Relatives

    Jun Motomiya 

Jun Motomiya

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/14844909_714.png

Jun is Davis's older sister, and they're alike to the hair. She doesn't figure much into the plot, but has a large crush on Matt. After the infamous Christmas episode, she drops her thing for Matt and then locks-on to Joe's eldest brother, Shuu.

Voiced by: Kazusa Murai (JP), Peggy O'Neal (EN), Pilar Domínguez (Spain), Janeth Bejarano (Latin America)

  • Abhorrent Admirer: She’s got a huge crush on Matt, much to the latter’s annoyance. She stops being one after he gets together with Sora.
  • Adapted Out: Nowhere to be seen in the Tokyopop manhua adaptation.
  • Anime Hair: In the same style as Taichi, oddly enough.
  • Ascended Extra: Kari's section of the Where Are They Now CD Drama includes her receiving a partner (along with Shuu, Chizuru, and Momoe). None of the partners are given any description.
  • Barely-Changed Dub Name: Jun in the Japanese version and June in the English dub.
  • Cloud Cuckoo Lander: She acts rather immature and borders on a Loony Fan towards Matt.
  • Fangirl: First Matt, then Shuu.
  • I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: The hate from Matt/anyone shippers is doubly ridiculous, since she actually gave up on Matt willingly as soon as she saw him with Sora and showed no bad feelings towards them, aside of just moping around a bit like almost any teenage girl would. If Tai was the chosen one, she would likely behave the same way - and maybe even more, considering that Tai is Davis's Big Brother Mentor of sorts.
  • Kiddie Kid: She is 17 years old but acts very childishly sometimes, particularly when it comes to romance.
  • Lamarck Was Right: The anniversary book tells us Jun got her fangirl personality from her mother.
  • Living Lie Detector: Jun knows her way around a few poker tells, which is how she got Matt to go out on a date with her in the first place (by not ratting him out when he came by and lied to her face about her brother coming home late).
  • Obfuscating Stupidity: Don't be fooled. When she's on her game, she knows how to make your day miserable.
  • Official Couple: With Joe's eldest brother Shuu. It's All There in the Manual according to the Michi e no Armor Shinka! audio drama; by that point she even goes to meet Shuu's parents before a Valentine's date, meaning their relationship is going pretty steady.
  • Older Than They Look: You'd be forgiven for assuming she was the same three years older than Davis as it is with the Kamiya and Ishida/Takaishi siblings. Even with the hair, she's shorter than Matt.
  • Plucky Girl: Spends the entirety of the Kimeramon arc following Matt to a campground after he "accidentally" left her behind, never really losing her cheerful disposition.
  • Rise of Zitboy: In one episode.
  • Tomboy and Girly Girl: The tomboy to Momoe, the eldest of Yolei's two sisters.

    Chikara Hida 

Chikara Hida

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/320px_chikara.jpg

Iorinote 's grandfather and Kendo sensei. Though he plays a minor role through the series, he is always there to dispense advice to his grandson, unaware of what Iori has gotten into. However, near the end, he learns about the Digimon, and helps cover for Iori.

Voiced by Kosei Tomita (JP), Dan Lorge (EN)

  • Continuity Cameo: Makes a brief appearance in the novelization of season one.
  • Fantasy-Forbidding Father: When Iori's father was a child, Chikara became disturbed when Hiroki started spending most of his time talking to his video games and about going to 'that world'. Afraid that his son was losing his grip, Chikara forbid Hiroki from his games or spending time with the friend who shared this obsession, Yukio Oikawa.
  • Nerves of Steel: He confronts Oikawa, who has a pair of powerful Digimon at his disposal, to call him out on his actions and try to make amends.
  • Old Master: Iori's kendo sensei, and always ready with advice.
  • Outliving One's Offspring: His son Hiroki was killed taking a bullet for a political figure.
  • Retired Badass: According to supplementary materials, he's a retired police officer, though still gives kendo lessons to both his grandson and to other cops.
  • Parental Substitute: Became this for Iori when Hiroki was killed in the line of duty.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: After the Fantasy-Forbidding Father event above, he learns decades later that in doing so, he accidentally provoked Oikawa's obsession and reliance on using the power of darkness to reach the digital world. He confronts Oikawa on that, apologizes for not having helped him when he desperately needed it and tries to reach for him.

