Hajime was kidnapped and transformed into data by Leviathan, who wanted him to use his intelligence to create an app that could start up any program. Hajime did this, and the Appmon connected to the app was Bootmon. When Hajime realized that Bootmon was part of Leviathan's plan to change all humans into data, he programed an emergency escape program into Bootmon and sent him away, whith instructions to hide. Leviathan changed him into a Sleepmon as a punishment, and he slept in that state for several months. When Rei was finally able to rescue him, Hajime stayed asleep until the smell of burned eggs in the morning triggered memories of mornings spent with his brother, and he finally woke up. After he awoke, he told the other Appli Drivers about Leviathans plan. He and Rei provided technical support for everyone in the field from a room in Kashiki Ai's book store.

In the manga, Hajime's data is stored inside Fakemon's body. In this continuity, it is revealed that it was converted to data by Leviathan on an experimental basis as a beta test for the final execution of the Humanity Applification Plan.
