The opponent's two kote are among the targets that kendo practitioners aim to strike in order to score points in matches. Year Active 2002 Digimon Reference Book Entry Date February 20, 2009 Anime Digimon Frontier: Revival of the Ancient Digimon!! Manga Digimon Next: "Welcome to the Digimon Net Game!!" Video Game Digimon World 3 Card Bo-705 Kotemon is themed around the sword-centric Japanese martial art of kendo. Its design essentially consists of a standard set of kendo armor, or bōgu, being worn by a reptilian Child Digimon of similar anatomy to Agumon or V-mon, whose face is totally hidden by the grille of its men (helmet); it also wields the standard kendo weapon, a shinai. Although it is named after the kote, the gauntlets worn as part of bōgu, its long sleeves totally hide its hands so its own kote, if it is wearing any, are not visible. In kendo, there is a set of specific scorable targets which kendōka (practitioners of the martial art) are to strike in a match, and during such an attempt they are expected to shout the name of their chosen target (as a form of kiai): men (top or sides of their men), dō (either side of their torso armor, or dō), kote (padded area on either of their kote), or tsuki (throat, protected by flaps on the men) This is reflected in Kotemon's standard Digimon Reference Book attack techniques, which are described as elementally charged versions of the men and kote strikes.

Digimon Frontier: Revival of the Ancient Digimon!!

Kotemon is a member of the Human Digimon clan that inhabits the Wandering Island, and is the younger brother of the commander of their army, Dinohumon. He is friends with Bearmon of the Beast Digimon clan, which put the two at odds with their brothers.

Digimon Savers

Several Kotemon are residents of the Holy Capital. In Genius Showdown! Thoma VS Nanami , they gather with the other residents for Baromon and Daimon Masaru's announcement of Kurata Akihiro's coming attack on the Holy Capital.

Digimon Xros Wars & The Evil Death General and the Seven Kingdoms

Several Kotemon inhabit the Magma Zone. In "Volcano Digimon, Eruption!", many Kotemon are among the Digimon who have been forced into slave labor by Ancient Volcamon. Some more are part of the group of Digimon held in Ancient Volcamon's underground prison in "Fierce General Tactimon, Close In!", and they assist Xros Heart and the other prisoners in digging a tunnel to escape their cell. When the group are confronted by Death Meramon and his Meramon subordinates, Kotemon and the other inhabitants escape while Xros Heart holds them off.

In "Leftover Monitamons, Hang in There!", at least one Kotemon is a servant of Musyamon of the Bagra Army during the occupation of Shinobi Zone. During a patrol of the castle grounds at sundown, a Kotemon almost notices three Monitamons attempting to infiltrate the castle, but dismisses it as itself just "seeing things".

That evening, Tsurugi Zenjirou and Dorulumon observe a Kotemon standing guard over one of the castle gates while they are planning their own infiltration. Once they are inside the grounds, a Kotemon spots them and attacks. Tsurugi draws on his experience in kendo to defeat Kotemon in a single dō strike with the Rare Star Sword.

When Kudou Taiki forms Shoutmon X7: Superior Mode in "Glorious DigiXros, Seize It! Our Future!!", a Kotemon is among the thousands of Digimon who are called from the Digital World to contribute to the Final Xros.

Digimon Xros Wars: The Young Hunters Who Leapt Through Time

Kotemon is a kendo master who had ended up in DigiQuartz. He considers it his purpose in life to teach kendo to the pure-hearted. Unlike many Digimon, being in DigiQuartz has not driven him berserk.

In "The Digimon Kendo Match! Kotemon's Blade Draws Near!!", Kotemon becomes Kenzaki Musashi's kendo master when the latter is brought into DigiQuartz, but worries when Masashi becomes obsessed with power, takes to committing acts of tsujigiri against school tournament rivals, and manifests a dark aura while sparring with Akashi Tagiru. He then trains Tagiru as well, hoping that fighting an honest kendōka will change Musashi's ways.

When it is revealed that Tobari Ren is using Musashi's obsession to harvest dark power for Dracumon, and that he wants to hunt Kotemon, Kotemon assists Tagiru and Gumdramon in fighting Ren, and volunteers to join Tagiru's collection so that he can be DigiXrosssed with Gumdramon in order to defeat Dracumon's Super Evolved form, Yaksamon.

Afterwards, Kotemon (from inside Tagiru's Xros Loader) witnesses Tagiru and Musashi's match in the school tournament, which Musashi (back to normal) wins fairly. He praises Musashi's performance and says that he has nothing more to teach him.

After the defeat of Quartzmon in "Burn Up, Tagiru! The Glorious Digimon Hunt", Kotemon gathers with all of the others who helped fight Quartzmon to thank Tagiru, before being returned to the Digital World.

Digimon Adventure:

In "The Gold Wolf of the Crescent Moon", a Kotemon is a group of refugee Digimon whose villages had been destroyed by Zanbamon. In "The End of the Adventure", this Kotemon is present with most of the other refugees at a grave site, paying its respects while Strabimon lays flowers on the graves, some time after the defeat of Negamon.