    Haruhiko Takenouchi 

Sora's father, who was only mentioned in the original series. He's a history professor in Kyoto University and travels around Japan to make research. He finally appears in the second one, where he and his disciple Shuu Kidou help out Miyako when a Digimon attack hits Kyoto.

Voiced by Toshiyuki Morikawa (JP), R. Martin Klein (EN), Rafael Rivera (Latin America)

    Mr. and Mrs. Ichijouji 

Ken Ichijouji's parents. They're proud of his son's academic and athletic achievements, largely unaware of the many issues that brew inside him.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mr_and_mrs_ichijouji_7.jpg

Voiced by: Masafumi Kimura and Asako Dodo (Japanese), Frank Catalano and Wendee Lee (English), Alma Moreno (Mrs. Ichijouji, Latin America)

  • Adapted Out: They're absent in the Tokyopop manhua.
  • Be Yourself: While Ken is suffering from amnesia from the trauma of his Heel Realization, they tell him they don't want him to be like Osamu anymore, and that he has his own merits.
  • Good Parents: Once they finally realize how much they hurt Ken, first by being neglectful and then only loving him as a shadow of Osamu, their relationship improves greatly.
  • Missing Child: They're visibly worried when Ken suddenly vanishes from his room without a trace, and spend the following weeks searching for him. Considering they've already lost a son, it's no surprise.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: It's not until Ken decides to stay at the Digital World permanently that they finally start realizing how much pressure they put on him by trying to make him act like Osamu.
  • Outliving One's Offspring: Their older son died in an accident at a very young age.
  • Parental Neglect: Unintentionally; first they neglected Ken because they were too caught up in praising Osamu, and after his death they were too caught up in their grief.
  • Parents as People: They're very nice people, but having a young prodigy as a son clearly got a bit to their heads, and made them neglectful to their younger one. It even continued after Osamu's death, since they were too caught up in their grief to pay him attention. They also realize that perhaps they also did this with Osamu himself when he was alive, wondering if he was actually as happy with his studies as he seemed.
  • Unnamed Parent: Notably in that they're among the few parents of major characters whose names remain unknown, despite their relative importance to the plot.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Their Parental Neglect of Ken played a major factor in his descent into the darkness, and by extension on all the events during the first half of the second season.

    Osamu Ichijouji 

Osamu Ichijouji (Sam Ichijouji)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sam_ichijouji.jpg

Ken's late older brother who died in a car accident in 2000. He was a Child Prodigy like Ken is at the beginning of the series and drew immense envy from his little brother.

Voiced by: Romi Park (Japanese), Raquel Martín (Spain), Uraz Huerta (Latin America)

