Story[edit]
There are other worlds out there. Digital, Organic, worlds where our dreams come true... Digimon Tamers takes place on an Earth where Digimon is a media icon. Card games and TV shows ARE Digimon. At least, that's what people think. A secret government organization has found another world, and its digital inhabitants are crossing over. Digimon run amok throughout Japan and three children with Digimon partners are out to stop them, learning important lessons along the way.
Overview[edit]
According to Chiaki J. Konaka, the story-line of early episodes of Digimon Tamers was based on "Konaka Gamera", one of the original scripts for Gamera: Guardian of the Universe in 1996, by Chiaki and Kazuya Konaka before the final script by Kazunori Itō. Konaka brothers' draft was later adopted for Digimon Tamers and Gamera the Brave in 2006, and Ultraman Tiga in 1996.[1][2][3]

Tamaki Yukiko (津村 まこと) | Guardromon | |
Brad MacDonald | ||
Hirokazu is one of Matsuda Takato's best friends, who eventually becomes one of the ten Digimon Tamers. Hirokazu is brash, arrogant and cheeky, though he is a brave and loyal friend. He loves the Digimon card game, and constantly beats Takato and Kenta at it. He is nowhere near the level of Makino Ruki and Akiyama Ryo, however, and is a bit of a fan of the two. | ||

Rebecca Olkowski, Wendee Lee | ||
Ai and Makoto are both the partners of Impmon. For some reason, they didn't receive a D-Ark at first. Due to their young age, they did not understand the implications of having a Digimon partner, and treated Impmon like a toy to be played with, arguing over him and pulling him around like a ragdoll. Impmon was finally fed up with their immature behavior and left. His experiences with Ai and Makoto shaped his opinions on humans and Digimon who have Tamers. | ||
