**Kari Kamiya** (八神 ヒカリ, *Yagami Hikari*, **Hikari Yagami** in the Japanese version) is the secondary human character of *Digimon Adventure*, *Digimon Adventure 02*, *Digimon Adventure tri.*, and *Last Evolution Kizuna*.

She is a member of the DigiDestined. She is partnered to Gatomon.

## Appearance

Kari is a young girl with chin-length brown hair, warm reddish-brown eyes, and a peach complexion. Much like her brother, Kari is rather athletic.

## Personality

She is characterized as a compassionate girl putting others before herself. Kari is also incredibly brave, able to stare down Myotismon without flinching at only the age of nine years old. She could also be quite aggressive and at times comically violent, such as encouraging Angewomon to destroy LadyDevimon with extreme prejudice. Kari's defiance in the face of darkness and evil is easily one of her strongest traits, as it is what allowed her to stand up to psychopaths like Myotismon, the Dark Masters, and even Apocalymon itself.

In Season 2, she becomes a smiling, charmingly energetic and bright girl, but sometimes mischievous and playful.

## Digimon Adventure

In *Digimon Adventure,* Kari is at her most heroic condition. She is the Eighth Child of the team, having been Myotismon's prime target.

## Digimon: The Movie

In the movie, Kari is more comic relief. She provides narration and has more screen time than the film's main character, Tai, which makes her the film's central character, a character who has more screen time than the actual main character, as she drives the plot of the film, and only she helps Willis against Kokomon.

## Digimon Adventure 02

Kari is part of the core team this time, as she and T.K. have more experience than the new members.
