Fan:Genki Kurata

Genki Kurata (formerly Karada) is the Chosen Child/Digidestined of Loyalty in the Digimon Adventure SIDE TREK series, and the rebooted Digimon Adventure REMIX+GAIDEN. He is in the fifth grade during the time of Adventure and has stopped going to school due to being stuck in the Digital World until the events Adventure 02. His Digimon partner is Kenmon, a data attibute canine digimon.

Intersection with Canon
Genki is a unique character within the Remix continuity because he serves as an anchor to the canon -- he is a Japanese native, witnessed the Greymon Incident at Heighton View Terrace, and is, for all itents and purposes, considered to be a Japanese Chosen Child alongside Taichi and the others, even though he entered the Digital World from Carpenter's Lake in Bozeman, Montana, USA with Ben Cohen and Kim Bates.

In addition to this, his counterpart plays an important role in the Remix+Gaiden author's plans for Digimon Data Squad fiction.

Before the Series
Genki grew up at Heighton View Terrace in Tokyo, Japan, and witnessed the battle between Greymon and Parrotmon. At this time he was selected as a backup Chosen Child and paired with the Crest of Loyalty for his commitment to seeing things through. Much like the other chosen children, his parents also moved after the incident, and to the same area -- the Kuratas live in the same apartment complex as the Yagamis, though they are in a different building.

By the same token, Genki is a student at Odaiba Elementary School, and a member of the Caming Club, but he was taken by his parents on a holiday to America at the time the series begins. His father's business contact, Peter Cohen, paid to send Genki to an American summer camp with his son Ben.

During the Series
Genki and the Bozeman kids travel on File Island, and the File Archipelago, during the events of the Devimon storyline. Where the main cast traveled on the west side of the island, visiting Miharashi Mountain, the Factorial City and Toy Town before turning to Infinity Mountain, Genki's smaller group traveled north and east from Beetle Land -- the two groups nearly crossed paths within the Roadsign Forest, glimpsing each other but not interacting -- and visiting the Drill Tunnel, the File Ruins, and traversing the labyrinthine Native Forest before reaching Coela Point, where they see the ruined phone booths, and are taken across the bay and to the Native Jungle by Coelamon. Turning back at the eastern cliffs, they make their way to the Overdell Graveyard before the island is split apart -- and they're separated too.

This is when the teams first meet each other -- Genki meeting Jyou (and replacing Sora) in the Overdell Graveyard, Kim meeting Takeru at Primary Village, and Ben meeting Sora in the Geko Swamp. All eleven children meet up and defeat Devimon, then make for Folder Continent on a raft, despite Gennai's complete shock and mystified reaction to the extra children.
