Steven McRae, and Metal Fight Beyblade 4D (Beyblade: Metal Fury), He also writes and illustrates the manga of the Metal Saga. Adachi has ties in Duel Masters, another franchise created by Tomy, in which Adachi created a manga unrelated to the main storyline of it. Also, while Metal Fight Beyblade was under development back in 2008, Adachi was asked by Tomy and quote, "Make a new Beyblade series unrelated to the first one." With this, Adachi quickly revived Beyblade and had it become even more popular than the original. Adachi also has worked on other manga such as, D.M. Fighter Honoo as the author in 2006 and Kung-Fu Panda as the artist in 2008. Adachi specializes in the shonen-type of anime and manga.
