HAGURUMON
Group: Machine - Level: Rookie
- Type: Virus - Attack Techniques: Darkness
Gear, Drag
The Hagurumon are minions of Machinedramon. Two
of them constantly monitor his network, and were the ones who
repeatedly discovered the kids in his city when Izzy
unwittingly logged on.
Four years later, a Hagurumon was seen during the final battle
with MaloMyotismon.
Hagurumon first appear in "My Sister's
Keeper." One of their voices was supplied by
Tom Fahn, but the second one remains unidentified.
Name: From the Japanese word, "Haguruma," meaning
gear.
HALSEMON
Group: Animal – Level: Armour
– Type: Data – Attack Techniques: Tempest Wing,
Eagle Eye
Halsemon is the first Armour Digivolved form of Hawkmon,
the Digimon partner of Yolei of the DigiDestined.
Hawkmon Armour Digivolves into Halsemon using the Digi-Egg of
Love. The names of Halsemon’s attacks have not been
very clear in the American version of the show – he has
displayed four techniques (cyclone, energy blades from wings, red
beams from eyes, rings from eyes), yet each and every one of them
has been named “Tempest Wing,” although the eye beams
were later given the name “Eagle Eye.” In Japan, the
tornado is known as “Tempest Wing,” the energy blades
are “Mach Impulse” and the eye rings are “Red
Sun.”
Halsemon first appeared whenever Yolei and Cody found
their Digimon partners in a temple in a forest, along with their Digi-Eggs.
Thanks to some encouragement from Sora, Yolei activated
her Digi-Egg, allowing Hawkmon to Armour Digivolve to Halsemon,
and then team up with Digmon to free Davis and Veemon
from the clutches of the Digimon Emperor. He then defeated
Snimon, one of the Emperor’s slaves, in battle.
Later, Halsemon joined in the battle with the Emperor’s Tyrannomon,
then arrived at the close of Flamedramon’s battle
with RedVegiemon. Halsemon helped destroy the Control
Spire in the frozen north, and was then plunged into solo
battle with the Roachmon Brothers when he and Yolei were
lost in the Night Forest with Mimi. After that, he
participated in the battles in the Gardromon city, and
helped battle Deltamon.
Halsemon then helped battle the Emperor’s Meramon,
but was defeated by SkullGreymon. He was involved in both
battles against viral MetalGreymon.
He took part in the fight with Digitamamon, but when Yolei
found the Digi-Egg of Sincerity, he reverted to Hawkmon,
then used it to Armour Digivolve into Shurimon.
Halsemon appeared again after a little while, to battle Kimeramon.
After the DigiDestined escaped from that battle, they penetrated
the Emperor’s fortress, and Halsemon joined in the battle
against the Bakemon and Kimeramon again. He appeared again
shortly after, re-energised by the power of the Digi-Egg of
Miracles, and helped the other Armour Digimon get the kids to
safety.
Halsemon appeared again when Thundermon attacked a Punimon
village. He next appeared some time later, carrying Yolei to the
site of the third Destiny Stone, but they arrived too
late, and BlackWarGreymon had already destroyed it.
Halsemon next showed up at the battle in Odaiba at Christmas, and
used his eye-ring attack to paralyse most of the Digimon who had
appeared so they could be sent back to the DigiWorld, before
reverted to Hawkmon, then Digivolving to his Champion
form of Aquilamon, and DNA Digivolving with Gatomon
into Silphymon.
When MaloMyotismon was infecting both Earth and the DigiWorld
with darkness, the kids used the powers of the dream dimension
they had been transported into to their own ends. All their
Digimon split into all their different Digivolutionary forms at
once – and so Hawkmon, Halsemon, Shurimon, Aquilamon and
Silphymon joined the other Digimon in battling MaloMyotismon.
When the villain fled into the DigiWorld, only the true
representation of Hawkmon could go through the portal, so
Silphymon went through, while the Halsemon avatar faded away.
