Lee Jianliang

Lee Jianliang is one of the main protagonists of Digimon Tamers. He is the partner of Terriermon, as well as Lee Shiuchon elder brother. =Biographical Information=

=Profile= Jenrya is half-Chinese from his father's side. He is the third of four siblings: he has a 17-year-old brother, Rinchei, and a 15-year-old sister, Jaarin, as well as a 7-year-old sister, Lee Shiuchon. He is also a martial artist, studying Tai Chi under his Sensei. When he reflected back upon his childhood, Jenrya confessed to having been an extremely wilful child, and that his numerous siblings had literally forced him to become self-reliant and independent. Once, he got into a serious argument with another child and, presumably in a moment of childish thoughtlessness, injured the child using his Tai Chi skills - something which he grew to intensely regret later on. Since then, Jenrya devoted himself to constantly practicing the art of self-restraint, as he feared that he might hurt someone else with his considerable combat skills if he were to lose control of his emotions. The result was that he became a responsible, quiet, and soft-spoken person who always conducted himself with a maturity far beyond his age, but also with a tendency of blaming himself for things that were not his fault at all. Another downside to this was that he had few - if any, at all - friends (though unproven, of course, the series showed that Terriermon and the other Tamers were the only friends he had). When he was first introduced he was practical and knowledgeable yet reserved, always clashing with the seemingly cold and indifferent Ruki, and always willingly helping Takato with digimon-related troubles. As the series progressed, he became more open and engaging, and learnt that there were some battles that one had to fight to protect the people they loved.

Background
Jenrya received his partner long before Takato. While playing a Digimon computer game, his partner in the game, Terriermon, was defeated by Gorimon. Slashing a Blue Card through his card reader transformed the card reader into a D-Arc, and Terriermon was transported from the computer game into Jenrya's arms. Jenrya realized he had hurt many Digimon through the game, and promised Terriermon that he would never make him battle again. Since then, Jenrya was reluctant to get into fights, developing a pacifistic approach to life.