  • The Ace: Unlike Ken, Osamu was a natural prodigy, being good in studying and sports, and he was very popular. Semi-Deconstructed however, as it's shown that he was placed under crushing stress from the pressure to succeed to the point where his emotional state suffered.
  • Adventure Rebuff: The Digivice that appeared was meant for Ken, but Osamu mistakenly thought it was for him and became very possessive of it. Subverted, though, because Osamu presumably never found out what the thing was or what would have entailed.
  • Ambiguous Situation: We only get to see him through Ken's emotionally charged flashbacks. The scenes taking place before the appearance of the Digivice openly idealize Osamu, portraying him as an incredibly kind person, while the rest, set after the event, show him as an authoritarian bully. It's unclear whether this reflects faithfully Osamu's personality change or it's just that Ken's own memory is just biased in both directions (a phenom known in psychology as splitting).
  • Big Brother Bully: Downplayed. After Ken's first trip to the world, Osamu found Ken playing with the Digivice that he thought was his, and exploded at him. Much of it was Osamu snapping under pressure to succeed. On the whole, though, Osamu was a good big brother. The lighting of that scene (combined with the fact that he was returning from the Digital World after having just been infected by the Dark Spore) might also imply that Ken's perspective of what was going on (or his recollection of it) were a bit skewed. Due to his death, Osamu died before he can apologize to Ken and made peace and also Osamu died before he got a chance to realize that the Digivice was for Ken not him.
  • Big Brother Instinct: Normally when not under stress, Osamu was a good brother to Ken and loved blowing bubbles with him from their balcony. It's also implied that he died because he pushed Ken out of the way of an incoming car.
  • Death of a Child: He was only 11 when he was fatally struck by a car.
  • Legacy Character: Ken's Kaiser persona sports Osamu's exact haircut and wears glasses that evoke his, and is overbearing and tyrannical, roughly how the young Ken viewed Osamu after the Digital World entered their lives. This implies Ken either consciously or unconsciously took a persona modeled after Osamu in order to prove that, in way, now he was Osamu and had all of his privileges and power.
  • Outliving One's Offspring: Both of Osamu’s and Ken’s parents, along with Ken himself, outlived him.
  • Parental Favoritism: Ken believed that his parents were like this towards him.
  • Posthumous Character: He's been dead for two years prior at the beginning of the series.
  • Scary Shiny Glasses: Shown in the scene where Ken returns from the Digital World and Osamu just happens to find out that his brother took "his" Digivice without permission. In this scene, in which Ken started to hate his brother, the glasses in combination with his hair make him look like the Digimon Kaiser.
  • Strong Family Resemblance: Ken's Digimon Kaiser persona looks a lot like him, perhaps intentional on his part.

Digimon

    BlackWarGreymon 

BlackWarGreymon

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/BlackWarGreymon_9024.jpg

"Time? I've given you time to answer all of my questions, and you haven't answered one yet. I should just destroy you and move on. It seems to be my purpose in life, and if that's so, then so be it. I will dedicate myself to being the most powerful... But I have to know if that is my true destiny, or if there is something more for me in this world than just fighting. Y'know, like a reason why I'm here. For some, it's money. Others, power. And for you perhaps, friendship. But I have to know the reason why I was created."

Created from a hundred Dark Towers as the ultimate evil Digimon, he is a dark clone of the final form of Agumon. He is hell-bent on destroying the Holy Stones of the Digital World as he believes it will solve the existential crisis he suffers from due to his unusual origin, but he may not be as bad as he appears.

Voiced by: Nobuyuki Hiyama (JP), Steve Blum (EN), Eugenio Barona (Spain), Héctor Moreno (Latin America)

