Fan:Sora Takenouchi

This article details the relationships between Sora Takenouchi and her fellow DigiDestined of Digimon Adventure/Digimon Adventure 02.

Taichi "Tai" Kamiya
Tai and Sora are both good friends over the course of the first season, usually working together to help the other DigiDestined in times of need. They are the ones who know each other the best, and thus Sora is more acquainted with Tai.

Sora clearly values Tai's opinions. In the second part of Digimon: The Movie, Sora is quite disappointed to receive only a hair clip from Tai for her birthday. She feels that Tai did not like her hat or hair, and was perhaps suggesting so. During this part of the film, she is seen looking at her hair, or holding the hair clip grudgingly in her hand, thinking to herself. It is implied that Tai had said something rather insensitive about her. However, Tai makes up when he sends an apologetic email, and Sora ends up wearing the hairclip.

When Sora is nervous about making her first confession to Matt, she initially is unable to do it, but eventually finds herself more confident after persuasion from Tai.

Yamato "Matt" Ishida
Sora and Matt build a mature relationship over Adventure, and come to treat each other like adults.

In 02 Sora develops feelings for Matt and confesses to him in the Christmas episode of the Japanese version (U.S. version showed it off as if she wanted to see him after the concert, never confessing anything)

During Michi e no Armor Shinka, Matt confesses that he loves Sora and while she accepts it, she wonders why he is tap dancing (to distract Boltmon). The 02 ending, as well as information from Toei, reveals that the two eventually married with two children.

Koushiro "Izzy" Izumi
Sora is one of the first people to acknowledge Izzy's hobby and skills rather than make fun of him, and encourages him to use his talents.

Mimi Tachikawa
She sees Mimi as her friend, and helps advise her at times (such as during the ShogunGekomon incident). Their friendship evolves over time and they are seen as bestfriends relaying on each other.

Joe Kido
Sora respects Joe as an uperclassman and gives him the respect she believes he deserves, something evident during the Devimon arc as she tries to make him leader not only to cheer him up (emphasized in the English dub) but also because he is older than her and in a higher grade, which is emphasized in Japan (implied in the original Japanese).

Takeru "T.K." Takaishi
If Tai or Matt is the paternal or older-brotherly figure, Sora is the maternal or older-sisterly figure. In Adventure, Sora tries to nurture T.K. and gives him the care and affection he needs, especially when Tai or Matt is not around. However, she is willing to give the responsibility when she feels T.K. would be in better hands. Ultimately Sora minds for T.K.'s well-being, demonstrating so when she warns Agumon about the memory-loss mushrooms, indirectly leading to T.K. being saved from what DemiDevimon is planning. She does, however, see potential in T.K. for taking charge, such as during the Piedmon incident when she preferred to hold Piedmon off and sacrifice herself rather than slow T.K. down.

In 02, Sora lets T.K. take responsibility for himself, although she still provides advice.

Hikari "Kari" Kamiya
In Adventure, while Sora still cares for Kari in a similar way to how she does so for T.K., it is not to the same degree because she sees Kari as more strong-willed and balanced. However, she also knows that Kari has weaknesses, hence why she charges T.K. with the responsibility of protecting her during the Piedmon incident. In doing so she also recognizes how valuable Kari is to the team.

Sora continues to support Kari in 02, helping Kari provide the same motherly role Sora was forced to provide in Adventure.

Davis Motomiya
Sora laughs at Davis's antics and comments that he is much like Tai; she easily accepts Davis as the leader of the new DigiDestined and is always ready to provide advice.

Yolei Inoue
Along with Mimi, Sora helps develop Yolei's more feminine traits and give her important advice on how to be a DigiDestined. Sora also seems to attempt to be a good role model for Yolei.

Cody Hida
Sora respects Cody's opinions and does what she can to help Cody work with the others in his steadfast nature.

Ken Ichijouji
While initially harsh on Ken due to his past as the Digimon Emperor, Sora warms up to Ken and assists him in getting over his scars.
