Character Information
Character Name: Takato Matsuda
Age: 12
Canon: Digimon Tamers
Canon Point: After Message in a Packet
Character Information: Link
Personality:
And perhaps of more importance, Takato doesn't see a difference between real and digital life. Other people throughout the series claim that because digimon are made out of data, they're not as real or as sentient as humans. Takato doesn't. To him Guilmon is his friend, and isn't that the thing that really matters?
Most of Takato's abilities revolve around his connection with Guilmon.
- Takato can strengthen Guilmon by sending his own strength and belief in him. On the flipside of this, if Guilmon gets hurt Takato can feel the pain. They can sometimes hear each other from a long distance away or talk to each other in a space inside their minds.
- Takato can use the cards from the Digimon card game to give Guilmon extra abilities.
- Takato can turn any card into a blue card.
- Dukemon. Just Dukemon.
1. His box of spare Digimon cards.
2. A large bag of Guilmon bread
3. A box of art supplies
Digimon:
Digimon Partner: Guilmon
Baby Form: Jyarimon
Baby II Form: Gigimon
Child: Guilmon
Adult: Growmon
Personality:
Guilmon's favorite things are bread, Takato and playing. He has complete faith that Takato has all the answers, and that as long as they are together they can conquer everything.
He is rarely afraid of anything, but gets very upset when Takato has arguments with him. He seems to be most afraid when Takato is in danger or separated from him. Guilmon is easily lead by his stomach, and can be very easy to trick.

Using telepathy/mind reading abilities on this character: Y. Note: Takato's mind probably feels odd. He is bonded to his partner, to the point that they can have had conversations in a shared mindspace, can share energy, influence each others emotions, and feel each others pain when injured. At least once he has had out of body experiences while dreaming.
Takato is not telepathic or empathic himself, but it is likely that his mind is very open to telepathic or empathic influences.
Other Notes:
- During the final fight against the D-Reaper, Takato was changed into data in the real world, similar to how he became data while traveling in the Digital World. Takato himself is not entirely aware of any effects from this, but any characters who could sense data are welcome to notice this.
- Through the D-Arc Takato can manipulate data to a certain degree. Specifically he can boost Guilmon's strength by sending him his own energy, and can turn the cards from the Digimon card game into real effects. Its also hinted that he can bring down firewalls. Somehow.

Character Information
Name: Takato Matsuda
Canon: Digimon Tamers/Digimon 03
Canon Point: After the Message in a Packet post series audio drama
OU/AU/CRAU/OC: OU
Age: 13
World Information:
This series of Digimon starts off in a world that is very similar to the real world. Takato lives in the Shinjuku district in Tokyo, where his parents own a small bakery. Digimon is a massively popular card game and video games franchise. However, it is quickly revealed that digimon are real. They are data based life forms that evolved from an AI experiment in the 1980s and escaped onto the network. As the internet evolved and more data passed through it, the digimon and the digital world they lived in inside the network evolved as well.
By Takato's canon point, it is common knowledge that digimon are real. It is also known that all of the digimon were forced to return to the network until the Digital World heals. Shinjuku has completed rebuilding from a series of digimon attacks, and everyone is being encouraged to forget about the digimon and move on with their lives.
But... Takato doesn't want to do that.
Personal History:
Around this same time, the human programmers who had created digimon realized that Takato and Guilmon needed the ability to fly in order to truly fight the D-Reaper. Using the data of the digital boat, which Takato and Guilmon had befriended on the way home from the Digital World, they gave it wings and turned it into the dragon Grani. A dragon steed for a dragon knight.
With the new abilities and allies, the Tamers were able to push back the D-Reapers agents and finally entered the D-Reaper's Zone for a final battle. During the battle Grani sacrificed himself and merged with Takato and Guilmon, giving them his wings and allowing them to evolve into a winged knight form. They were able to rescue their friend who had been taken by the D-Reaper while the other Tamers activated a program that returned the D-Reaper to its original form as a basic data clean up program.
But the use of that program destabilized the data in the real world. All of the digimon partners were forced to return to the Digital World with only the hope that some day it would be safe to return. And Takato made a promise to Guilmon that one day they would play together again.
After some time Takato found a new portal to the Digital World. He was very excited about this, and was making plans to enter it and find Guilmon, when the adults discovered this. They told Takato that it was too unstable and dangerous to use, and put a firewall over it to prevent the Tamers from entering it. Takato got very angry about this and yelled at both his parents and the human programmers. And somehow, he broke through the firewall.
But again, he was stopped before he could enter the portal. The adults filled in the access point with concrete. Takato was very angry with them for a while, but eventually he felt guilty about the things he said to them and apologized. They told him he should forget about the digimon and move on with his life. But... even if he didn't want to be angry about it anymore Takato does not want to give up on his last promise to Guilmon. He still wants to play with him again some day.
Personality:
And perhaps of more importance, Takato doesn't see a difference between real and digital life. Other people throughout the series claim that because digimon are made out of data, they're not as real or as sentient as humans. Takato doesn't. To him Guilmon is his friend, and isn't that the thing that really matters?
Tomorrow I will be a better me.
As long as my friends are with me, I can accomplish anything.
Main Motivation:
Takato just wants a world where he can play together with his friends. All of them, whether they're made out of DNA or data. That motivation has stayed the same through the series, whether that meant fighting trying to get all of his friends to work together or merging with his best friend and partner to become a knight/angel and punching his way through a rogue computer program trying to delete all of reality. At his current canon point, that means doing everything he can to find a way to Guilmon again. He made a promise that they would play together again some day, after all.
Skills:
This is a complicated question, because as a Digimon character, a lot of Takato's abilities are channeled through a partner who is appable as a separate character, and canon never really shows Takato on his own.
Abilities with Partner
- Takato is deeply connected to Guilmon through a device called a D-Arc.
- They sometimes can hear each other from a long distance away, or simply seem to know that the other needs them. They have also had conversations inside Takato's mind.
- Takato can give Guilmon his own energy to help him become stronger for a short time or to help him evolve to stronger forms. The stronger the form, the more closely Takato is connected to him. At child and adult levels this is not very noticeable. At the perfect level, Takato feels the pain from any injuries that Guilmon takes and can directly give him energy. At the ultimate level, they merge together into one individual. This connection is usually passed through the D-Arc, but the first time they merged together, they did it without one.
- In the Tamers world, Takato can change data through the power of belief.
- Takato can use the cards from the Digimon card game to temporarily give Guilmon new abilities or items. It is explained that this works because Tamers can manipulate the data connection to their partners through the D-Arc through belief.
- Takato can turn any card into a blue card simply by wishing for it. A blue card is a card with a special algorithm on it that is designed to connect humans and digimon. Takato's card reader became his digivice when he first used a blue card on it.
- In the Digital World, Takato could manipulate his own data by believing that he could live without eating or that he could breathe water.
Abilities Takato can use on his own
- Not psychic, but probably going to be more sensitive to psychic/empathic things happening than a typical human. He's had at least one true dream where he went on an out of body experience.
- Seeing as Takato broke through a government firewall after Guilmon left, he probably has some ability to manipulate data through the D-Arc on his own. He could potentially still create blue cards, although that's a rather useless ability without any digimon around.
- Good at drawing
- Knows how to bake bread
Item:
His D-Arc.

