Beyblade
Tskhali Sea Swan - Sayaka’s prime Beyblade in both Metal Fusion and Metal Masters. Known as "The Beauty of Birds", it is a powerful Defensive/Stamina-type that has powerful attack, incredible speed, endurance, and strength the average Defensive/Stamina-type. As seen in The Graceful Swan!, it represents the constellation of the Swan (Cygnus) and uses its water-like energy to create water, winds, and storms and use them to attack through its special moves.

Tskhali Sapphire Swan - Sayaka’s second prime Beyblade in Metal Fury. It is the evolved version of Sea Swan after it was enchanted by a Star Fragment. It maintains its former abilities of water combined with Sayaka’s Legend Aura that allow it to become a potentially great bey.

Special Move
Winged Hurricane Slash: Swan glides on the hurricane winds, which causes it to glow on a bright blue aura, which represents the strength of the powerful ocean it gathers before it crashes into its target.

Sonar Blazer: Swan glides on the seabreeze, and entrusts its movement fully to it, allowing Swan to bypass any resistance; including the vibrations of Libra's Inferno Blast by releasing an aquatic sonar shockwave.

Aqua Stream Cutter: Swan’s feathers are flung by a strong seabreeze that acts as a water vacuum cutter and launches the feathers all over the battlefield that slashes both the opponent and the stadium.

Stormy Counter: Swan prepares itself by becoming one with the storm of its movement and it is able to glide past enemy attacks as a counter and produces a shockwave. This can also be done by flying in the air and then counters the enemy by attacking their fusion wheel, which makes them lose balance, giving Swan the advantage.

Ocean Crash: Swan glides on the wind and soars into the sky to gather all the water resistance and dive onto the opponent with increased power when aided by the sea energy, which glows a bright blue.

Smashing Torrent: Swan glides on the waterfall and soars into the sky, only to dive onto the opponent and use the recoil to bounce back into the air and repeat the process in a circular motion repeatedly.

Rushing Wave Typhoon: Swan increases the vapor air resistance around them into a field of fierce cutting air around it, then, Swan spins around to create a watery bladed wheel-like wind and crash into the opponent.

Hydro Vortex Blaster: A very powerful special move; Swan rides on the sea breeze wind, soars into the sky, then gathers an incredible amount of water using it's wing like energy ring to immerse itself in a violent swirling vortex of water that crashes upon the opponent, sharp enough to pierce nearly any defence.

Tectonic Waterspout: Swan starts spinning around full tilt, creating a ring of water. Then, Swan's beast erupts from the torrent and attacks the enemy in a powerful waterspout, then it finishes them off by smashing the opponent into a nearby rock.

Element Type
Water {Much like a strong river, Sayaka’s Beyblading style is determined and even stubborn to a degree. The water's influence over her attacks does not stop there, as she is no stranger to the rocky oceans that are emotions. She feels deeply and passionately during Beybattles, fighting with understanding and compassion in her BeySpirit.}

Attack Type
Defensive/Stamina Type

Constellation/Myth
Cygnus /ˈsɪɡnəs/ is a northern constellation lying on the plane of the Milky Way, deriving its name from the Latinized Greek word for swan.

Biography
((Childhood))

Sayaka Ishikawa grew up in Osaka, Japan with her mother, father and younger sister, Tsuki. She did not have many friends and spent plenty of her time with her sister, developing a close sisterly bond and taking gymnastics as a hobby. Sayaka had always been an aspiring gymnast but was interested in Beyblading, observing the neighbourhood children battle each other from a distance after practice. Her parents, concerned for her safety, did not want her Beyblading with the others as yet.

When she turned six years old, her mother presented her with the Beyblade, Tskhali Sea Swan containing a beautiful swan BeySpirit that Sayaka immediately took a liking too. At first, she was not used to launching her Beyblade and keeping it spinning which discouraged her but she did not give up. A few weeks of training and watching the other children, she learned how to launch her Beyblade properly. Eager to show the others, she decided to show off her moves against another girl in front of a crowd. Fired up and passionate about her first battle, she was not unhappy from losing but instead vowed to become better and soon the best blader that Japan has ever seen. That when she met Koharu Akiyama. They became best friends. Koharu loves Beyblade and she support Shizuka all the way. Koharu admire her beyblading skills and gymnastics. She met another girl name Yumi Hirano. They become good friends.

At the age of eight, she had grown both in strength and in confidence and put Gymnastics off to the side to focus on her skills as a Beyblader. Sayaka was acquainted with all the other kids that lived near her and was told about a junior Beyblading contest that was taking place by Tsuki, whom had signed her up already. Although nervous, Sayaka was pumped and eagerly agreed to participating and came out in second place. She was excited about her win but even more excited about discovering a new special move, her Winged Hurricane Slash.

Months after, she was confronted by a few sore losers that she recognised from the contest that proceeded to harass her. That was when she met a silver haired boy, Tsubasa Otori, whom saved her from the harassment and became fast friends. She started to have a crush on him. However, their newfound friendship was short lived as Sayaka's mum earned a job in the States and Sayaka had to move away. Koharu and Yumi feel sad about not seeing Sayaka ever again.

