Koichi Kimura

Koichi Kimura (木村　輝一 Kimura Kouichi), is a fictional character in the anime series Digimon Frontier.

Koichi is the final member to join the team. He was chosen to wield the Spirits of Darkness which hold AncientSphinxmon's power.

Description
He is Koji Minamoto's twin brother. Their parents divorced when they were very young, so they hardly knew about each other. His mother never told him about his brother and worked long hours despite the fact that she was sick. Koichi learned about Koji when his grandmother told him on her deathbed. Koichi didn't tell his mother he knew because he felt she had enough to worry about, so he went out to find Koji. He ran after Koji, who was on his way to the Digital World, to try and catch up with him but he fell down a flight of stairs and ended up in a coma as a result. His mind was taken into the Digital World by Cherubimon, who saw his sadness. He erased Koichi's memories and gave him the Human Spirit of Darkness to give him a semi-physical form as Duskmon until he was freed from Cherubimon's control. After this, he wielded the purified Spirits of Darkness and fought alongside his brother and the other DigiDestined.

Later on, Koichi began to realize that, in reality, his mind was not truly in the Digital World. On multiple occasions, the DigiDestined were seriously injured, revealing their Fractal Code. However, each time Koichi is far less hurt and reveals no Fractal Code. Crusadermon informed him that he was a spirit within the Digital World and this troubled him for  the rest of the season. Bokomon overhearded with Crusadermon said and, even though he promised Koichi that he wouldn't tell anyone, told the other digidestined about it. Ironically this did not include Koji, because at the time Koichi was talking to Koji and they were out of ear shot. As the final battles with Lucemon ensued, Koichi sacrificed himself to save the other DigiDestined, giving his spirits of darkness to his brother, Koji. The powers of light and darkness begin to react within Koji's body, helping trigger Koji and Takuya's final evolution into Susanoomon. In the final episode it is revealed by Lowemon that Koichi is still alive but is badly hurt. The other digidestined returned to the real world to find Koichi in a coma but their D-Tector's were able to bring him out of his coma.

Digimon Forms (Tainted)
As Duskmon, Koichi has no memory of his past until he almost killed Koji during their first two confrontations. Hearing Koji's name being said over and over gave Duskmon great pain. After this, Duskmon fought Koji in order to learn the connection between them. Cherubimon gave him his Beast Spirit to become Velgemon but Ophanimon restored Koichi's memories, freeing him from his Spirits' control, but not from the influence of Cherubimon. It was until Koji purified the defeated Duskmon that Koichi was free from Cherubimon's control.

Duskmon
One of Cherubimon's evil warriors, Duskmon can transform other Digimon's regret into dark energy. An expert swordsman with the blades he can extend from his forearms, the source of his power is sealed in his armor's three necks and seven eyeballs. He killed Arbormon after saying he was worthless without his beast spirit and then absorbed him.

Attacks
 * Deadly Gaze [Geist Abend (Ghost/Spirit Evening)]: Projects energy beams from his hands and the assorted eyeball-like protrusions over his body.
 * Lunar Plasma [Eroberung Angriff (Conquest Attack)]: He raises and lowers his swords forming a red moon and then rushes at his enemy, slicing them.



Velgemon
Called Velgmon in the Japanese version, Cherubimon gives Duskmon the Beast Spirit of Darkness and the ability to slide evolve to Velgemon in order to 'free' him from his humanity. From his appearance, he is called "The Devourer of the Dead". Duskmon hates changing into this form unless it is necessary.  He is so powerful that only a combination of Aldamon and Beowulfmon is powerful enough to stand up to him.  It's named after Hræsvelgr who guarded the Underworld in Norse mythology.

Attacks
 * Dark Obliteration [Zona Deletada (Zone Deleter)]: Using his wing, he draws a circle on the ground then a ball forms destroying anything in it.
 * Dark Vortex [Mestre das Trevas (Master of Darkness)]: Flying at maximum power, he fires a beam into the group trapping his enemy in another space-time.

Digimon Forms

 * Both of Koichi's spirits (along with J.P.) are temporarily transferred to Koji's Digivice when he evolves into MagnaGarurumon.
 * In the anime Koichi never directly spirit evolves to JagerLowemon. He only evolves to Löwemon and then slide evolves to JagerLöwemon.

Lowemon
Using the Human Spirit of Darkness, Koichi becomes Loewemon. Strongly holding the power of AncientSphinxmon, he wields the ancient Digimon's tail and head as his spear which is known as the Spear of Conviction and his Sphinx Guard Shield.

The name originates from the German word for "lion".

Attacks
 * Shadow Meteor [Endlich Meteor (Final Meteor)]: Löwemon gathers energy in the jaws of the lion head on his chest and releases a burst of energy.
 * Shadow Lance [Ewig Schlaf (Eternal Sleep)]: Löwemon raises his spear, spinning it and gathering momentum and then dashes forward, thrusting his spear forward.



JagerLowemon
The word Jäger as well as the word Kaiser have German origins. Jäger means hunter and Kaiser means Emperor.

Using the Beast Spirit of Darkness, Koichi becomes JagerLowemon. Koichi was the second person, aside from Zoe Orimoto, to be able to control their beast spirit without challenge. The reason Koichi was able to control his Beast Spirit so fast and easy was because of his desire to protect Koji.

Attacks
 * Ebony Blast [Schwarz Donner (Black Thunder)]: Releases a burst of dark energy as the pistons on his back recoil and can continue releasing bursts.
 * Dark Master [Schwarz König (Black King)]: Leaps forward as dark energy forms a giant burst of dark energy from his mouth, slicing cut through his enemy as he kills and absorbs data
