Revision as of 03:03, 16 July 2014
Bokomon and Neemon are fictional characters and protagonists from the anime and manga Digimon Frontier.
Both Digimon are inseparable partners who reside in the Village of Flames. Bokomon is smart but prone to hysterics, while Neemon's dim-wittedness hides some measure of insight, and while the two get into arguments, neither ever leaves the other behind. Their interactions can be likened to Manzai, with Bokomon playing the tsukkomi or straight man and Neemon, the boke or funny man.
Appearance

He carries a green book that holds the legends of the Digital World. He speaks in Kansai dialect in Japanese version and a British accent in the American English dub.
Neemon resembles a rather skinny yellow rabbit creature with long pointed ears. He is slightly taller than Bokomon, has stubby arms and wears overlarge red pants, which are capable of being stretched for Bokomon's signature rubber snap. Neemon uses a slow voice in Japanese and high-pitched in American English that is emblematic of his status as dim-witted comic relief.
