Background
King was born to a poor family in Greece. Many years later, he was forced onto the streets with only his Beyblade and Equipment left.

One night, he caught sight of a beam of light which landed on a nearby ruined temple. Upon arrival at the ruins, King spotted a new bey buried in the Rubble which he kept for himself. Destiny had brought him a gift: Variares D:D.

King first appeared in Finished! The New Unicorno. He began an argument with Masamune Kadoya over who was stronger. He later competed in the "Sphere 360" Block B battle, which he later won alongside Masamune and Jigsaw.

In I Am The Champion!, King battled in the finals of the "Sphere 360" tournament. After a grueling battle in which he revealed himself as a Legend Blader, he beat Masamune to win the tournament.

It was revealed in The Labyrinth of Mist Valley that he decided to stay in America and train as a Legend Blader with his new friend, Masamune Kadoya.

In Furious! The Two Big Battles, King challenged Ryuga to a battle. After putting up a tremendous fight; Ryuga won the match with L-Drago's special move; Dragon Emperor: Descends.

In Orion's Whereabouts, King fought alongside Gingka against Chris and Johannes. The battle however was interrupted by Ryuga and the Dark Side managed to escape. Later, Masamune's Blader Spirit is hindered and King restores it with the famous "NUMBER ONE" shout, just as good friends do.

In The God of Destruction, Resurrected!?, King's bey began glowing red hot due to the Rise of Nemesis. Him, Gingka, Yuki, Masamune and Madoka quickly divised a plan for tracking down Nemesis, that involved visiting a certain temple.
