episodes on record

Gunta Hanami, called Unta Anami in Japan, is the enthusiastic WBBA announcer known as the Blader DJ throughout the entire Beyblade Burst franchise, calling matches from the original series through QuadDrive. Sharply dressed and clearly passionate about the sport, he appears at nearly every major official battle across six anime seasons, providing color commentary and hype rather than competing himself. His fitting surname, meaning flower-viewing in Japanese, a beloved seasonal tradition, plays on his genuine enthusiasm for watching Beyblade battles unfold.

Appearance and personality

What They Look Like, and How They Behave

Hanami cuts a sharp figure in a green suit finished with a red bowtie, worn over a white and blue shirt. His hair is dark brown, and his eyes are a lighter brown, matching the tidy, put-together impression the rest of his outfit gives.

Hanami brings real energy to every match he watches, and following Beyblade battles clearly excites him. He invests heavily in the sport itself, following the stakes and the outcome of each bout closely rather than treating it as background entertainment.
