Well, welcome back everyone. I know it's been a long time since I've updated this, but the entirety of 2012 was long and stressful. I actually moved back to Japan in March of 2012 for a new job, but that job was terribly stressful and it ended in March 2013. I managed to find another job here in Japan (luckily in March) and had to relocate and get settled. This job is definitely less stressful and I decided to go back to this fic. Once again, I apologize for the long break, but I promise to start updating chapters more.
Now that that's out of the way, this chapter is going to be just as goofy as the first chapter...or maybe not. This is just going to introduce you all to the characters of this story. It's a way to give you a bit of background information before some of these characters actually show up. I'm also going to leave this in script format…so no telling on me now, people. lol Also, if you don't want to read this part, it's not necessary. As I pointed out, it's just a character description section. The real story begins in the next chapter.
Now, as always, I do not own anything dealing with the Digimon series or franchise. Bandai and Toei have that honor.
Chapter 02: Character Information...
Tentomon: Now that you all have read the official first chapter of this story, we Digimon are here to tell you about the upcoming characters.
Armadimon: It'll save RP the trouble of keeping the character in suspense when they show up, d'gya.
Patamon: So, who starts?
Tentomon: I should, of course!
Betamon: Why you? Why not me or somebody else?
Tentomon: Because I said so, and I will probably definitely have a bigger role than you!
All of the other Digimon start to fight and argue amongst one another, not counting a certain yellow-gloved feline.
Tailmon: HOLD IT!
Everyone stopped arguing, and turned their attentions towards Tailmon.
Tailmon: There's only one way to settle this!
Agumon: How?
Tentomon: (Holds up a red and white sphere) With a battle of course! (Throws out the sphere) Monster Ball, go! *Sutoraiku, I choose you!
The sphere that Tentomon tossed was empty, which caused him to blush in embarrassment. All of the Digimon just sighed at the scene.
Tentomon: Um...hehehe...where did that Sutoraiku get to...
Tailmon: Um...y-yeah. Anyway, we either go by age, or either we go by the Digimental and/or Crest that our partners possess.
V-mon: But that still doesn't explain the order.
Gabumon: V-mon's right. Some of our partners are the same age.
Tailmon: You're right, so how about this. All of us are candidates to go first except for Palmon and Tentomon.
Palmon: Why?
Tentomon: (Whines) Why can't I go first?!
Tailmon: Because we have already seen your human partners.
Palmon: No we haven't! The only Chosen we've seen so far has been Koushirou! We haven't been introduced to my Mimi yet!
Tailmon: Hm, then it's because Mimi was a main character for RP's fic, Koushirou's Search.
Palmon: (Mumbles) That doesn't sound very fair to me...
Tentomon: I don't want to go last! Since we've seen Koushirou-han already, I should go first!
Tailmon: You two are going last whether you want to or not! (Takes out claws) Have I made myself clear? !"
Both nod vigorously.
Palmon: Crystal clear.
Tentomon: (Gulps) You're the boss.
Tailmon: (Smiles) Good. (Retracts claws) Here's how the order will be. Agumon, Gabumon, along with Piyomon, and V-mon will go first. Next will be Patamon, Wormmon, along with Hawkmon, and me. After that set, it will be Gomamon, Armadimon, and Betamon. Last, will be Palmon and then Tentomon. Is that okay?
Tentomon: But I don't want to go last!
Tailmon: (Shakes head and takes her claws out again) Is everybody okay with my decision?!
Everyone nods and no one protests.
Tailmon: (To herself) I should probably do this every time I want something done my way. I never thought that it'd actually work. Hehe. (Retracts her claws) Good, now let's get started. Hawkmon, go get the board set up.
Hawkmon: Why?
Tailmon: So that way we can put up the stats of each character.
Hawkmon: Okay, but wouldn't that take up even more space and time?
Tailmon: Maybe, but at least it'll be more organized.
Hawkmon pulls out a whiteboard.
Hawkmon: Okay, ready for you Agumon. (Hands him the marker) Here you go.
Agumon: Thanks Hawkmon. (Writes information on the board)
Yagami Family
Taichi: Ambassador
Suzuko: Housewife
Sugita: Son
Tentomon: Very informative there, Agumon...
Agumon: (Ignores Tentomon's sarcasm) Taichi, for this story, is 41 and an ambassador to the Digital World with me by his side. He helps to keep both my world and the human world safe. He still follows the sport of soccer, and even gives his son tips on how to improve his game. Right now, though, he's currently dealing with a Digital World crisis, but isn't letting anyone in on what the crisis actually is, except for Miyako. He would share the information with Koushirou, but he doesn't want to bother him since he's been so down lately.
