Digimon Universe Appli Monsters[edit]

In the past, Naoto was the closest friend of Kazuki/Itsuki, and spent time playing games together with them. However, by the time of the game, he became averse to connections and shut them off. He also became an Appli Driver with Offmon as his Buddy Appmon, whose power he used to cut off Appli Talk so Kazuki/Itsuki couldn't contact him.

Two months before the start of the game, Kazuki/Itsuki faced Naoto in the Cyber Arena to recover their bond. During the fight, Naoto used Raidramon against Kazuki/Itsuki's DoGatchmon and ultiamtely lost after DoGatchmon underwent an AppGattai with Timemon to form Globemon, who defeated Raidramon with its Glanz Gazer.

In the present, Kazuki/Itsuki attempted to contact Naoto but couldn't. Mio sent them to look for her brother, as Naoto's personality had undergone a dramatic shift and she believed only his old best friend could understand why. However, when they confronted Naoto at school, Naoto refused to talk to them, arguing that they had nothing in common as Kazuki/Itsuki couldn't see "them".

After Kazuki/Itsuki became an Appli Driver, they learned from MCmon that Naoto was a champion at the Cyber Arena, and made it their goal to reach his level and fight him to reclaim their connection. At first, when they met once more, Naoto was surprised and annoyed that Kazuki/Itsuki had become an Appli Driver and refused their connection, but took the time to explain how shy and withdrawn Offmon was due to being an Offline Appmon. Later on, after clearing a few quests, they met once more, and Naoto decided to fully sever their connection personally in an Appli Driver battle. During the fight, Naoto used many Appmon either as his main or Applink (Drawmon, Navimon, Hackmon, Auctiomon), ultimately sending Offmon (Applinked with Mailmon) as his trump card after they were all beaten. However, Offmon was similarly defeated. After the fight, Onmon pushed to connect with Offmon which only made him run away in fear, while Kazuki/Itsuki explained their connection to Onmon and defended the importance of being connected. Going even further, they had Onmon forcefully reconnect Naoto's Appli Talk, making it clear they would redo it as many times as needed. While Naoto had only lost because he was merely testing Kazuki/Itsuki, he was nonetheless mad at the situation and ended up leaving alongside Offmon.

Some time later, Kazuki/Itsuki and Naoto met up again at the Cyber Arena for the start of the High-End GP. However, MCmon had left for the gas station, so Kazuki/Itsuki went to get him while Naoto remained in the Cyber Arena to be ready to fight as soon as possible.
