Yagami Taichi (Adventure)

=Biographical Information=

=Personality= =Profile= Taichi Yagami is a main character from the first two seasons of the anime Digimon and the manga Digimon V-Tamer.

He is characterized as an adventurous character that wears a set of goggles, a characteristic that is shared among the main characters in the various Digimon series. The goggles also act as a symbol of leadership, and Tai is the leader of the Chosen Children (DigiDestined in the dub version) in Digimon Adventure and the leader of the senior group in Digimon Zero Two. He is the older brother to Hikari Yagami.

As a leader, he often acts first without realizing the consequences of his actions. This has led him to moments of friction and guilt between his best friend Yamato Ishida, his love interest Sora Takenouchi, as well as his Digimon partner Agumon. However, he manages to do whatever is necessary to rectify the situation, and in times of need, save friends and family from certain doom. He was the bearer of the Crest of Courage. His representative color is Orange and elemental affinity is fire.

The V-Tamer version is more of a planner and calm than the anime version, and his partner is Zeromaru (a Veedramon). It was revealed the hero of C'mon Digimon manga, Kentarou Kamon, was the source and inspiration for the design and character of Taichi.

Prelude to Digimon Adventure
Hikari and Taichi discovered a Botamon that came of their parents' PC when they were both very young. It evolved into Koromon and the two children befirended it, but it became feral when it evolved into Agumon, and then Greymon. A Parrotmon also crossed over from the Digital World challenged the aggressive Greymon, defeating it until Hikari revived it with her whistle, allowing it to overpower Parrotmon and causing both Digimon to vanish from the human world.

Digimon Adventure
The adventurous leader of the group, Taichi was always the first to jump into action though it often throws him into the path of danger. He soon realizes to be a true leader he must the others' confidence and use empathy rather than reckless courage.

Digimon Adventure: Our War Game
Taichi was writing an e-mail to Sora to apologize after a fight they had, accidentally put a heart at the end of the letter. Taichi's letter, however, wasn't to be received after Hikari sent it because of a strange Digimon who had appeared on the Internet. Koushiro came over to Taichi's house and they contacted Gennai who sent Agumon and Tentomon into the Internet to battle the rapidly evolving Digimon. Yamato, Takeru and their partners joined Taichi and Koushiro's partners in battling the Digimon, who had become Diablomon. The letters being sent to the Chosen Children to encourage them were slowing their partners down and allowed Diablomon to defeat them and escape. WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon tracked Diablomon, who was rapidly multiplying, and were again plagued by the e-mails. Taichi and Yamato entered the Internet to revive their Digimon and they fusion evolve to become Omegamon. Taichi, Yamato and Omegamon then fought Diablomon in the Internet, destroying him in the nick of time. Taichi's e-mail to Sora finally got through and the two eventually made up.

Between Digimon Adventure & Digimon Adventure 02
During May of 2000, Taichi arrived in the Digital World and gave up his Crest power to free the Sovereigns. As a result, Agumon lost the ability to become MetalGreymon and War Greymon.

Digimon Adventure 02
Taichi has grown emotionally by this time. He is much calmer and less likely to act without thinking. Seemingly with a lot of free time on his hands, he often helps out the younger Chosen Children in their quest. When he is not going to the Digital World, he is still playing soccer. He aids Daisuke the most who inherieted the trait of Courage from him.

Digimon Adventure 02: Diablomon Strikes Back
Taichi is the same as the second series. A more experienced leader now, however he still has that ready-for-anything-with-action attitude. In this movie, he seems to be the leader of both generations of Chosen Children now, however, Koushiro has more of an understanding of what's going on. So when Taichi hears the news of how Diablomon survived, he is ready to go in the Internet and take him down once and for all.

After the victory on the Internet, the war in the real world begins. Thanks to Angewomon, Omegamon blasts his way out of the Internet, yet the blast (whether it was powerful enough to destroy Armagemon or not) misses the creature by mere inches. Taichi and Yamato fall off their Digimon's shoulders. When they get up, they can't believe what a monster they are going be fighting. Omegamon is ready and attacks.

Taichi loses hope as he stares at his defeated Digimon, who was, as most believed, the strongest Digimon they had and he now stands motionless after a powerful blast from his opponent. It was only after Sora shook him out of it that he started to try and give his best confidence and hope to Imperialdramon, the second most powerful after Omegamon.

Imperialdramon was defeated even more quickly, even in Fighter Mode. After the Omega Sabre was given to Imperialdramon he became Imperialdramon Paladin Mode and defeated Armagemon, the Kuramon started to appear. Taichi was one of the Chosen Children, along with Sora and Yamato, who used their Digivices along with the cell phones of the normal people to delete the Kuramon.

Digimon Adventure 02: Series Finale epilogue
Taichi became a United Nations Diplomat for the Digital World and finally cut his hair after all those years. He has one son. His wife is unknown.

V-Tamer
Taichi from V-Tamer is a V-Pet fanatic and had a Digimon thought to be a glitch. When he was summoned to the Digital World he learned that 'glitch' was his partner, Zeromaru, who was evolved into a rare digimon known as Veedramon. He met Lord Holy Angemon, who brought him to the Digital World to help them fight Demon. Taichi agreed, and with Gabo as a tour guide, he and Zero go to explore the Digital World in order to find the five V-Tamer Tags. He faced Etemonkey, the evil Digimon that guard the Tags. Later on, he meets other humans, like Neo Saiba and the Alias III, who eventually helped him out. After he and Zeromaru defeated Daemon, Taichi and the other children returned to the Real World.

Instead the anime version, Taichi from V-Tamer was a lone warrior, but he have a great team work whem the opportunity come. He is a very calm and a great strategist. However, he had a great sense of humor too.

There were a few team-up specials Taichi had with Daisuke, Ryou, & Takuya.

Rivals
Taichi, in both Adventure and V-Tamer, had a rival. While the bit between him and Yamato in the series was a friendly rivalry, Taichi's issue with Neo were more severe and life-threatening.
