Biography

Zonamos Nekoyama is the riddle-loving keeper of the Zonamos House theme park, recruited into Team Yggdrasil despite having no plans to compete in The X. He battles with his Cowl Sphinx beys, weaving riddles into his in-battle showmanship, including one aimed at rival Robin Kazami that turns their match into a puzzle both bladers enjoy. He's close with teammate Yuni Naniwa, both trying to impress team leader Blaze Fujiwara, and competes across all three Beyblade X seasons with a mixed record against Jaxon Cross, Multi Nana-iro, and others.

Appearance

What They Look Like

Zonamos is a large man with short brown hair and small, dot-like eyes. His shirt mixes sand green with a brownish yellow, worn beneath a white lab coat, and he tops it off with a peaked hat bearing a question-mark button capable of projecting images through the 4X System. He finishes the look with grey trousers and black, pointed shoes.

Turns matches into riddles behind a defensive Cowl Sphinx, which baffles Robin, Punk and Iwao but not Jaxon, Multi or Toguro.
