Ben Azuki

Burst, Burst Evolution

## Appearance

Ben has tanned skin and pink hair with an orange bolt-shaped streak
and a purple Mohawk. His eyes are pink, and a bandage is under his left
eye. Ben wears a black and red jacket with a triangle symbol on his left
 sleeve over an orange hoodie. His shorts are purple with black
triangles that look like stripes. He also wears black boots.

## Personality

Ben is described by many as possessing the spirit of a wild animal. As the captain of the Beasts, he always encourages his teammates,
especially Ken, to unleash their "inner beast" in battle. He doesn't
talk much, and usually responds with a series of growls and roars. While
 these traits can make seem aggressive and asocial, he is actually very
good-hearted.

According to Ken, Ben is has a bit of a tendency to jump to
conclusions, such as when he initially mistook Valt and Ken's playful banter for arguing.

In short, Ben is similar to Valt Aoi, given that they both have very driven and determined personalities and both own Attack Type Beys.

## Biography

### *Beyblade Burst (anime)*

Ben was first introduced as the captain of Beasts.

## Beyblades

* Beast Betromoth: Ben's primary Beyblade in Beyblade Burst.

### Special Moves

* Beast Charge: This attack causes Betromoth to speed up halfway through a battle, allowing it to crush its opponents when they are usually starting to

lose speed by that point.

* Beast Hold: This attack makes Betromoth spin in a very wobbly manner and allows it to take the center and act like a Defense Type to repel attacks, but if

it starts scraping the ground, it loses strength far more quickly.

## Relationships

### Ken Modori

Ben invited Ken to join the Beasts after the latter moved to his new
school. Out of all the members of his team, Ben encourages Ken the most
of all to unleash his "inner beast". Since, the two have become rather
close, and it's hinted that Ben had somewhat of an influence on Ken, as
the latter had become more confident and assertive. When Ken faced off
against Lui in the Individual Tournament, Ben and the rest of the Beasts
 joined the Beigoma Academy BeyClub in cheering him on. As Ken yelled
after his defeat, Ben and the other Beasts joined in, sensing their
friend and teammate's disappointment.

### Valt Aoi

When Valt and Ben first met, the latter mistook Valt and Ken for
arguing when they were simply exchanging playful banter. However, Ken
stated that Valt and Ben actually have a lot in common, especially in
terms of personality. After Valt defeated him in episode 35, Ben asked
to battle him again sometime, to which Valt agreed, showing that the two
 have developed a mutual respect for one another.

## Quotes

* "Meet Betromoth. It's gonna hunt your bey down and chew it apart!"
* "One more time! Battle me!"

## Trivia

* His birthday is January 15th.
* Ben's family name, "Azuki", is a kind of bean grown in East Asia and the Himalayas.
	+ "Azuki-iro" or "azuki-color" is used to mean reddish-brown in Japanese. This means Ben's surname refers to a color, like many other

characters in the *Burst* cast.