Suzuko, who lets me call her Suzu-chan, is really pretty with long dark hair and she makes really good meals! Before getting married to Taichi, she was a professional chef! She makes such good snacks and foods! I always look forward to her meals! Suzu-chan also gets along really well with Yamato and she seems to always clean. She always likes to have everything nice and neat. Suzu-chan and Taichi are also the same age.
Sugita is their friendly son and he has Koromon as a partner. He looks a lot like Taichi to me, and is always full of energy! He's an average third-year student at Odaiba Elementary School, but isn't a part of the Soccer Club or anything, even though he likes playing soccer. He also likes playing video games a lot along with the Digimon Trading Card Game. He hates being by himself, which is why he hangs around his friends a lot, but it's gotten better since he met Koromon. Hm, what else does he like...um...he likes to read manga, his favorite types are shounen and adventure! If I could think of something he dislikes, I guess it would be the fact that Taichi isn't at home much anymore because of his job.
Everyone claps as Agumon steps away.
Gabumon: Hello everyone. Piyomon and I are here to tell you about Yamato and Sora.
Piyomon: Hawkmon, we need another marker.
Hawkmon hands Piyomon a marker while Gabumon erases the board. Both start to write furiously, which causes Tentomon to sigh.
Ishida-Takenouchi Family
Yamato: Astronaut, 41
Sora: Fashion Designer, 41
Ishida Kiyoko: Student, 9
Takenouchi Shoyo: Student, 7
Tentomon: You two are as bad as Agumon...
Piyomon: As you can see, Yamato and Sora ended up married to each other and they ended up having two children together!
Gabumon: Yamato became an astronaut. Even though he's always had his heart in music, he only liked it as a hobby...he never truly wanted to pursue a career in it. He's always been pretty private and quiet, and actually started growing annoyed by the attention he received being the front man of a band when he was a teenager. After he got older, he became interested in engineering. Right now, he isn't taking any missions and sticking to office work, but, he still plays music in his spare time. He usually plays when something is bothering him. Right now, quite a few things are bothering him, but I only know of one of those things. I'm puzzled on the other. He seems to wonder if he's a decent father, and constantly compares himself to Taichi. Even after all these years, despite being friends, he still seems to see Taichi as a bit of a rival. Hm, also, as Agumon mentioned, Yamato is good friends with Suzuko.
Piyomon: Sora became a designer of traditional Japanese-style clothing. She was greatly inspired by her mother's ways, more than Sora will probably admit to. When she first went into junior high school, Sora started playing tennis and stopped playing soccer. *Her mother gave her tips and even helped her practice her tennis! Sora even grew interested in ikebana, which is the Japanese art of flower arranging because of her mother. Even though she is married to Yamato, she uses Takenouchi on all of her products. Right now, Sora seems to be worried over her relationship with Yamato, even though I feel that it's not as bad as she's making it. All they need to do is talk.
Gabumon: I agree. I'm sure that if they talk, the fear that Sora has will go away almost instantly.
Piyomon: Let's see, what else can I say...oh yeah, their children are named Ishida Kiyoko and Takenouchi Shoyo. Sora seems to baby Shoyo a lot, though, and she seems to clash with Kiyoko.
Gabumon: It seems that both Yamato and Sora do. I suppose that Kiyoko can be a handful at times, given her tomboyish ways, but generally she is friendly. She's also short-patient and a bit confrontational, but only if you do something to annoy or bother her. Most times, it's because of her defending friends or family. Kiyoko is an emotional type and is very open when it comes to going on about what she likes or dislikes, like the fact that she can't go to the Digital World now for some unusual reason, as the gates are locked. She's also vocal over how she dislikes snobbish people and those who kiss up to others. Also, even though she's never come right out and said it, she seems to actually be jealous of her younger brother, especially since he has the Takenouchi name. Despite all of this, she's usually friendly, and fiercely loyal. She seems to resemble Yamato a lot, and is an average third-year student at Odaiba Elementary School, and is also in the same class as Sugita. Both hang out together a lot, along with Ken and Miyako's son, Korin. Both Sugita and Kiyoko enjoy playing video games together, reading manga, and playing the Digimon Trading Card Game.
Piyomon: (Frowns) Even though you say all that about her, she seems to be changing. She seems to be more irritable than usual...I just can't explain it. Her Pyokomon (Yokomon) seems to prefer staying away from her lately I've noticed.
