=Profile= Hiroshi Yushima is the commander of DATS, was formally the Assistant Inspector of the Special Investigations Unit at the Kanagawa Police HQ (神奈川県警本部, 特捜隊 Kanagawa Keimotobu Tokusoutai) and was one of the Digital World Exploration Party members. At the beginning of the series, he appears as a mysterious old man and appears before Masaru, giving him his Digivice iC. He would appear on several occasions again, mostly at opportune times, in different costume, to give Masaru advice to aid him in his missions. Info regarding him was revealed when he went to the Digital World in order to aid Masaru and the others in their first encounter with Mercurimon at Infinite Ice Palace. To save them from disaster, Yushima manages to execute a Digisoul Charge, making Kamemon, who was revealed to be his Partner Digimon in the episode, DS18, evolve to Gawappamon. He was eventually forced to help them escape back to the Human World, and disappeared in a cave-in inside Infinite Ice Palace.

He later reappeared in DS30, where he appeared to be captured by the inhabitants of the Holy Capital on ElDoradimon's back. Until it was revealed that the Digimon saw Masaru's (who was also present) father as their savior, and they were set free. Yushima informs them of how he managed to escape from Infinite Ice Palace. Apparently, he was blown of of there as well as Gawappamon, due to the aftershock of Mercurimon's blast. After learning of Professor Daimon's quest in search for Yggdrasil, he and Kamemon decide to follow his tracks.

Later, Yushima helped in the fight against the Gizmon during the Holy Capital invasion, attempting to prevent them from attacking ElDoradimon, who was later permanently deleted in the Human World. He is later seen assisting Touma's younger sister, Relena, along with her father and in DS42, evolves Gawappamon to Shawujinmon to hoard off an army of Knightmon and fight against Rhodo Knightmon.
