Biography

Taraba is a bullying blader from Tetsuya Watarigani's hometown, remembered mainly for a brutal childhood battle that permanently warped Tetsuya's personality. Mistaking a stand-in Tetsuya for the blader he actually wanted to fight, Echizen, Taraba beat and injured him, only to be defeated later once Tetsuya embraced dirty tricks and a crab obsession. Years later he resurfaces as a minor gatekeeper blader, losing decisively to Kyoya Tategami's King Lion Tearing Blast in a Battle Bladers qualifier.
