Background
Born in the late 60's in Tokyo, Japan, the young Oikawa Yukio was a shy and lonely boy. His only friend in the world was Hida Hiroki, who was obsessed with the Digital World. The two would spent hours and hours playing video games and made contact with the Digital World. Hiroki and Yukio made a promise that one day they will visit the Digital World together.

Hida Chikara, Hiroki's father became worried about his son's obessession, decided to take the video games away from them and since Hiroki spent too much time with Oikawa, he tried to seperate them and forbid Oikawa entering his house again. Although the two were heartbroken, they continued to remain friends.

When they entered collage, Hiroki and Yukio started work on a project that would help them get to the Digital World. Yukio became a computer programmer working along with Ichijouji Ken's father, while Hiroki became a police officer. In 1993, Hiroki got married a woman named Fumiko and had a child named Iori, though Yukio didn't have much contact with either. In 1995, following the battle between Parrotmon and Greymon in Hikarigaoka, Yukio went there to investigate along with Takeru's mother. At this point, Yukio hypothesized that it was the gateway to the Digital World.

In 1999, while on duty, Hiroki took a bullet for an important figure and died. Yukio took it very hard, and never got over the death of his only friend. On August 3rd, 1999, he was on the pier at Tokyo Bay, watching tearfully as the Digital World appeared in the sky; it is implied that he was going to commit suicide at the spot. However, before he could do anything, the disembodied spirit of Vamdemon offered to help him get to the Digital World. The desperate Yukio agreed, and Vamdemon entered his body, from then on acting as a latent force that directed Yukio's actions.

Digimon Adventure 02
In the following years, Oikawa created two half-human, half-Digimon creatures, Archnemon and Mummymon, who did his bidding. In the funeral of Osamu Ichijouji, he spotted Osamu's younger brother, Ken, and sensed that he was a Chosen Child. He proceeded to send Ken an anonymous email, directing him to the World of Darkness and corrupting him. He brought the technology for Evil Rings and Dark Towers from the World of Darkness and gave them to Ken, who became the Digimon Kaiser and used the technology to try and take over the Digital World. Oikawa had hoped that with Ken in control of the Digital World, he would have an easier time thinning the Digital World's defenses and getting in. However, the Chosen Children interfered.

When Ken shed off his Digimon Kaiser persona, Oikawa sent Archnemon and Mummymon to fight the Chosen Children complete the task of thinning the Digital World's defenses. Their plan involved having Black War Greymon, an artificial Digimon Archnemon created using a hundred Dark Towers, destroying the seven Holy Stones that kept the balance of the Digital World. However, the Chosen Children managed to stop them, and Oikawa realized that he will have to adopt a more direct approach.

On Christmas, Oikawa spread Dark Towers across the Real World, and while the Chosen Children were busy taking them all down, he sent Archnemon and Mummymon in a truck to kidnap twenty children. The next day, they kidnapped Ken as well, and Oikawa scanned Ken's Dark Seed and spread it to the other children. They drove all the way to Hikarigaoka, where Demon stopped the truck. As the Chosen Children fought Demon, Oikawa, Archnemon and Mummymon escaped, not before Oikawa told the Dark Seed children to come back to Hikarigaoka on December 31st.
