Tachikawa Mimi

=Biographical Information=

=Profile= Mimi is best described as a "girly girl", what with her love for fashion and the color pink. Though she is rather spoiled, prissy and tends to complain when times get too tough for her, she is also a sweet and sensitive girl who cares a lot about her friends. She is very naive and carefree because of the guarded nature of her upbringing. Her innocence causes her to be very blunt, and she will not hesitate to tell everyone exactly what she thinks. She is partnered to Palmon and is the bearer of the Crest of Purity.

Mimi is the only child in a loving and carefree family. Her parents, who are very loving and emotional individuals that often act like newlyweds, tend to spoil Mimi and coddle her, which she certainly enjoys.

Prelude to Digimon Adventure
When Mimi was young, she lived in Hikarigaoka with her parents and attended Wakaba Preschool. In 1995, she witnessed the fight between Greymon and Parrotmon. After this, her family moved to Odaiba.

Digimon Adventure
Since Mimi was spoiled by her parents and raised in a carefree environment, she whined and complained a lot about the hardships of the journey at first. She didn't like to fight, but did so anyway because she wanted to protect her friends.

Despite being horribly out of touch with reality at points, Mimi was arguably one of the most realistic and feeling characters of Adventure. She demonstrated this near the end of the series when she decided (temporarily) that she can't fight alongside the other Chosen Children, after seeing a lot of the friends they made earlier die for their sake. She left the group with Kido Jou, who offered to protect her. However, after they witnessed the death of Leomon, another friend, they realized that they had to fight to prevent more friends from dying. Following this, they started gathering the remaining friends of the Chosen for a big fight at the top of Mugen Mountain.

Digimon Adventure: Our War Game
Mimi was taking a vacation in Hawaii when Koushiro and Taichi were trying to gather the Chosen Children, and was unavailable and unaware of the crisis.

Between Digimon Adventure and Digimon Adventure 02
On May 2000, Mimi arrived in the Digital World and gave up her Crest power to free the Four Holy Beasts. As a result, Palmon lost the power to evolve to Perfect.

Shortly before September 2001, she and her parents moved to New York City in the United States. She was in Manhattan during the September 11th attacks, and rushed to the wreckage to help the rescue efforts. At Ground Zero, she met Michael and the rest of the American Chosen Children.

Digimon Adventure 02
Mimi had become well-integrated in the United States, finding many friends and dressing according to the current fashion. Though more mature than she was three years before, she still came off as a bit of a ditz at times. Around Golden Week of 2002, Mimi came to participate in her older cousin's wedding, and took a few hours to join the younger Chosen Children at a picnic in the Digital World.

That summer, a gate to the Digital World opened in America, allowing Mimi to access the Digital World at least twice. On the first time, she introduced the younger Chosen Children to Michael. On the second, she was playing with a bunch of Yukimi Botamon, while Palmon was out collecting more food. Palmon was the first to witness Archnemon, who converted a Dark Tower into a Digimon and ordered it to destroy a nearby dam. Palmon ran back to warn Mimi, who called the Chosen Children for help, and when their Digimon were all exhausted and defeated, she was the one to message Ken.

When the Chosen Children traveled around the world to round up wild Digimon that had come through the Digital Gates on Christmas Day, Michael brought Daisuke and V-mon from Miami, Florida, all the way to Manhattan, where the two boys and Mimi orchestrated the rounding up of the Digimon.

Digimon Adventure 02: Diablomon Strikes Back
In the first part of the movie, she was traveling to Japan by plane and later showed up at the school computer lab where Koushiro, Takeru and Hikari were.

25 Years Later
By the year 2027, Mimi becomes a very famous and well-loved chef who has her own cooking show that is broadcast worldwide. Palmon is an equal partner on the show, helping Mimi out with her cooking. Mimi is married and has a son, who has a Tanemon for a partner.

Digimon Adventure 02: Hurricane Touchdown/Golden Digimentals
Takeru and Hikari were visiting her in New York. While she took their picture with a digital camera, something odd happened. She went to a telephone booth to connect her laptop to test the connection, but disappeared a few moments later. Takeru and Hikari were left to determine what made her disappear into thin air.
