John Kiritani

Biography

John Kiritani - Joanne Kiritani in the Japanese version - is a manga-exclusive minor character in Beyblade Burst Surge, introduced in Chapter 80 as a B-Tier #5-ranked blader. Alongside fellow high-ranked bladers Alexander Bottom and Chin Taizen, he mocks low-ranked Hyuga Hizashi over his lowly C-Tier #500 standing, only for the trio to be defeated once Hikaru Hizashi helps his brother Hyuga unlock the Lightning Launch. John's own Beyblade, Erase Balkesh 1'Star Zeta' Sou, appears only in this single confrontation, and no further personality, appearance, or history is recorded for him.
