Wanted to do this cause I believe they have a lot of potential lore wise. So, here's my version of the family. I didn't have time to think about their designs so bare with me.
Rantaro
Ranjiro
Ranzo
You probably already know about these three so no intro needed. Let's move on to the rest.
Ryuji Kiyama
- Honcho and Cap'n's dad.
- Currently a police detective
- Also a lollipop addict (having a sweet tooth runs in the family)
- Has solved over 50 cases in his career.
- Was the one who introduced Rantaro to beyblade.
- Used to be a blader but quit (for reasons he'd rather not talk about)
- Overall a good dad.
Fujino Kiyama
- Ryuji's wife and mother of Honcho and Cap'n.
- Currently an elementary school teacher.
- An overall sweet mom but can be scary at times.
- Has a rivalry with Valt's mom when it comes to cooking.
- Her sons got her blonde hair.
Renji Kiyama
- Ryuji's older twin brother and father of Ranzo.
- Moved to Brazil to find work. (Pretty much how he met his wife and made Ranzo)
- Was quite the protective brother when he and Ryuji were younger.
- Also used to be a blader but quit.
- Initially worried about his son getting involved in beyblade due to his own past experience with the sport, but eventually accepted it.
Lilia Kiyama (Lilia de Silva)
- Renji's wife and Ranzo's mom.
-
Rintaro Kiyama
- The grandfather and head of the family.
- A reserved and cold individual.
- Somewhat strict and rarely smiles.
- The only one who can soften his heart is his wife.
- Was once a strong blader but quit after losing an important battle. (It also changed his personality)
- Now focuses on traditional sword arts.
Tsubaki Kiyama
- The grandmother.
- She's your average grandmother who shoves food into your mouth even when you're full.
- Only she can see through her husband's cold facade.
Now we reach the last two, who are very special.
Ruu Kiyama
- The ancestor.
- Basically the one who started it all.
- An orphan raised by the spirit of his bey.
- Was once one of the greatest bladers of his time, the Taisho era.
- Due to the Kiyama family's decline in prestige however, his name was gradually forgotten.
- Lollipops weren't a thing in his time, so he would hoard traditional sweets instead.
- Unlike his hardy and hot-headed descendants, he was a timid boy.
- Died peacefully at the age of 70, surrounded by friends and family.
Kikuo Kiyama
- Ruu's childhood friend who eventually became his wife.
- Introduced Ruu to beyblade when he came to town.
- She was also a kabuki actress, so Honcho's fan can be traced back to her.
And of course, I can't forget about...
Ragnaruk
- The family bey.
- He's pretty much their butler at this point.
- Will do anything for them.
So that's about it for now. Probably will expand this later when I feel like it.
Also I apologise for the sudden influx of Kiyama related stuff cuz I suddenly adore them for some reason.
