Julio Rivera (フリオ・リベラ Furio Ribera?) is a Peruvian
archaeologist from the South American Andes who transforms into Beetle Fighter Genji (ＢＦゲンジ Bī Faitā Genji?).
History[]
Julio Rivera is a young man who loves nature[1], and he also understands the meaning of the Beetle Fighters, where nature and machines are in harmony. At first, he was hesitant to give it to Ran Ayukawa in order to discourage Ran, who has an absolute view of computers, but when she knew it was necessary, he gave her the Bright Pointer. He played a reed flute with strange powers that he gave to Ran as a memento of their time together. He was chosen by the Firefly Insect Medal to become Genji, whose armor was modeled after a firefly.
