Prelude to Digimon Adventure
Before Yamato's parents divorced, he lived with them and Takeru in Hikarigaoka. In 1995, he and his younger brother witnessed the fight between Greymon and Parrotmon.

Yamato's parents divorced before the events of Digimon Adventure. On Yamato's request, his father took him while his mother took his brother. He and his father moved to Odaiba, where his father works at the Fuji TV Network, Inc. building.

Digimon Adventure
Yamato was one of the best friends of the group leader Yagami Taichi, but he was also his major rival, which led to a large internal conflict throughout the show. It climaxed at the end of the season, and was mainly over whether or not Taichi a better older brother to Takeru than he was, and whether he was a better person than Yamato. Yamato was much more protective and concerned about the group as a whole, causing more conflict compared to Taichi's head-first strategy.

Before having to return to the Digital World to fight the Dark Masters, he met up with his mother, who he was not very close to. Although Takeru was ecstatic to have his whole family together (if only for a minute), Yamato refused to say much more than hello to his mother. This encounter revealed lingering resentments in him that continue even after he returned to the Digital World. Upon returning to the Digital World, he became angry when he thought Takeru no longer needed him and decided to leave the group for a while. He returned briefly to save the group from Pinocchimon before disappearing again. Towards the end of the series, he fell into a pit of darkness and was forced to realize that his parents' divorce broke his heart and made him resort to solitude. He refused to let anyone see him cry, which made him turn away from his friends. Gabumon got him to understand that everything would be alright and that he is valuable. Yamato then saved Sora from her own pit of darkness and rejoined the party just in time for the final battle.

Digimon Adventure: Our War Game
When Diablomon began his rampage over the Internet, Yamato was at his grandmother's place with Takeru. The two rushed to town and enter a barbershop, the only place in town with a computer, and connected to the Internet. With Taichi and Agumon and help from Koushiro, they both battled Diablomon. He and Taichi entered the Internet unintentionally and with the help of all of the kids over the net, War Greymon and Metal Garurumon were able to Jogress into Omegamon. Omegamon was able to defeat Diablomon and Yamato and Taichi came back home.

Between Digimon Adventure and Digimon Adventure 02
In May 2000, Yamato arrived in the Digital World and gave up his Crest power to free the Four Holy Beasts. As a result, Gabumon lost the power to evolve to Perfect or Ultimate.

On March 2002, Yamato decided to create a band with three of his classmates, acting as vocalist and bass guitarist. Yamato wanted to name it after Gabumon and after going though all the evolutions of his Digimon partner could not finding a correct one, he decides that, as Gabumon has wolf-type evolutions, the band will be "The Teenage Wolves".

Digimon Adventure 02
Yamato's band became very popular by the beginning of the school year. One of his biggest fans was the older sister of Motomiya Daisuke, Jun, which was often used as comic relief. Though he didn't have much time due to band practice, Yamato was still one of the younger Chosen Children's best aides. He has become a closer friend to Taichi, and though he would still punch Taichi on occasion, it was only to knock some sense into him.

Before a Christmas concert the Teenage Wolves were set to play, Sora decided to approach Yamato and confess that she liked him. He accepted, and they became a couple.

Digimon Adventure 02: Diablomon Strikes Back
Yamato and Taichi went into the Internet to defeat Diablomon once and for all. After they defeated Diablomon, Omegamon blasted his way out of the Internet to fight Armagemon. The gargantuan Digimon managed to destroy Omegamon's arms, but Imperialdramon came and was given the Omega Sabre, which allowed him to change into Imperialdramon Paladin Mode and defeated Armagemon. When the Kuramon started to appear following Armademon's defeat, Yamato and the others used their Digivices, along with the spectators' cellphones, to delete the Kuramon.

25 Years Later
By the year 2027, Yamato has become an astronaut and is married to Sora. He and Gabumon became the first human and Digimon to land on Mars. He has one daughter, a blonde who resembles him, with a Pyocomon; and a son with red hair who resembles Sora, with a Tsunomon.

The first person Daisuke attempted to emulate in order to get more Valentine's Day chocolates from girls was Yamato, although he was terrible at playing the bass guitar. During a plan to distract Boltmon via tap-dancing, Yamato declared his feelings for Sora. }}
