Agent Alpha
Agent Alpha (エージェントアルファ, Ējento Arufa) is a fictional anime series that Dan/Kanan's appearance is based on, and it serves as a source of inspiration and a plot device within the story. The protagonists, members of the organization Adamas, are beings designed to look like the characters from the popular anime. Both Misono Yuta and Monica Simmons are huge fans of the series.
Profile[edit]
It was a popular anime in the Time Stranger universe that most people had heard of. The story was about a duo of agents investigating anomalies for a secret organization (implied to be Adamas). Their father, Dr. Yuki, went missing in an experiment, where he vanished into a space-time rift. The second season had heavy emphasis on time travel.
A live-action adaptation was created somewhere between the 8-year timeskip. Despite it was widely disliked, Monica Simmons liked it and made an outfit for Shiroki Asuna based on one of the characters after both of them defected from Public Security because of their insane, genocidal hatred against Digimon.

Anime[edit]
Digimon Story: Time Stranger Prelude[edit]
Three years prior to the events of the game, Misono Inori brought two Agent Alpha movie tickets for her younger brother Misono Yuta and her mother to watch. However, as they are walking out of the theater, Aegiomon's Digitama appeared in the real world, and numerous Digimon heavily implied to be caught in Junomon's rage followed suit and fought each other, ignoring the destruction it would cause in the human world. When Yuta was attacked by a Kuwagamon, a friendly Revolmon jumped up and defeated it, its heroic actions reminiscent of the Agent in the movie.
Alongside Yuta and the Misono family matriarch, it was at least confirmed by an NPC during the game proper that the director of the original Agent Alpha died during the attack, where he was attending an interview in the same theater Yuta and his mother visited. The theater is now destroyed and cannot be found in the game.

Video Games[edit]
Digimon Story: Time Stranger[edit]
When Aegiomon's time-traveling attempts to rescue Misono Inori went out of control and disrupted the timeline, Homeostasis decided to take action. As the higher beings tend to avoid direct intervention, it instead created an agent from an Aegiomon shadow he left behind in a certain timeline, who resembled a character from Agent Alpha because of Yuta's fondness with the movie and Aegiomon's desire to replace him (and by his own words, potentially undo his death if he could). The Agent was given fake memories of them being a member of Adamas and their adoptive father being the character Dr. Yuki to keep them on their mission.
Some time after Inori vanished into the Digital World, her childhood friend Sagisaka Hiroko created a reboot version of the anime that doubles as a missing person notice for her. Unlike the original one, this one contained Digimon and had Aegiomon appearing as well. This version of Agent Alpha also plays in Shinjuku Vision Square at the start and the end of the game, when the agent appeared in the real world.
