Ikki is the main character of Medarot 2. He starts off as one of the only people in the school without a Metarot. However, while out on a chore to buy supper for his mom, Hikaru Agata forces Ikki to buy his first Medarot, an update version of Metabee or Rokusho depending on the game's version. When Ikki gets home, his mother scolds him for wasting the money and is told to go upstairs. He then assembles his Metarot and his disappointed when it doesn't move, realizing he needs a medal. when Ikki's dad was on his way home, the Phantom Retort gave him a medal to give to his son, that being the Kuwagata medal or the Kabuto medal, again depending on the version. Later that day, when leaving his house, he runs into his childhood friend, Arika. She challenges him to his first robattle. After decimating her team, Ikki is lead to the school to watch a Medarot tournament. The tournament was over, The Screws being the reigning champs. The Screws taunt Ikki into fighting them, one-on-one at first, but then the Screws decided to cheat and attempted to take Ikki on, 3-on-1 unlocking the [medaforce].

After the Screws make a tactical retreat, Ikki goes into the school building and speaks with Arika about a rumour she heard about a Medarot that tickled cute girls. After sending Ikki to investigate, he ran into Salty, Ikki's dog fallowed by Karin, leaving the school. After speaking to Miss Nae, Ikki investigated a shady building on the edge of town. Arika then runs to tell him a strong Medafighter appeared from the Rose Wood Private School. Ikki rushed back to fight this new threat. Kouji, the boy from Rose Wood Private School then shows up and decimates the Screws with one Medarot, that being Smilodonad or Warbonnet depending on the version. Ikki then chases after Kouji upstairs where Arika the forces him to battle Kouji. Kouji accecpts his loss like a man. Karin then appears and tries to explain things to Kouji who goes ballistic for being in the same vicinity as Karin. He then claims Ikki is the culprit for the ticklings. After Arika speaks some logic into him, Kouji and Arika leave Ikki and Arika alone taking Karin with him.

Arika forces Ikki to go over to her house to attempt to get Ikki to go out disguised a girl to try and catch the Medarot. After Ikki leaves wearing the skirt, the Medarot runs up and harasses Arika of not being a cute girl. Ikki then chases after the Medarot while Arika reccoparates from a tiring run. The Medarot lead Ikki to the spooky building on the edge of town which ended up being a part of the RoboRobo Gang's scheme. The Select Corp. walked in and found a defeated RoboRobo while Ikki hid. The Select Corp. then took credit for the defeat of the RoboRobo for themselves. Ikki then returns to Arika's house to drop off the skirt which she didn't want back, so Ikki kept it. After speaking to Arika about a spooky Ghost Medarot in the mountain to the north. He left and saw the Screws stiring up trouble in the school yard trying to get a group to go to Mt. Odoro to get there parts back from the Ghost Medarot.

In Medarot Cardrobottle

He appears as the rival of the Protagonist

In Medarot R

Medarot R tells an alternative adventures of Ikki Tenryou and his friends on the town of Omikuji, but doesn't match the established setting in Medarot 2, Medarot 3 and Medarot 4.

Ikki is notably more friendly toward Metabee and Rokusho and treats them with respect, and thus Metabee isn't as rude to Ikki (despite the fact the he and Rokusho have no lines here.).

Here Ikki owns both Metabee and Rokusho and won the Hyper Tournament defeating his rival Kouji, and two other Hyper Medarotters, namely Rintarou Namashina and Jick.

Chapter 1

How Ikki's adventure begins is on his birthday when he gets the KBT type he'd always wanted --- Metal Beetle or Metabee for short. However Ikki doesn't have a Medal so he can't use Metabee. When he goes to school, looking for Arika, he sees the Kikuhime and her cronies showing off Peppercat for the school paper. Ikki talks to the cameraman Chief, who tells him that Arika left to get more film. Ikki goes to the 24 shop looking for Arika, only to see a strange man (a Roborobo Gang thug) attacking Hikaru. Hikaru tells the man that he doesn't want the Medarot the thug is trying to give him. The thug gets angry, and noticing Ikki and the inoperable Metabee, challenges the boy to a fight. Ikki tells the thug that he can't Robotlle--- only for the thug to laugh at him. Hikaru flees only to return as the Kaito Retort, a well known viglante that gives people who can beat his Rokusho , Shinsaber and Gobenkei, a Medal. Hikaru gives Ikki a spare Kabuto Medal that he'd been holding on to for a while.

With it, Ikki beats the thug with Metabee's help, and tries to give Metabee's Medal back, but Hikaru lets him keep it. Ikki and Metabee's first battle was seen by Arika, who posts it on the school paper.

In the anime

Medarot

Ikki is the main character in the anime and its sequel due to the story adapting the events of Medarot 2 (More specifically Kabuto version), with the events of Medarot 1 being only vaguely mentioned.

Ikki is a young boy who is an enthusiastic Medarot fan, but was unable to afford the Tinpet, Medaparts, and Medal needed for his own Medarot. However, by chance he came across a Rare Medal that had been dropped into a river, and is able to buy an older set of parts from shopowner Hikaru Agata. By combining the three he gains his own Medarot, whom he dubs Metal Beetle or "Metabee" before employing him in battle. While the two enjoy an early victory, Metabee's sassy personality clashes with Ikki's early on, and continues to prove a source of conflict for the pair. As time goes by, the pair do form a bond of mutual respect and trust.

At some point Ikki and Metabee meet Rokusho, a wandering medarot with no partner, the Kaitou Retort, who is after Metabee's rare medal, and the Roborobo Gang, who are after all Rare Medals. This culminates with Rokusho finding out that Dr. Aki killed his master(in reality this was a trick by the Roborobo Gang to get Metabee and Rokusho's Medals). Ikki and Metabee's fight with him, ending with Metabee's body almost destroyed, as Rokusho used the Medaforce to win. Ikki with Metabee and Rokusho fight Beast Master and destroy him, saving both Metabee and Rokusho.

Later after Rokusho leaves to continue his scearch for his master, Ikki meeets Rintarou Namashina, an overzealous Medarotter who got Metabee in trouble with his Kantaroth. Later that day, Ikki's arrogance causes him, Kouji and Rintaro to lose a Team Robottle with Sarami. this forces Hikaru and his Metabee to intervene. Ikki seemingly sulks in his room after that, and it is revealed that he was thinking about how to beat Sarami when Rintarou tries cheering him up. Ikki later goes with Rintarou and Kouji to a suspicious dojo for training, but it was revealed to be a plot by Sarami to get Metabee's rare medal. After beating Sarami, Ikki finds out later from Rintarou that Kouji is learning how to beat the Medaforce, and Ikki fights Kouji another time and gets past Sumilidon's new technique with a Concealing part.
