblade Series.
** Coincidentally, both Kai and Tsubasa possess Beyblades with the spirit of birds.
** Interestingly enough, Tsubasa became the president of the WBBA, similar to how Kai became the director of the BBA in the Original Series manga.
* Despite being the 2nd strongest Blader on Team Japan, Tsubasa is the only person on that team who has not won a battle against Gingka, though he did lose his battle against him on purpose.
