Monzaemon


 * This article is about the Digimon, from the fictional anime series. For the Japanese playwright, see Chikamatsu Monzaemon.

Monzaemon is an Ultimate Level Puppet Digimon that likes to play with children. In the first American release of the Digimon virtual pets, he was known as Tedimon/Teddymon. If a virus affects him, he becomes WaruMonzaemon. Monzaemon is also the only Digimon whose name is written in Hiragana (except for the -mon suffix, which is written in Katakana); all other Digimon names are completely written in Katakana. He is named after Chikamatsu Monzaemon. Monzaemon was originally named Teddymon when the Digimon franchise was initiated by the electronic Tomagochi toys.