Notes:
I am using the original Japanese sub. The English dub is similar, but changed some names, and there are some minor characterization differences.
Although, to be honest, Takato was currently even more lost than usual. They'd almost managed to find everyone. Even Calumon. But then a data stream had swept him up, along with Henry and Terriermon, and they'd found their way to Shibumi's underwater home. They'd learned a lot, there. Even some secret about Guilmon that Takato wasn't sure what to think about. Guilmon was more than just spare data that the digignomes had created in the form of his dream. He was so much more than that. But Shibumi had been so sure...
But while Takato had been distracted thinking about that, another data stream had swept him up. And now he had no idea where he was, or how he was even going to start getting back to the others.
This area of the Digital World.... It looked like he'd ended up in some kind of grassland this time. Takato sets off purposefully for a few small trees he could see in the distance. Maybe there was a river there.

REINCARNATION (Takato)
Name: Thomas "Thom" Tilly.
Age: 12
Appearance: Thom is a year older than Takato was at the end of the series, but his appearance has not changed significantly. The biggest change is that he never wears goggles on his head.
History: Thom grew up as the middle child of the Tilly family. He has led a very ordinary life up to now. He is a student in Year 8. He is very fond of animals and often volunteers at a nearby animal shelter.
REINCARNATION (Guilmon)
Name: Gizmo
Age: 6 months
Appearance: A rather scruffy looking half grown dog.
History: Gizmo was born at the animal shelter Thom volunteers at. He was listed for adoption for quite some time. At one point a family did try to adopt him, but returned him when they were unable to deal with a rambunctious puppy. When Thom came in one day to help feed the animals, he instantly got attached. He immediately began begging his family to let him have a dog. Despite the family's love for cats, he finally succeeded.
First Echo:
Echo: Gizmo's sentience.
Cause: As Guilmon, meeting Takato was really the beginning of his life. Guilmon entered the human world as a newborn digimon, and Takato was the very first person he met. They formed an almost instant connection, and Guilmon began his life. In meeting Thom and being adopted, Gizmo is also forming a connection and starting a new part of his life. Although Gizmo was adopted once before, it was by an older couple. They were kind, but returned him to the shelter quickly when it became obvious that a puppy wasn't a good match for their lifestyle, and Gizmo's relationship with them was rather distant in the brief time he was with them. Like their first meeting, Gizmo's meeting with Thom is the first time he's had a close encounter with a child, and the first time he is starting a new part of his life with a child who can grow with him. The connection of friendship Gizmo forms with Thom on their meeting is also more similar to their previous first meeting, than the distant connection he had with his first adoption
PERSONALITY (Takato)
Pre-Incarnation Personality:
Any differences?:
With no Digimon franchise to become involved with in this world, Thom developed a number of other interests. He loves animals of all kinds, and often volunteers at local animal shelters. He also loves dinosaurs, and often entertains himself by drawing pictures of what they might have looked like. He has also taken interest in a number of different television franchises, and can happily explain any of them to anyone who will listen.
Being a middle child now, rather than an only child, Thom is less inclined to spend time alone. Rather than staying home and entertaining himself by drawing, he would rather go out and do things. He still doesn't like it when people fight, but now he is more inclined to take an active role and negotiate an end to it.
Being part of a large family, he is more socially aware and confident when dealing with people outside the family, He slightly more adept at talking to people and isn't quite as prone to tying himself up in conversational knots.
PERSONALITY (Guilmon)
Pre-Incarnation Personality:
Guilmon genuinely enjoys fighting and growing stronger, but he is also cheerful and naive. He is very young in some ways. He’s been alive for less than two years, and he has the inexperience that comes with that. But he also possesses a simple kind of wisdom. Sometimes he can see things more clearly than any of the other characters. He is very much a character who lives in the moment, and doesn't see the need to worry about the past or future.
