Revision as of 23:38, 8 January 2014


Takuya Kanbara

Takuya begins the series as a typical "goggle boy", (only he wears a hat underneath his gray and square goggles)—energetic and athletic, but tending to act without thinking and very stubborn. He has a strong sense of justice, and tries to use his power to do what he believes is right.

His Spirit Evolutions are as follows:

    • Rookie: Flamemon, a small humanoid with goat-like features and red hair. He temporarily becomes this form for an episode in the Real World
    • Human Hybrid: Agunimon (Agnimon),a demon man digimon. He resembles a human wearing dragon armor that is reminiscent of Greymon
    • Beast Hybrid: BurningGreymon (Vritramon), A demon dragon digimon. A vaguely humanoid dragon with an Arm Cannon on each wrist
    • Advance Hybrid: Aldamon, a demon man digimon. Basically, Agunimon's head and hands on BurningGreymon's body.
    • Zeta Hybrid: EmperorGreymon (KaiserGreymon), A dragon warrior digimon. More or less a heavily armored WarGreymon with a huge sword that doubles as a crossbow.

 Voiced by: Junko Takeuchi (JP), Michael Reisz (EN)

Koji Minamoto (Minamoto Kouji)

Koji starts the series as the group loner - a kid who wanted friends, but never had the chance to make any because he had to change schools too many times. He showed up to help the other Digi Destined from time to time, and then eventually joins the group permanently. He often distances himself from the others, refusing to let anyone get too close to him.

His Spirit Evolutions are as follows:

    • Human Hybrid: Lobomon(Wolfmon),a warrior digimon. His appearance is that of a human wearing wolf themed armor that vaguely resembles Garurumon
    • Beast Hybrid: KendoGarurumon (Garmmon), A cyborg digimon. A robotic wolf with wings and roller skates. Strongly resembles MetalGarurumon
    • Advance Hybrid: Beowulfmon, a warrior digimon. Basically, Lobomon wearing parts of KendoGarurumon as armor and weapons.
    • Zeta Hybrid: MagnaGarurumon, A cyborg digimon. A humanoid wolf wearing heavy armor and artillery

 Voiced by: Hiroshi Kamiya (JP), Steve Staley (EN)

Zoe Orimoto (Orimoto Izumi)

"I won't act like someone I'm not just so I can be popular."

Zoe is very kind and while she fights, she does it to protect others and herself. As Ranamon put it, she's usually too nice to kill an enemy.

Her spirit evolutions are as follows:

    • Human Hybrid: Kazemon(Fairymon),a fairy digimon. She is an attractive girl wearing purple armor with butterfly wings
    • Beast Hybrid: Zephyrmon(Shutumon), A bird-man digimon. Resembles a more mature looking Kazemon with more feral armor and large bird wings as well as an odd bird wing shaped haircut.

 Voiced by: Sawa Ishige (JP), Michelle Ruff (EN)

Tommy Himi (Himi Tomoki)

Tommy is the youngest member of the group. He is always genuine in his feelings and looks up to Takuya Kanbara as his hero. As the series progresses, Tommy learns to stand up for himself, even fighting his own battles.

His spirit evolutions are as follows:

    • Human Hybrid: Kumamon(Chakkumon),a beast man digimon. A humanoid polar bear with green armor and a snowball cannon
    • Beast Hybrid: Korikkakumon(Blizzarmon), A beast digimon. Resembles a large white yeti with spear-tipped dread-locks and two huge axes

J.P. Shibayama (Shibayama Junpei)

At the start of the series, J.P. shows some jealousy towards Takuya Kanbara, the main character of this series for being Tommy Himi's hero and being able to combine both of his Digimon forms into a more powerful form. He also shows feelings for Zoe Orimoto, the only female of the group. J.P. also seems to have a hidden fear of being alone - despite being constantly surrounded by people when he was in the real world, he felt that he had never really been anyone's real friend.

His spirit evolutions are as follows:

    • Human Hybrid: Beetlemon(Blitzmon),a cyborg digimon. a large humanoid beetle with electric powers
    • Beast Hybrid: MetalKabuterimon(Bolgmon), A cyborg digimon. A cross between a beetle-shaped mech and an army tank.

    • Beast Hybrid: JagerLowemon (KaiserLeomon), A cyborg digimon. A robotic black lion that vaguely resembles SaberLeomon.
    • Corrupted Human Hybrid Duskmon, a demon man digimon. Resembles a large man wearing vaguely draconic skeletal armor covered in eyes.
    • Corrupted Beast Hybrid Velgemon (Velgmon), a giant bird digimon. A giant monstrous bird with draconic features and a third eye

 Voiced by: Kenichi Suzumura (JP), Crispin Freeman (EN)

Bokomon & Neemon

 Bokomon voiced by: Kazuko Sugiyama (JP), Brian Beacock (EN)

Neemon voiced by: Masami Kikuchi (JP), Michael Sorich (EN)

Patamon/Seraphimon

One of the three Great Angels of the Digital World. After Seraphimon is killed by Mercurymon, he is turned into an egg which later hatches into Patamon.

