Izzy brought his entire computer setup to summer camp, and is annoyed when none of it works due to the sudden snowstorm. To his chagrin, his technology won't work in the Digital World either. Once in the Digital World, Izzy is very curious about the nature of the Digital World and the Digimon, and tries to come up with theories to explain it all.

When the DigiDestined enter a factory, Izzy finds a large battery and enters. He wipes away a part of the hieroglyphics on the inner wall, causing the factory to stop production. He becomes the first to realize that everything, even the program, is living in the Digital World. He is also delighted to find out his computer works in this factory, and gets distracted trying to make sense of things. He even finds a code that activates his Digivice, though it burns {{c|Tentomon|a}} out. Izzy’s skills with the computer soon prove to be extraordinarily useful for the group when, during the battle against {{c|Andromon|a}}, Tentomon suggests that Izzy reenter the code that activated his Digivice. When Izzy types it in, Tentomon digivolves into {{c|Kabuterimon|a}} and destroys the Black Gear affecting Andromon.{{storylink|Kabuterimon's Electro Shocker}}

Izzy is the computer whiz of the group, and the most curious of the Digital World. He often prefers to be alone. Once in the Digital World, Izzy develops an "alien theory" and has a low opinion of the Digimon. For instance, when his partner, {{c|Tentomon|a}}, hears about Izzy’s alien theory, he asks, "What mystery is there to me? I am who I am." When the DigiDestined enter a factory, Izzy finds a large battery and enters. He wipes away a part of the hieroglyphics on the inner wall, causing the factory to stop production. Izzy becomes the first to realize that everything, even the program, is living in the Digital World.

Izzy’s skills with the computer, however, soon prove to be extraordinarily useful for the group. During the battle against {{c|Andromon|a}}, Tentomon suggests that Izzy reenter the program that activated his Digivice. When Izzy retypes it in, Tentomon digivolves into {{c|Kabuterimon|a}} and defeats the black gear in Andromon. When [[Mimi Tachikawa|Mimi]] and Tentomon run into a maze, Izzy pulls out the map and locates Mimi’s location. He then directs her out of the maze.
 +
When {{c|Devimon|a}} separates the DigiDestined, Izzy and Tentomon end up in the Ancient Dino Region. They find a temple, and Izzy recognizes the symbols on the ruins as being identical to those in the factory battery. He begins studying them, and is so preoccupied with his computer and his research that he barely notices when [[Mimi Tachikawa|Mimi]] and {{c|Palmon|a}} arrive. Mimi is insulted by his indifference and runs away crying, with Tentomon in hot pursuit. When they both run into a maze, Izzy pulls out the map and locates Mimi’s, directing them out of the maze and saving them when {{c|Centarumon|a}} attacks.{{storylink|A Clue From The Digi-Past}}
   
  +
After he receives a message from {{c|Datamon|a}}, Izzy uses it to deduce that the Digital World is an alternate world that runs parallel to the Real World. He theorizes that the children may have left their bodies behind when they arrived in the Digital World (a theory that turns out to be false), but later warns [[Sora Takenouchi|Sora]] that dying in the Digital World would still be very real. After Datamon captures Sora, he figures that Datamon is still inside the pyramid, and helps Tai rescue her.
−
After the defeat of {{c|Devimon|a}}, the DigiDestined are sent to the continent of Server to defeat {{c|Etemon|a}}. While they are in the capacity of {{c|Piximon|a}}, [[Yamato "Matt" Ishida|Matt]] and Izzy see that their tags are glowing. They sneak out and find their crests; Matt receives the Crest of Friendship, while Izzy receives the Crest of Knowledge. Izzy’s curiosity and deductive reasoning comes in handy once again; when {{c|Datamon|a}} captures [[Sora Takenouchi|Sora]], he is the first to theorize that Datamon is still inside the pyramid. Tai and Izzy rescue Sora. Etemon learns of their presence and goes down there to destroy those kids. In the final ensuring battle, {{c|Greymon|a}} successfully digivolves into {{c|MetalGreymon|a}} and defeats Etemon. [[Taichi "Tai" Kamiya|Tai]] and his Digimon are sucked into the Real World; during their short stay there, Izzy sends a frantic transmission, warning Tai not to go back to the Digital World.
  
