Year Active 2000 Digimon Reference Book Entry Date December 19, 2008 Anime Digimon Frontier: "Tomoki's Lonely Battle, Asuramon's Trap" Video Game Digimon Story: Sunburst & Moonlight V-Pet D-Ark Version 2.0 Card Bo-527 Karatenmon originated as a winning entry (pictured top-right) in the "Digivice" sprite category of the 2nd Original Digimon Contest in 2000. It was submitted by Shima Masaki (嶋真樹) of Saitama Prefecture, and won the "Volcano Ota Award." Karatenmon's standard design, as established in its Bandai stock art (pictured in infobox on far right), differs drastically from Shima's original contest submission. Whereas Shima's sprite depicts a diminutive, egg-shaped avian creature, Bandai redesigned Karatenmon into a tall humanoid. However, Karatenmon's sprites in the D-Ark LCD device (pictured bottom-right) still depict it as something closer to Shima's original design, albeit with creative liberties. Shima's original entry also ascribes to Karatenmon an attack technique called 9-Feather Sonic (９フェザーソニック) which, unlike the techniques given by some winning contest submissions, has never appeared in any Digimon material. Karatenmon is based on, and named after, the karasu-tengu of Shinto mythology. Its standard Bandai design follows suit with traditional karasu-tengu descriptions and depictions, including the physique of an anthropomorphized crow, the usage of swords, and garb and armor resembling that of a yamabushi hermit.

Appearances

Anime

Digimon Frontier

Voice Actor: Takahashi Hiroshi | Kirk Thornton

Karatenmon was the guardian of the Wind Area inside Sephirothmon who battled against Kouji. He was able to use his abilities to look into Kouji's heart to see his weakness, that Kouji lived in isolation and kept distance from his friends and family. Karatenmon's mind reading powers allowed him to easily defeat Wolfmon by predicting his attacks, but when Kouji evolved to Garummon, Karatenmon simply wasn't fast enough to keep up and was beaten and scanned.

Karatenmon in Digimon Frontier.

Digimon Xros Wars

Voice Actor: Yanami Jouji | Travis Willingham

Several Karatenmon were members of The Goddess' Warriors, a Digimon order that lived in Sand Zone. A different Karatenmon was also guarding Shinobi Zone's Code Crown. In order to acquire the Code Crown, Amano Nene makes him laugh with several bad puns.

Karatenmon is also an obtainable Digimon. It can be scanned in Chaos Brain. It evolves from Saberdramon, or Jogress evolves from any two of Firamon, Garurumon, or Kougamon.

It can Jogress evolve with Yatagaramon (2006 Anime Version) into Anubimon, with Taomon into Kuzuhamon, or with Shurimon into Ravmon.
