Digimon Trio

[MattEmily]

Here's some additional info on Digimon Trio including a brief summary and character profiles. The next post in this thread will have this same info but I'll just edit it so that it'll reflect the U.S. dub names.

"Saikai" (Reunion), the first of the upcoming six-chapter series Digimon Adventure tri. is scheduled for a December 18 release, four weeks after its limited theatrical release in Japan on November 21. The site for this project, celebrating the 15th anniversary of the Digimon Adventure anime, has been updated with new story and character information, accompanied by plans for the release of its themes and insert song.

Singles for Kouji Wada's "Butter-Fly," Ayumi Miyazaki's "Brave Heart" and AiM's "I Wish" will be released November 25th.

Digimon Adventure tri. Chapter 1, “Reunion”

It’s been 6 years since Yagami Taichi and the Chosen Children went to the other world, the Digital World, in that summer adventure,
and 3 years since Yagami Hikari and the others’ last battle against BelialVamdemon.
As peaceful days continue, the gate to the Digital World closes at one point. Time passes without even the Chosen Children knowing why it has closed…
Then, one day, a Kuwagamon suddenly appears in Odaiba. The town is destroyed and people flee in panic from its rampage. Taichi, who happens to see the Kuwagamon by chance, chases after it alone in order to stop it. But Taichi is powerless to do anything against the Kuwagamon by himself.
“It’s no good… I can’t do anything on my own…”
As Kuwagamon closes in on Taichi with a roar, his Digivice suddenly begins to glow bright–
“Taichi, you sure got big!”
At the sound of that familiar voice, the story turns largely once again.
Yagami Taichi, 17-years-old, high school.
The adventure evolves once again…

Yagami Taichi (CV: Hanae Natsuki)
A 2nd year who attends Tsukishima General High School. He is part of the soccer club and works hard at training every day. He is classmates with Takenouchi Sora in the same class. Six years ago, he acted as the leader of the Chosen Children in their adventure in the Digital World. He has a strong sense of justice, and his earnest, straightforward side hasn’t changed from his elementary school days, but lately he’s been seen worrying about what to do in his future.

Agumon (CV: Sakamoto Chika)
Taichi’s Digimon partner. A reptile Digimon who walks on two legs. Normally he’s very laid-back, but when the time calls for it, he faces down the enemy without considering the danger to himself. His special attack is a ball of flame that he spits out from his mouth, Baby Flame.

Ishida Yamato (CV: Hosoya Yoshimasa)
A 2nd year who attends Tsukishima General High School. He is in the class next door to Taichi and Sora. Although he looks cold by appearance, he is actually very considerate of his friends and has a fierce personality. His straightforward attitude often causes his opinions to clash with Taichi’s. He continues to play in a band much as he has done in middle school, as both bass and vocals. The “TEEN-AGE WOLVES” have been temporarily disbanded, perhaps due to differences in musical ideas among the band members, so he has recently formed a new band.

Gabumon (CV: Yamaguchi Mayumi)
Yamato’s Digimon partner. He wears Garurumon’s fur coat, but he is really a reptile Digimon like Agumon. His special attack is a small ball of flame, Petit Fire.

Takenouchi Sora (CV: Mimori Suzuko)
A 2nd year in Tsukishima General High School, and both classmate and childhood friend to Taichi. While she has a tomboyish and down-to-earth personality, she possesses both considerate kindness and tact towards other people and a strong sense of responsibility. She intervenes at times when Taichi and Yamato are fighting, and she is the “big sister” who brings everyone together.

Piyomon (CV: Shigematsu Atori)
Sora’s Digimon partner. A baby bird Digimon whose wings have developed into arms. Her special attack is an illusory fire, Magical Fire.

Izumi Koushiro (CV: Tamura Mutsumi)
A 1st year in Tsukishima General High School. He is an intelligent logical thinker who knows a lot about computers and the internet. He is proficient at quickly grasping a situation and analyzing it. He has an active side, where he communicates with “Chosen Children” throughout the world on the internet, but sometimes he can become so absorbed in knowledge and collecting information that he ignores everything else around him.

Tentomon (CV: Sakurai Takahiro)
Koushiro’s Digimon partner. An insect Digimon with six legs and a hard shell. His special attack is releasing static electricity from tactile sensation, Petit Thunder. For some reason, he speaks Kansai dialect.

Tachikawa Mimi (CV: Yoshida Hitomi)
A cheerful and innocent girl. She can be selfish and move at her own pace, but at the core, she is a kind person and liked by everyone. While she loves music and is a skillful singer, she also has a peculiar sense of taste thanks to her parents. While she had been living in America because of her dad’s job, she returns back to live in Japan. Her long years abroad have put a further shine to her innocence.

Palmon (CV: Yamada Kinoko)
Mimi’s Digimon partner. A plant Digimon with a tropical flower on her head. Her special attack uses poisonous ivy, Poison Ivy.

Kido Jou (CV: Ikeda Junya)
A sincere, serious-minded boy. He is a 3rd year who attends a high-level school in the city, and is currently studying to get into med school. Not only is he preparing for university exams, but he is also attending a prep school and is doing nothing but studying. However, his grades aren’t going up as much as he would like and he is beginning to be troubled over that.

Gomamon (CV: Takeuchi Junko)
Jou’s Digimon partner. A marine mammal Digimon covered in warm fur who is good at swimming. When he gets angry, the red hair that spreads from his head to his back stands on end. His special attack is freely using his henchmen fish, Marching Fishes.

Takaishi Takeru (CV: Enoki Junya)
A 2nd year who attends Odaiba Middle School. He lives apart from his brother Yamato because of their parents’ divorce, but the two have a good relationship and they frequently keep in touch. Just like Koushiro, he keeps in contact with “Chosen Children” throughout the world through his blog.

Patamon (CV: Matsumoto Miwa)
Takeru’s Digimon partner. A mammal Digimon with unique large ears. His special attack is swallowing air and spitting it back out in one burst, Air Shot.

Yagami Hikari (CV: MAO)
Taichi’s sister and a 2nd year who attends Odaiba Middle School. She always has her brother Taichi on her mind, and although she has a kind personality, she can also be very fierce. She loves sweets; lately the ice bars at the convenience store are her favorite. She still continues with the photography that she began out of interest as a hobby in elementary school.

Tailmon (CV: Tokumitsu Yuka)
Hikari’s Digimon partner. A holy beast Digimon shaped like a small cat. Her special attack is using her sharp long nails, Cat Punch.

They must have been too cheap to bring back the whole original casts. Is Saban in charge of the US version?

[MattEmily]

no they aren't. Saban apparently lost the rights to Digimon. A company called Eleven Arts is paying for it but I'm sure they're contracting themselves with Studiopolis.
