Phoenix (フェニックス, Fenikkusu) is a recurring character in the Metal Saga, making his debut in Beyblade: Metal Fusion.

Physical Appearance
Phoenix is always dressed in a red coat, reaching down to his knees. He also constantly wore a metal mask and wig that appear to symbolize a phoenix, to hide his identity. He wears a black/brown shirt and long pants for the time being and carries Burn Fireblaze on his belt.
He is the tallest character in the show, even among the adults as he towers over Benkei.
Beyblade: Metal Fusion
