Blader DJ (Real)

This WBBA-appointed referee officiates real Beyblade matches in Japan, dressing almost identically to his animated namesake with a red-and-white bandana, a black headpiece, and a sleeveless jacket over a blue tee. He partners with fellow referee Blader Ken to keep matches fair and to encourage good sportsmanship among competitors. Both the original Bakuten Shoot Beyblade cartoon's Blader DJ and the later Metal series version borrow his look and voice, though neither is meant to depict him directly.
