Below the waste he wears dark blue pants that tuck into his white boots with a pink fold that matches his jacket.

Personality

In general, Teru is very calm and disciplined. He plays with interest, but also with clear goals in mind, such as getting his name known at least in the Beyblade world. He does not really talk a lot, but when he does, his words drip with content, and he likes ballet.

Beyblade: Metal Fusion

Gingka first sees Teru on T.V. where he battles Hikaru in a tournament and defeats her. Later, Gingka meets Teru. Teru claims Gingka is his idol and shines very brightly. They talk some more and Teru leaves. The next day, they meet in the final round of a tournament. Teru's Earth Virgo spins so fast that it blows Pegasus away when it attacks. The only place Gingka can strike is from below so he uses Storm Bringer to lift Virgo into the air and slam into it. Gingka wins and teru's blue ribbon glows and grows spreading all over the collar of bumblyburg.

Teru later earns 50,000 points and makes it to Battle Bladers where he loses in the first round to Ryutaro and Thermal Pisces.
