Fubuki Sumiye, known as Fubuki Sumie (墨江フブキ, Sumie Fubuki) in Japan, is the tritagonist of the anime and manga series, Beyblade Burst Turbo. He succeeded Valt Aoi as the leader of the Beigoma Academy BeyClub. But when he left for America, he transferred his leadership to Valt's younger brother, Toko Aoi. His Beyblade is Emperor Forneus 0 Yard. He makes his debut in the final episode of Beyblade Burst Evolution.
Appearance
Fubuki has blonde hair, black eyebrows, and red eyes and wears a black shirt which has the red Beyblade symbol on the top right with a light blue pendant around his neck. He wears baggy blue trousers with black, blue sneakers.
Personality
Fubuki is very calm-minded and takes his training very seriously. His concentration and focus is so good that he cannot hear anyone or anything around him while training. He doesn't like big-mouthed people like Aiger, nor people who talk big about themselves, as he believes that a person can always improve. According to Suoh, he is a "monster" who is obsessed with hard work.
Fubuki also does not believe in the concept of a "genius", as he considers true strength to be the result of hard work rather than natural talent.
As shown in the Evolution season finale and in flashbacks, Fubuki was much more excitable as a child, contrasting his quieter, more reserved demeanor in the present day. After Fubuki leaves for America to train with Shu Kurenai, he becomes much more cool, calm and strategic, as shown in Episode 21 where he teams up with Aiger in a team battle.
Despite his calm and serious behavior, Fubuki is kind and supportive to those he cares about, especially Aiger. This was shown when Suoh told him that it was too late to save Aiger from his corrupted resonance with Achilles, to which Fubuki replies that he will come back, even I=if he has to face Aiger to do It and when helping Aiger bonding with his evolved Bey, Turbo Achilles 00 Dimension.

He later came down to the training room to battle Aiger and put him in his place. In the first match Aiger talked to Z Achilles and unlocked his powers to beat Fubuki with a Ring-Out Finish. This made Fubuki take Aiger seriously and think of him as worthy of Fubuki’s time.
Duel at Sunset!
Fubuki continued his battle with Aiger and ended it with a Burst Finish. This battle made Fubuki respect Aiger a bit as a natural Blader. Later an unknown Blader came to ask Fubuki if he wanted to watch Aiger and Ranjiro’s match. Fubuki declined as he thought it would waste precious training time.

Fubuki battled Ranjiro to take back Achilles and show him that training is important for winning. He defeated Ranjiro with a Burst Finish and told him that he was not worthy of Beyblading. Later Aiger challenged him and the first round ended with Fubuki beating Aiger with a Ring-Out Finish.
Turbo Match! Valtryek vs Lúinor!

Fubuki thought of taking the first strike at Lui but Lui broke through his defenses and burst him.

Relationships
Shu Kurenai
As a young boy, Fubuki met Shu and, amazed by his skills, asked him to train him so he could become as strong as Shu one day. Though Fubuki lost several battles against him, Shu simply told him to not give up and keep trying. In the present day, Fubuki has taken after Shu, and this is especially reflected in his launching stance in which he pushes his launcher forward just as Shu did in the previous season. He has also taken on some of Shu's mannerisms, shown by the two both having generally calm, quiet and reserved demeanors and valuing hard work and practice. When Fubuki talked to Shu after being eliminated from the Luinor Cup, Shu encouraged him to leave Japan for America.
The two have since maintained a stronger mentor/student relationship, with Shu teaching Fubuki how to have fun in Beybattles, as well as explaining the concept of Bey resonance to him.
Aiger Akabane
Aiger is Fubuki’s main rival in Turbo. Their interaction is similar to that of Shu and Valt from the previous seasons. Fubuki initally does not get along well with Aiger due to his disapproval of the latter's overconfidence and large ego. Over time, however, Fubuki and Aiger came to respect each other. At one point, when Fubuki asked Aiger to join the BeyClub, he declined, stating that the reason he came to Beigoma Academy was because of him so he could get stronger. At some point during the Battleship cruise, Fubuki started to notice a dark change within Aiger, due to having recently learned about resonance from Shu, to which he urged Ranjiro to watch over Aiger to make sure he wouldn't take things too far or hurt himself.
Toko Aoi
Fubuki is shown to have a close relationship with Valt's younger brother, Toko, as he's been seen giving him pointers on how to improve his Beyblading skills. He even trusted Toko enough to appoint him as the new captain of the Beigoma Academy BeyClub before leaving for America.
Suoh Genji
Fubuki and Suoh have been friends since they were little, and are both members of the Beigoma Academy BeyClub. Suoh often followed Fubuki everywhere and was usually seen supporting him in his matches, as well as admiring his hard work. However, after he obtained his new Bey, Heat Salamander, Suoh began to view Fubuki in a negative light. This only got worse after he defeated Fubuki in the Luinor Cup, calling him worthless and breaking off their friendship. But even then, Fubuki still considered Suoh his friend, and still supports him. It can be assumed that Suoh has let it go and mended things with Fubuki. Suoh also earlier warned Fubuki about Aiger's growing dark resonance, stating that the latter was going down a dangerous path. Fubuki had witnessed it too, and, after initially trying to claim that Aiger had simply gotten stronger, he knew that the former was true and declared that Aiger would come back, even if he had to bring him back himself.
Valt Aoi
As Fubuki is close friends with Valt's younger siblings, it can be assumed that he also knows Valt to some extent. Suoh once commented that Fubuki is slightly irked by Valt being a "Beyblading genius", as he dislikes the thought of a genius. He also succeeded Valt as captain of the Beigoma Academy BeyClub after Valt left Beigoma Academy.
