Karatenmon is a Wizard Digimon. It has an appearance like a Shugenja. It is a follower of the great Tengu Digimon, and its face is the epitome of a crow. It excels in Shugendo, and freely manipulates its Genriki. The two swords that Karatenmon possesses are called the "Irataka" (伊由太加の剣 Irataka no Ken?, lit. "Irataka Swords"), and contain strong magical powers.[3] As a wandering warrior, it has been taught by many masters and gained arcane abilities.[4]
