Fumiya Kindo features in Beyblade Burst GT/Rise as Ichika Kindo's older brother and founder/leader of the Beyblade team Spark Wings (initially called Spark Devils). His appearance includes blonde hair, ruby red eyes, and blue-framed glasses with yellow lenses. He consistently wears rings and an outfit of a red-yellow striped jacket with dark gray fur trim, a half-sea-green, half-cerulean collared shirt bearing a silver design, white pants, and shoes. As a child, he wore simpler clothes like a white sweatshirt and black pants and lacked glasses.
Personality-wise, Fumiya displays aloofness, taunting behavior, and a flashy, dramatic flair during battles. Overconfident yet less extreme than peers like Lui Shirosagi, he acts standoffish toward the Victories team and opportunistically recruits allies like Lodin Haijima to defeat rivals. Though initially aggressive even toward Ichika and dismissive of recreational Blading, he develops kindness toward former opponents and reevaluates his Beyblade philosophy.
His backstory reveals childhood inspiration from Free De La Hoya’s match, where Ichika admired Free’s Geist Fafnir. To impress her, Fumiya created Wizard Fafnir Ratchet Rise Sen—a left-spin Beyblade using spin-stealing techniques. Its moves include Ratchet Drain (absorbing attacks via the Ratchet Disc), Wizard Blow (speed boost from landing on Rise Tip’s rim), Wizard Spin (spin-stealing hurricane), and Ratchet Through (blocking left-spin Beys). Fumiya employs unconventional launches: a weak Light Launch for slow spin-stealing and Spin Revival (jumpstarting spin via an opponent’s right-spin Bey).
In battles, he defeated Dante Koryu and Arman Kusaba early but lost rematches to Dante, Lodin, and Delta Zakuro. His rivalry with Arman and Dante shifts when he later supports Dante in critical fights. Though strained by conflicting views on winning, Fumiya’s underlying care for Ichika surfaces protectively. Free’s influence remains foundational despite no direct interaction.
Key trivia notes: left-handed (rare among Fafnir users), O blood type, Leo zodiac sign, and one of few major glasses-wearing characters. His development culminates in a sportsmanlike attitude, abandoning win-at-all-costs tactics.
