Mikey Kudo

Taiki Kudou (工藤タイキ) is a character in the Digimon Xros Wars series. Taiki is described in V-Jump magazine as "a hot-blooded 7th grader who saves the weak." He was chosen to lead an army in Digital World, with partner Shoutmon. Dorurumon, Starmon, Varistormon and a unnamed pink-bunny Digimon also accompany him, with Taiki's childhood friend Akari Hinomoto and "eternal rival" and classmate Zenjirou Tsurugi completing the roster.

Taiki possesses a Xros Loader Digivice, which allows Shoutmon to "Digi-Xros", a new Digivolution mechanic where various Digimon can fuse together. One of the resulting Digimon is Shoutmon X4, which is made up of Shoutmon Digi-xrossing with Dorurumon, Starmon and Varistormon.

Like most lead Tamers, Taiki wears goggles.
