Amane Kusaba, also known as Arman Kusaba, recurs across multiple seasons. He possesses tall, dark brown hair, green eyes, and distinctive curly eyebrows. Green markings appear under each eyes. His standard outfit consists of a black undershirt, a yellow martial arts robe featuring a white symbol outlined in magenta, green pants, and green shoes with white toecaps and magenta highlights. He wears a green headband bearing a white symbol on his left arm normally, but ties it across his forehead during Beybattles. Self-confident, intelligent, and hardworking, Amane exhibits a quieter, reserved demeanor outside competition. In battle, however, a mischievous streak emerges, and he often taunts opponents. Loyalty defines him, demonstrated when he remained with the Victories team after most members departed for Fumiya Kindo's rival Spark Wings. He is notably protective of his younger brother, Taka Kusaba, intervening when Taka faced bullying or used Beyblades prematurely. As a Victories member, his primary Beyblade is the defense-type Bushin Ashindra (or Bushin Ashura), configured as Hurricane Keep Ten. Its key techniques are: - **Bushin Guard**: Generates a lime-green whirlwind using six or twelve blades on the Layer Base to deflect attacks, with the twelve-blade Double Bushin Guard significantly boosting defense. - **Hurricane Defense**: Leverages the Hurricane Disc's free-spinning property to redirect opposing attacks during low stamina. - **Tower Counter**: Employs the Keep Tip's rubber to grip the stadium floor for abrupt directional changes. - **Hyper-Flux/Gold Turbo**: Achieves a temporary gold form with enhanced speed and power through synchronization, notably activated during high-stakes battles like those against Arthur Peregrine. His Beybattle record includes both losses and critical victories. Early defeats came against top bladers like Valt Aoi, Aiger Akabane, and Delta Zakuro. A significant breakthrough occurred when Ashindra resonated with him during a low-stamina battle against Delta, triggering his first Hyper-Flux state. This led to his victory over Arthur Peregrine, making him the fourth blader to defeat Arthur. His rivalry with Fumiya Kindo is longstanding, intensifying after Fumiya recruited most Victories members. Relationships with teammates, like Dante Koryu, evolved from initial friction to mutual respect. He regards top champions like Valt and Aiger with admiration for their skills. His Japanese given name, meaning "heavenly sound," references his Beyblade, while his surname "Kusaba" translates to "grass and leaf." His zodiac sign is Taurus and his blood type is O. Design similarities exist with characters Daigo Kurogami and Ken Midori, particularly in color schemes and bandana usage. His launching stance mirrors his Beyblade's Ten Layer Weight.
