Kari Kamiya

Kari is the best and gatomon too

In 2027 (25 years later) Kari became a kindergarten teacher that actually likes being in school and has a son, who has a Salamon as a digimon partner, and also seemingly inherited his mother's whistle. Kari’s husband is not mentioned.

Digimon Adventure V-Tamer 01
During one of her battles as a child, she and the other Adventure 02 DigiDestined encountered Parallelmon, who absorbed her, T.K., Yolei, and Cody, and inadvertently sent Davis into the "V-Tamer 01" world, where he met the Tai of that series. Kari and the others helped Davis from inside the monster by recreating the Digi-Egg of Miracles. With the monster destroyed, Davis and his friends returned to their continuity.

Trivia

 * Kari and Tai's English dub surname is a mistranslation of the original name "Yagami".
 * Hikari has three Japanese image songs, Holy Light, Yasashii Ame (lit. "Gentle Rain") and "Reflection" as well as a fourth one sung with Tailmon (Yuka Tokumitsu) called Shining Star.
 * Kari's Japanese name "Hikari" means "light", an unique parallel with her crest's name. Also, her original full name "Hikari Yagami" translates to "light of the 8 gods", a possible reference to the number of the DigiDestined in the first season.
 * In the English dub, Lara Jill Miller goes on to voice Takato Matsuki's teacher, Ms Nami Asaji; this is a possible reference to Kari becoming a teacher.
 * Kari's Digimon is one of very few in the Digimon continuity to be able to digivolve into a female only Mega.
 * She and Tai are the only Digidestined to have a pet (a cat named Miko).
 * In the English dub of Digimon Tamers, episode 3, To Fight or not to Fight, a teenager quotes that Rika "looks like Kari with a punk edge."
 * Kari's parents, Susumu (father) and Yuuko (mother), have the same names as their Japanese voice actors: Susumu Chiba voices Susumu Kamiya; Yuuko Mizutani voices Yuuko Kamiya.
