J. P. Shibayama

Junpei (J.P. in the English Dub) was the oldest of the Digidestned, chosen to wield the Spirits of Thunder that hold Anicent Beetmon's power. He was with a lot of other kids with bikes who were looking at their phones when he got his message. At first, Junpei was slightly jealous of Takuya Kanbara to start off with because he is trying to be the hero to Tomoki Himi, who idolized Takuya. Later on Junpei was jealous at Takuya, because Takuya could fusion evolve and he couldn't but Junpei was able to get over it. He also has feelings for Izumi Orimoto, though it's only one-sided.
