Yamato Ishida

Yamato Ishida (&#30707;&#30000; &#12516;&#12510;&#12488; Ishida Yamato) is a character in the anime and manga Digimon. In the English version, he has the nickname "Matt".

Matt is a secretive loner who has the Digimon, Gabumon. His younger brother is Takeru "T.K." Takaishi whom he cares for very much. In the English-language adaptation, the two were half-brothers instead of full brothers. Matt's parents are divorced and he and his father moved to Odaiba, where his father works at the Fuji TV Network, Inc. building. He is the bearer of the Crest of Friendship.

Prelude to Digimon Adventure
He witnessed the Greymon/Parrotmon fight.

Between Digimon Adventure & Digimon 02
In May 2000, Matt arrived in the Digital World and gave up his Crest power to free the Sovereigns. As a result, Gabumon lost the power to become WereGarurumon and MetalGarurumon.

Digimon 02
Matt became the vocalist and bass player for a rock band, the Teenage Wolves. He was very popular and girls were always running up to him wanting his autograph. One of his biggest fans was the older sister of Davis, June Motomiya. Some liked this comical relief for this series. But near the finale, Matt developed a relationship with Sora.

Digimon 02: Michi E No Armor Shinka
During a plan to distract Boltmon via tap-dancing, Matt finally declared his feelings for Sora.

Digimon 02: Diaboromon Strikes Back
Matt pretty much helped Tai defeat Diaboromon/Armageddemon, with Gabumon helping as Omnimon. Matt appeared to like dressing gothicly. However he was still good friends with Tai and the rest of the DigiDestined. There was a picture of him and Sora when they were still dating but, apparently, they had a little spat. However, as a joke in the movie, he annoyed Tai when he told Izzy she was at her Tennis Club meet by saying, "Can't you remember your own girlfriend's appointments?"

Digimon 02: Series Finale Epilogue
By the year 2027, Matt is an astronaut married to Sora with 2 children. He and Gabumon have become the first man and Digimon on Mars.
