Takao Kinomiya

Takao Kinomiya (Tyson Granger in the English dub) is the main protagonist of the Beyblade original series. Even though he uses his Bit-Beast named Dragoon. He can make upgrades to his blade by letting Manabu Saien upgrade the blade. He is a member of the Bladebreakers and his friends are Manabu, Max Mizuhara, Kai Hiwatari, and Rei Kon. His Bit Beast is Dragoon. Although he is the best Blader, he is not the leader of the Bladebreakers.
He was voiced by Motoko Kumai who is famous voicing as Syaoran Li from Cardcaptor Sakura series in the Japanese version and Marlowe Gardiner-Heslin in the English version.
==Personality and Relationships==
Takao is a strong-willed Blader who is not afraid to speak his mind and in doing so, he seems to get into more trouble than most kids his age but he handles those troubles very easily.
Takao is famous for his sense of humor which declines with each passing season until he becomes a young man Beyblading seriously.
Takao is a really popular person in the series. He had a lot of fans, even when he was an amateur. When he first won the regional tournament, many people picked up Beyblading just to be like him and defeat him. He has a lot of fans in his school as shown in Beyblade V-Force, much to Hiromi Tachibana's dismay. Although he is popular, he does not seem to have many close friends outside of his Beyblading ones. His closest friend throughout the series has been Kenny whom he goes to school with. But later, through the series he has developed very unique relationship with Kai, who became his closest friend. Outside of Beyblade, Takao does not make friends easily because of his aggressive nature, but he usually leaves a profound effect on the ones he does, completely changing their attitudes and way of life.
==Physical Appearance==
In Beyblade, Takao has black hair, dark brown eyes, and peach skin. He wore a backwards red, blue and white hat, an open red jacket (with white collars), yellow buttons, a yellow shirt under it, brown gloves covering the whole hand except the fingers, blue shorts, long white socks and shoes that were red, white and yellow.
In V-Force however, all the characters obtained a major redesign, including Tyson. Tyson's eyes turned to light brown, but he kept the black hair, got lighter skin, but still kept the backwards hat (except the white part turned red), kept the open jacket, however the yellow buttons were removed but the collar was kept. He kept the yellow shirt but with longer sleeves, the gloves turned blue, his shorts were replaced with grey jeans and his shoes were red, grey and blue colored.
In G-Revolution, he received a minor redesign. His gloves turned a darker blue. His red jacket received short sleeves with white highlights; covering his yellow t-shirt long sleeves which were removed. He obtained a blue and yellow Beyblade container on his left arm and received new red and white shoes. He also replaced his grey jeans with dark blue ones.
==Abilities==
While Takao is determined and strong of spirit in battle, he can sometimes be rash and take too many risks. Takao is not very good at Beyblade customization and sometimes lacks common sense. Takao's beyblades uses special attacks that take on the form of a dragon and they are generally one of the fiercest, more powerful beyblades around. They use the wind element. Dragoon Beyblades are known to get better with each model possibly describing how Takao develops as he grows up and learns from his mistakes. Takao's Bit Beast is Dragoon.
Takao and his Bit-Beast Dragoon share a bond that is legendary throughout the series. His Bit-Beast often gains more power due to his vigor and endless supply of confidence, coupled with his ability to push himself to unimaginable levels.
