Alan McKenzie

Alan (アラン･マッケンジーAlan McKenzie) is Max Tate's old friend, he was seen in Beyblade V-Force. He tried to steal a rock that contained the story of the Beyblades Bit-Beast.

Alan is a fellow classmate of Max's. Both lived in the same neighbourhood in New York and grew up to be good friends. Max going to live with his father in Japan severed their friendship though. Years later, in 2002, Max flew back to New York city to participate in a small tournament and see his mother. The two of them met again and learned that they could battle against each other in the tournament.

The night before the event though, the ancient rock which held many holy beasts was stolen from Judy's lab. When Takao caught up with him by bike, Max, who was coming towards them, walked into the thief and discovered it was Alan. The latter did not explain his actions then; he told Max, when the tournament started and that they faced, that if he could beat him, then the truth would be revealed. Although they first tied, Max won the other battle and Alan spilled it out: a woman had come up to him and asked him to steal the ancient rock; for that, he would get a very strong beyblade. Alan was interested in owning a better top, so he agreed to do the task. After the match though, he realised the blade was not so good anyway. Max and him became good friends again.
