## Media

### Voice Actor

Sakamoto Chika

**Koromon** (コロモン) is the first digimon Yagami Taichi and Yagami Hikari met.

## Appearance

When he was born as Botamon, he is 30 cm high and looks like a botamochi-shaped creature with black fur, yellow eyes, and small ears. After evolving, Koromon looks like a pink, ball-shaped Digimon with floppy ears, bright-red eyes and sharp teeth.

As an Agumon he becomes a big Tyrannosaurus rex-like Digimon standing about 2 meters tall, and has yellow skin and light green eyes. He also has flattened forearms with broad, three-clawed hands, and distinct pectoral muscles. His legs and arms are shown to be very vascular. His tail is stubby, his head and snout are almost as large as the rest of its body, and his ears are very small.

As Greymon, he grows to be 8 meters tall. He is shaped as a bipedal reptilian Digimon whose design carries elements of the Ceratosaurus and the classic monster Gomora. He has orange scales with blue stripes covering his body. he has three clawed fingers on his hands and three clawed toes on his feet, with claws protruding from his heels. He wears a rhinoceros beetle-like skull on his head.

## Personality

As the Botamon hatched from its digitama, it attacks Taichi and is suspicious of the siblings. It gains trust in them only when it manages to bond with Hikari. It has a big apatite, and as it evolves to Koromon it shows Taichi and Hikari gratitude by hugging them, saying it is a "sign of friendship". When it evolves into Agumon it stops talking, and it is not longer clear whether it is rational as it seems to be suspicious again of its surroundings. However it still protects Taichi and Hikari when Parrotmon attacks and as it evolves into Greymon.

## Abilities

As a baby I level digimon, Botamon is very quick and moves by hopping. Its attacks are weak and mainly used to scare its opponents. In his Baby II level, Koromon is slightly stronger but still weaker than cats. It can use its ears as hands or feet. In its Child level, Agumon becomes 2 meters high and ends up shattering Taichi and Hikari's bed, as well as their bedroom window. The small flames it shoots from its mouth have the power of a heavy firearm, but are still not powerful enough to defeat Parrotmon. In its Adult level, Greymon becomes much bigger, stronger, and with sharper teeth and claws. One flame it shoots from its mouth is like a million flames capable of damaging a Perfect level Digimon like Parrotmon. In addition, its long-horned hard mask makes it possible to attack and defend at a higher level.

### Attacks

***Acid Bubbles***: Botamon blows bubble-like substances from its mouth. It is a common Baby I level attack, that does not inflict much damage. Botamon uses it to attack Taichi and bond with Hikari.

***Baby Flame***: Agumon spits a fiery breath from its mouth to attack the opponent. It uses this attack around Hikarigaoka when feeling threatened and against Parrotmon, though to no avail.

***Unknown attack***: Greymon spits a strong windy breath from its mouth. It uses this attack against Parrotmon, successfully damaging it.

## Plot

### Digimon Adventure (movie)

Koromon first hatches from its egg as a Botamon and immediately latches onto Taichi's face. Taichi throws him off, and he runs under the nearby bed. After Taichi throws his googles at him, he retaliates by blowing bubbles at him. He eventually becomes trusting in Hikari who whistles at him and feeds him chocolate, causing him to evolve into Koromon.

When Hikari steals their cat's, Miko, foos and gives it to Koromon, he thanks her by latching onto her face as well and then Taichi's. Miko soon finds Koromon with its food, however, and attacks him. Taichi tries to protect him but Miko scratches them both, taking his food back. Koromon later introduces himself to Hikari and talks with her. He tells Taichi and Hikari that he is a Digimon from the Digital World.

At night, Koromon suddenly evolves into a big Agumon and begins roaming the streets, causing destruction on a small scale, while carrying Hikari on his back. He keeps roaming around the city causing trouble, but before he manages to cause any real casualties, a Parrotmon appears out of a huge egg in the sky. Koromon (Agumon) lashes out as Taichi arrives, which only angers the bird, causing it to destroy an overhead bridge and covering him and the two kids in rubble.

Out of the rubble, a Greymon appears in the Agumon's place and begins fighting back against Parrotmon. After a few minutes, the Greymon is knocked out, and only awakens when Taichi blows Hikari's whistle as loud as he can. He then lets out a blinding attack, and the two Digimon vanish.