Gabumon: Well, that is true, and then there's that factor that she seems to have a chip on her shoulder and doesn't have much trust for anyone until after she gets to know you.
Piyomon: Well, at least Shoyo is a bit more optimistic. Shoyo is an adorable little boy and is partnered up with a Tsunomon. He looks a little like Sora. He's always called cute by strangers and random people and he has such a nice, bright smile! He is named Takenouchi Shoyo because Sora wanted to pass down the Takenouchi family name. She did this with Yamato's permission, and he was okay with it, and registered Shoyo's name as Takenouchi. I think Sora said something about the name being for her father.
Gabumon: That's what Yamato said. Still strange to me how Yamato didn't argue against it.
Piyomon: Shoyo is very smart for his age. He's a second-year student at Odaiba Elementary School.
Gabumon: Yamato insisted that he be put into year two as opposed to year one after a long, tiring process. Yamato's wishes were finally granted, and Shoyo was allowed to test into Odaiba Elementary School as a second-year student. He does all of his school work and rarely ever makes mistakes. As mentioned earlier, this may be the cause of why Kiyoko seems to have slight resentment towards her brother. He seems to always make nearly perfect scores on practically everything.
Piyomon: He doesn't hang around many other children, and usually wants to follow behind Kiyoko.
Gabumon: I think it's because he really has a difficult time relating to others outside of family. Until he got a "real friend", Tsunomon, he spent most of his time alone or with Sora.
Piyomon: But he really looks up to Kiyoko and respects her, so that's probably it too. He can be very naïve and a bit too trusting. He usually falls victim to his sister's tricks and stories, and always quick to believe them. He cries very easily and I think that bothers Kiyoko too. Other than that, he loves to read, but not into manga. He likes reading actual novels, and he also loves his mother's hugs and eating Sora's specially-made snacks.
Gabumon: Adding on, his only dislike, that I've noticed, as opposed to the many Kiyoko has, is when she's mean to him.
Piyomon: Well, I guess that's all we can say about our family.
Gabumon: Thanks for listening everyone.
Both bow while everyone else claps, minus a disgruntled Tentomon. V-mon then takes the stage and erases the board, writing up his partner's information.
Motomiya Family
Daisuke
Alicia
Okibi
V-mon: Hello everyone. I'm here to tell you about Daisuke! He's still the same old guy, friendly and fun to be around. He ended up living up to his dream to open up many Ramen Noodle Stands. He has a big chain here in Japan and in other countries too, like America! It's a very successful business. Let's see, um, Daisuke is 38 for this story, and the only problem he seems to be having is not being able to go to the Digital World when he wants to.
Alicia Santiago, who is the same age as Daisuke, is a very interesting lady, but she's known as Alicia Motomiya now. She was a student at Tohou University. She grew up in a military family, which is why she was in Japan. Her family was stationed in the country, so she grew up there. She works at the Fuji TV Station as a sound technician. Daisuke ended up meeting her through Takeru, who was friends with her.
They both have a son now named Okibi, and he has a Chibimon as a partner! I teach Chibimon many things. Okibi is 14 years old in his second year of junior high school. He's an average student, I guess, but I think I remember hearing Alicia complain one time about him being lazy. He's also in his school's basketball club and shares classes with Miyako and Ken's daughter, Milei. He's very energetic and friendly. I think he's popular in school too, but what drives some people crazy is his voice. He's really loud. Okibi seems to get along with almost everyone, and I don't think there's anyone he just can't be friends with. Hm, he likes to hoverboad, skateboard, and play video games. Out of the other kids of the Chosens, he seems to hang around with Tomoaki, Takeru's son. They both have similar interests. Even though one of Okibi's worst school subjects is English, I heard Daisuke say that he actually has a good grasping of the Spanish language because of his mother and her family. Too bad his school doesn't teach Spanish language.
V-mon stepped aside while everyone clapped. He then went to the board while waiting for Patamon.
Patamon: Okay, V-mon.
V-mon scribbled away as Patamon instructed him.
Takaishi Family
Takeru (38)
Hiroko (35)
Tomoaki (13)
Patamon: Thanks, V-mon. Okay, I'm here to talk about my Takeru! He became a writer, just like his mother who used to write news articles, but I think Takeru said that writing about facts all the time was boring, and wanted to write about something fun. *After his adventure against BelialVamdemon, his mother suggested that he write about it. Years later, he wrote a book series based on his Digital World adventures and they became best sellers! Right now, he's feeling bad because he's having one of those writer's block things, and has to come up with another book idea before his deadline. That publisher guy is giving him trouble, but if he hurts my Takeru, I'll…(notices the looks from everyone)…never mind.
