Hida Iori is one of the protagonists of Digimon Adventure 02.

Profile[edit]

Though he is the youngest of the Japanese Chosen Children, he is the most serious, and appears very mature and wise for his young age. He is quiet, philosophical, and polite, but does not hesitate to speak out and state his opinion. Above all, he values honesty and justice, and will stubbornly stand up for his ideals and opinions. His worldview is very black-and-white, as befitting a child, but over time he learns to reconcile his views with more complex morality. He cares deeply about others, and is very curious about people and what makes them act the way they do.

Iori lives with his mother, Fumiko, and his grandfather, Chikara, who is a Kendo master working as an instructor at Odaiba's local police precinct. Iori's late father, Hiroki, was a police officer.

Anime[edit]

Digimon Adventure[edit]

In the summer of 1999, Iori's father took a bullet for an important political figure in London, losing his life. This had a great effect on the young boy, who was only a kindergartener at the time. The Hida family flew to London to bring Hiroki's remains back to Japan. On August 3rd, Iori and his family were passengers on a plane from London that was attempting to land in Tokyo, shortly after the Digital World appeared in the sky. The plane's systems stopped working, and its wing froze due to contact with the digitalized sky, but it was saved from crashing by Kabuterimon and Garudamon.

Between Digimon Adventure and Digimon Adventure 02[edit]

Around 2001, the Hida family moved to a new building in Odaiba, where Iori met and befriended Inoue Miyako, a spunky girl three years his senior.

Digimon Adventure 02[edit]

In 2002, on the first day of school, Iori and Miyako met Takaishi Takeru, their new neighbor. On the same day, they received D-3s, along with a boy named Motomiya Daisuke, and found out that they were Chosen Children, much like Takeru and his old friend Yagami Hikari. On the next day, Iori traveled with the others to the Digital World, where he received his partner, Armadimon, as well as the Digimental of Knowledge. With his fellow Chosen Children, he started fighting to free the Digital World from the clutches of the Digimon Kaiser.

On one occasion, when the team followed a signal indicated a nearby Digimental, Iori ran ahead of everyone as he assumed it was his, for Daisuke and Miyako already had their second Digimentals. They became trapped in an offshore oil platform by an Evil Ringed Mega Seadramon without much oxygen left, and Iori blamed himself. The other children sent him off in a one-man escape pod to call Jou for help. Jou was taking an exam at cram school, so Iori had to lie about the health of Jou's father to get him out. When they got to the oil platform, they found out that the Digimental of Sincerity was there, but Iori refused to take it because he lied, and was thus insincere. He insisted that he was also untrustworthy because he put his friends in danger. However, Jou convinced him that he was worthy of receiving the Digimental of Sincerity for going through all that to save his friends, and Iori thus managed to activate the Digimental and evolve Armadimon to Submarimon, to help defeat Mega Seadramon.

After the Digimon Kaiser was defeated and became Ken again, Iori still couldn't forgive him for what he had done and had a hard time accepting him into the team. At one point, Ken came to the conclusion that he would never be welcome in the team because Iori wouldn't accept him and tried to leave, which caused trouble when Black War Greymon appeared. After this event, Iori's attitude towards Ken softened, as Ken integrated into the team and proved his change of heart was genuine.

After Paildramon and Silphymon debuted, Iori realized that Takeru would be his Jogress partner eventually. Iori then noticed that Takeru had been acting oddly violent and angry when Black War Greymon was involved, and realized that he had acted the same way about Chimeramon, as well as the Digimon Kaiser when he had extracted Devimon's data to create the synthetic beast. Iori believed that he needed to understand Takeru's attitude changes when evil was involved if they were to Jogress properly. He eventually turned to Takeru's older brother, Yamato, who told him about the battle between Angemon and Devimon and about Angemon's subsequent death, which had affected Takeru more than anyone had realized. This was all Iori needed to understand Takeru better, and for Ankylomon and Angemon to Jogress into Shakkoumon.

In December, Iori accepted an invitation to Ken's Christmas party, fully accepting him as a comrade and friend. He and the younger Chosen and their Digimon arrived at Ken's party, but it ended abruptly as they had to send rampaging Digimon back to the Digital World and destroy a Dark Tower. On Christmas Day, the Chosen Children found out that Digital Gates were open in the entire world, and Iori went to Australia with Jou and their Digimon to help the Chosen Children of the Pacific to round up the wild Digimon that had come through the gates.

The next day, back in Japan, the children had to fend off the Demon Corps, a group of evil Digimon led by Demon, as well as Archnemon, Mummymon and their boss, the human Oikawa Yukio. As Marine Devimon of the Demon Corps was about to destroy a hospital where Iori and Takeru were trying to help a wheelchair-bound girl get to safety, Shakkoumon's only option was to destroy Marine Devimon, shocking and upsetting Iori, though he had to accept that it had to be done. Afterwards, he and the other children helped Ken open a gate to the World of Darkness and banished Demon through the gate.

