Biography

Kumaji Kumade is the youngest of the three brutish Kumade brothers (with Kumasuke and Kumata) who work as Dark Nebula muscle in Beyblade: Metal Fusion, each piloting a differently colored Rock Orso D125B and looking up to eldest brother Kumasuke. The trio repeatedly gang up on Tsubasa Otori and later get devoured as 'snacks' by Ryuga's Lightning L-Drago, after which Kumaji leaves Dark Nebula once Gingka frees Ryuga. He resurfaces trying and failing to make Japan's Metal Masters team, then makes a brief cameo in Metal Fury lending Gingka power to defeat Nemesis.

Personality

How They Behave

Kumaji shares his brothers' rough, lumberjack-like manner and their evident stubbornness. Losing a match is enough to spark real anger between the three of them. Along with his other brother, he looks up to Kumasuke as the one to follow.