Takeru ended up married to a nice lady named Hiroko. She works at the same publishing company that Daisuke's father works for. I think Takeru met her when he was there visiting with Daisuke years ago.
They have a 13-year-old son named Tomoaki and he's in his first year of junior high school! He has a Tokomon! Tokomon loves to play and he's very energetic. Tomoaki can be energetic too. He's in his school's boy's tennis club. He looks a lot like Takeru, now that I think about it. Tomoaki likes to skateboard, hoverboard, ride his bike, and play video games. He spends a lot of his time with Okibi since they have so much in common. Let's see, what else can I say about Tomoaki…oh I know! He's very laid back and friendly just like Takeru, but can be really serious sometimes, like Hiroko. Sometimes he visits his cousins, Kiyoko and Shoyo, and no matter what, he always seems to wear a warm smile.
Patamon flew away while everyone clapped for the heartfelt presentation. Wormmon and Hawkmon took his place. Hawkmon began writing in the proper information…
Ichijouji Family
Ken: Private Investigator/Detective, 38
Miyako: Housewife/part-time professor, 39
Milei: Student, 14
Korin: Student, 10
Osamu: Son, 2
Wormmon: Hi everyone. Hawkmon and I are here to tell you all about Miyako and my Ken-chan.
Hawkmon: Yes. As you all can see, Miyako-san ended up married to Ken-san. Miyako-san, for many years was a housewife, but prior to marrying, she worked as a part-time instructor at Odaiba University. I can't recall, but she teaches about computers, which is something I still do not fully understand. When she was younger, before she married, she was considering getting into the researching business along with Koushirou-san, but changed her mind.
Wormmon: My Ken-chan is now a Private Investigator, aka Detective, and I, as Stingmon, accompany him on his many cases when trying to catch the bad guys. We're the perfect team!
Hawkmon: Yes, you two do work well together, but unfortunately both Miyako-san and Ken-san are having terrible conflict with one of their oldest friends.
Wormmon: Iori. He's upset with Ken-chan! Iori doesn't even want me to talk with Armadimon!
Hawkmon: It is a terrible situation, and it's upsetting Miyako-san tremendously that the two are currently not getting along, as she's caught in the middle. Let's just hope that all can be forgiven. Ken-san also has slight conflict with Miyako-san.
Wormmon: Yes, he's becoming suspicious over her actions because she's helping out Taichi! Poor Ken-chan! He's worried!
Hawkmon: No need to worry, I'm sure all of these issues will be settled. We should continue introducing the rest of the family.
Wormmon Oh, yeah. Hehe.
Hawkmon: Miyako-san and Ken-san have three children now. Their oldest child is named Milei who is partnered up with a Poromon. She's 14 years old, and is a second-year student at Odaiba Junior High and also a part of her school's drama club. She's an average student, much to everyone's surprise, and she also doesn't seem to understand technological things, such as computers or other gadgets of that nature.
Wormmon: She also seems to love being the center of attention. Her personality is also a bit forceful, but she is very well-known in school and has many friends.
Hawkmon: Milei-san is a handful, and even goes as far as teasing her younger brother. To me she treats him as if he's inferior to her. If I could describe her in one word, it would definitely be "spoiled" or "selfish", but despite that, she is very responsible. She works part-time at the Odaiba Ai Mart, which is run by her grandparents. She likes to earn the extra money to do the one thing she loves more than anything…shopping.
Wormmon: Out of the other kids of our partners, does she spend time with any of them?
Hawkmon: I don't think she does, unless the son of Daisuke-san, Okibi-kun, counts. They are both in the same class.
Wormmon: Well, what about Poromon? How would you describe him?
Hawkmon: Hm, I'd describe Poromon as being very relaxed. He's not as playful as say the other Digimon babies of the household, and has a big appetite.
Wormmon: Yeah, that sounds about right! Now, let's see. Next would be Korin. He's ten years old and has Minomon as his partner. He's in his fourth year at Odaiba Elementary. Korin is really smart and always makes perfect scores in school! You know, I think he's actually bored with school work. He always finishes his homework so fast!
