History

Background

Karato Bean is a five time national surf champion. Prior to the first season, Karato had a video game deal in the works, but he decided to enter the ILB in memory of their late father, who she had a tumultuous relationship with. They honestly would much rather be surfing right now.

Season 5 Positional Change

On Day 6 of Season 5, Bevan Wise and Oscar Dollie were teaching York Silk how to do magic in the outfield. Unfortunately, there was an accident that caused chaotic reverberations, after which, all the Fridays found themselves in different positions. Karato decided they liked batting and being in the outfield, saying, "I can finally surf while playing blaseball." It's not entirely clear how they surf the outfield or around the bases when the Fridays aren't playing near a body of water, and at this point, reporters are too afraid to ask.

Season 6 Surfing Accident

As one of the only professional surfers not intimidated by Summers Pony's muscles, Karato offered to teach Pony how to surf on day 62 of season 6 in the middle of the game. Pony was given new boots for surfing, incidentally also helping their traction while baserunning, but unfortunately, at the top of the 7th, both Bean and Pony crashed into each other. Neither were injured, although Karato's favorite surfboard was destroyed. Karato only said, "It, like, works, but, you know, it's not the same," in the post game interview before leaving for the beach.

Trivia

• When stepping onto the mound, the crowd simultaneously cheers "Surf's Up!" to get Karato energized and "Surf's Down!" to discourage Karato from leaving in the middle of the game to surf.
• As a pitcher, she was known for giving up several runs in the late innings of a game.
