This page is dedicated to the Henry Wong and Rika Nonaka coupling, also known as Jenruki (a portmanteau of Jenrya and Ruki, the original Japanese names) or sometimes Jianruki (as Jenrya's name is often spelled Jianliang or as many other ways). The two are in Digimon Tamers.

Other Notes

  • Henry is worried about Rika when she is lost in the digital world.
  • They almost always appear together during the series.

Speculation

  • Although it is a popular coupling they appear to only seem best friends.
  • The two also have very different attitudes, personalities and styles which might apply to the saying "opposites attract".
