Digimon 02, first half
He takes over the position as team leader from Taichi "Tai" Kamiya (Taichi Yagami in Japan), receving his idol's goggles. Although he often rushes into things and makes mistakes, his courage in the face of outstanding odds cannot be denied. No matter how dire the situation, he always believed that they would somehow make it through. There is certainly no one more suited to the Digimental of Courage than Daisuke. Early on he claims not to know what friendship is, but his later actions prove that he is truly the one worthy of the Digimental of Friendship.

Davis is always getting in trouble about his intense jealousy towards anyone he sees as a rival for Hikari "Kari" Kamiya's affections, not the least of whom is Takeru "T.K." Takaishi, despite the fact he and Kari are just good friends. A little later, Davis is playing in a soccer match against the famous Ken Ichijouji, and wounds up injuring him. At the Digital World, Digimon Emperor then had Davis degrade, threatening to feed the DigiDestined to Deltamon - but in a scuffle, Davis saw a familiar cut on the Emperor's leg and was the first to learned the truth about Ken.

During the final battle with the Digimon Emperor. Daisuke attempted to locate the engine room, and was led there by Wormmon who was equally determined to save Ken from himself. Davis discovered that the base's power source is the Digimental of Miracles, which he used to Armour Digivolve Veemon into Magnamon. Magnamon then defeated Kimeramon, and Davis (with the others) made Ken realise that Digimon were real, living things, not just computer data.

Digimon 02: Hurricane Touchdown/Golden Armor Evolution
Gaining a distress message from Hikari, Daisuke goes to the United States with the other DigiDestined to help her and Takeru. But on the way, he meet Wallace, a DigiDestined from Colorado, whose rogue Digimon partner (Kokomon) is the cause of it. During the battle with Cherubimon, Daisuke used the Digimental of Miracles, temporary recreated by Seraphimon and Magnadramon, so Magnamon can help Rapidmon defeat Cherubimon and end Kokomon's pain.

Digimon 02, 2nd half
Davis was the first of the new kids to have his partner digivolve natrually and befriend Ken Ichijouji. Through hard work he was able to convince the others to forgive Ken, although Iori took awhile and almost put the team in danger from Black War Greymon because of it. On Christmas day, Davis goes to New York City to help Mimi Tachikawa, Michael, and the other American DigiDestined to battle a Cherrymon in the Rockefeller Center.

Davis's moment to shine was in the final battle with MaloMyotismon. While the other children were caught in their dreamworlds, unable to let go of their desires, Davis seemed to had remained untouched. Instead he went to each of his friends and helped bring them back to reality. Even then they were not sure whether they could win or not, and were too afraid to try. But Davis, ever optimistic, encouraged them to give it a shot. When MaloMyotismon was curious to know how Daisuke cornered his illusion, the boy revealed he didn't as he has only one desire at the moment: To destroy MaloMyotismon. Daisuke even cut off MaloMyotismon's power source when he told the Dark Spore kids about his dream to own a Ramen restuarant.

Digimon 02: Michi E No Armor Shinka
In an attempt to get some chocolate from the girls, Daisuke tried to change his image to one the girls adore. He first tried to impersonate Yamato Ishida, but he wasn't good at playing bass. Then posed as Koushiro Izumi, but his way of 'fixing' computers annoyed Koushiro. Daisuke eventually decided to use Ken's Digimon Emperor persona, as girls seem to like the bad boy look. Problem was, as the girls' Digimon had it, Daisuke was all talk so Veemon yells him to take extreme measure to be super-bad. It took Ken's convincing and the power Puttimon to stop Daisuke from reluctantly beating up Veemon to get into character. When Pukumon enter the scene with a Control Spire,(Jou Kido knocked into the 02 gang & Daisuke ended up with Takeru's D-Terminal, allowing Veemon to armour digivolve to Saggitarimon. Despite learning an important lesson from the ordeal, he still envies the fact he has no girls going ga-ga over him.

Digimon 02: Diaboromon's Counterattack
Four years after the events of Our War Game, the evil Diaborromon resumes his reign of terror on the super information super highway. Daisuke was on his way to soccer practise when Koushiro contacts him to fill him in on the situation, but on the way, he met some kids who confused him with talk of jellyfish, not knowing the the Kuramon were bio-emerging via e-mail, so while Taichi Yagami, Yamato Ishida & their Digimon enter cyberspace to battle Diaboromon once more, the others had to track down the Kuramon. But Daisuke learned that Hikari, Takeru and their Digimon had gone to help their big brothers & Omnimon, he demanded that he should go as well. However, his urge to get in was all part of Diaboromon's revenge plan - as the entire Kuramon swarm emerged from the gate before heading to Tokyo Harbour to assimulate into Armageddemon. After Imperial Dramon managed to destroy the monster and the Digidestined used their Digivices - spectators' cell phones - to capture the Kuramon, Daisuke remarked how tired he was.

Daisuke heads to New York to visit Mimi & Wallace (Willis). But end up in a strange dimension, which resembles New York City at winter time.

But when Na-Chan turned out to be a Digimon, she is forced by the 'fireflies' to transform into a large roaring creature. The others try to stop Daisuke from going to her, but Daisuke says that she was just lonely and wants a partner. But Na-Chan destroys herself to protect him. Daisuke was a bit saddened, but DemiVeemon gives healthy reminder that he's Daisuke's partner as they find her Digiegg.