Hawkmon: Most definitely. You can see it. Even though Milei-san has no skill when it comes to computers, Korin-kun definitely does. He's well-known for his computer programming skills, even though it's rare that he shows it or even has to. He's a bit introverted and the complete polar opposite of his sister. Milei-san is bossy and talkative, while Korin-kun is courteous and quiet. I also feel that if he could do so, he'd avoid Milei-san as much as possible since she constantly teases him. Well, another good trait about Korin-kun is that he's an analytical thinker. Because of this, he's really into strategic games like chess, shougi, and go.
Wormmon: Don't forget that he likes reading, bike riding, and playing video games, but I forgot which types.
Hawkmon: I do know that his favorite types of video games are ones involving puzzles to solve and he also likes battlers. He is always ready for battling games! As for reading, I know he truly enjoys detective manga or mystery stories that require you to have to solve puzzles.
Wormmon: I'm pretty sure that Korin likes to spend time with the other kids.
Hawkmon: (Nods) Definitely. Out of the other Chosens' children, Korin-kun spends it with Taichi's son, Sugita-kun, Yamato and Sora's daughter, Kiyoko-san, and Koushirou's daughter, Misayoshi-san. Korin-kun also, like the others, is partnered up with a Digimon.
Wormmon: A Minomon! They get along, but I'm not completely sure.
Hawkmon: I've noticed. It seems that Korin may feel…not as close as he could be to Minomon. Who knows though, but at least the youngest of the three siblings have a good relationship with their partners.
Wormmon: Yes, the youngest of the three is two-year-old Ichijouji Osamu. He is your typical two-year-old, according to what Ken-chan says. He's friendly and playful and has a Leafmon as a partner, who is just as playful as he is. He's not in school yet. He'll start Kindergarten next spring.
Hawkmon: Based on my observation, it seems that in the eyes of Miyako-san, to Korin-kun, Osamu-kun can neither say nor do anything wrong. Osamu-kun can also be loud and likes to constantly come up with new games to play, much to the dismay of Korin-kun, as he seems to always fall victim and forced to play these games.
Wormmon: Osamu was named after the older brother of Ken-chan, because to him, he looked exactly like his brother.
Hawkmon: Is there anything else we can say about our family?
Wormmon: (Thinks for a moment) Would you say that Korin is happy? I sometimes wonder if he is.
Hawkmon: Well, it seems that even though their home is always full, Korin-kun always feels alone amongst his family and prefers being out with his friends. I think he feels like an outsider to his family. Miyako-san spends a lot of time with Milei-san, and Ken-san, unknowingly, spends a lot of time praising Osamu-kun and constantly talks about how much he reminds him of his older brother.
Wormmon: That's sad, but I hope that they can someday all be close.
Hawkmon: So do I.
Wormmon: Well, that's all for our family. I hope you liked it.
Tentomon: (Mutters) There were more questions than answers…
Hawkmon and Wormmon bowed, while the others clapped, and stepped aside. Tailmon stepped up. Hawkmon handed her the marker.
Tailmon: Thanks, Hawkmon.
Hoshino Family
Hoshino (星野) Hikari (ヒカリ) – Elementary School Teacher and part-time freelance photographer for the Odaiba Prophet
Hoshino (星野) Haruto (遥斗) – Journalist for the Odaiba Prophet
Hoshino (星野) Kouki (光輝) – A first-year student at Odaiba Junior High School
Tailmon: Hikari, who is 38 for this fic, became a kindergarten teacher, but she recently started teaching at Odaiba Elementary School as a year-two teacher. In her spare time, she works as a part-time freelance photographer for the latest publication, the Odaiba Prophet. Photography is pretty much a hobby for her and is still something she enjoys. Unfortunately, though, she becomes worried about her brother's suspicious actions.
She is now married to a man by the name of Haruto, who is 42. He works for the Odaiba Prophet as a journalist and writes many articles for the magazine, which is really successful! Because of his working there, he suggested to the publisher that Hikari work for them and the rest was history. She really loved the fact that she was able to go back to her photograph hobby since she's an excellent one!
The two have a smart 13-year-old son together. His name is Kouki. He is in his first year of junior high school and is in the art club. He enjoys drawing and painting a lot. The boy is very timid and shy, and is very quiet and only usually speaks if someone makes an effort to speak to him. Out of the group, he hangs with Iori's daughter, Emiko, a lot, and usually grows shyer than usual whenever around her. Maybe one day he may grow more confident. He's not very good at sports or most physical activities. Usually when involved with in a sports activity, in school, he shyly stays back and watches everyone else, unless it's absolutely necessary for him to. I have no idea why Kouki is this way or why he's so shy to the point of not even being noticed.
