Raymond Kon(8th July), more commonly known as Ray Kon, known in the Japanese version as Rei Kon (金李, Japanese: Kon Rei, Chinese Pinyin: Jīn Lǐ), is a fictional character from the anime and manga series of Beyblade. In the anime, he is voiced by Daniel DeSanto in the US/UK version, whilst voiced by Aya Hisakawa in the Japanese version. In the Japanese versions, his given name is often written in katakana as “レイ.”

He is generally shown as to be calm and open minded. In fact, many comparatives can be made between his personality and Yin and Yang, which he appropriately wears the symbol of, the Taijitu. The forces of Yin and Yang are generally described as opposite but complementary forces, and the same can be said about him. He can be calm and collected, but also a fierce competitor.

Tyson An Awesome Beyblader

Tyson is a strong-willed teenager who is not afraid to speak his mind and in so doing, he seems to get into more trouble than most kids his age. He seems to be a very emotional person, and quite often worries about his friends, causing him to become angry. Tyson isn’t a born leader, yet because of his magnetic personality and self-confidence, people seem to gravitate toward him. No situation is too risky for Tyson, and he often relies on nothing more than luck. His style of playing is aggressive and all in all, Tyson is one fierce competitor.

Takao was voiced by Motoko Kumai in the Japanese version, while Tyson is voiced by Marlowe Gardiner-Heslin in the English version.

Popeye The Sailor Man

Popeye the Sailor is a fictional hero famous for appearing in comic strips and animated films as well as numerous TV shows. He was created by Elzie Crisler Segar, and first appeared in the daily King Features comic strip Thimble Theatre on January 17, 1929.

Although Segar’s Thimble Theatre strip, first published on December 19, 1919, was in its tenth year when Popeye made his debut, the sailor quickly became the main focus of the strip and Thimble Theatre became one of King Features’ most popular strips during the 1930s. Thimble Theatre was carried on after Segar’s death in 1938 by several writers and artists, including Segar’s assistant Bud Sagendorf. The strip, now titled Popeye, continues to appear in first-run installments in Sunday papers, written and drawn by Hy Eisman.

Tom and Jerry

Tom and Jerry was a successful and long-running series of theatrical short subjects created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. The cartoons centered around a never-ending rivalry between a housecat (Tom) and a brown mouse (Jerry), whose chases and battles often involved comic violence. Hanna and Barbera ultimately wrote and directed one hundred fourteen Tom and Jerry cartoons at the MGM cartoon studio in Hollywood, California between 1940 and 1957, when the animation unit was closed down. The original series is notable for having won the Academy Awards for Best Short Subject (Cartoons) seven times, tieing it with Walt Disney’s Silly Symphonies as the most-awarded theatrical animated series.

In 1960, MGM had new Tom and Jerry cartoons produced by Rembrandt Films, led by Gene Deitch in Eastern Europe. Production of Tom and Jerry shorts returned to Hollywood with Chuck Jones’ Sib-Tower 12 Productions in 1963; this series lasted until 1967. Tom and Jerry later resurfaced in TV cartoons produced by Hanna-Barbera and Filmatio  Studios during the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. Today, Warner Bro. owns the rights to Tom and Jerry, and produces the series Tom and Jerry Tales for The CW’s Saturday morning “Kids WB” lineup, as well as a string of Tom and Jerry direct-to-video films.

Pikachu And Pichu

Pikachu was Ash’s starter pokemon. Ash considers Pikachu to be his best friend. In the first episode, Pikachu disliked him, and shows it by shocking him frequently. It still shocks him to wake him up in emergencies or when he is accidentally in the way of an electric attack. His Pikachu has the particular characteristic of hating Poké Balls so it always tags along with Ash. At the end of first episode, the two of them become best friends after Pikachu saves Ash from a flock of Spearow. Pikachu was the first Pokémon that Ash obtained, and the only one that has always been with him. Ash’s Pikachu also refuses to evolve into a much more powerful Raichu. Ash was reluctant to expose Pikachu to the Thunderstone and Pikachu is quick to express it has no desire to change who it is. In the end, Pikachu shows that it is still able to beat its evolved counterpart Raichu. As a running gag, Pikachu destroys the bicycle of the female lead in each version of the series shortly after meeting them.

Ash Ketchum

Ash Ketchum, known as Satoshi (サトシ, Satoshi^?) in Japan, is a fictional character and main protagonist from the Pokémon anime. There are also incarnations of him in a plethora of manga adaptations, of which include The Electric Tale of Pikachu, Pocket Monsters Zensho, and Ash & Pikachu. He is loosely based on Red, the protagonist of the games Pokémon Red and Blue. The family name “Ketchum” is a pun on the series’ franchise’s former tagline and slogan, “Gotta catch ‘em all!”.

At the beginning of the series, Ash was 10 years old, and later, in the episode “The Battle Of The Badge”, Ash said that it was a whole year since he and Pikachu had visited Viridian City, making him 11. Furthermore, in the short called “Pikachu & Pichu” which was attached to Pokémon 3: The Movie, he said the day when the events depicted in the short took place was the anniversary of the day he met Pikachu, meaning his age at that time would be at least 12. However, two seasons later, the official Japanese Pokémon website reported that Ash was the same age as May, who was 13 or so years old at the time. This and the fact that the two are at the same height suggests that both of the characters are the same age. However, as the story progressesd, Ash must now be 13 going on 14.

Flygon

Flygon (フライゴン, Furaigon^?) has its natural habitat is the desert, across which it flies. Flygon’s wings kick up a cloud of dust and sand each time they flap, so that whenever Flygon moves, it is surrounded by a constant sandstorm. This provides Flygon with a useful cover from enemies and other unwanted visitors who lose themselves in the dust cloud, while Flygon itself maintains perfect vision thanks to red covers that shield its eyes from the storm.

Tyranitar

Tyranitar, Bangiras (バンギラス, Bangirasu^?) in original Japanese language versions, is the final evolution of Larvitar. Its strength is insurmountable and its body is nearly impenetrable. It can easily change the landscape with its strength, often causing maps to have to be redrawn if it rampages. It can destroy a whole mountain with one arm, just to make its nest.

Kyogre The Legendary Pokemon

Kyogre (カイオーガ, Kaiōga^?) is one of a trio of legendary Pokémon, alongside Groudon and Rayquaza. Kyogre represents Pokémon Sapphire and appears on the cover art for the game. Kyogre represents the primal force of the oceans; as such, it has the power to bring forth storms, constant rain and massive floods. It is part of the creation myth of the Pokémon world. According to legend, a titanic battle between it and Groudon created the oceans and the land, and the two were sealed beneath their respective elements. Despite being the creator of the oceans, Kyogre still came and helped Manaphy when Manaphy needed help as any other regular pokemon.

Swellow

Swellow (オオスバメ, Ōsubame^?, Ohsubame in original Japanese language versions) is the larger and stronger evolved form of the Taillow Pokémon species found in the Hoenn region. It lives as a migratory bird of prey; it constantly flies towards warmer climates in a migratory fashion, and the moment it spots its prey, Swellow dives down at a steep angle and snatches the hapless victim tightly with its talons. It never misses its targets in this respect. Swellow is quite fastidious with its own body, especially its wings.
