**Takeru "T.K." Takaishi** (高石 タケル, *Takaishi Takeru*) is one of the main protagonist of *Digimon Adventure, Digimon Adventure 02*, *Digimon Adventure tri.*, *Last Evolution Kizuna* and *Digimon Adventure 02: The Beginning* and the supporting characters of *Digimon: The Movie* (*Digimon Adventure Movie*, *Digimon Adventure: Our War Game* & *Digimon Adventure 02: Digimon Hurricane Touchdown*) and *Revenge of Diaboromon*.

He is a member of the DigiDestined. He is partnered to Patamon.

## Personality

He is gentle, sweet-natured and generous.

In Digimon Adventure 01, T.K. is the youngest Digidestened. He is very well liked by the other kids. True to his nature, T.K. provides the hope needed for all of the other Digi-destined, particularly in moments of despair.

While T.K often appreciates the guidance and protection that his big brother Matt provides, T.K. can also feel suffocated from Matt’s “helicopter parenting”. He also hates it when Matt gets into a conflict or fight with Tai, the leader of the Digidestined.

Although much of his physical appearance and voice have changed, his personality has remained. Among all of the Digidestined, T.K. remains one of the most calm, adaptable, and levelheaded.

Due to his traumatic experiences as a child against the forces of darkness, he initially holds hostile if not homicidal feelings towards creatures born of the dark forces of the Digital World during the events of Digimon Adventure 2. He eventually overcomes these emotions due to his friendship with Cody Hida, who convinced him to see even as destructive a being as BlackWarGreymon as a sentient being capable of reason and redemption. In the end, he matured as a result and became a more balanced and thoughtful individual.
