Suoh Genji, recognized in Japan as Suoh Goshuin, sports pale skin and stark white hair obscuring his right eye, with a magenta zigzag mark hidden beneath his bangs. His striking ensemble combines a black-and-red coat edged in yellow fur, a crisp white suit, a clashing lime-green-and-purple tie, and a black-and-yellow gauntlet encasing his right arm. His voice shifts to a gravelly timbre when aggression overtakes his usual calm, observant demeanor.
Initially composed and courteous, Suoh’s personality fractures upon wielding the Beyblade Heat Salamander 12 Operate (alternately named Salamander S4 12 Operate), morphing into arrogance and ruthless obsession with dominance, particularly toward childhood friend Fubuki Sumiye. His unyielding pride fuels self-destructive tendencies, dismissing Fubuki’s progress and stewing in defeat.
Driven by a childhood loss to Lui Shirosagi, Suoh’s relocation from Canada to Beigoma Academy BeyClub sharpens his resolve to surpass Lui through the Luinor Cup. Early victories against Ranjiro Kiyama and Toko Aoi crumble when Fubuki, armed with Emperor Forneus, defeats him. This ignites Suoh’s creation of Heat Salamander using the Dragon Fang—a family relic forged with blacksmith Saruzo—which amplifies his aggression, sparking clashes where he mocks allies like Aiger Akabane and spurns Fubuki’s olive branches.
His competitive trajectory peaks with initial Luinor Cup triumphs over Fubuki and Aiger, then plummets through repeated losses and Battleship Cruise elimination. Defeat by Toko Aoi shatters Salamander’s hold, softening his edge and paving reconciliation with Fubuki. Post-redemption, he adopts a tempered focus on aesthetically "beautiful" battles, mirroring his reverence for champions Valt Aoi and Lui.
Suoh’s arsenal spans Raging Roktavor Knuckle Unite, Boom Khalzar 2Glaive Orbit, and the left-spin Heat Salamander 12 Operate, distinguished by its blue Level Chip. Signature techniques like Swirling Inferno and Crimson Lotus Blaze harness centrifugal force to ignite fiery tornadoes, echoing dragon motifs despite Salamander’s nomenclature.
His bonds intertwine rivalry and reluctant camaraderie with Fubuki, alongside competitive respect for Lui. Beyond the arena, he arranges flowers with precision, embodies a split persona mirrored in his Beyblade’s dual modes, and stands out as a left-handed combatant—a rarity among peers.
