Blader DJ is the Japanese referee and commentator of the Metal Saga, appearing consistently from Metal Fusion's early tournaments through Battle Bladers and beyond. In Metal Masters he travels to America to call the World Championship final alongside his rival-turned-friend the American DJ, and the two even battle each other to an inconclusive draw due to their shared lack of Beyblading skill. He owns a rare orange variant of Earth Eagle 145WD, matching WBBA member Tsubasa Otori's own Bey, and is based on the franchise's real-world Blader DJ.

Appearance

What They Look Like

Blader DJ's look barely shifts across the Metal Saga: a reddish-orange bandana tied over light brown hair, a blue WBBA shirt worn under a vest, and practical Beyblade gear — elbow pads, gloves, cargo trousers and boots. As with his counterpart from the original series, the design is modelled on the real commentator the character is named for.

A commentator first: his only match is a draw against a fellow announcer, and both admit afterwards that neither can really blade.