  • Alas, Poor Villain: He only wanted to search for the meaning of his existence and cure his inner suffering even it was almost destroying the Digital World's balance. He finally meets his fate by sealing the digital gate in Hikarigaoka with his data.
  • Alien Blood: Whatever comes out of his armor after he was defeated by the DNA Digivolutions, it looks like oil or maybe High-Pressure Blood.
  • Anti-Villain: Since his birth he wasn't truly a Digimon who wanted to cause chaos in the Digital World for the sake of Arukenimon. He only wanted to find the meaning of his existence as he considers himself an anti-natural creation, search a Worthy Opponent and relieve the pain he was feeling from the Holy Stones.
  • Armor-Piercing Question:
    BlackWarGreymon: I wish to look upon the face of my creator.
    Arukenimon: You've come all this way to see what you've already seen, then. I gave you life from just the tiny hairs on my head.
    BlackWarGreymon: Perhaps, but who gave you life? And who is your creator, Mummymon?
  • Beta Test Baddie: BlackWarGreymon's anomalous origin as a cluster of Dark Towers mixed with Arukenimon's hair makes him anguish over his purpose in life, as he refuses to believe he only exists to do the bad guys' bidding.
  • Big "NO!": When he sees a tiny flower about to be crushed by a Mammothmon.
  • Blood Knight: He seeks to find the most powerful opponent he can find and defeat them, believing it to be his destiny.
  • Born as an Adult: From start to finish he spends his life in the form of a Mega level Digimon.
  • Break Them by Talking:
    BlackWarGreymon: Did you create your two flunkies because you were afraid to be alone? What's the matter, cat got your tongue?
    Oikawa: That's absurd! Do you really think I'm that foolish? I can obliterate you in a heartbeat, don't forget that!"
    BlackWarGreymon: "Do you think that power is going to bring you happiness? If you do, then you're living in a dream. Power is isn't going to help you escape the loneliness you feel because you don't have any friends. It just makes it worse. Take it from me, the more powerful you get, the more alone you become. Can't take the truth, can you?
  • Curbstomp Battle: During the Holy Stone Arc, he becomes a headache for the kids due to his massive power and Mega level, squashing the main Digimon, who hadn't reach said level. He had to be stopped by the almighty Azulongmon.
  • Dark Is Not Evil: More of a Well-Intentioned Extremist, but he is not really an evil Digimon much to the surprise of Arukenimon and Mummymon. He doesn't want to team up with any side, only to find a meaning in his life.
  • Death Seeker: Is called out on being one by Wormmon. He, Veemon and Agumon try to convince him to live life instead.
  • Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life: Given he's an artificial Digimon, he's desperate to a purpose, any purpose to his existence other than what Arukenimon decided for him. This makes him dangerous because his "purpose" can swing from "helpful" to "harmful" day by day.
  • The Determinator: Bleeding oil and having a good portion of his armor destroyed didn't stop him from trying to pick a fight with Azulongmon.
  • The Dragon: He was supposed to be this for Arukenimon, but he abandoned her immediately. The fact that his following actions during that arc matched Arukenimon's plans was pure coincidence; he was never loyal to her.
  • The Dreaded: As one of the few Mega level Digimon in the series, an expert in Curbstomp Battle and an anti-natural force of destruction and chaos, every digital monster becomes afraid of him whenever he appears, even a Kuwagamon. Keep in mind that Kuwagamon are violent Digimon who attack even when unprovoked. The fact that one was terrified of him and hoped he'd ignore it shows how feared BlackWarGreymon is.
  • Empty Shell: He's an interesting take on one in that he has emotions, they're just all negative ones. The resulting incompleteness of his emotional range leaves him feeling more empty than if he had no emotions at all.
  • Energy Ball: Like the original WarGreymon, he has the same attacks like Terra Destroyer although a darker version.
  • Evil Knockoff: A dark spire copy of WarGreymon.
  • Evil Sounds Deep: In the Dub. To contrast WarGreymon's heroic tone, BlackWarGreymon has a low grumbling voice courtesy of Steve Blum.
  • Evil Twin: He is a WarGreymon with a shifted palette of colors that wants to destroy everything to find the meaning of his existence.
  • Evil Versus Evil: Going against Oikawa, Mummymon and Arukenimon.
  • Girly Run: A rather noticeable one in "Cody Takes a Stand".
  • Heel–Face Turn: He starts off as a Blood Knight and a Death Seeker, but his quest to find a greater purpose in his life leads him to join the forces of good.
  • Hellish Pupils: Unlike WarGreymon's green eyes with round pupils, he has yellow eyes with slitted pupils, emphasizing his Blood Knight nature.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: He gets in the way of an attack meant for Cody's grandfather and uses his data after his death to seal the digital gate of Hikarigaoka.
  • Hoist Hero over Head: Did this to Ankylomon during his debut in episode 30.
  • I'm Having Soul Pains: When the first Holy Stone is damaged by Knightmon, he feels an excruciating pain provoking him to destroy every stone to mitigate it.
  • Invincible Villain: Was this during most of his time in the series due to him being a Mega-level Digimon. It had to take for Angemon and Ankylomon to DNA-Digivolve to Shakkoumon for the DigiDestined to be able to stand up to him.
  • Ironic Echo:
    BlackWarGreymon: Move, or else!
    Paildramon: We choose 'else'!

