### Voice Actor

**Agumon** (アグモン) is Yagami Taichi's Digimon partner and a main character in Digimon Adventure.

## Appearance

Agumon is a short and stout Tyrannosaurus rex-like Digimon standing about 3 feet 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, and His head and snout are almost as large as the rest of its body.

In his Baby I form, Botamon, he looks like a botamochi-shaped creature with black and soft fur, yellow eyes, and small ears. In his Baby II form, Koromon, he is a pink, ball-shaped Digimon with bright red eyes and sharp teeth. his two long ears can be used as hands.

In his Adult form, Greymon, 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.

When he reaches his perfect form of MetalGreymon, he becomes a mechanized version of Greymon, gaining a metallic arm, helmet, and wings. In his Virus form, MetalGreymon skin is tinted blue due to the remodeling, giving it a more monstrous appearance. If a dark evolution to SkullGreymon occurs, he would look as a MetalGreymon skeleton with a fish-shaped missile on his back.

Upon reaching his Ultimate form, WarGreymon, he resembles a tall reptilian Digimon with a humanoid body structure. He has Tyrannosaurus rex-like features (such as hos feet and the shape of his head), but his back is not angled, giving it a human-like posture. He has orange scales covering its most of its body; the only exception is his face, which is covered in grey metal, with one spike on hisnose, two spikes behind his eyes, and spiky red hair on the back of his head. The shin guards, cuirass, and spiked yellow shoulder pads he wears are held in place by thick, red cable-like ropes. He holds two large, yellow three-clawed gauntlets in his hands. The Brave Shield he carries on his back is emblazoned with the Crest of Courage.

When fused with Gabumon or MetalGarurumon to form Omegamon, they become a bipedal knight Digimon with blue eyes and equipped with white armor. His helmet has a white spike in the front and two yellow spikes in the back. He has the combined symbol of the Crests of Courage and Friendship on his chest, surrounded by purple stripes. He bears the Crest of Courage on the Brave Shield Omega on his left shoulder, while his left hand ends with a WarGreymon head, from which the Grey Sword emerges. The DigiCode on the Grey Sword reads (オールデリート Ōru Derīto, lit. "All Delete"). His right shoulder has purple spikes, while his right hand is a MetalGarurumon head, from which the Garuru Cannon emerges. He also wears a white cape, the inside of which is red.

## Personality

Agumon can be naughty, and quite clumsy, but reliable in battle. He is hot-blooded, very curious, and can't ignore his friends' troubles. Agumon loves eating rice dishes. Agumon is much like his partner in that he can be kind and compassionate, but he is often more serious than Taichi. Though he can act rashly, Agumon is more cautious and less prone to getting into sticky situations, though he follows and protects his partner all the way. He can get philosophical at times as well, as he manages to help BlackWarGreymon question his purpose, and even maintains a strong bond with his dark twin. Agumon also shares Taichi's main trait of being incredibly courageous.

## History

Agumon's digitama, along with the other Digimon partners, was made by Gennai and the other agents by orders of Homeostasis. Upon the Dark Masters' attack, Gennai managed to escape with the digitamas and hide them on File Island. The digitamas eventually hatched, and as the baby digimon awaited their human partners, Botamon evolved to Koromon.

## Digimon Adventure

After a long wait, Yagami Taichi arrives in the Digital World. As the human awakens Koromon greets him with great joy, surprising Taichi. Soon Izumi Kōshirō arrives with Motimon, who attempts to explain the situation to the two boys. When Taichi tries to investigate, Koromon follows him up the tree, when suddenly they are attacked by Kuwagamon. In order to protect Taichi, Koromon shoots foam at the big bug, but get hit and falls to the ground. Taichi picks him up and thanks him. They then run and hide in a holographic tree, until Takenouchi Sora calls them to come out and introduces Pyocomon. Soon all the other children and digimon gather, Takaishi Takeru and Tokomon, Ishida Yamato and Tsunomon, Kido Jō and Pukamon, and Tachikawa Mimi and Tanemon, who were running from Kuwagamon. Again, the group has to flee the raging beetle, until they reach a cliff. When Kuwagamon is about to hit Taichi, Koromon attacks him again, this time followed by the other digimon. The little creatures take damage from Kuwagamon but are still determined to fight and protect their human partners. When Kuwagamon reemerges, they leap out of their partners arms and evolve to their child forms. Now stronger, Agumon and the other digimon attack Kuwagamon and momentarily defeat him. However, as they celebrate with the children, Kuwagamon recovers and breaks the cliff, sending them all plunging into the river.

## Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna

One day in 2010, Agumon and Gomamon watch a medical drama on TV in Kido Jō's house. After a horrendous surgery scene, the two Digimon talk about Jō and his fear of blood, which makes Gomamon worried that he won't be able to become a doctor. As they eat, Gomamon comes up with an idea to see if Jō has grown out of his fear of blood. In the evening, when Jō returns from work, he finds Agumon and Gomamon lying in the middle of the street with red markings calling for help, claiming to be injured. Knowing they are not really injured, Jō keeps walking. After Gomamon gets really injured and taken to the hospital, Agumon stays covered in ketchup in the middle of the street, continuing to play injured, until he falls asleep.

On July 19, on the morning after an aurora appears in Japan, a Parrotmon emerges into the streets of Nakano, Tokyo, and Agumon joins Taichi ready for battle. After Agumon evolves to Greymon, he brawls with Parrotmon through the city, causing property damage. After Garurumon appears and saves a building from being crushed, both Greymon and Garurumon Super Evolve into MetalGreymon and WereGarurumon, who overwhelm Parrotmon with their attacks and slam it into the Digital Gate site with Angewomon and Angemon's help to pin it down, until the Gate opens, and Parrotmon is safely sent back to the Digital World. After the battle, Takeru offers to take the group to breakfast, but Taichi and Yamato are unable to make it as they need to get to class, so Takeru, Hikari, Patamon, and Tailmon take Agumon and Gabumon with them to the cafe.

On July 20, with a strange case of a worldwide wave of comas, Agumon joins Taichi to a meeting at Kōshirō's office, where they meet Menoa Bellucci and Imura Kyōtarō. Asserting that the cause for the comas is a Digimon named Eosmon, Agumon and Taichi along with Yamato, Gabumon, Kōshirō, Tentomon, Takeru, and Patamon, enter the Network to battle Eosmon and stop it. The Digimon attack Eosmon, but it evolves to its perfect form. To give Menoa more time to recover the consciousness data, Greymon and Garurumon fuse into Omegamon, who opens fire with its Garuru Cannon to destroy the panels, inhibiting Eosmon's movement. Taking advantage of Eosmon's confusion, Omegamon hits it with another Garuru Cannon blast, causing it significant damage, breaking one of its legs off. Just as it deploys the Grey Sword to finish Eosmon, Omegamon is immediately paralyzed, unable to retain its form, and splits back into Koromon and Tsunomon, allowing Eosmon to escape.

Back in Kōshirō's office, Koromon and Tsunomon eat their way to their Child forms as Menoa reveals that Omegamon's fusion failed because the Taichi and Yamato's partnerships with Agumon and Gabumon are about to end due to them reaching adulthood. When Taichi refuses to listen and wants to go back and defeat Eosmon with Agumon, Menoa warns that forcing him to evolve will accelerate their separation, as evident by a ring of light countdown on their smartphone Digivices. After that, as Taichi and Agumon walk back home, Taichi is startled when Agumon bluntly asks whether growing up means that they cannot be together anymore. However, when Agumon's stomach growls, Taichi volunteers to take them for something to eat. After lunch at a burger restaurant, Taichi and Agumon return to Taichi's apartment. Agumon immediately finds Taichi's adult media stash, to Taichi's absolute horror, declaring that that it's only for adults. When Taichi finds that the ring of light is on his old Digivice as well, he somberly promises Agumon that they will always be together, and the two shake hands. Suddenly, Gennai emerges out of Taichi's laptop, surprising the two. Gennai reconfirms what Menoa's hypothetis about their partnership, and confirms that when the ring of light's countdown reaches zero, Agumon will disappear, though he speculates that if the two still have infinite possibilities, then perhaps it is changeable.

When Mimi is afflicted with an Eosmon-induced coma, Agumon joins Taichi in Jō's hospital, where they meet with Yamato and Kōshirō. When the Chosen Children speak on the situation, Agumon and Gabumon wait outside. Agumon tries to look for Taichi from the balcony, despite Gabumon's warnings and ends up falling off the fence, damaging it. When Gabumon tells him he doesn't grow up, Agumon misinterprets and tells him he hasn't become any bigger either. The two later sit on a bench by the broken fence and talk about Taichi and Yamato growing up and becoming adults. They also talk about their current situation and the fact that they will have to say goodbye to their partners, but they realize that their memories and experiences won't disappear. They determine to face problems they come across together with their partners and to create more memories with them. As the two shake hands at their resolve, Jō calls them back, and Agumon tells Jō that he made a hole in the fence, and apologizes after he yells at him.

