Ikuto is a fictional character in the series Digimon Savers and the partner of Falcomon. He is the fourth main character to be introduced, and the sixth character to appear with a Digimon.

As opposed to the members of DATS, Masaru, Yoshino, and Tohma, he does not live in the human world, nor does he have a particular liking for it, as he was raised by Mercurimon. He believes in defending the peace of the Digital World, and also believes that humans are nothing but a threat to it. Despite his young age, Ikuto has great fighting skill (many of his moves mirror the ninja-like aspects of Falcomon). He wields a boomerang, and wears a cape and a necklace adorned with feathers, and also has facepaint.

Though his exact origins are unclear (and are likely yet to be revealed), Ikuto was somehow left in the digital world. He was protected by Falcomon and a Frigimon, and often took ill. At one point, Frigimon went to find medicine left behind by humans that had been in the digital world, and never returned. This event is crucial to Ikuto's hatred of the rest of humanity.

Ikuto first appeared in the series' fourteenth episode, where he attacked the members of DATS as they emerged into the Digital World. His initial attack destroyed the equipment they had brought with them, effectively stranding them in the Digital World. To their surprise, he revealed that he had a Digivice, which he then used to help Falcomon digivolve into Peckmon. The two overwhelmed GeoGreymon, Gaogamon, and Sunflowmon, until their battle was interrupted by an angry Cherrymon, who was enraged by the fact that their battle was endangering the Nyokimon he was protecting. When Gotsumon, one of Mercurimon's servants, began to rain massive rocks down on the area, Ikuto and Peckmon fled.

They would later watch as the DATS members battled MetalPhantomon, but after he was defeated, they intervened personally. Ikuto intended to attack Yoshino, who had fallen ill, and contracted her virus as well. Falcomon forged an uneasy alliance with Tohma and Masaru to retrieve a vaccine, and saved his partner. The two would later depart on their own.

Ikuto is sure to play a further role in the series as events and mysteries unfold, many of which certainly revolve around him.