   
−
However, Tai reenters the Digital World anyway, because he knows that he must restore the balance between the two worlds. Izzy runs into [[Vademon]], who tricks him into giving up his curiosity and regresses him to an accepting mind that does not question anything. Tentomon frantically tries to get him back to no avail; he slowly reverse digivolves back into {{c|Motimon|a}} and {{c|Pabumon|a}} before Izzy snaps out of it. Izzy gets his tag and crest and his curiosity back. In the ensuring battle, {{c|Kabuterimon|a}} digivolves into {{c|MegaKabuterimon|a}} and defeats Vademon.

After Tai and {{c|MetalGreymon|a}} disappear following the battle against {{c|Etemon|a}}, Izzy and Tentomon break from the other DigiDestined in hopes of finding [[Gennai]] and getting some answers. They runs into [[Vademon]], who tricks Izzy into giving up his curiosity and regresses him to an accepting mind that does not question anything. During this state, he sends a message to Tai, telling him not to return to the Digital World. Tentomon frantically tries to get Izzy back to no avail; he slowly reverse digivolves back into {{c|Motimon|a}} and {{c|Pabumon|a}} before Izzy snaps out of it. Izzy gets his tag and crest and his curiosity back. In the ensuring battle, the [[Crest of Knowledge]] activates, and {{c|Kabuterimon|a}} Digivolves into {{c|MegaKabuterimon|a}} and defeats Vademon.{{storylink|No Questions, Please}} Following Izzy's fight with Vademon, Gennai loads his computer with the Digimon Analyzer. This program becomes invaluable when Izzy has to figure out the puzzle to {{c|Myotismon|a}}'s special gate to the Real World.{{storylink|It's All In The Cards}}
   
−
During the search for the Eighth Child, the DigiDestined pursue {{c|Myotismon|a}} into the Real World. [[Gennai]] loads a couple of programs into Izzy’s laptops that gives him much information. The first program tracks the movement of Digimon; Izzy sees [[Raremon]] attacking Tokyo Bay and rushes out there with Tentomon to stop him. The second program puts up a digital barrier, which stops the {{c|Bakemon|a}} from taking Izzy and his parents away. Gennai also tells Izzy that the source of Myotismon’s power is in the [[Fuji TV station]] and describes the prophecy to him. The prophecy aids them in defeating [[VenomMyotismon]]; when Izzy reads the prophecy out loud (it took the DigiDestined some time to figure it out), the group follows its lines. {{c|Angemon|a}} and {{c|Angewomon|a}} hit Matt and Tai with arrows of hope and light, which leads to {{c|Agumon|a}} and {{c|Gabumon|a}} warp digivolving into their Mega forms, which is of tremendous aid in the battle.

During this saga, Izzy’s parents reveal to him that he was adopted. Izzy’s real parents were killed in a car accident, and his father’s distant cousin adopted Izzy. Izzy also reveals that he found out when he overheard a late-night conversation, and says that he retreated into computers to try to forget about what he had overheard.

In the lull between battles, Izzy’s parents reveal to him that he was adopted, and tell him of his birth parents. Izzy apologize to them for being so distant, and they tell him they're happy to have him as their son.{{storylink|Prophecy}}

Izzy’s computer becomes a more valued asset as the DigiDestined battle the [[Dark Masters]]. Before, their Digimon partners used to describe the information about the various Digimon that they encountered; now, Izzy has loaded a database of Digimon profiles. When a new Digimon shows up, Izzy names and describes the characteristics to the rest of the DigiDestined. However, against [[Machinedramon]] it was more of a hindrance as it allowed him to track their movements around the city.

