Hilary Tachibana


 * Hilary Tachibana, known as Hiromi Tachibana (立花 ヒロミ, Tachibana Hiromi ?) in the original version, is a character introduced in the second season fo the series. She only appears in the anime and not in the manga. Hilary is Tyson's classmate as well as the class president, often frustrated with trying to get Tyson to do his work. As a result, she tends to be very loud, bossy, and over-reactive, but is still intelligent, kindhearted, and unrelentingly stubborn. Though she is not a beyblader, she becomes a member of the Bladebreakers as their manager and coach and usually works alongside Kenny. As her position on the team solidifies, she becomes less excitable and exhibits a responsible and mature attitude. A running gag in the show is that her cooking is terrible, which both Tyson and Daichi constantly note, and she is usually the comic relief throughout the series.
 * As Hilary is not a beyblader, she is initially seen as a nuissance by the Bladebreakers and Tyson dubs her the "Wicked Witch of Eighth Grade" for her tenacity. She is accepted by Kai after she provides the team with an effective training schedule and the rest of the team warms up to her presence. However, Hilary is frustrated by her inability to see Bit-beasts and initially believes the boys are tricking her so they can exclude her from their activities. After she gains the power to see Bit-beasts, the team fully accepts her as one of their members and she becomes a loyal and reliable friend. Because she is less familiar with beyblading and does not beyblade herself, Hilary often uses her head to help solve problems the Bladebreakers encounter.
 * During the third season, Hilary remains with Tyson and Kenny as they are forced to reform the Bladebreakers into the BBA Revolution with Daichi Sumeragi and without Kai, Max, or Ray. She becomes the assistant coach and manager of the team along with Tyson's older brother, Hiro. After a few weeks the BEGA appeared and demolished the whole BBA company and the building, putting the sport of beyblading in a different playing field. The whole team is forced out from buying beyblade parts from shops since each shop required a BEGA identification card, another one of Boris's schemes to force Tyson out of beyblading unless Tyson joins the BEGA League, like Kai already has, and throws in the towel on the Justice 5 Match. Hilary tried, but failed to buy any parts. She lends out a hand to help the team build their own beyblading parts as the BEGA team gets ready for them. Later, after the BBA was saved, Hilary looks for Kai and Tyson, as always, and finds them both about to start a Beybattle, the denouement of the final chapter of Beyblade G-Revolution.
