Hikari 'Kari' Kamiya

Hikari is usually called "Kari" in the English versions... Hikari means light in Japanese and she bears the Crest of Light and the Digi-egg of Light... She is partnered to Gatomon and she is the younger sister of Taichi "Tai" Kamiya... Kari, by nature, is kind and sweet-hearted, always looking for the best in people, and avoids fighting them when possible. She can be serious, especially in drastic situations... She bears the Crest of Light and her representative color is pink... Her elemental affinity is light... When the original seven DigiDestined entered the Digital World from summer camp, Kari was left behind, as she had been at home with the flu... She did not see any of the other DigiDestined... However, she was reunited with Tai when he was sucked into a dimensional warp following his successful victory over Etemon... Tai would later reunite with Kari again when he and the other DigiDestined entered the Real World to pursue Myotismon... Myotismon was seeking the eighth DigiDestined child... The other seven DigiDestined and Myotismon were specifically seeking the eighth Digivice... Gatomon, one of Myotismon's henchmen, was the first to realize that Kari was the eighth DigiDestined...
Wizardmon was the first one to find the eighth Digivice. He also realized that Gatomon and Kari were partners, and Gatomon remembered that she was looking for someone - looking for Kari. Wizardmon gave Kari her Crest of Light... However, when Myotismon discovered that Gatomon was the eight DigiDestined's partner, he held her captive to try to find the eighth DigiDestined. Kari turned herself in to stop the pain his minions were inflicting. Myotismon attempted to end the battle by using Grisly Wing on Kari, but Wizardmon stepped in and took the blow for her then Gatomon Digivolved into Angewomon... All the other digimon give their power into one of Angewomon's attacks, Heaven's Charm. Then, she uses the power to send an arrow through the heart of Myotismon... Kari accompanies the seven other DigiDestined when they go back to the Digital World. During this time, an odd spirit speaks and acts through Kari's body at various times; Kari appears to be the only person who can communicate with this spirit...

Kari grew a lot during the three years between Adventure 02 and Adventure, becoming more mature and less sickly... She became perkier and braver... In place of her whistle, she now has a digital camera around her neck, and has taken up photography as her main hobby... She is much slyer in this season... She has quite a liking for playing practical jokes and teasing her friends... Because Davis has a crush on her, Kari often teases him by flirting with T.K. Kari always felt safe around T.K., as he knows how she feels... He sensed her feelings for the Dark Ocean. She shares a special bond with T.K., who was a DigiDestined with her before, and they know better than the rest the dangers of the Digital World...While searching for Gatomon’s lost power ring, Kari, Yolei and Ken ended up in the Dark World. Upon finding the Dark Ocean, Kari began to lose her composure due to her last visit. She and Ken struggled under the hold of the Dark Ocean; this event was taken advantage of by a Blossomon. It took Yolei's slap and words to make the two girls see eye-to-eye. This gave Aquilamon and Gatomon the power to DNA Digivolve to Silphymon; it also gave Kari the heart to help Ken.... During Christmas, Kari, Izzy, and their Digimon were sent to Hong Kong to help the Asian DigiDestined, where all three of the Poi Brothers (Chinese Digi-Destined) developed a crush on her... After sending all of the Digimon back to their world and destroying all the Control Spires, she and the other DigiDestined faced the threat of Yukio Oikawa. He kidnapped Ken and planted Dark Spores into other children. Kari and the other DigiDestined did not realize that he was being controlled by the disembodied spirit of Myotismon... After harvesting the Dark Spores, Myotismon emerged from Oikawa, becoming MaloMyotismon... After some fighting, MaloMyotismon created a world of illusions; each DigiDestined was subjected to their true desires and wants... Kari's desire was for humans and Digimon to live side by side, making it a better world for everyone... Gatomon and Raidramon broke her free of the illusion... She then joined with the other kids, who were in the process of breaking free of their illusions... Kari used the power of the dream dimension and wished for Gatomon to become stronger; she split into Angewomon and Nefertimon and DNA Digivolved with Aquilamon to become Silphymon, all three forms appearing at the same time... After the fighting stopped, Kari saw one of her dreams come true... The Digital and Real Worlds both lived in peace together...

Kari became a kindergarten teacher and has a son (who has a Salamon as partner)...