In the last battle against {{c|Piedmon|a}}, Izzy was turned into a key chain. After Apocalymon was defeated, Izzy calculated that, because one day in the Digital World equaled just one minute in the Real World, the DigiDestined could stay in the Digital World for 118 years. However, Gennai tells them that the time distortion was fixed with the defeat of {{c|Apocalymon|a}}, and that the solar eclipse would seal the barrier for an indefinite amount of time. Izzy says goodbye to Tentomon, thanking him for being a good friend.

On March 4, 2000, Izzy discovers a Digi-egg infected with a computer virus on the internet, and rushes off to alert the others. He comes over to Tai's house to watch the battle unfold. He is deluged with the number of e-mails coming in, and frantically begs their audience to stop sending them, as their lag is slowing {{c|WarGreymon|a}} and {{c|MetalGarurumon|a}} down.

In Our War Game, Izzy is the one who first discovers a digi-egg infected with a computer virus on the internet, and then rushes off to alert the others. He comes over to Tai's house to watch the battle unfold. He is deluged with the number of e-mails coming in, and frantically begs their audience to stop sending them, as their lag is slowing {{c|WarGreymon|a}} and {{c|MetalGarurumon|a}} down. Meanwhile, Izzy continues to eat all of Mrs. Kamiya's cooking, despite Tai's warnings. This eventually gives him indigestion at a crucial point, so that he's out of the room when Tai accidentally freezes the computer.

Sometime before April 2001, Izzy leaves the soccer club and joins the computers club instead. He quickly becomes a respected member, and is appointed president of the club.{{storylink|Original Story: 2½ Year Break}} He becomes acquainted with [[Yolei Inoue]], another member of the computer club, who looks up to him.

Three years later, Izzy is now in high school and is a president of the Computer Club. Izzy continues to play his technical role; he monitors the Digital World and alerts the new DigiDestined to upcoming troubles and problems. Izzy devises the plan to invade [[Ken Ichijouji]]’s base; with [[Cody Hida]]’s information that a pipeline will cross paths with Ken’s base, he directs Agumon and Gabumon to create a diversion. Later, when Ken’s base is about to explode, Izzy tells them the problem and when the warp is back to normal.

As the new DigiDestined gather to battle the [[Digimon Emperor]], Izzy mentors them and continues to play his technical role. He monitors the Digital World and alerts the new DigiDestined to upcoming troubles and problems. Izzy researches the new [[Digivices]] and figures they have three new functions, dubbing them the [[D-3]]s.{{storylink|Guardian Angel}}
−
With [[Willis]] from America, he also figures out that the new Digivices have three new functions, and dubs them the [[D-3]]s. Lastly, after school gets out, Izzy theorizes that the power of the D-3 is what really opens the gate to the Digital World. This theory proves to be correct, and gives the DigiDestined the ability to open up ports at any time and any location, rather than being limited to simply using the school’s computer lab to move in and out of the Digital World.

In summer, Izzy is kidnapped into another dimension and regresses in age thanks to [[Wendigomon]]. The new DigiDestined reverse this.

Izzy is seen upgrading his computer during the opening theme, and in the original version he is kidnapped along with the other original DigiDestined and de-aged.

Description

Izzy is a computer expert and spends a large fraction of his time trying to figure stuff out on his "PiBook" laptop. He is very intelligent and knowledgeable, and often gets lost in thought while trying to figure out something new. He is extremely curious about the nature of the Digital World, and works ceaselessly to learn whatever there is to know about it. He is resourceful and dutiful, and quick to help his friends. He is somewhat socially awkward, even as a teenager when he is more confident in his ability. In the Japanese version, he is extremely polite.

Izzy lives with his adopted parents. He found out of his adoption by accident, causing him to distance himself from them, but eventually he accepted them as his true parents after they revealed the story of his adoption to him and told him about his birth parents.

Izzy is initially a member of the soccer club with Taichi "Tai" Kamiya and Sora Takenouchi, though he isn't particularly good at the sport. He later becomes the president of the computers club.

In the English dub, Izzy often says "Prodigious!"