In the evening, Agumon and Taichi go to visit Menoa at her hotel, trying to get some answers about her past. As she admits she had a partner Digimon, and that their partnership ended eight years ago, she also explains that she doesn't want others to have a sad goodbye with their Digimon, though she hasn't found a way to halt the process. She also admits to having approached Taichi and Yamato because of their reputation and that she feels that they have a chance to avert the end of the partnership. Shortly after, following Kōshirō's information, Taichi and Agumon take a cab to Hiroo, Shibuya, where Hikari is being held unconscious. Taichi and Agumon find Hikari in a coma, and after getting her to safety, they continue to Kōshirō's office following his text message. When they arrive they find Yamato, Gabumon, Kyōtarō, and an unconscious Kōshirō. After Taichi shows them the coordinates to Menoa's location that Kōshirō sent him, the two Chosen Children realize that they'll have to fight Menoa, hastening the end of the partnership with their Digimon. Nevertheless, Kyōtarō sends them to the Digital World coordinates.

The four emerge in a black void that contains a crystal facsimile of the trolley car that they encountered on File Island in 1999. When they notice Menoa, she reveals that the void is Neverland, in which the Chosen Children are being held as little children, trapped in their own memories with their partner Digimon. As Menoa summons a Perfect-level Eosmon and invites them to join Neverland as well, Agumon and Gabumon snap Taichi and Yamato out of their trans, and they evolve into Greymon and Garurumon. Although they defeat this one Eosmon, Menoa summons hundreds more. As Menoa tells them how she created Eosmon, and of her intentions to “save” all the Chosen Children by trapping them in Never Land, Greymon and Garurumon move to stop her, but are attacked by their fellow Digimon. After Menoa sends hundreds of Eosmons to the Real World, Greymon uses his Mega Flame to spring up a wall of water to cover the group's retreat.

The group takes refuge in a crystal mountain. Although their human partners lose their spirits, Agumon and Gabumon rally them back into battle, knowing the consequences but optimistic about their future. As they return to face Menoa and her Eosmons, Agumon and Gabumon fuse into Omegamon again, consuming four points from their countdowns. Although Omegamon effortlessly destroys all of the Eosmons, Taichi and Yamato’s attempts to reason with Menoa fail and the Eosmons' remains merge around her, forming an Ultimate-level Eosmon. After it attacks and hurts Taichi and Yamato, Omegamon attempts to attack Eosmon, but is blocked and then attacked by Eosmon’s panels. With its left leg and Garuru Cannon arm cut off, Omegamon keeps fighting, until Eosmon slices off its Grey Sword arm and blasts it point blank, forcing it to revert into Agumon and Gabumon. They only awaken when Taichi manages to blow Hikari's whistle, which also awakens the Chosen Children and partner Digimon.

As the Chosen Children and their Digimon join the fight against Eosmon, Agumon and Gabumon are united with their partners in their determination to finish their mission, and evolve one last time into new Ultimate forms. Agumon and Gabumon destroy all the Perfect-level Eosmon, then knock Ultimate-level Eosmon to the ground, and suppress it with an unrelenting wave of fire. As Eosmon’s attacks fail to hit them and instead tear Neverland apart, Agumon and Gabumon deliver a final punch in unison, shattering the center of Neverland in the process. With Menoa's memories of Morphomon appearing on the shards of Neverland, Agumon and Gabumon understand that Menoa has been needing help dealing with her grief all along. As they break through Eosmon’s last barrier, Taichi and Yamato attempt to reach out to Menoa, releasing her from Eosmon, and dissolving Neverland.

With the Chosen Children reawakened, and Menoa arrested, Taichi and Agumon sit together at Tokyo Bay and reminisce, as only one point remains on their countdown. Agumon looks up at Taichi and remarks that he has grown big. He asks Taichi what he wants to do the next day, but disappears before he can get his answer.

## Epilogue

By 2027, Agumon has reunited with Taichi and is accompanying him in his job as ambassador for the Real and Digital Worlds. In one of these days Agumon and Taichi are planning to meet with Centaurmon and the Prime Minister discussing issues in the Digital World. Agumon reminds Taichi about food, and wishes to eat hamburgers after work. One day he accompanies Taichi and his son to a meeting with all the other Chosen Children in the Digital World. Before departing, Agumon tells Taichi's son to have fun.