((Metal Saga))

When Sayaka was older, her father, Tsuki, and herself decided to move back to Japan, with their mother in America still. She met her childhood friends Koharu and Yumi. They are happy to see her. Koharu and Yumi are going to watch her Beyblade battles.

During a practice session with her Beyblade at a nearby gym, she ended up running into her childhood friend, Tsubasa. Excited to see him again, she introduce them to Tsubasa that save her from the bullies. She was going to spend time with him, Koharu tell her to take care. They decided to catch up on the time she missed while she was away with him over lunch, and later met with Tsubasa’s friends. When she met Kyoya for the first time, she’d never been around his type of person before. He came off as rude and disrespectful, commenting on her Beyblading skills and girlish demeanour, and saying she was worthless and weak. Gingka, a redheaded friend of Tsubasa’s, had to break them up when they began arguing. Besides Kyoya, who could care less, she became friends with the others, such as Madoka and Kenta. More powerful than when she was a child, Sayaka decided to take on Gingka Hagane and display her newfound skills. Madoka, Tsubasa, and Kenta all came to watch the unfolding of the challenge she presented. It was a tough fight and both Beyblades took a reasonable amount of damage. Even with Sayaka’s Sea Swan's special move, she ended up tying with the powerful Blader. Gingka congratulates her, and remarks on how strong her Blader's Spirit is and how much stronger it could be if she kept believing in herself. They shake hands and she smiles, content with her victory, not in battle, but in herself and spirit which made her feel victorious. She soon joined Battle Bladers, wanting to achieve her dreams of becoming the best. However, things took a turn for the worst when she faced off against Ryuga. She was thrilled with excitement, and nearly managed to defeat him by putting up an amazing fight while taking so many of Lightning L-Drago’s attacks, but Ryuga used his dark power, which nearly destroyed Sayaka's Bey. She sadly forfeited the battle, feeling saddened by the loss, but Madoka vowed to fix up her Bey and make it good as new again.

Before the World Championship, Sayaka spent time with Tsuki, Koharu, and Yumi recalling her past endeavours up to then. She was so happy to see them and expressed her feelings about Beyblading, while later introducing Tsuki and Yumi to Tsubasa and the others. Sayaka then tells Gingka and the others that she, her sister, and her two best friends are going to be on Team Amazon, with Yumi as the team leader. Excited about the World Championship, they agreed that they all make it their objective to have fun! Team Amazon managed to defeat Team Korea and Team Mexico, the next round leading to GanGan Galaxy and Sayaka was excited. Yumi battled against Masamune, and won. Tsuki battled Tsubasa, and nearly won until Tsubasa's dark power took over and caused him to nearly destroy Tsuki's Bey, which she ended up losing. Finally, Sayaka battled against Gingka, and managed to win against him.

After a break, Amazon got a second chance and battled against Team Starbreaker, which won against them and nearly outed their team from the tournament. Upon going against Damian, he traps her and Sea Swan inside Hades’ Gates, but they break out of the chains and Sayaka almost manages to pull out a spectacular victory against him with her strongest Special Move: Hydro Vortex Blaster. Both attacks collided, causing a massive explosion that covered the entire field in smoke. As the smoke slowly clears, it reveals Sea Swan has stopped spinning with a stadium sleepout, while Hades barely managed to keep spinning, keyword: barely.

During the Hades City incident, she, along with Tsuki, Koharu, and Yumi help Gingka and many others fight against members of the HD Academy alliance.

A year and a couple weeks later, after the defeat of Hades Inc and the destruction of the Spiral Core, a strange event occurred. A new Star Fragment similar to the one that created Storm Pegasus and Lightning L-Drago exploded and spread out twelve beams of light that fell on Earth, hitting and enchanting eleven destined Beyblades. These Beys would prove to help in a time of darkness, as the legend of the star foretells.

Sayaka journeys with Gingka and the others to find the Legendary Bladers to help defeat Nemesis, as well as becoming one herself, which represents Earth. It was the danger of the battle against Rago that made her realise her obvious crush on Tsubasa. As the time came for Gingka and his group to depart, Sayaka was unsure on how to confess her feelings to Tsubasa. While walking through the forest of a nearby park they'd met, aimlessly wandering deep in thought, she accidentally trips on a root and nearly tumbles into the river, only to be caught by Tsubasa. He comments on her clumsiness and how she should not make it a habit. Nervously laughing, she tells him that she hopes that he could be by her side to help her when she can’t help herself, and confesses her affection for him.

((Zero-G/Shogun Steel))

Years after the events of Nemesis, and working happily at the WBBA, Sayaka was married to Tsubasa after a long while of knowing and working alongside each other. She still does Beyblading, but now alongside her little sister, trains newcomers to the sport. She soon became a mother and now has two adorable children: Tsubaki and Sayako Otori.