Kouki is partnered up with a Plotmon, and despite Plotmon being puppy-like, he sleeps a lot, like a cat. He seems to have very low energy, just like Kouki.
When finished, everyone clapped and Gomamon trotted up, asking Tailmon to write for him.
Kido Family
Kido Jou
Kido Malissa
Kido Toin
Kido Umi
Gomamon: Hey everyone! I'm here to talk to you about what Jou's been up to. For one thing, he's 42 for this fic and he worked really hard over the years to become a doctor, especially when he was in medical school. He studied nonstop and because of this, no one rarely saw him, but there was one person who stuck by him a lot, other than me, and that person was his American friend, Malissa Smith! They had been friends since high school. She's now his wife and they have two children together.
Malissa is 41 for this story and in her spare time, she works as a fiction writer for the Odaiba Prophet. A chapter of her short children's stories get published every week. She also still enjoys stuff related to the sea and water, and really wanted to live by the sea, which she and Jou does. Every once in a while, she may help out in Mrs. Takenouchi's flower shop.
Their oldest child is Toin. He's 12 years old and in his last year at Odaiba Elementary School, year 6. He looks a lot like Jou and he takes responsibility very seriously, just like Jou as a kid, but unlike Jou at one point, Toin knows how to lighten up when the time calls for it. He doesn't study very much like Jou did and is an average student. He'll start junior high school in the spring, but is planning on sticking to a public junior high school, not a private one like Jou went to, which means no juku (cram school) or prep schools to go to, for entrance exam practice. Toin also likes water sports, like his mother. He's a natural when it comes to swimming. It's almost as if he was born in the sea. He also really enjoys some of his mother's American cuisine, like peanut-butter chocolate-chip pancakes, sweets in general, and bike riding. He hates studying, not being taken seriously, coconut, salty foods, and most types of fish, but likes shellfish.
Oh yeah, even though his mother is American and she does use English around him at times, Toin is actually quite bad at it and when it comes to the kids of Jou's friends, he hangs around with Iori's daughter, Emiko, the most.
His partner is Pukamon, who can be a bit mischievous at times. (Laughs) I was never like that. Either way, both get along very well!
Recently, there has been a new addition to the Kido family household, and that addition is Toin's two-month-old sister Umi. He tries his best to be a good big brother to her. She doesn't have a partner, but who knows….maybe she'll end up with one someday, just like Osamu. He received his partner in a strange way.
Well, that's all I can say for Jou's family. Next up is Armadimon!
Everyone cheered as Armadimon made his way to the stage. He stood on a stepstool and started to write out Iori's family information.
Hida Family
Iori
Eiji
Emiko
Armadimon: Hello! I'm here to tell you about my Iori, d'gya. He's 36 for this story. He studied very hard and became a successful defense attorney who has won most of the cases he's taken on. He usually tries to stick to cases where he genuinely feels that the person being accused of the wrongdoing is actually innocent, especially the cases where there is cause for reasonable doubt. His family consists of three, him, his wife, Eiji, and their 12-year-old daughter, Emiko, who has an Upamon as her partner, d'gya. Upamon is always ready to play.
Eiji is Iori's childhood friend from elementary school, who was known for being a tomboy as a kid, d'gya. She works as a gym teacher now at a private all-girl's school. She's still a fun-loving person and is very outgoing, which balances out with Iori's serious nature, d'gya.
Emiko is in her last year at Odaiba Elementary School. She's smart, polite, and well-mannered, people always say. She's also very talented when it comes to music, 'd'gya! She's a proficient player of both the violin and the piano! She can also write and compose music, but is far from perfect, she feels. Right now, she's trying to come up with a piano composition for an upcoming contest. Emiko is a very hard worker, just like Iori and seems to be generally happy, but tends to rarely have any free time due to all of her extra-curricular activities, at her insistence. She has piano, violin, and *kyuudou! I have no idea how she does it, d'gya! I feel that her main flaw is that she's an extreme perfectionist and anything under 100% is unacceptable for her and because she's so busy, she can't play with Upamon very much. When it comes to the kid of the others, she hangs with Jou's son, Toin, and Hikari's son, Kouki, the most.
Right now, it's very sad in the Hida home, d'gya. Iori is involved with a case where he truly feels that his client is 100% guilty and it's causing him a lot of stress and because of that stress, he's being very unlike himself to his family. He's also been very short-patient, lately d'gya. Something else adding to his bad feelings, is the death of his mother earlier this year. (Frowns) She was horrendously murdered and he's blaming "Ichijouji" for it. Since he doesn't like him right now, he doesn't even want me to associate with Wormmon and he now has a strained relationship with Miyako, d'gya. Just like Wormmon, I want everyone to be friends again.
