Ray Kon
He's known for his calm, open-minded approach to beyblading, and fans often note that his personality mirrors the yin-yang symbol he wears. Like the concept itself, Ray balances seeming opposites—he can be collected and thoughtful one moment, then fiercely competitive the next. These sides of him aren't truly contradictory; they complement and depend on each other, much like yin and yang themselves.
Season One
Ray first shows up in episode 6, "Dragoon Storm," as a confident, powerful blader. He comes across as overconfident before facing Tyson, demolishing his blade with Driger's Tiger Claw attack in their first round. The second match reveals cracks in that confidence when Ray loses to Tyson, then forfeits the final round, claiming he has nothing left to prove. By the end of the tournament, he's recruiting Tyson and Kai to join the newly formed Blade Breakers team alongside Max and Mr. Dickenson.
Throughout the season, Ray becomes the team's go-to source for battle advice. He's portrayed as genuinely kind and welcoming, with a notably open mind about different beyblading techniques—something that's emphasized when he leaves his home village to compete in the Asian tournament. It turns out he's got an uncle who runs a restaurant in Paris (owned by Oliver's dad), and he works as a waiter in Hong Kong to earn extra money, which has made fans assume he loves cooking.
Season Two
Ray stays pretty much the same, though he becomes much harder on himself about his performance. His kindness shows clearly in his match against Salima and Cyber Driger, where he spends most of the battle trying to convince her that the cyber upgrade has compromised her original beyblading philosophy.
He cycles through three beyblades this season: Driger Fang, Driger Vulcan, and Driger Vulcan 2.
Season Three
G-Revolution presents a noticeably different Ray. Gone is the polite but uncertain blader from the first two seasons—he's now confident to the point of cockiness, which actually costs him matches. This shift leads him to leave the Blade Breakers and team up with his former rival Lee to form the White Tigers X.
His beyblades for this season are Driger Vulcan 2, Driger Gatling, and Driger Metal Slash.
