Tatsuya Munemori Munemori Tatsuya (宗盛 達也) is a fanfictional character in the Digimon Cinematic Sagas. He is the main human protagonist in the Legendary Tamers Saga.

Description
Tatsuya was born in 2007 to Kaito and Yukari Munemori. He has lived in Tokyo and is a big fan of games of the Digimon who became a target of merchandising by several businessman after the Digitaclysm. Tatsuya had been wishing to visit other countries for his whole life and also wished to become a member of the new generation of DigiDestined, but was afraid of his parents possible reactions to such thing.

Tatsuya is an active user of Facebook and is skilled in English language enough to make friends even outside of his home country, including Jason Storm. After he as offered as a chance to go as an exchange student into New York, he immediately took it in order to meet Jason in person and travel overseas for the first time.

Digimon: Age of Tamers
During the night before his departure to go as an exchange student to New York, Tatsuya saw a dream of a girl and a Digimon named Renamon fighting against Lynxmon near a building that was on fire. On next day, he saw a mysterious light during his flight to New York, but no one else saw it. On the house of Jason Storm and his family, Tatsuya found a red device that looked like an unknown type of Digivice, later revealed as D-Ark.

After his first school day and meeting Kyle Lambert and Mei Yashida for the first time, he went with Jason and Kyle to show the device to a game shop owner named Steve who had no idea what the device was. But then, a cloud of fog that allowed the Digimon to Bio-Emerge sent a red Rookie Level Digimon named Guilmon into the real world. Tatsuya, Jason and Kyle also witnessed a Bio-Emergence of Gorillamon, during which they two other Tamers: Vera Neidhardt (who was the same girl from Tatsuya's dream) and Andrew "Andy" Conteh. While Vera and Renamon wanted to destroy Guilmon, like every other Digimon, Andy and his partner Terriermon tried to defend them. But Terriermon accidentally Digivolved into Galgomon and lost control if its powers, until Tatsuya and Guilmon were able to stop him.

During the evening and the next day, Tatsuya and his new friends were wondering about the meaning of his dream. They also met a small Digimon named Calumon were once again challenged by Vera and Renamon. They were later interrupted by the men from W.N.D.D. (Worldwide Netowrk of the DigiDestined) led by Harold Thompson. Thompson was a friend of Julius Conteh, Andy's father, and explained that the Tamers and the Bio-Emerged Digimon were played all along by an organization named Digital Revolution that sought to take over the Digital World to be used for the evolution of the mankind. Calumon was revealed a catalyst for the power of Digivolution and Vera's father Ian Neidhardt was revealed to be the leader of the Revolution.

When the Revolutionaries opened a Digi-Gate to bring several Digimon into the real world to be brainswashed, Tatsuya and Guilmon participated into the battle. Tatsuya quickly learned to use his Digimon trading card game cards to boost Guilmon's abilities and they defeated a brainwashed FlareLizarmon. But then Ian's attempts to bring even more Digimon mutated him into D.H.M. and three Ultimate Level Digimon Bio-Emerged. Tatsuya knew that he needed to make Guilmon Digivolve, but was afraid that things would go bad like in Terriermon's case. After letting go of his fear, he helped Guilmon to Digivolve into Growlmon by using a card "Digivolution Plug-In S" which was imbued with Calumon's power. Tatsuya and Growlmon helped Thompson and Reppamon (Champion form of Kudamon, Thompson's partner) to defeat a brainwashed Kumbhiramon, and after that Tatsuya and the other Tamers defeated D.H.M.

After the battle, Tatsuya was not recruited into the W.N.D.D. like the governments normally would insist, but made merely a consultant like the other Tamers. Keeping Guilmon and the other Partner Digimon hidden in an abandoned building in New York, Tatsuya, Andy and Vera occasionally visited the place and trained for future battles.

Trivia

His sense of justice is also strong and his crush on Mei Yashida is inspired by Takato's crush on Jeri Katou.
 * When the Cinematic Sagas counterpart for a Tamer partnered with Guilmon was planned for the film series, Tatsuya's first name was initially chosen as the official name for the character.
