[edit] Description
Koji was the child chosen to wield the Spirits of Light. Koji starts the series as the group loner, but gradually warms up to the other children. Koji receives Ophanimon's cell phone message while he was out buying flowers for his stepmother. He followed the instructions on the SMS, which led to a subway station where a Trailmon took him to the Digital World.
Koji travelled alone until he met Tommy Himi and J.P. Shibayama and had to save the two from a horde of attacking Pagumon. From then on, Koji showed up to help the other Digidestined from time to time, and then eventually joins the group permanently.
Koji also meets his twin brother, Koichi Kimura, for the first time in the Digital World. Koji's parents had split up when they were too young to remember each other, and his mother had moved out with Koichi and their grandmother. Koji's father remarried, told Koji that his mother had died, and never informed him of his twin brother. As such, Koji grew up never knowing he had a brother, let alone a twin. But he missed his birth mother very much (not knowing that she was actually alive) and he would constantly look at a photograph of her that was on the backside of a framed picture containing his current family, something his father seemed to disapprove of. Despite his stepmother's kindness and the fact she genuinely cares about him, he had really difficult relationship with her, not willing to accept her presence in his life. He actually finally decided to accept her as his mother on the same day he would unknowingly be sent to the Digital World, ordering a bouquet for her and his father's wedding anniversary and making the decision to call her "mom". When he and the others returned to the Real World, he was able to fulfill his task, graciously presenting his wonderfully surprised stepmother some flowers. He was also later reunited with his birth mother with the help of Koichi.
[edit] Digimon forms
Koji wields AncientGarurumon's power through the Spirits of Light. In Digimon Battle Spirit 2, Koji can become AncientGarurumon himself as a "finishing" move. If Wolfmon fills up his power meter, he can warp digivolve into AncientGarurumon and slash his swords at his opponent.
[edit] Lobomon  Lobomon is Koji's Digimon form when he uses the Human Spirit of Light. The name "Lobomon" comes from "Lobo", the Spanish and Portuguese word for "Wolf". His helmet is grey with white lines on the eye holes and a black nose. His scarf is light purple with darker purple stripes. His chest and abdominal armor is grey with four purple rectangles. He has a pair of white pants with two grey and purple kneepads and a belt wrapped around each upper thigh. His feet are "wolf-shaped" With a black upper part with a grey-outlined purple diamond on each foot and two pieces of the armor covering his ankles. a square sheath is wear his "Lobo Kendos" are sheathed. His shoulder pads each have the "symbol of light" on them. His gauntlets are grey and purple and on his left gauntlet is his "Howling Laser" wear his "Saint Amethyst" is, giving the laser power. His gloves are black with purple knuckles. His power rivals that of a champion/ultimate. Lobomon first appears in episode 2 of Digimon Frontier. Tommy Himi and J.P. Shibayama were being chased by a group of Pagumon and fell into a mysterious chamber. They where found by Koji, who beat off the Pagumon using a pole. However, a Pagumon digivolved into Raremon, and turned the tables against Koji. Takuya Kanbara and Zoe Orimoto arrived and Takuya proceeded to evolve into Agunimon. However, he lost the fight and reverted to his human form. Trying to push Tommy away from an attack, Takuya accidentally pushed Koji into a deep hole. Raremon's acid attack hit the wall at just the correct spot, releasing a beam of light that revealed Koji's Human Spirit of Light. This allowed Koji to Spirit Digivolve into Lobomon for the first time. He seems to resembles Garurumon (His scarf/armor design,the helmet and his "Howling Laser" attack) Koji fights in this form in Digimon Battle Spirit 2. Attacks

[edit] KendoGarurumon  KendoGarurumon is Koji's digimon form when he uses the Beast Spirit of Light. KendoGarurumon is a wolf-like digimon who can move at the speed of light. He is completely covered in white armor with yellow edges and blue stripes. a curved yellow spike is on his chest armor. He has the "Rocket Skates" on each of his feet and The "Howling Blades" on his back. KendoGarurumon first appears when the group fought against Grumblemon. Koji helped some Gotsumon by replacing a gem into the eye of a rock, and released the Beast Spirit of Light. Koji became the first of the group to Spirit Digivolve with a Beast Spirit, turning into KendoGarurumon and defeats Grumblemon. He had trouble at first controlling the Beast Spirit but quickly got over it. This is Koji's digivolution in Digimon Battle Spirit 2. Attacks

[edit] Beowulfmon Beowulfmon is the combined form of both of Koji's spirits. Beowulfmon's name derives from the Epic poem Beowulf, and the poem's protagonist hero of the same name. He has Lobomons helmet,humanoid body features,right arm armor,pants,lower leg armor,laser and sabre's. He also has KendoGarurumons chest armor,upper leg armor, left arm armor and has become his "Hand Launcher"(which is revealed to store a powerful set of missals and a laser, hence making him even more like MetalGarurumon) and "Howling Blades' which now are fused together making Beowulfmons "Beo Sabre". He can store his "Beo Sabre" in his back armor where KendoGarurumons "Howling Blades" were attached. He resembles WereGarurumon. Beowulfmon first appears in episode 27, where Koji was trapped within Sakkakumon's Darkness Sphere. Koji fought, and was defeated by Duskmon, forcing him to revert to his human form. About to be killed by Duskmon, Koji started thinking back to all the things he felt he regretted in his life. His will to continue living wakened Seraphimon's Digi-Egg, upgrading Koji's D-Tector and giving him the power to combine his Beast and Human Spirits. Attacks

[edit] MagnaGarurumon Koji achieves this form when he Unifies the Spirits of Light, Darkness, Thunder, Water and Steel. He fights against, and eventually defeats, Dynasmon and Crusadermon alongside EmperorGreymon. This is the form he assumes during most of his fights against Crusadermon. He also fights against the corrupted Cherubimon. He has the ability to disarm himself and attack using "Starburst Hunter" and "Magna Sabre" then reassemble the weaponry and armor. With the armor he resembles a much larger,bipedal and more powerful MetalGarurumon. Without the armor he resembles a much larger and more powerful Weregarurumon. Attacks
