Wakiya is quite tall compared to other characters his age. He has
sharply slanted blue eyes and blonde spiky hair which he wears in a
ponytail. His regular attire consists of a purple jacket with a red
wyvern emblem as a design, a gold spike on each shoulder of the jacket, a
 white belt with a silver "W" emblem belt, purple pants, black
knee-length boots and black-and-yellow fingerless gloves with
white-and-black cuffs.

## Personality

Wakiya is a highly self-confident and competitive character who
possesses a sharp mind and excellent analytical skills. His extreme
self-confidence has proven to be a double-edged sword: while it has
greatly helped him to win more battles, it has also caused him to
underestimate some of his opponents, such as when he said that Valt Aoi
 only got lucky in his matches and ignored him because he was not a
worthy opponent, only to be beaten by him later in the series.

He strongly believes in his Beyblade's strong wall of defense and taunts Shu Kurenai
 after winning his battle in the District Tournament. He is often seen
riling up his opponents in an attempt to make them lose their focus on
the match, and he uses this strategy to his advantage.

Due to the fact that he had been raised to always get his way
growing up and his parents were usually busy, Wakiya can be rather bossy
 and has a feeling of entitlement. This often caused him to try to take
control of the team, even after accepting Valt as captain. He is also
rather blunt at times. This frequently led to him clashing with Rantaro.

Another one of Wakiya's flaws is his pride. He's a very strong
Blader and he knows it, but he firmly believes that no one can ever beat
 him, and his pride can often blind him to his faults.

Wakiya tends to get frustrated easily when things don't work out
the way he wants them to. For example, he slowly loses his patience when
 he realizes that he can't beat Valt as easily as he thought during
their battle in episode 12. He also becomes upset when he loses to Xander Shakadera in the Team Tournament, and runs off to kick the wall in anger, wondering how he didn't win.

Despite this, Wakiya has a kind side, especially shown towards his practice partner and friend Hoji Konda. He will also sometimes help others if they are in a tight spot. This is further shown when he went out to rescue Toko and Nika
 after they got lost in a storm and even going out of his way to stall
his match in episode 40 in order to buy Valt some time (due to being
late via a fake phone call). He seems to have mellowed out considerably
over the course of the series.

He has since become fiercely protective of his friends, and this is especially true in *Evolution*,
 when he told his friends about Shu going AWOL and organized a group
mission to look for him. He also later voiced his suspicions about the International Blader's Cup to Kristina Kuroda, by stating how there were unranked Bladers from the Snake Pit Organization who were competing in said tournament.

Wakiya is also a perfectionist and hates failure. This is
especially shown in episode 45, where he loses against Shu in the
Individual Tournament and runs off in tears, overwhelmed by feelings of
insecurity and uselessness. Fortunately, Hoji reassures him that he is
indeed a strong Blader, and that he is not someone who would give up
after a defeat.

He is shown to be athletic and is a fast runner. He is
hardworking when it comes to Beyblade and undergoes rigorous training,
even entering tournaments with extra weights on under his usual outfit.

As shown a few times in the anime, Wakiya has a crippling fear of
 heights, a.k.a. acrophobia. This was first shown in episode 28 when he
showed reluctance in helping the twins get a piece of fruit from a high
tree branch and while he was helping them cross an old bridge. Perfect
examples in *Evolution* include episode 16 while attempting to
zipline across a ravine and episode 19, where he had to battle Violet
Eye and Red Eye on a long, narrow bridge over a chasm in the Snake Pit.

## Relationships

### Valt Aoi

Wakiya initally had an indifferent attitude towards Valt due to not
seeing him as a worthy opponent. After Valt defeated him in episode 12,
however, his behavior towards him started to change and eventually,
Wakiya came to respect Valt as both a friend and fellow Blader. After
spending a couple of episodes jockeying with Valt for the position of Team Captain of the Beigoma Academy BeyClub, in episode 28, Wakiya ultimately decided that Valt should be the leader, likely as thanks for helping him earlier.