 Patamon voiced by: Kae Araki (JP), Bridget Hoffman (EN)

Seraphimon voiced by: Nobuyuki Hiyama (JP), Jamieson Price (EN)

Ophanimon

One of the three great angels of the Digital World. She starts out the whole adventure, and a good portion of the first half of the series is spent finding her. She is killed by kerpymon but reincarnates as Salamon late in the series.

 Voiced by: Rika Fukami (JP), Mary Elizabeth McGlynn (EN)

Cherubimon

One of the Three Great Angels of the Digital World. In times passed, he was a good digimon that helped keep the peace. But now he is a corrupted monster that will stop at nothing to take over the entire digital world. Late in the series, he's revived as Lopmon.

 Voiced by: Ryuzaburo Ohtomo (JP), Paul St Peter (EN)

Lucemon

An angel digimon that once came down to the Digital World to bring peace to it due to a war between the beast and human type digimon. He eventually grew proud and fell off the narrow path and became a great evil that the Ten Legendary Warriors sealed away. He is eventually released by the Royal Knights and becomes the final boss of the show, so to speak.

His forms are as follows

    • Rookie: Lucemon, his default form. A small cute looking boy with 12 angel wings
    • Ultimate: Chaos Mode (Falldown Mode), An adult Lucemon with dark armor and half of his wings have taken on a demonic look
    • Mega: Shadowlord Mode (Satan mode), A giant demonic dragon that holds the Gehenna (hell) sphere in its hands
    • Mega: Lucemon Larva , resembles a cross between a larva, a cocoon, and an embryo with twelve golden wings

 Voiced by: Mona Marshall (EN), Kumiko Nishihara (JP), Ryusei Nakao (JP, Falldown and Satan modes)

Grumblemon (Grottomon)

A small, ugly gnome like creature. He was the first of the evil Warriors the children meet and also the first to fall. He represents earth and stone

His two evolutions are as follows:

    • Human Hybrid: Grumblemon(Grottomon), an ogre digimon. His default form
    • Beast Hybrid: Gigasmon , A mineral digimon. He's supposed to be a certain type of mythological giant called a Gigas

 Voiced by: Tomohiro Nishimura (JP), Derek Stephen Prince (EN)

Ranamon

A cute, mermaid-like digimon. She was one of the evil Legendary Warriors that the Chosen Children faced. She devloped an intense hatred of Zoe, borne out of jealousy. She represents water

Her two evolutions are as follows:

    • Human Hybrid: Ranamon , a fairy digimon. Her default form
    • Beast Hybrid: Calmaramon , An aquatic digimon. An ugly woman sprouting out of an upside down squid.

 Voiced by: Haruhi Terada (JP), Peggy O'Neal (EN)

Mercurymon (Mercuremon)

An odd looking humanoid digimon with a mirror for a face and similar mirrors for wrist guards. He was ostensibly the leader of the evil Legendary Warriors, and he was certainly the most effective (outside of Duskmon). He seemed to hold a minor grudge against Takuya, but not to the extent that Ranamon held for Zoe. He supposedly represents steel, but that is a clear case of In Name Only, as most of his attacks involve mirrors.

His three evolutions are as follows:

    • Human Hybrid: Mercurymon (Mercuremon), a mutant digimon. His default form
    • Beast Hybrid: Sakkakumon (Sephirotmon) , a mutant digimon. A weird looking creature that resembles a living sephirot. Inside each of his spheres exists a different elemental based dimension
    • Mega ShadowSeraphimon (BlackSeraphimon), a fallen angel digimon. A demonic Seraphimon.

 Voiced by: Yasunori Masutani (JP), Daran Norris (EN)

Arbormon

A wooden cyborg digimon. He was one of the Evil Legendary Warriors that fought the Chosen Children. For a time he gave the children trouble with his beast spirit, but was eventually brought down via teamwork and destroyed by Duskmon. He represents wood.

His two evolutions are as follows:

    • Human Hybrid: Arbormon, a cyborg digimon. His default form
    • Beast Hybrid: Petaldramon , A plant digimon. A large living plant that resembles a dragon.

 Voiced by: Kenji Nomura (JP), Richard Cansino (EN)

Crusadermon (LordKnightmon)

An effiment Holy Knight digimon. Crusadermon was one of the two Royal Knights that were hired by Lucemon to destroy all of the digital world. Crusadermon was often matched off in a fight with MagnaGarurumon, and was the first of the two knights to start having trouble, being the weaker of the two.

  Voiced by: Ryotaro Okiayu (JP), Melodee Spevack (EN)

Dynasmon

Dynasmon is a draconic Holy Knight Digimon. He was one of the two Royal Knights hired by Lucemon to gather all of the digital world's data. He usually squared off against EmperorGreymon, and being by far the stronger of the two knights, was the last to start having trouble with the Chosen Children. He was also the most devoted to Lucemon's cause. He is thematically based off of the Wyvern.

  Voiced by: Kenta Miyake (JP), Derek Stephen Prince (EN)