Halsemon first appears in “The Digiteam
Complete.” His voice is supplied by Neil Kaplan.
Name: A corruption of his Japanese name, “Holsmon,”
which in itself is derived from a corruption of Horus, the
half-man, half-bird Egyptian god.
HARMONIOUS ONES
The Harmonious Ones are the guardians of the four compass regions
of the DigiWorld. Azulongmon
guards the Eastern region, where the Japanese DigiDestined's
adventures take place. The North is guarded by Ebonwumon, the
West by Baihumon, and the South by Zhuqiaomon.
Shortly before the coming of the original seven DigiDestined to
the DigiWorld, the Harmonious Ones were sealed away by the Dark
Masters. After that adventure was completed, the
Harmonious Ones remained sealed, however, and sought to use the
power of the DigiDestineds' Crests to free
themselves. The DigiDestined were instructed to release the
energy of the Crests by Gennai, creating a
shield that protect the DigiWorld from evil, but with the coming
of the Digimon Emperor, the Harmonious Ones
found themselves trapped still, thanks to the binding power of
the Emperor's Control Spires. From within their
prisons, the Harmonious Ones worked to create a force that could
defeat the Emperor, selecting Digimon and creating Digi-Eggs
and D-3 Digivices, to give to
the next generation of DigiDestined. In addition, they
transformed the Crest of Kindness, which had
been lost to darkness, into the Digi-Egg of Miracles,
which was subsequently found and used by the Emperor to power his
base. It's possible that the Harmonious Ones may have allowed
the Emperor to find it, as it would prove instrumental in his
downfall.
As BlackWarGreymon was destroying the Destiny
Stones, he began to see images of Azulongmon, and
believed him to be his ultimate foe. In the battle to protect the
final Destiny Stone, the DigiDestined tried to move it with their
D-3s, and Azulongmon was freed from his prison, crediting his
freedom to the power of the Crests of Light and Hope.
He dispatched BlackWarGreymon, and explained to the DigiDestined
what had gone before, and warned of what was yet to come.
The other three Harmonious Ones were not shown to be freed. In
a Japanese audio drama released two years after the season ended,
Gennai noted that he didn't know anything about the other three.
HAWKMON
Group: Bird – Level: Rookie – Type:
Data – Attack Techniques: Hawk Beam/Feather
Strike/Beak Buzzsaw, Beak Pecking
Hawkmon Digivolves from Poromon, and is the Digimon
partner of Yolei of the DigiDestined. Speaking with
an upper class British accent, Hawkmon is a little snobbish, but
is always ready to lend a helping hand. His primary attack
involves him throwing the feather mounted on his headband, which
whirls like a circular saw – it has been called
“Beak Buzzsaw” (in “Old Reliable”),
“Hawk Beam” (in “Big Trouble in Little
Edo” – this is the name on Bandai’s
materials) and “Feather Strike” (in “Fusion
Confusion”).
As one of the three Digimon chosen by Azulongmon
and the other guardians of the DigiWorld,
Hawkmon has the power of Armour Digivolving, and
was sealed away with the Digi-Egg of Love to
await the coming of his human partner. When the Digimon
Emperor captured Davis and Veemon, Yolei and Cody
fled into the forest with Sora and Izzy.
Their Digivices began to pick up a signal, which
led them to a temple, where they found the Digi-Eggs of Love and Knowledge.
Sora and Izzy could not lift them, but when Yolei and Cody
touched them, they came up in their hands, and energy beams
gushed out from beneath them. From the energy beams leapt Hawkmon
and Armadillomon, who greeted their human
partner. With reassuring words from Sora in her ears, Yolei
activated the Digi-Egg of Love, following Hawkmon’s
instructions, and Hawkmon Armour Digivolved to Halsemon,
to help Digmon free Davis and Veemon. Then, when
everyone returned to Earth, Hawkmon reverted to his In-Training
form of Poromon.