Armadimon bowed, and let Betamon hop in his place. Since Michael didn't have any family information, he decided not to write anything.
Betamon: Hi everyone! I guess I should tell you about Michael, even though there isn't really much to tell. Unlike his father, Michael never became interested in acting or pursuing a career in it. He was never good at it. Even though Michael didn't have a knack for being in front of the camera, he was always fascinated with directing and working behind them. He is now the director and producer of Mimi's show and still lives life as a bachelor. He has no children (mutters quickly) that he knows of (normal tone) or a wife since he is kind of devoted to his work and does a lot of traveling for the sake of his movies and shows, but since he's devoted to just one project now (Mimi's show), he's calming down a bit. Okay, now here's Palmon!
Palmon: Thanks, Betamon! (She grabs the marker and writes up Mimi's information)
Tachikawa-Johnson Family
Mimi Tachikawa-Johnson (40)
Christopher Alexander Johnson Sr. (44)
Christopher Keisuke Johnson Jr. (10)
Palmon: (Blows a kiss to the audience) Hi everyone! I'm here to tell you about my Mimi-chan! Some of you might not know this about her, but Mimi-chan loves food and combining different food combinations. *It's something she learned from her mother. Because of this, she became a food analyst and researcher who has her own American cooking show. I help her out on her cooking show too, which is produced and directed by Michael! She still lives in New York with her husband and son, who she's having a little bit of trouble with since she wants to move back to Japan for one year, and wants to take him with her.
Mimi is married to a very nice man named Christopher Johnson. He's an ER doctor who's usually pretty busy, but despite that, he's very close to Mimi and their son. He enjoys old-school professional wrestling, American football, baseball, and basketball.
Let's see, as for their son, his whole name is Christopher Keisuke Johnson Jr., but he usually only goes by the name Chris. He hates being called Christopher. I think he said that when people call him "Christopher", he associates it with his being in trouble or with school. His middle name, which is common in America, is homage to Mimi's father; his name is Keisuke. Meh…Chris doesn't like to study much and loves being outdoors. He loves camping, along with baseball, kickball, biking, and rollerblading. He doesn't care for reading, aside from comic books and the Digimon Adventure book series by Takeru. He's a huge fan of it!
Chris has a Tanemon for his partner, who seems to grow discouraged very easily, but still loves the fast-paced lifestyle that Chris leads. Even though Chris is fluent in Japanese, because of Mimi's insisting on teaching it at a young age, and English because of his father and having grown up in America, his partner only understands and speaks English, and still has a little bit of difficulty understanding Japanese whenever Chris or Mimi speaks it. Chris usually ends up translating for him.
Chris is very friendly and he usually gets along with everyone and even has what Chris Sr. called street smarts. I think that means he knows when to pick his battles and when to back off from them. He hates confrontation, but sometimes, he's too blunt according to Chris Sr. I guess that's a bad thing. I'm not sure. When he gets upset, he becomes sarcastic and becomes a bit of a smart aleck, which gets him in trouble sometimes. He also can sometimes become bored pretty easily and becomes disruptive in class.
Since he will be moving to Odaiba with Mimi, he'll be in year 4 at Odaiaba Elementary School and will mostly be around Ken and Miyako's son, Korin, and Koushirou's daughter, Misayoshi, who he'll be meeting first out of all of the Chosen children's children!
Palmon erased the board so that Tentomon could use it.
Tentomon: It's about time you all finished so I can talk about my Koushirou-han!
Everyone gives Tentomon a dirty look, who sweatdropped nervously and began scribbling as best as he could on the board.
Izumi Family
Izumi Koushirou: Digital World Researcher
Mu Rong (慕容) Lihua (麗華): Translator
Izumi Misayoshi: Student at Odaiba Elementary school.
Tentomon: S-so, I am here to tell you about Koushirou-han and his family. He is 40 for this story, and became a researcher in Digital World affairs. He has other types of research projects, but most of his interest is in Digital World affairs. All of his work is submitted to the Metropolitan Center in Shinjuku, but luckily he doesn't have to make the commute to Shinjuku everyday and works in the branch right in Odaiba. Koushirou-han is a big workaholic, and, unfortunately, lost his wife because of it. He's been feeling very down due to the split of his family and the loss of his father. Given his openly down mood, noticed by his friends (Taichi-han and Miyako-han especially), Taichi-han is hesitant to ask him for help with his current issue. Instead, Taichi-han has enlisted the help of Miyako-han. Even though Koushirou-han agreed to the divorce, I have a feeling that he wasn't for it at all.
