Gaou Tategami

Biography

Gaou Tategami is a manga-only Metal Fight Beyblade character, the muscular founder of TC and father of both Kyoya and Kakeru Tategami. Though not a blader himself, series creator Takafumi has hinted on social media that this could change. Strict, wild, and physically imposing, he frequently bickers with his sons but shares a close bond with them, having handed TC's leadership over to his eldest son, Kyoya, in a short bonus comic that establishes the family's business history.

A heavily muscled man in a torn white shirt, with a large scar running between his eyes and hair swept back.

Strict, wild and powerful by nature, he trades bickering with his sons that amounts to little more than background noise, the two sides bound by a genuinely good relationship underneath it.
