J. P. Shibayama

In the anime series Digimon Frontier, J.P. (Junpei in the Japanese version) is the oldest of the DigiDestined, chosen to wield the Spirits of Thunder that hold AncientBeetmon's power. At first, J.P. is slightly jealous of Takuya because he wishes to be Tommy's hero and Tommy idolizes Takuya. Later on, he becomes jealous of Takuya's ability to fusion evolve. But, eventually, J.P. overcomes his jealousies. He also has feelings for Zoe, though they are not returned.
