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. He was voiced by Yuuto Kazama (Japan) & Michael Reisz (US).

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.
