Appearance[]

Kumasake has a large, stocky build, bushy eyebrows over yellow eyes and a round nose. On his head he wears a pale brown fleece coonskin cap, under which he has short brown hair with sideburns extending down his face. He has a short gamboge jacket, that is open from the base to the middle. It has torn sleeves, a pocket on the right side and the Dark Nebula logo on the left. Underneath his jacket is a black short sleeve t-shirt with belt loops on it. Around his waist is a brown belt with a circular silver buckle that has a second smaller circle. This belt has extra leather on either side, with three silver circles of increasing size followed by a rectangle on either side. It is to this that his launcher and Bey holster are attached. He has simple olive gray pants that go into his earth brown, fur cuffed boots. He also has a brown leather cuff on both of his wrists. Overall, his appearance is remarkably similar to his brothers but with him being the tallest.

Personality[]

He along with his brothers generally look quite 'lumberman-like', and they are obviously very stubborn. As brothers, also, they do get angry at each other for simple things like losing. Both the younger brothers look up to Kumasuke.

Beyblade: Metal Fusion[]

Kumasuke makes his first appearance in a challenge match looking to earn 10000 bey points where he competes aganst unnamed bladers as well as Tsubasa Otori. He is a member of the Dark Nebula and it is unknown how he joined. Doji and Yu Tendo watch him and note how they hope that Kumasuke's presence can bring in strong bladers. Rock orso seems to be owning the challenge match causing the other bladers to join in to take Orso out. Kumaskuke laughs at the effort. However Tsubassa's Earth Eagle 145 WD's stops Orso in his tracks. Tsubassa says Kumaskuke is unimpressive for a Dark Nebula Blader. He does not give up easily and uses Bear claw smash only for Eagle to douge it and use Metal wing smash causing Kumaskuke to lose. Gingka Hagane watches Tsubassa's win and feels impressed. Kumasuke then appears with his brothers Kumata and Kumaji at the Dark Nebula headquarters where Doji orders them all to battle Tsubassa to see if he can join the Dark Nebula. The three brothers all use their Orso's to gang up on Tsubassa and try to knock him out. Tsubassa is not scared as he says that no matter how many they are it is all the same. Eagle uses it's power and causes all 3 Orso's to get knocked out. All three of them start to argue about why they lost only for Doji to send them away.

When Tsubassa is discovered to be a tradior, Kumasuke, Kumaji and Kumata are summoned to fight the traitor alongside Dan Sodo, Reiki Sodo, Tetsuya Watarigani and various Dark Nebula Bladers. Honored by the opportunity, the brothers give it their all and use their jumping to get a direct attack on Eagle only for Eagle to fly up high and demolish their beys with its Metal wing Smash. Dan and Reiki are later beaten along with Tetsuya and their beys Evil Gemios DF145FS and Dark Gasher CH120FS. Once Ryuga appears they all flee the area.

Kumasuke is somehow able to earn 50,000 points where he battles Kyoya Tategami in the first round of the Battle Bladers tournament. sadily his Orso is no match for Rock Leone 145WB as it gets easily beaten when Leone uses Lion Gale Force Wall.

Kumaskuke and his brothers are then made to battle Ryuga for their loss. Although they put up a good fight their Orso's are no match for Lightning L-Drago 100HF who blows them all away and breaks their beys. Kumasuke gets worried causing his brothers to worry about him. Ryuga laughs saying that even with the three of them their power is weak. They are knocked out and their sprits get absorbed by L-Drago. Their spirits return to them after L-Drago' is beaten by Storm Pegasus 105RF and its new special move Galaxy Nova and they celebrate Gingka's victory with everyone else.
