Character-specific

  • Greymon and MetalGreymon are designed after the Gomora Kaiju from Ultraman
  • Angemon's design is officially based on Kakugo from Apocalypse Zero while Devimon's design references the titular protagonist of Go Nagai's Devilman.
  • Myotismon is designed after Dracula in being a vampire lord with a grim reaper enforcer (Phantomon/Death) and a One-Winged Angel form (VenomMyotismon).
  • In the English dub, a lot of characters' voices are based on celebrities, many from the writers' and producers' childhoods. For example, Gatomon's voice has some Eartha Kitt influence because she's a cat.
