Lee Jianliang

Lee Jianliang is one of the main protagonists of Digimon Tamers. He is the partner of Terriermon, as well as Lee Shaochung's elder brother.

=Profile= Jianliang is half-Chinese and half-Japanese: his father (Jiang-yu) is Chinese and his mother (Mayumi) is Japanese. He is the third oldest 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, Shaochung. Along with his father, Jianliang is a Tai-chi student, studying art under a Sensei who is a family friend. In a moment of self-reflection, Jianliang confessed that he had been an extremely willful child and that having three siblings forced him to become self-reliant and independent. His study of martial arts was also revealed to be a way of asserting himself to stand out amongst his large family. Once, he got into a serious argument with a neighborhood child and, presumably in a moment of thoughtlessness, injured the child with his Tai-chi skills.

Since realizing the error of his ways, Jianliang devoted himself to practicing self-restraint, fearing that he might hurt someone else if he were to lose control of his emotions again. He became responsible, quiet, and a soft-spoken person who conducts himself with maturity, but also tends to blame himself for things beyond his control. When he was first introduced, he was practical and knowledgeable. Being reserved resulted in clashes with the seemingly cold and indifferent Ruki. However, he was willing to help Takato with Digimon-related issues. As the series progressed, he became more open and willing to engage with others, learning that there were battles he has to fight when need be.

Background
Jianliang 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-Ark, and Terriermon was transported from the computer game into Jianliang's arms. Jianliang realized he had hurt many Digimon through the game, and promised Terriermon that he would never make him battle again. Since then, Jianliang was reluctant to get into fights, developing a pacifistic approach to life.

Although Jianliang does not appear himself, Saint Galgomon, his Matrix Evolved form with Terriermon, appears alongside Shibayama Junpei in the form of Blitzmon among those brought by the Old Clock Shop Man to fight against Quartzmon.

Jianliang serves as Terriermon's Tamer. As such, he appears in the character select menu alongside his Partner Digimon and when Terriermon evolves into Saint Galgomon.

Lee is available as a Tamer starting from August 25, 2020.
