Kyo 'Yolei' Inoue

Yolei is partnered to Hawkmon and as such is the first central DigiDestined to be partnered with an opposite sex Digimon, as Hawkmon is male... Yolei is a touch on the geeky side, stubborn, cheeky and impulsive... While she is somewhat loud and bold, she is very sincere and true to her feelings to the point where she is often unaware of others or how her feelings are affecting them... Yolei is compassionate and generous, but capable of being decisive and resourceful... She has odd tendencies to suddenly become depressed without explanation, but always finds the strength to come back and help her friends... Yolei's most notable skill is her technical prowess; she can fix anything from a toaster oven to a computer... She helps her family in the Ai-Mart, a convenience store just below the apartment building she, Cody Hida (Iori Hida in Japan) and T.K. Takaishi (Takeru Takaishi in Japan) live in... She works in it often and takes food from it to supply the group and their ever-hungry Digimon with... She has a crush on Ken Ichijouji and idolizes Mimi Tachikawa and Koushiro Izumi... She is apparently the youngest of four siblings: she has two sisters (high school-aged Momoe, junior high-aged Chizuru) and a brother (college-bound Mantarou)... Yolei's international name was originally supposed to be "Kyo", an alternate romanization of "Miyako." However, the producers changed her name into "Yolei" by taking the "yo" out of "Kyo" and attaching it with the "lei" from Terri Lei O'Malley's name...

She obtained her D-3, Hawkmon and the Digi-Egg of Love on her first week of her final year in Odaiba Elementary... On Golden Weekend, the main characters got a surprise visit from Mimi whom Yolei got along with well... Yolei was shocked to learn that Ken was the Digimon Emperor. Later, when a Dark Spiraled Digitamamon attacked Mimi, Yolei lost her composure and began screaming at him... This outburst resulted in the manifestation of the Digi-Egg of Sincerity, which Yolei used to Armor Digivolve Hawkmon to Shurimon, who freed Digitamamon from the Spiral... When the location of the Digimon Emperor’s base was discovered, the DigiDestined decided that they would have to stay in the Digital World until it was destroyed... Yolei covered up the fact that she was nervous with some ridiculously over-the-top eagerness, barking orders and rushing around, even managing to scale a Control Spire... When her over-eagerness lead to Hawkmon getting poisoned by Dokugumon, Yolei felt guilty about it... Hawkmon was alright about it as he preferred Yolei as she is...


Davis thought it was a good idea to ask Ken to join their group... Yolei did not agree since she had seen Stingmon kill Thundermon at Ken’s command... However, when Mimi called on the new kids to help battle a Golemon, Yolei was forced to confront her feelings about Ken, which led to her accepting him... While searching for Gatomon’s lost power ring, she, Ken and Kari ended up in the Dark World... Upon finding the Dark Ocean, Kari lost her composure due to her last visit... This event was taken advantage of by Blossomon... It took Yolei's slap and harsh words to make the two girls see eye-to-eye, causing them to give their Digimon the power to DNA Digivolve... At Christmas, Yolei, Sora and their Digimon were sent to Russia but they had no translator to help them cross the language barrier with the Russian DigiDestined... Yolei's attempts at charades eventually succeeded when she used the names of Russian foods to co-ordinate their attacks on the Flymon above the city... After going home, Yolei witnessed LadyDevimon's death by Silphymon, much to her horror... Yolei accepted it as they saved the current victims and any future victims of the sadistic Digimon... At the Other World, Yolei was subjected to MaloMyotismon's illusion. Her desires were to be an only child and getting to eat lots of cake... Hawkmon and ExVeemon broke her free of the illusion and she then joined with the other kids, who were in the process of breaking free of their illusions... Yolei used the power of the dream dimension against MaloMyotismon with Aquillamon, Shurimon, Halsemon and Silphymon appearing all at once...


By the year 2027, Yolei marries Ken... She has a pre-teen daughter, a son around 10 years old and a baby who is a boy with a Leafmon... Yolei's children will have a Hawkmon and a Wormmon once their Digimon (a Poromon and a Minomon) Digivolve... Yolei is a house wife...
