Cody Hida

Iori Hida (火田 伊織 Hida Iori), known as Cody Hida in the dub, is a character in the anime and manga Digimon Adventure 02.

He is partnered with Armadillomon. Despite being the youngest of the DigiDestined, he is the most serious. A lot of his wisdom comes from his grandfather, Chikara Hida, a retired police officer, who is also Iori's Kendo teacher. He was voiced by Megumi Urawa (Japan) & Philece Sampler (English).

Before Digimon Adventure
Not long before the events of Digimon Adventure occurred, Iori's father, Hiroki, died. Hiroki was a police officer and died on duty. Since then, he has lived with his mother, Fumiko, and grandfather, Chikara, who served as sort of a father figure to him.

Digimon Adventure
On August 3rd, 1999, Iori, his mother and his grandfather were in an airplane that was attacked by Kuwagamon and was saved by MegaKabuterimon and Garudamon. As a result, he was chosen to protect the Digital World in the future.

First half of Digimon Adventure 02
On April 2002, right in the beginning of the school year, Iori obtained his D3, Armdimon and the Digimental of Knowledge. A little later, he began to fear that he was letting the team down but his grandfather convinced him that all he has to do was try his hardest and that way, he wasn't letting anyone down. Later, Iori and the others were trapped in an offshore oil platform by an Evil Ringed MegaSeadramon and Iori had to use a submersible to get help from Jou. With some convincing from Jou, Iori managed to activate the newly-uncovered Digimental of Sincerity, allowing Armadimon to Armor Evolve to Submarimon to help bring MegaSeadramon to his senses.

In this out-of-canon adventure, Iori went to America with the other Chosen Children to help Takeru and Hikari after receiving a distress call from them. But on the way, they met Wallace, a Chosen Child from Colorado, whose rogue Digimon partner (Kokomon) was the cause of it.

Second half of Digimon Adventure 02
Even after Ken began to undo the damage he had done, Iori still couldn't forgive him. At one point, Ken even left the team to its own devices following Iori's stubbornness to accept him, which put the entire team at risk when BlackWarGreymon appeared. After Paildramon and Silphymon debuted, Iori realized that he and Takeru would have to have their Digimon Jogress Evolve. Takeru had been acting oddly violent and angry in terms of BlackWarGreymon, and Iori is troubled by this, as he felt that if he cannot understand Takeru, he isn't going to be able to bring Armadimon to Jogress with Takeru's Patamon. Finally, he understood the reasons for this when he talked to Yamato. Understanding Takeru's reasons was all Iori needed for Ankylomon and Angemon to Jogress Evolve. By December, Iori finally accepted Ken, shown when he accepts Ken's invitation to his Christmas party. On Christmas day, Iori, Jou and their Digimon went to Australia to help the Chosen of the Pacific round up the wild Digimon who had appeared on Earth as a result of Arukenimon opening all the Digital Gates. After he returned to Japan, he had to face a harsh reality check the next night, when MarineDevimon was about to destroy a hospital as he and Takeru helped a disabled girl get to safety. Shakkoumon's only option was to destroy MarineDevimon, shocking and upsetting Iori, who was forced to accept that.

Iori then encountered Yukio Oikawa, both learning their connection to Hiroki Hida. At the Other World, Cody was subjected to MaloMyotismon's illusion. His desire was to be with his father and show him the Digital World. Armadimon appeared to explain how the effect was not real and Flamedramon appeared to take him back to the other kids, who were in the process of breaking free of their illusions. Iori used the power of the dream dimension against MaloMyotismon, making his desire for justice come true, with Ankylomon, Submarimon, Digmon, and Shakkoumon appearing all at once. After MaloMyotismon was finally destroyed, Iori went back into the dream dimension to help the fallen Oikawa, dragging him to the edge of the portal to meet his Digimon partner, Pipimon. However, Oikawa, close to death, used the other world to fulfill a dream of his own. With that, Oikawa's body was deleted and the digital particles transformed into a host of butterflies, which spread across the Digital World, restoring peace and beauty to it.

When Pukumon entered the scene with a Dark Tower, Jou knocked into the 02 gang and Iori ended up with Miyako's D-Terminal, allowing Armadillomon to Armor Digivolve to Pteramon.

Digimon 02: Diaboromon Strikes Back
Four years after the events of 'Our War Game', the evil Diablomon resumed his reign of terror on the Internet. Iori was in Kendo practice when Koushiro contacted him to fill him in on the situation. Kuramon were bio-emerging via e-mail, so while Taichi, Yamato and their Digimon entered cyberspace to battle Diablomon once more, the others had to track down the Kuramon. Iori and Takeru found one on a soccer ball and caught it for Koushiro to examine. Iori couldn't do anything but watch helplessly as the Kuramon swarm assimilated into Armageddemon. But finally, it was Iori's notion for everyone to use their Digivices and cell phones to capture the Kuramon that saved the day.

Iori and others helped Daisuke from inside the monster by recreating the Digimental of Miracles. With the monster destroyed, Daisuke and his friends returned to their continuity.