However, there were a few moments when Wakiya questioned Valt's
leadership, and was the most vocal whenever something went wrong. Though
 he usually tries to deny it, Wakiya is shown to care deeply about Valt
in later episodes, to the point where he delayed his match in episode 40
 in order to buy Valt some time after he showed up late.

### Shu Kurenai

Wakiya considers Shu to be his biggest rival and constantly trains to
 become better than him. Shu likewise is aware of Wakiya's desire to
beat him, but disapproves of the latter's mocking of Valt, saying it
won't do him any favors. When the two had their battle in episode 45,
Wakiya (begrudgingly) admits that he was able to become stronger because
 of Shu. In response, Shu nods, showing how their relationship as rivals
 grew.

In *Evolution*, Wakiya was the the one who informed the
others that Shu had mysteriously disappeared and organized a group
search in Mexico to find him, showing just how concerned he was for his
friend.

### Daigo Kurogami

Daigo and Wakiya have at least some sort of mutual respect for each
other. Before Daigo became friends with Valt and the other members of
the BeyClub, he was often seen interacting with Wakiya. Wakiya is well
aware of Daigo's ominous tactics, suggesting that they have known each
other for a while.

### Hoji Konda

Hoji's father works at the company that Wakiya's father owns, which
is how the two met. It is implied that Hoji and Wakiya have known each
other for a long time, as Wakiya has stated that "Hoji's trained with me
 since day one." Hoji is one of the few characters that Wakiya openly
shows kindness towards, as they have a close and friendly relationship.
It is revealed in episode 24 that Wakiya taught Hoji how to Beyblade.
Hoji is also one of the only people able to reassure Wakiya and boost
his self-esteem after a defeat. In *Evolution*, Hoji knew Wakiya well enough to know that he was searching for a good strategist for his team, which he found in Ataru Okinaka.

### Rantaro Kiyama

Wakiya and Rantaro had limited interactions early on, but that
changed after the former joined the BeyClub. However, their relationship
 was rocky, due to the fact that Rantaro heavily disapproved of Wakiya's
 arrogance and bossy attitude. The two frequently butted heads, and
often had to be broken up by Daigo. Eventually, the two came to respect
one another, although they still occasionally got into disagreements.

### Toko Aoi and Nika Aoi

Wakiya seems to have a soft spot for Valt's younger siblings, since
he treats them with more respect than he does with Valt. This is shown
when Toko and Nika get lost in a storm while attempting to retrieve a
fruit as a trophy for the winning team, prompting a concerned Wakiya to
go out and look for them. When he found them, he initially scolded them
for running off before comforting them when he saw them crying, and the
three later worked together to cross an old bridge (despite Wakiya's
fear of heights). Toko and Nika later gave the fruit they had picked to
Wakiya as a gift, something that he genuinely appreciated.

### Sasaki and Shindo

Sasaki and Shindo are two other Bladers whom Wakiya trains with
besides Hoji. While not much has been observed between them, it can be
assumed that Wakiya treats them with the same level of respect as Hoji.
Sasaki and Shindo likewise seem to be on good terms with Wakiya and
usually cheer him on in battle, though they sometimes disagree with his
intense training regimes.

### Silas Karlisle

Silas and Wakiya were on the same team for the first few episodes of *Evolution* but Silas left after their match against BC Sol due to Wakiya's extreme bossiness.

### Cuza Ackermann

Wakiya initially showed some hostility towards Cuza when they met in
Mexico. At first, he refused to let Cuza tag along on the gang's journey
 to find Shu, but he eventually conceded on the condition that he keep
his pet bird, Carl under control. While he was initially impressed with
the bird's ability to navigate through the jungle, Wakiya got annoyed at Cuza when Carl ate a trail of breadcrumbs meant to help find their way
back to the airport. When the group encounter a ravine that they have to
 zipline across, Wakiya's acrophobia prevents him from doing so, leading
 to Cuza having to push Wakiya across the wire, much to the latter's
chagrin.