Fiction

Izzy's real father was a genius mathematician. He and his wife died in a car crash when he was a baby. He was then adopted by Masami Izumi, a distant relative of Izzy's father, and his wife Kae. Prophecy One night, when Izzy couldn't sleep, he overheard his parents talking about him being adopted. After this shocking discovery, he began to subconsciously distant himself from his parents and focusing on his computer. Kabuterimon's Electro Shocker

M1 Izzy

Izzy witnesses the battle between Greymon and Parrotmon.

In 1995, Izzy's family lived in Highton View Terrace. One night, he witnessed the battle between Greymon and Parrotmon. Digimon Adventure This event caused him to be chosen to be a new DigiDestined. The Ultimate Clash The destruction created by the battle caused it to be labeled a terrorist attack, and the Izumi's moved away from the area. Return to Highton View Terrace

Izzy brought his entire computer setup to summer camp, and is annoyed when none of it works due to the sudden snowstorm. To his chagrin, his technology won't work in the Digital World either. Once in the Digital World, Izzy is very curious about the nature of the Digital World and the Digimon, and tries to come up with theories to explain it all.

When the DigiDestined enter a factory, Izzy finds a large battery and enters. He wipes away a part of the hieroglyphics on the inner wall, causing the factory to stop production. He becomes the first to realize that everything, even the program, is living in the Digital World. He is also delighted to find out his computer works in this factory, and gets distracted trying to make sense of things. He even finds a code that activates his Digivice, though it burns Tentomon out. Izzy’s skills with the computer soon prove to be extraordinarily useful for the group when, during the battle against Andromon, Tentomon suggests that Izzy reenter the code that activated his Digivice. When Izzy types it in, Tentomon digivolves into Kabuterimon and destroys the Black Gear affecting Andromon. Kabuterimon's Electro Shocker

When Devimon separates the DigiDestined, Izzy and Tentomon end up in the Ancient Dino Region. They find a temple, and Izzy recognizes the symbols on the ruins as being identical to those in the factory battery. He begins studying them, and is so preoccupied with his computer and his research that he barely notices when Mimi and Palmon arrive. Mimi is insulted by his indifference and runs away crying, with Tentomon in hot pursuit. When they both run into a maze, Izzy pulls out the map and locates Mimi’s, directing them out of the maze and saving them when Centarumon attacks. A Clue From The Digi-Past

After he receives a message from Datamon, Izzy uses it to deduce that the Digital World is an alternate world that runs parallel to the Real World. He theorizes that the children may have left their bodies behind when they arrived in the Digital World (a theory that turns out to be false), but later warns Sora that dying in the Digital World would still be very real. After Datamon captures Sora, he figures that Datamon is still inside the pyramid, and helps Tai rescue her.

After Tai and MetalGreymon disappear following the battle against Etemon, Izzy and Tentomon break from the other DigiDestined in hopes of finding Gennai and getting some answers. They runs into Vademon, who tricks Izzy into giving up his curiosity and regresses him to an accepting mind that does not question anything. During this state, he sends a message to Tai, telling him not to return to the Digital World. Tentomon frantically tries to get Izzy back to no avail; he slowly reverse digivolves back into Motimon and Pabumon before Izzy snaps out of it. Izzy gets his tag and crest and his curiosity back. In the ensuring battle, the Crest of Knowledge activates, and Kabuterimon Digivolves into MegaKabuterimon and defeats Vademon. No Questions, Please Following Izzy's fight with Vademon, Gennai loads his computer with the Digimon Analyzer. This program becomes invaluable when Izzy has to figure out the puzzle to Myotismon's special gate to the Real World. It's All In The Cards

Once the DigiDestined are back in the Real World, Gennai loads a couple of useful (and some not so useful) programs into Izzy’s laptop. One program tracks the movement of Digimon; Izzy sees Raremon attacking Tokyo Bay and rushes out there with Tentomon to stop him. The Eighth Digivice Another program puts up a digital barrier, which stops the Bakemon from taking Izzy and his parents away. City Under Siege Gennai also tells Izzy that the source of Myotismon’s power is in the Fuji TV station and describes a prophecy to him. The prophecy aids them in defeating VenomMyotismon; when Izzy reads the prophecy out loud, the group follows its lines. Angemon and Angewomon hit Matt and Tai with arrows of hope and light, which leads to Agumon and Gabumon warp digivolving into their Mega forms, which is of tremendous aid in the battle. Prophecy

