Yamato Ishida

Yamato Ishida, also known as Matt Ishida, is one of the main characters from the Digimon series.
== Charactah Account ==
Matt wants everyone to think he's a brooding bad boy, but he's actually rather sensitive. He has issues trusting people, and he's very overprotective of his younger brother, T.K. This causes him to be very cautious, which results in a lot of clashes with the get-out-and-go Tai. Despite all this, his crest is Friendship.
Matt starts out as a secretive loner with a cool demeanor. He is mature, thoughtful and level-headed, and more likely to think things through than charge head on. He is a deeply caring person who will do anything for a friend, and is very protective of his loved ones. He is prone to second-guessing and self-deprecation when he cannot protect others—his self-worth hinges on his ability to be a good friend. Unlike Tai, who is more willing to look at the "big picture", sometimes to the detriment of his friends, Matt always tries to focus on the good of his small circle of friends. As a teenager, he is more laid-back and easygoing, and is more willing to support his friends risking themselves against enemy Digimon. However, he still reacts strongly when his friends are under pressure, such as when the news depicted the team's Digimon as monsters, and Tai became reluctant to defend their reputation due to fears about possible casualties. He is also a good singer.
Matt's younger brother, Takeru "T.K." Takaishi, is also one of the eight DigiDestined, but their parents are divorced and so they cannot spend much time together. He is very protective of T.K., and often acts harshly when T.K. is in trouble. After their adventures in the Digital World, their relationship becomes closer, and Matt trusts T.K. more, acknowledging his burgeoning independence.