    Paildramon: Don't take another step, or else!
    BlackWarGreymon: I choose 'or else'!
  • Killed Off for Real: Since he was created from Dark Towers and therefore is not a true Digimon, he doesn't have the ability to be reborn like all other Digimon do.
  • Lightning Bruiser: A very fast and powerful Mega level Digimon who is also quite sturdy. This combination makes him damn near invincible against any Digimon of lower level.
  • Lizard Folk: A humanoid Dragon-type Digimon.
  • Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: He tries to stop the Digimon's attacks, until Shakkoumon comes in and destroys it.
  • Made of Evil: He was created by Arukenimon using the combination of 100 Dark Towers.
  • Man of Kryptonite: Since he is made of Dark Towers.
  • Mirror Match: "Duel of the WarGreymon" has him duel with WarGreymon to a standstill.
  • Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Really all you need to hear to know he's bad news is the WarGreymon in his name making it clear he's an evil WarGreymon.
  • Noble Demon: Not counting other Dark Tower-made Digimon, he merely beat Digimon instead of destroying them, and he always gave the DigiDestined the chance to stand aside whenever they confronted him at a Destiny Stone.
  • Non-Mammalian Hair: Since he is based on the android Greymon family and a darker version, he has hair sprouting outside his helmet.
  • One-Man Army: As one of the few Mega level Digimon, he can beat anyone with any single touch he does without any injuries.
  • Palette Swap: As an Evil Twin of WarGreymon, he switches his colors to black, darker grey and yellow.
  • Pet the Dog: He protects a flower from a Mammothmon, though this turns into Kick the Morality Pet when, in his frustration, he crushes it himself.
  • Psychopathic Manchild:
    Mummymon: Calm down, big fella!
    BlackWarGreymon: Don't tell me what to do ever again! (kicks a rock at him)
    Arukenimon: BlackWarGreymon is acting just like a big crybaby who can't find his favorite toy. But we better be careful, he's an incredibly dangerous crybaby.
  • Redemption Equals Death: He protects Cody's grandfather from Oikawa, and uses what's left of his strength to seal the Highton View Terrace gateway.
  • Senseless Sacrifice: Subverted. While in the end his sealing of the Highton View Terrace didn't accomplish anything, He did save the life of Cody’s grandfather, preventing Cody from losing yet another loved one.
  • Single-Stroke Battle: How he massacres four Mammothmon.
  • Skyward Scream: "Why do I feel so empty!?"
  • Spin Attack: His Black Tornado, as he has the same attacks of WarGreymon, which consists in spinning his body at high speed and attack his enemy with it.
  • Super-Strength: As a Mega level and not a very impressive size, he has sufficent strength to lift a Mammothmon and very powerful attacks.
    • Control Spires can take multiple attacks from champion level digimon before they finally go down, but BlackWarGreymon can literally just walk right through them like they aren't even there, toppling them. In "Duel of the WarGreymon", he was fighting both WarGreymon and Imperialdramon in Fighter Mode, Mega level Digimon like him, with one at least able to match his power. BlackGreymon still was fighting despite the disadvantage.
  • Taking the Bullet: For Cody's grandfather as Oikawa "attacks" him with some evil energy.
  • Torso with a View: Oikawa's attack leaves him a massive hole in his stomach, enough to predict his end.
  • Turned Against Their Masters: Although Arukenimon created him, it doesn't take long for him to abandon her, saying he wouldn't take orders from someone weaker than him. He also becomes determined to kill Arukenimon's master Oikawa, though he's talked out of doing so by the heroes.
  • Unholy Nuke: His version of WarGreymon's Terra Force, Terra Destroyer, is said to be comprised of "one-hundred percent negative energy."
  • Villainous Breakdown: "I keep asking questions of my enemies, and yet I still get no answers. Why am I so different from them? Why was I created like this? Well, if they won't answer me, then why should I be concerned about them anymore? I have given every opponent the chance to convince me otherwise, but now I am through talking. Why should I care if they are destroyed? Or for that matter, their whole precious Digital World?! Destroying the Destiny Stone means my own destruction as well, but if that's what it takes to finally find my answer, then so be it."
  • Villainous Valor: Shakkoumon shows up and is the first thing to really start to hurt him, and despite taking a beating from him and Paildramon and Silphymon, he still gets back up, and promptly comes up to all three of them.
  • Walking Wasteland: He warps the ground he walks on.
  • What Measure Is a Non-Human?: Arukenimon's creations before and after him had no free will or intelligence and were bent on doing whatever she told them to do. Thus the DigiDestined had no problems destroying them. BlackWarGreymon somehow ended up gaining free will due to the number of Control Spires used to make him, leaving everyone unsure of what to do about him. Even he wondered if he was really alive or not, which was the primary source of his constant frustration.
  • Wild Card: He doesn't work for Arukenimon, but he's still bad news for the heroes. Even when he comes back, he's all about killing Oikawa, but the Chosen Children have to stop from doing that. His Heel–Face Turn comes very late.
  • Wolverine Claws: The gauntlets of his armor that wield the Dramon Destroyers.
  • Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: He keeps destroying the Holy Stones to alleviate his sorrow and find Azulongmon even if that means the unbalance of the Digital World and the real world.
  • Worthy Opponent: He decided finding one of these would do until he discovered his true purpose.
  • You Can't Handle the Parody:
    BlackWarGreymon: My existence? What do you mean? I want the truth!
    Azulongmon: You can't handle the truth!