In the lull between battles, Izzy’s parents reveal to him that he was adopted, and tell him of his birth parents. Izzy apologize to them for being so distant, and they tell him they're happy to have him as their son. Prophecy

Izzy’s Digimon Analyzer becomes a more valued asset as the DigiDestined battle the Dark Masters. With a loaded a database of Digimon profiles, Izzy can name and describes the characteristics of new Digimon they encounter. However, is proves to be a hindrance against Machinedramon, as Izzy's usage of the computer allows him to track their movements around his city. My Sister's Keeper

After Apocalymon is defeated, Izzy calculates that, because one day in the Digital World equals just one minute in the Real World, the DigiDestined could stay in the Digital World for 118 years. However, Gennai tells them that the time distortion was fixed with the defeat of Apocalymon, and that the solar eclipse would seal the barrier for an indefinite amount of time. Izzy says goodbye to Tentomon, thanking him for being a good friend. The Fate of Two Worlds

On March 4, 2000, Izzy discovers a Digi-egg infected with a computer virus on the internet, and rushes off to alert the others. He comes over to Tai's house to watch the battle unfold. He is deluged with the number of e-mails coming in, and frantically begs their audience to stop sending them, as their lag is slowing WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon down. After WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon DNA Digivolve into Omnimon and take out all of Diaboromon's clones, however, the remaining Diaboromon is too quick for Omnimon, always jumping away just as Omnimon spots it. Izzy comes up with a plan, forwarding all of the support emails to Diaboromon to slow him down. Omnimon manages to destroy Diaboromon just seconds before the nuclear missiles it launched would have detonated in Japan. Our War Game!

On May 2000, Izzy arrives in the Digital World and gives up his Crest power to free the Digimon Sovereigns. As a result, Tentomon loses the power to become MegaKabuterimon. Fusion Confusion

Sometime before April 2001, Izzy leaves the soccer club and joins the computers club instead. He quickly becomes a respected member, and is appointed president of the club. Original Story: 2½ Year Break He becomes acquainted with Yolei Inoue, another member of the computer club, who looks up to him.

During all this time, Izzy keeps in touch with Gennai, sending him emails frequently.

As the new DigiDestined gather to battle the Digimon Emperor, Izzy mentors them and continues to play his technical role. He monitors the Digital World and alerts the new DigiDestined to upcoming troubles and problems. Izzy researches the new Digivices and figures they have three new functions, dubbing them the D-3s. Guardian Angel

In summer, Izzy is kidnapped into another dimension and regresses in age thanks to Wendigomon. The new DigiDestined reverse this. Digimon Adventure 02: Digimon Hurricane Landing!!/Transcendent Evolution!! The Golden Digimentals

After school is out for the summer, Izzy theorizes that the power of the D-3 is what really opens the gate to the Digital World. This theory proves to be correct, and gives the DigiDestined the ability to open up ports at any time and any location, rather than being limited to simply using the school’s computer lab to move in and out of the Digital World. Ghost of a Chance After Izzy and Cody find the Digimon Emperor's base, the new DigiDestined decide to go to the Digital World and stay there until they defeat the Digimon Emperor.

He alerts the new DigiDestined and keeps them updated on its condition while they're trying to stabilize it. Following ExVeemon and Stingmon's Digivolution into Paildramon, Izzy invites the new DigiDestined to his house, and explains how DNA Digivolution works and why the older DigiDestined's Digimon can't Digivolve past Champion anymore.

Izzy later takes care of Poromon while Yolei is on a class trip to Kyoto. He visits Ken in his house to discuss Ken's past experiences with the Digital World and the Dark Ocean, and explains to him why the new DigiDestined's Digivices changed their shape and functions. After realizing that Poromon is tired from being in the Real World without his partner for so long, he hands Poromon over to Ken so he can take him to the Digital World to recharge. A Chance Encounter
