Profile

Craftmon loves his Buddy, Kagefumi, and is obsessive about protecting him from any harm and want to help him however he can. However, the bullying Kagefumi received made Craftmon extremely paranoid, and he believes everyone in the outside world to be an enemy that wants to hurt Kagefumi. He also feels responsible for Kagefumi's pain, thinking it was his weakness that caused him to be defeated in battle.

Much as he shares Kagefumi's sadness, though, he also shares his happiness, getting to the point of crying at seeing Kagefumi finally smiling and fully backing him up on battling once again. He's also happy when he's able to help others.

At some point in the past, Kagefumi had Kayo's Buddy Appmon, Copipemon, create two copies of Craftmon to help him remodel his house. All copies share the same personality as the original Craftmon.

After receiving relentless bullying, Kagefumi became a recluse and blocked all ways to get into his house. This included having his Buddy Appmon, Craftmon, barricate the entrance from the inside. As such, to get Kagefumi to leave his house, Kayo and Copipemon created a series of AR Dungeons in Kagefumi's house's appliances that connected to the house's main system where Craftmon was, and Kayo sent Kazuki/Itsuki through them to stop Craftmon.

At the deepest part of the AR Dungeons, Kazuki/Itsuki found Craftmon, who refused to let them pass into the "castle" he built for Kagefumi. Logimon introduced him as the design app's Appmon, who could create any object like a 3D printer. Kazuki/Itsuki explained they just wanted to talk to Kagefumi and asked Craftmon to remove the barricade but Craftmon refused, threatening anyone who'd hurt Kagefumi, which in his eyes meant everyone in the outside world, including Kazuki/Itsuki who he then attacked. After being defeated, despite being so wounded he couldn't even speak properly, Craftmon still was resolute about protecting Kagefumi, but Logimon told him Kazuki/Itsuki would never hurt him. Kazuki/Itsuki themselves apologised as they didn't want to forcefully drag Kagefumi out but couldn't back down either so they would meet with Kagefumi.

After Kazuki/Itsuki and Kagefumi had a talk, Kagefumi called three Craftmon to drive Kazuki/Itsuki and Logimon off, all with the same belief that everyone in the outside world was Kagefumi's enemy. However, Kazuki/Itsuki screamed that they would never laugh at someone giving it their all as they also gave their all and loved Appmon and battling, and knew Kagefumi felt the same. They then insulted those that laughed at the ones who put in effort as being incapable of doing it themselves and questioned Kagefumi for quitting Appmon battles for being laughed at. Kagefumi pointed out he was in his situation because he lost an Appmon battle and rejected Kazuki/Itsuki understanding him as they had just met. However, before he could explain what Appmon meant for him, Kazuki/Itsuki answered for them: they loved Appmon, and it was obvious just looking at the Craftmon who desperately tried to protect him, proof of how strong their bond was. Kagefumi's pain turned the Craftmon more aggressive, telling Kazuki/Itsuki not to bully Kagefumi and blaming themselves for Kagefumi crying after they lost, promising never to do so again. However, Kagefumi stopped them there, taking full responsibility for their defeat, as well as accepting he had also lost to Kazuki/Itsuki. He then stated he wanted to try again with Craftmon (of which two left), even if it was hard, and asked Kazuki/Itsuki to be their opponent in their comeback match.

When they called MCmon, however, his signal was more scrambled than ever and impossible to boost but Logimon refused to give up and attempted to connect them, which seemingly fixed the issue but only for a moment. The second Craftmon then rejoined them and offered to help Logimon. Kazuki/Itsuki then asked why there were so many Craftmon around and Kagefumi explained he had Kayo's Copipemon make copies of Craftmon a while ago to remodel his house. Logimon then asked Kazuki/Itsuki to use their Appli Drive to Applink Logimon with the copy Craftmon. The Applink ended up forming an AppGattai instead, however, turning them into Bootmon. Kazuki/Itsuki apologised for doing that to Kagefumi's Buddy Appmon, but Kagefumi was fine with it since that was just a copy and Craftmon was glad one of them could help. Now together, Bootmon boosted Craftmon's ability to connect with a full-power boot, which fully fixed the Remote Cyber Arena. Kagefumi was ready to fight even if it meant being laughed at so long as he had Craftmon with him, a sentiment Craftmon shared and MCmon also agreed with, giving his full acknowledgement to Kagefumi as the B-Rank Master.

At the start of the battle, Kagefumi tells Kazuki/Itsuki they may regret wanting to see him at full power. He proudly stated he was the Buddy of the design app's Craftmon and the B-Rank Master, and that he'd craft his win. Kagefumi opens the battle with Craftmon + Craftmon. He follows that with Damedamon + Craftmon.

Craftmon thought he had made Kagefumi sad again by being defeated but Kagefumi realized he truly loved Appmon battles and wanted to keep going alongside Craftmon. Craftmon broke down in tears at seeing Kagefumi so happy. Kazuki/Itsuki and Bootmon believed both of them were strong, which made Craftmon even happier. Kagefumi promised he'd try going outside, even if it took more time, because he wanted to try even harder, together with Craftmon.

During the second Chaos AR-Field incident, the Craftmon patrol reported to Kagefumi that parts of the Yongendori AR-Field had changed and rampaging Appmon appeared. Later on, Craftmon reverse-engineered the programmatic block on the Yongendori Chaos Gate, allowing Kazuki/Itsuki to go into its AR Dungeon. Craftmon saw that as nowhere near enough to repay Kazuki/Itsuki for saving Kagefumi.