When Poromon would return to the DigiWorld, he
would automatically Digivolve into Hawkmon. Hawkmon accompanied
Yolei on all the team's adventures, Armour Digivolving into
Halsemon when ever he was needed. On one occasion, he and Yolei
were separated from the others while searching for Mimi in
the Night Forest, and were saved from some Dark Ring-controlled
Gekomon and Otamamon. Hawkmon then became Halsemon
to help destroy the Control Spire in the area, so that Togemon
could take down the Roachmon brothers.
When the team met Michael, a friend of Mimi’s
and a DigiDestined from America, Yolei discovered the Digi-Egg
of Sincerity, and used it on Hawkmon to Armour Digivolve him
into Shurimon. Over time, Yolei seemed to favour using the
Sincerity egg over the Love egg, meaning Hawkmon became Shurimon
more often than he became Halsemon. Shortly after first becoming
Shurimon, Hawkmon clashed with Ninjamon in ShogunGekomon’s
village, and battled him as Shurimon, even after his Dark Ring
was removed.
When the location of the Digimon Emperor’s base was
discovered, and the kids planned to stay in the DigiWorld until
they could destroy it, Yolei went a little hyper, and the end
result was Hawkmon suffering injury at the hands of a Dokugumon.
Thanks to Kari and Gatomon’s ministrations, he
was quickly healed, and then helped in the final battles with the
Emperor and his creation, Kimeramon.
A little while after the Emperor was deposed, and the
DigiDestined were trying to rebuild damage done to the DigiWorld,
Hawkmon gained the ability to Digivolve to his Champion
form. When a Golemon attacked a dam, and threatened to
destroy it, the DigiDestined tried to stop him, but he was
relentless. Shurimon was the first to fall, but when Yolei was
able to be truthful with herself about her attitude towards Ken,
Hawkmon Digivolved into Aquilamon, and then helped Stingmon
destroy the Golemon, which Palmon had revealed was
actually an unliving construct created from a Control Spire.
Hawkmon was the first to Digivolve to Champion twice, when he did
so to help Raidramon battle an unliving Minotarumon
construct that was trying to demolish a bridge the kids had
rebuilt. He Digivolved again later in the day to fight an Okuwamon
construct, but was quickly taken down. While Paildramon
battled Okuwamon, Hawkmon and Armadillomon cleared the path for
the kids into the wreckage of the Emperor’s old base.
While searching for Gatomon’s lost tail ring, Hawkmon,
Yolei, Kari, Gatomon, Ken and Wormmon accidentally
stumbled into a phase warp which teleported them into the World
of Darkness. When they found their way out again, Hawkmon
Digivolved into Aquilamon, and then he and Gatomon DNA
Digivolved into Silphymon for the first time to
destroy an unliving Blossomon. After that, he reverted to
his Baby form of Pururumon.
During the following battles to stop BlackWarGreymon from
destroying the Destiny Stones, Hawkmon would either become
Shurimon, or become Aquilamon and then merge to form Silphymon to
battle him. When Digimon began to appear all over the world,
Hawkmon went with Yolei, Sora and Biyomon to Russia, where
they defeated a swarm of Flymon with help from Russia
DigiDestined Anna, Sonya and Yuri, and then
took down a herd of rampaging Mammothmon. He then returned
to Japan with everyone else to help battle the Daemon
Corps.
While in MaloMyotismon’s dream dimension, the
DigiDestined were subjected to illusions of their greatest
desires. Hawkmon and ExVeemon freed Yolei from her’s,
and then the kids used the power of the dimension to grant a wish
of their own, and the Digimon all split into their separate
Digivolutionary forms. Hawkmon, Halsemon, Shurimon, Aquilamon and
Silphymon joined with all the other Digimon to battle the
villain. When he fled to the DigiWorld, he was confronted with
the Digimon of all the world’s DigiDestined, his body was
destroyed by the power of their dreams, and his spirit was
obliterated by Imperialdramon’s Giga Crusher attack.
