## Digimon Adventure

On the night of August 2, 1999, he tells Ishida Hiroaki that none of the station's telecommunications are working. The two then reunite with, Sakurada and Yuki to discuss the situation and Chioka states it began when the fog showed up. The four then go investigating, during which Chioka notes the fog only covers Odaiba. Suddenly, a DarkTyrannomon walks near their car, and he tells a scared Sakurada to keep quiet. When it passes, the four leave the car and are attacked by a group of Gizamon, and all but Hiroaki are taken as hostages.

The next day, as they are being held at Big Sight, the three discuss an escape plan with other hostages. They decide that the men will distract the Bakemon while the women and children escape, with the help of Sakurada's sutras. They agree on the plan, and Chioka joins the men and starts attacking the digimon with a metal rod, while Yuki leads the women and children out. However, they are soon faced with a DarkTyranomon who blocks their way, and they are forced to retreat back into the building. Later, with Vamdemon's return, they are put to sleep by PicoDevimon's attack, only to be awakened by Vamdemon's defeat.

## Digimon Adventure 02

On the night of July 30, 2002, Chioka and a video editor are working on an episode of "Strange World: Believe it or Not", while they discuss ominous things appearing on the kind of show that they are editing. Chioka laughs it off when he suddenly sees a strange disappearing shadow on the clip which he hasn't seen before, shocking them both. On August 1st, they check the recording again, and notice the shadow always appears in different places on the screen despite playing the same clip, as Chioka notes that this happens on his first job as a director. However, they soon notice that the shadow anomaly happens all around the TV station and not just on their show. The video editor insists that the station is hunted, while Chioka tries to dismiss this saying it was just rebuilt and the equipment is new. On August 2nd, they check the video again, but the shadow keeps appearing. Realizing they cannot air the show this way, Chioka gets desperate, and when Sakurada proposes to listen to his sutras, they decide to try it. However, when they try to play it, only a strange sound comes out, scaring them. Luckily, the event was over by August 3rd.

On December 24, Chioka is working on broadcasting Teen-Age Wolves's Christmas Eve concert with Sakurada and the video editor, when suddenly strange noise is heard. As he says that this is a live show, they suddenly observe as a DarkTyrannomon appears behind the band. Chioka is startled and when Sakurada notes it could get them higher ratings, he yells at him that that is not their problem. After escaping outside, they witness the fight between Greymon and the DarkTyronnomon. Chioka notes that the same thing happened three years ago, and pleads that the station will not be destroyed again as the digimon fight. The battle is finally over with the digimon being sent back to the Digital World by the Chosen Children.