    Azulongmon (Qinglongmon) 

One of the Four Harmonious Ones (Digimon Sovereign in later installments), four of the most powerful Digimon in existance, and the being BlackWarGreymon dedicates himself to finding and fighting.

Voiced by: Jurota Kosugi (JP), David Lodge (EN)

  • Big Good: As one of the Four Harmonious Ones, he helped out the DigiDestined several times without them knowing. After his physical appearance and stopping BlackWarGreymon, he becomes more active in helping the heroes, even giving the original eight DigiDestined one of his data cores in order to let them Digivolve past Champion near the end of Adventure 02.
  • Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Despite the opening of the fourth instalment of tri dedicating itself to showing the origins of him and his fellows, he goes completely unmentioned in the rest of the story.
  • Giant Flyer: He's a huge Eastern Dragon.
  • Greater-Scope Paragon: As one of the Four Harmonious Ones. He's also Gennai's boss.
  • Irony: His power that allows Paildramon to evolve into Imperialdramon in order to stop a wild Triceramon becomes retroactively ironic after Digimon Adventure tri. and the VPet merchandise reveal that Azulongmon used to be a Triceramon himself.
  • King of All Cosmos: He's much goofier in the English version since the English dub is a partial Gag Dub, in comparison to the original Japanese version where he is more serious. Despite this, he still effortlessly No Sells BlackWarGreymon's attempt to fight him in both versions.
  • Mr. Exposition: Largely shows up to fill the kids in on a few background matters, then disappears again.
  • Our Dragons Are Different: Azulongmon looks like a living pile of lightning in dragon shape, held together by chains.
  • Precursor Heroes: tri reveals he and the other Harmonious Ones were the partners to the first DigiDestined.
  • Sealed Badass in a Can: The Dark Masters managed to seal him and his fellows when they took over the Digital World in Adventure 01. They were freed between series, but then Ken started putting up the Control Spires, which sealed them away again.
  • Story-Breaker Power: The main reason he and the other Harmonious Ones don't do anything; they'd instantly steam-roll pretty much anything in their path.
  • Worf Had the Flu: When he first appears, he says he's been massively drained from spending the last several months sealed away, and yet he's able to smack BlackWarGreymon down with a single attack.