Three months later, Hawkmon watched the battle between Omnimon,
Armageddemon and Imperialdramon Paladin Mode,
but could do nothing to aid in the conflict.
Twenty-five years into the future, the portal to the DigiWorld
remains open, and Hawkmon is still at Yolei’s side. Yolei
and Ken married, and had three children – Hawkmon seems to help
Yolei out with her homemaking.
Hawkmon first appears in “The Digiteam
Complete.” His voice is supplied by Neil Kaplan,
except in "Revenge of Diaboromon,"
where, due to the minimal role
Hawkmon plays (he says only one word), Jeff Nimoy filled in for Kaplan.
Name: From the English word, “hawk,” a bird of prey.

HIDA
Know
members of the Hida
family include: Cody, his father, Hiroki, his mother
(unnamed), and his grandfather on his father’s side,
Chikara.
As a young boy, Cody’s father Hiroki was best friends with Yukio
Oikawa. Through Hiroki’s computer games system, they
were able to see into the DigiWorld, and apparently
communicate with it (it was later proven that Oikawa had a Digimon,
Datirimon, but it is not known if Hiroki had one –
but in either case, he was NOT one of the original five DigiDestined
children Gennai spoke of). However, Hiroki’s father
– Cody’s grandfather – decided they were spending
too much time “playing video games,” and put a stop to
it. However, Hiroki and Oikawa remained friends, never sharing
their secrets about the DigiWorld with anyone but themselves. As
the years passed, Hiroki got married, had a son, and joined the
police force. It still seemed, however, that he and Oikawa were
working on a project involving the DigiWorld together.
Regrettably, before that project’s completion, Hiroki was
killed in the line of duty when he took a bullet meant for an
important political figure.
His wife, Cody’s mother, then lived with Hiroki’s
father, continuing to care for Cody. All three of them were on
board the plane that was saved from crashing by Garudamon
and MegaKabuterimon in 1999. This was when Cody saw his
first Digimon – the event that would ultimately lead to his
becoming a DigiDestined.
The family lives in the same
apartment building as the Inoues and the Takaishis.
Cody’s grandfather is something of an eccentric – he
teaches Cody the Japanese martial art of Kendo, and is always on
hand to dispense wisdom. His universal cure for what ails you is
prune juice – no problem is too big for it, he reckons.
After Oikawa had implanted Dark Spores in multiple
children, Cody’s grandfather stumbled across Armadillomon
in their apartment, and discovered that Cody knew of the
DigiWorld. Cody was equally surprised to discover that his
grandfather and his own father knew of its existence. When BlackWarGreymon
confronted Oikawa, Cody’s grandfather attempted to break up
the fight, telling Oikawa that he was Hiroki’s father.
Oikawa seemed ready to relent, but the evil force inside of him
– Myotismon – pushed him onward, making him
attack Cody’s grandfather. BlackWarGreymon leapt in front of
him, taking the blast, sacrificing his life in the process.
Cody’s mother and grandfather were present with all the
other members of the kids families at the summer camp watching
the kids’ battle with MaloMyotismon in the DigiWorld.
Cody's grandfather first appears in "Old
Reliable." His voice is supplied by Dan Lorge.
Mrs. Hida's voice is first heard in "The Digiteam
Complete." She is first seen in "Family
Picnic," but it is only from behind. Her face is
first seen, and words are first seen to come out of her mouth, in
"20,000 Digi-Leagues Under the Sea."
Her voice is supplied by Mary Elizabeth McGlynn.

HIGHTON VIEW TERRACE
Highton View Terrace is an apartment building in Tokyo. Here, the
barriers between the real world and the DigiWorld
are weak, and a gate can be opened between the dimensions.
The first time this gate opened, a Digi-Egg was
sent into the real world via the Kamiya's
computer, to be found by Tai and Kari.
