He wears a purple jacket with white and magenta designs, much like his hair color.

Official Bio

A rich B-Shot from a wealthy family who belongs to the East Block.

His B-Daman is the rapid-fire type Lightning Scorpio.

Proud and arrogant, he sees Riki as a rival and is constantly coming up with devious tricks and tactics. However, he is really an endearing character who is also very shy.

Personality

Katsumiya is a cheeky person, that sometimes overestimates his own ability, and it is shown that he does not work well with female characters, due to gynophobia, which means that he is afraid of girls. He always dislikes the idea of friends, believes that winning is everything, like Gunnos in Battle B-Daman: Fire Spirts! He believes that B-Daman are merely tools to achieve victory also. He also always argues with Mitsuru in B-Daman Fireblast.

B-Daman Crossfire

Did You Say... B-Daman?

Simon debuted in B-Daman Crossfire within the secret B-Daman training facility. He is first seen among the other facility members welcomeing Riki Ryugasaki. During the testing Simon is the first to get a perfect score on stage 2. He is also seen laughing the hardest when Riki fails the test and recieves a D ranking.

Wait a Minute! He's the Champion?!

Simon returns during another Cross Fight Challenge but fails to make the top three ranking. This ignites a jealous side within Simon against Riki.

Trivia

• His given name in Japanese, "Shuumon" means Red Gate while his family name "Katsumiya" means Temple of the Scorpion.
• The reason for Simon's Gynephobia (fear of girls) could be attributed to that scene with his family at the finale of B-Daman Fireblast. Therein, the androgynous Simon is being chased by his sisters so that they can give him a makeover and make him dress up as a girl.
• Simon share the same voice actor (in Fireblast) with Gao Mikado from Future Card Buddyfight.
• In B-Daman Fireblast episode 11/Cross Fight B-Daman eS episode 21 it is revealed that Simon is left handed.