    Ryo Akiyama 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ryoakiyama02.jpg
A mysterious character from Ken's flashbacks. Ryo was a fellow New Chosen Children involved in the adventures that ended up with Ken infected with Millenniumon's Dark Spores.


  • All There in the Manual: At the series' heyday, you would have to play the Japan-exclusive Digimon (WonderSwan Series) to know who he is and what exactly happened with Ken and him.
  • Ambiguous Situation: Ken's flashbacks are cryptic and obscure for a viewer approaching the series without knowing the games. They only reveal that Ken had his own adventures in the Digital World as a younger child, that he had a slightly older human comrade, and that they somehow defeated together a massive evil Digimon who then accidentally infected Ken with the Dark Spores when he jumped to protect the other boy. For any other piece of info, the viewer had to look it up on the Internet.
  • The Cameo: Only appears in two brief flashbacks in episodes 23 and 43, and none of them focuses on him. The picture at the right catches the only moment in which he is even clearly seen onscreen.
  • Hero of Another Story: He and Ken defeated Millenniumon together, but this is only barely shown.
  • Minor Major Character: The flashbacks clearly imply Ken and his friend were in something big, that with Millenniumon looking like an impressive villain and actually kickstarting all the plot of 02, but nothing else is shown.
  • No Name Given: The boy who was with Ken and Wormmon in the flashbacks is never named or even referred to.
  • Unknown Character: He's shown in the flashbacks, and the various dubs generally have Wormmon telling Ken that they all three used to roam the digital world, but absolutely nothing is said about him in the series, not even the name.
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: For an unaware viewer, his presence with Ken in the flashback technically implies he is a DigiDestined (albeit he is not shown with a partner, unlike Ken), but he doesn't appear in the series proper, even although many other DigiDestined from all around the world are shown. Again, to know why it's necessary to play the games.

    Nacchan 
A young girl from the Natsu e no Tobira drama CD. One summer, Daisuke and Chibimon visit New York to see Mimi (with a surprise visit from Wallace), their encounter is quickly sidetracked when they get drawn into a wintry, empty New York and Daisuke starts hearing voices. The voices inevitably lead Daisuke to the sole inhabitant of the winter wasteland, who takes an absolute shine to him.
  • Alone Among the Couples: Downplayed; Nacchan's been alone all her life, and she finds it a bitter pill to swallow when the entire group of people she meets are already so close with their partner Digimon.
  • Ambiguous Ending: Her character arc. Natsu is apparently a Digimon, is plagued by evil data that makes her a monster, and ultimately dies and is reborn in Digi-egg form. Daisuke and the others start running around New York to find her partner before she hatches again.
  • Because You Were Nice to Me: Inverted. Nacchan takes an interest in Daisuke because he's the one who heard her calling, and is later delighted to learn how nice he actually is.
  • Irony: She and Daisuke talk about having partners, and Daisuke suggests she might have a Digi-egg of her own to look after one day. She's reduced to her own Digi-egg by the end of the story.
  • Friendless Background: Nacchan's been alone her whole life.
  • Love Interest: For Daisuke. Mimi ships them mostly by teasing Daisuke.
  • Meaningful Name: Mimi names her Nacchan, for the summer (Natsu), but she doesn't accept it without first asking Daisuke.
  • Operation: Jealousy: After Daisuke declines to go along with her and ditch the others, she makes a point of showering Wallace with attention. She immediately ditches Wallace when she has a chance to get Daisuke alone.
  • Spell My Name With An S: The Digital Scratch translation mistakenly writes her name as Nat-chan, but the actual Japanese is transliterated to Nacchan.
  • Sugar-and-Ice Personality: Nacchan is positively frigid to everyone who isn't Daisuke, but especially Chibimon.
  • You Are Not Alone: The climax of the story is Daisuke reminding her of this to talk her down from her Tragic Monster state.