Several days later, Iori's grandfather, Chikara, had finally noticed the presence of Armadimon in the house. Iori was shocked to learn that his father had known of the Digital World and contacted it when he was just a little boy. That afternoon, he came face to face with Oikawa, who acted oddly and retreated when he found out Iori's family name was Hida. The next day, in a confrontation with Oikawa, Chikara revealed that Oikawa was Hida Hiroki's best friend for many years.

On December 31st, 2002, as the Chosen Children followed Oikawa to the world of dreams, it was revealed that Oikawa Yukio was possessed by the spirit of Belial Vamdemon, who absorbed the power of the Dark Seeds he sowed in the necks of twenty children to gain a corporeal form. He killed Archnemon and Mummymon, which shocked and frightened Iori and the others. When Daisuke and XV-mon started fighting back, Belial Vamdemon subjected the children to an illusion, showing their greatest desire. Iori's desire was to be with his father and show him the Digital World, but it was broken by Armadimon's explanation that it wasn't real, and Fladramon appeared to take him back to the other kids. When everyone's illusions were broken, Iori used the power of the dream dimension against Belial Vamdemon, with Ankylomon, Digmon, Submarimon and Shakkoumon appearing all at once to fight Belial Vamdemon. After Belial Vamdemon escaped to the Digital World, the light from his D-3 helped weaken Belial Vamdemon and power up Imperialdramon Fighter Mode's Giga Death cannon.

Immediately after Belial Vamdemon was destroyed, Iori went back to the dream dimension to help the fallen Oikawa, dragging him to the edge of the tear between the two worlds. However, Oikawa, close to death, used the other world to fulfill a dream of his own. With that, Oikawa's body was deleted and the digital particles transformed into a host of butterflies, which spread across the Digital World, restoring peace and beauty to it.

Digimon Hurricane Touchdown!! Supreme Evolution!! The Golden Digimentals[edit]

Diablomon Strikes Back[edit]

Iori was sent with Takeru to collect Kuramon that Diablomon sent to Earth. They parted when it was decided that Takeru will go into the Internet to help defeat Diablomon, and Iori made his way to the Rainbow Bridge to meet up with Miyako. There, he watched as all of the Kuramon fused into Armagemon, and the following battle. When Armagemon separated into hundreds of Kuramon again, it was Iori's idea for everyone to use their Digivices and cellphones to capture the Kuramon that saved the day.

25 Years Later[edit]

By 2028, Iori has become a high-class defense attorney. He is married and has a daughter, who is the partner of an Upamon.

Digimon Adventure tri.[edit]

Iori, along with Ken, Miyako, and Daisuke, was attacked and defeated by Alphamon in Reunion.

The four, along with the real Gennai, are found by Yagami Taichi and Nishijima Daigo in Our Future, while being kept in a comatose state inside capsules at the Mysterious Man's base located in the Digital World. According to Daigo, Daisuke's group was attacked after discovering Yggdrasill's plan, with Himekawa Maki ordering him to hide the events.

In his last sacrifice, Daigo sends Taichi and Daisuke's group back to the Real World before the base explodes. Once back in the Real World, the four are hospitalized and revitalized.

Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna[edit]

In 2010, Iori was 17 years old, a second year student in high school, and a member of the kendo team, as well as a cram school student. He was already confident in his career path as a lawyer, and already began studying to achieve this goal.

Iori was eating ramen in New York City with Daisuke and Ken when Yamato contacted them, asking them to go to Liberica University to look up information about one of its professors, Menoa Bellucci. The next day, the three of them were joined by Miyako and acted on Iori's suggestion to break into Menoa's office and hack into her computer, though they only found information bringing Imura Kyotaro's identity into question. Later, when Eosmon were released worldwide, Iori and the other three worked to defeat them and protect the populace. Later, he watched as the remaining Eosmon dissolved into thin air.

Digimon World: Digital Card Arena[edit]

Iori appears in Igloo City's Battle Café. Upon being asked by the player if he knows what's happening, he answers that all Battle Arenas are in jeopardy due to a Card Tamer named Digimon Kaiser. After beating the Battle Arena, Iori gives the player their second Partner Card, which can be either Patamon or Tailmon.

Iori can be fought in the post-game after defeating Inoue Miyako. He uses the Every Preparation deck, a Yellow/Rare speed-focused deck. Beating him for the first time will award the player a Yellow Pack, and subsequent defeats other than the sixth one may award it too. Beating him six times will award the player Digi-Part 085: Swap Specialty with Opponent's. Furthermore, during the third and sixth battles, Iori will give the player his Dig and Submari decks, so the player may register Digmon and Submarimon if he hasn't chosen Armadimon as a Partner Card. If he has, he won't offer the decks. Both decks use Blue/Water and Yellow/Rare cards.