Lihua-han is the recent, 39-year-old ex-wife of Koushirou-han, who was known for her charm, intelligence, and bubbly personality. She's a translator and is fluent in Chinese (both Cantonese and Mandarin dialects), Japanese, and English. She met Koushirou-han when both were attending university together and fell in love almost instantly…but…since Koushirou-han chose work over family, she became "fed up" and asked for a divorce, since things didn't really change. They're still on somewhat friendly terms with one another, though. Right now, she is back in Hong Kong, even though her family is from Xian in Shaanxi.
The two had a lovely daughter, and her name is Misayoshi, but most people call her "Misa" since her name is so unusual. If I remember right, Koushirou-han mentioned it was difficult to even get her named registered. Anyway, she resembles Koushirou-han a lot, but…I think she has the charm and personality of Lihua-han. People think of her as "adorable", just like Shoyo-han. She is well-mannered, polite, and usually very cheerful, but her mood's changed a lot lately because of the divorce, her mother moving back to her home-country, and Mr. Izumi's death.
Misayoshi-han isn't very interested in computers and doesn't know a thing about them. When it comes to school, she gets along with pretty much everyone, but she does have herself a couple of bullies who constantly tease her about her looks, her status, and sometimes her unique name.
The girl does like to study, though, but it's because of her mother's influence. Since her mother is fluent in many languages, she wants to be as well.
One thing she hates is having unwanted attention on herself, and tries her best to keep it that way. Unlike the others, she goes out of her way to keep Motimon secret. Out of the other children, she hangs around with Korin-han most.
Oh, and as for Motimon, he's very impulsive and is always quick to defend Misayoshi-han if the situation calls for it, and he doesn't care who's around whenever he does. Motimon also doesn't speak in a different dialect, like I do. It's plain, just like the others.

Tailmon: There, we're all done! Everyone has given a brief synopsis on their human partners' lives and what they are up to.
Tentomon: (Muttering) Yeah, I guess, but I wanted to go first...
Tailmon: Don't you start again, Tentomon!
Tentomon: (Crossing his arms stubbornly) I can start whatever I want to start!
Tailmon: I'm not in the mood for this...
Tentomon: Who cares!
Hawkmon: Fellow Digimon...
Gabumon: ...back away...
V-mon: ...and take cover!
All of the Digimon back away as they notice *Tailmon is ready to explode…which is what happened.
Gomamon: I guess someone should go help Tentomon. He's probably unconscious right now from the explosion.
Piyomon: That can't be too healthy, exploding when you get overly angered or annoyed.
Tailmon: On the contrary, it makes me feel very good. It's better to relieve your stress than to keep it all in.
Agumon: (Poking Tentomon with a stick) Tentomon?
Armadimon: Is he alive, d'gya?
Hawkmon: Of course he's alive, he's just not moving right now.
V-mon: We should help Tentomon later, but we have to hurry up now.
Agumon: Yeah, let's let the readers continue on with the story.
Piyomon: They're probably curious as to what's going to happen next and where this story is headed.
Wormmon: I want my Ken-chan!
All minus Tentomon: We know, Wormmon, we know!
Wormmon: (Smiles)
Author's Notes
Note 1: Yes, a Pokemon reference...something else I don't have the rights to. Anyway, the Pokemon Tentomon used was Scyther.
x x x
Note 2: This is true. Sora's mother was the one to help her with tennis. It was mentioned in one of the Original Story dramas, if I recall correctly.
x x x
Note 3: Another fact based on the drama. His mother was the one to inspire Takeru to write about his adventures after the BelialVamedmon events, which got him into fully writing in general.
x x x
Note 4: Kyuudou is Japanese archery.
x x x
Note 5: Something else that's pretty much true. Mimi does have strange tastes in foods, like her love of eggs with sugar and natto. Her mother used to prepare strange and unusual foods, which explains why Mimi possibly got into a profession involving them. This was mentioned in the novel, her odd food tastes as and her mother's odd way of cooking.
x x x x
Note 6: That's a Kyatto Ninden Teyandee (aka, Samurai Pizza Cats) reference. The character of Omitsu (Lucille) would usually launch missiles and such whenever she becomes overly emotional, whether it be anger, happiness, excitement, or extreme sadness.