When the egg hatched, a Botamon emerged, and
eventually Digivolved into an Agumon.
The Agumon left Highton View Terrace with Kari to explore the
area, but then, while it was doing so, the gate opened again, and
Parrotmon emerged from it. The Agumon Digivolved
into a Greymon, and battled Parrotmon, damaging
Highton View Terrace in the process. It was originally thought
that the Greymon and Parrotmon destroyed each other, but it was
later discovered that they had been pulled back into the
DigiWorld. The kids, who had all witnessed this, repressed the
memory, and the media said it had been a terrorist bombing. Over
the years, the kids and their families all moved out of Highton
View Terrace.
Four years after this, when seven of the eight kids had been
sucked into the DigiWorld, the evil Digimon
lord, Myotismon, used the key cards to open the
gate to Earth, and he and his minions came through, emerging
through the Highton View Terrace gate. The kids followed, but
emerged through the other gate back at the summer camp, through
which they had left. They returned to Highton View Terrace, where
their memories of the battle between Greymon and Parrotmon
re-emerged. They realised that witnessing that battle must have
been instrumental in their being chosen to be the DigiDestined,
and hence they deduced that the Eighth Child, who Myotismon was
looking for, must have lived in Highton View Terrace and seen the
battle as well. Then, a Mammothmon attacked, but
Garudamon defeated it.
Four years later, when the evil Digimon known as the Daemon
Corps appeared on Earth, the human, Oikawa, and
his creations, Arukenimon and Mummymon,
headed for Highton View Terrace in their truck. Oikawa had
duplicated the Dark Spore within Ken
Ichijouji, and implanted it into various other kidnapped
children. At Highton View Terrace, while being pursued by Davis,
Raidramon and Wormmon, the
truck was halted by Daemon himself, who demanded Ken be handed
over. The DigiDestined struck back, and battle
ensued. The kids theorised that they could send Daemon back into
the DigiWorld, but he just laughed. Lifting his arms up, Daemon
opened the Highton View Terrace gateway of his own accord - he
could open digital gateways on his own, so sending him to the
DigiWorld would do nothing. Ken drew on the dark power within
him, and converted the Highton View Terrace gate into a gate to
the World of Darkness, through which Daemon was
sent. Oikawa told the kidnapped children to remember Highton View
Terrace, because one day, he would call them all back there.
Shortly, the DigiDestined Digimon in the DigiWorld tried to
secure the Highton View Terrace gate by sealing it with tiles.
When Oikawa, who had absorbed the energy from a Dark Spore's
flower, fatally injured BlackWarGreymon, the
dark Digimon used what remained of his strength to energise the
seal, shutting the Highton View Terrace gate with his dying act.
Not long after that, Oikawa recalled the children he had
implanted with Dark Spores to Highton View Terrace, where he used
his laptop to manipulate the key cards, planning to open the gate
to the DigiWorld. However, the gateway that opened led into a
bizarre, warped dimension, where it came to light that
Myotismon's spirit had been possessing Oikawa and controlling his
actions.
Chronologically speaking, Highton View Terrace first appears
in "Digimon: The Movie."
It first appears in the series in "Return to
Highton View Terrace." Its Japanese name is
"Hikarigaoka," which means "Hill of Light."
HIKARI KAMIYA
See Kari
HIROSHI
Hiroshi was among
the last of the children to be gathered by Arukenimon and Mummymon
as the DigiDestined were returning from their “world
tour,” and was the first child to step forward and be
implanted with a Dark Spore by Oikawa.
After the kids were rescued, the DigiDestined kept watch on them, but a group of them were turned away from Hiroshi’s house by his mother. He watched them leave through the blinds, and as the Dark Spore began to affect him, thought of them as insects that needed to be squashed.