Guilmon's favorite things are bread, Takato and playing. He has complete faith that Takato has all the answers, and that as long as they are together they can conquer everything.
He is rarely afraid of anything, but gets very upset when Takato has arguments with him. He seems to be most afraid when Takato is in danger or separated from him. Guilmon is easily lead by his stomach, and can be very easy to trick.
.
Any differences?:
As a rather large and scary looking red dinosaur Guilmon had to learn that people could be afraid of him and that it was sometimes necessary to hide from them. Gizmo understands none of that. Because of that he is more social, and likely to actively seek out new people, but also more naive in this way.
Gizmo adores Thom and the Tilly family, but because of the incident where he was returned to the shelter he is somewhat insecure about his place in the family.
Gizmo will fight if cornered, but unlike Guilmon he does not enjoy it.. Not being a digimon anymore, that feral part of his character that came from the programming that drove digimon to fight each other and grow stronger is gone.
Abilities:
- Guilmon's Abilities
- Digging.
- Guilmon has an excellent sense of smell, and can smell and follow different kinds of data from a long distance.
- Fireball attack
- Empathic Connection
- Takato and Guilmon have a strong empathic connection.
- They sometimes can hear each other from a long distance away, or simply seem to know that the other needs them. They have also had conversations inside Takato's mind.
- Takato can give Guilmon his own energy to help him become stronger for a short time.
- When Guilmon gets hurt in a fight, Takato also feels the pain.
- They are connected through a device called a D-ARC, which was created to bring children and digimon together. Through it, Takato can power up Guilmon with cards, see through Guilmon's eyes and identify other digimon, and eventually allow Guilmon to evolve.
- Cards
- Takato can use the cards from the Digimon card game to temporarily power Guilmon up and give him temporary additional attacks and abilities.
- Blue Card
- Takato can turn any card into a blue card simply by wishing for it. A blue card is a card with a special algorithm on it that is designed to connect humans and digimon. Takato's card reader became his digivice when he first used a blue card on it. A blue card can also be used to evolve Guilmon to his perfect level, provided a source of power could be found.
- Evolution
- Takato can send his energy to Guilmon to allow him to evolve to higher levels. This requires an evolutionary catalyst that may not be available until they can access the Digital World.
- Growmon is the adult level form. Essentially he is a much larger version of Guilmon, about the size of a small house. This level can only be reached through a digital evolution catalyst and a certain level of trust between digimon and tamer.
- Megalogrowmon is the perfect level form. At this level Guilmon becomes an enormous cyborg dinosaur. To put the size in context, Takato is the height of one of his claws, This level can only be reached by combining a blue card with a digital evolution catalyst and Takato's energy.
- Dukemon is the ultimate level form. At this level Takato and Guilmon merge together into a holy knight digimon. In order to do this in the real world Takato must be transformed into data as he was near the end of his canon.
- Megidramon is an alternate ultimate level form, caused when Takato was lost in rage and ordered Guilmon to evolve to ultimate. It is very unlikely that this form will ever appear.
- Dukemon Crimson Mode is a mode change of the ultimate level form, created when the dragon Grani merged with Takato and Guilmon as Dukemon. It gives them wings and more powerful weapons

Um, hello? Can anyone hear me?
Am I using this thing right?
My name is Takato, and I think I'm lost. Um, very lost? I mean, the last thing I remember I was in Shinjuku. And this doesn't look anything like that.
[The boy sighs and glances off to the side.]
I don't think this is working, Guilmon. I'm sure I must have done something wrong. Are you sure you can't smell anything familiar?

Hello? [He taps the device curiously with one claw..] Is someone there? I'm Guilmon! Has anyone seen Takato? Guilmon really wants to find him.
This looks like the talking thing Takato had, but Guilmon isn't sure.
[His ears droop.] And now Guilmon is hungry, but there isn't any bread here. Not even the Guilmon bread Takato makes.