Hiroshi wound up in the dream dimension with the other children, where his Dark Spore flowered and was absorbed by Myotismon, who became MaloMyotismon. To defeat him, the DigiDestined made the Dark Spore kids believe in their lost dreams again, and in doing so, they became DigiDestined themselves – Hiroshi, who’s dream was to draw comics, became partners with a Nyokimon.
Hiroshi first appears in “Digimon World Tour, Pt. 3.”
"HIS MASTER'S VOICE"
Digimon Adventure 02 episode #13
English version written by Craig Doyle
Kari is suffering from recurring nightmares, and gets
transported into the enigmatic World of Darkness by the
mysterious Scubamon. T.K., Gatomon and Patamon
follow her, and Gatomon Digivolves into Angewomon
to save her.
Episode Trivia - The title of this episode comes from the name of
the 1899 painting by Francis Barraud, which featuring
Barraud’s dog, Nipper, listening to a recording of his
masters voice of a phonograph, puzzled as to where the voice was
coming from.
HOGAN
Hogan
is Gennai’s Australian
counterpart. He appeared to help out Cody and Joe
when they were in Australia trying to round up all the wild
Digimon that had appeared there. He baffled them at first,
appearing dressed as Santa Claus, but quickly mobilised them,
along with Derek, one of the Australian DigiDestined.
Hogan appears in “Digimon World Tour, Pt.
2.” His voice is supplied by Neil Kaplan.
Name: In the original Japanese version, Hogan’s name was
“Eucalyptus.” This was changed for the American
version. It is thought that most of the counterparts are named
after people relevant to the countries they represent – as
such it is largely believed that Hogan is named for Paul Hogan,
the star of the famous Australian movie, “Crocodile
Dundee.”
"HOME AWAY FROM HOME"
Digimon Adventure episode #21
English version written by Dayna Barron and J.M. Morris
Tai returns
to the real world with Koromon,
and discovers that time moves much faster in the DigiWorld,
as it's still the same day that he left for camp. He learns that
his sister, Kari, somehow knows about
Digimon, and that Digimon travelling between dimensions are
causing the freak weather systems that plague Earth. After a
battle with Ogremon, Tai goes back to
the DigiWorld.
HOPE, DIGI-EGG OF
The Digi-Egg of Hope belongs to T.K. of
the DigiDestined, and is used on Patamon
to Armour Digivolve him into Pegasusmon.
When Flamedramon, Halsemon and Digmon were
battling a squad of the Digimon Emperor’s Tyrannomon,
T.K., Kari, and their Digimon (unable to Digivolve
due to Control Spires), fled the battle scene, and came
across a cave, in which they found the Digi-Eggs of Hope
and Light. They used them on Patamon and Gatomon,
who became Pegasusmon and Nefertimon, and quickly rounded
up the Tyrannomon. The Digi-Egg of Hope was then stored within
T.K.’s D-Terminal, to be called on whenever it was
needed to Armour Digivolve Patamon.
When the kids were in MaloMyotismon’s dream
dimension, that world’s magic allowed the Digimon to split
into all their forms at once. The Digi-Egg of Hope transformed
into Pegasusmon, who then faded away when the Digimon tried to
enter the DigiWorld.
The Digi-Egg of Hope first appears in “A New
Digitude.”
HOPE, CREST OF
The
Crest of Hope is the Crest of T.K.
of the DigiDestined. T.K. was the sixth of the
kids to find his Crest, in the pyramid of Etemon,
while the kids were in the process of trying to rescue Datamon.
When Tai went missing after the final battle
with Etemon, DemiDevimon tried to prevent TK's
Crest from glowing, but when Tai returned, his plans were halted.
It was not until the final battle with Piedmon
that TK's Crest actually glowed and allowed Angemon
to Digivolve to his Ultimate
stage of MagnaAngemon. The Crest of Hope, along
with the other kids Crests, was destroyed by Apocalymon.
The Crest of Hope first appears in "The
Prisoner of the Pyramid." It is destroyed
in "Now Apocalymon."
