Koushirou is one of the original seven Chosen Children that found themselves in an entirely different world during the summer of 1999. Together with the others, as well as one more Chosen that joined them halfway through their adventures, Koushirou helped save both the Digital World and Earth as well as put them back into balance. A few months later he was part of the small group that stopped a rogue Digimon called Diaboromon from detonating a nuclear missile. A few years later Koushirou played mentor to the newest group of Chosen during their adventures, and was actively involved in a lot of their endeavors through his role as mission control. He participated more directly during the last few weeks of their challenges, and later once again lead the efforts to defeat the newly returned Diaboromon. Recently, Digimon have begun to appear and cause destruction in Tokyo, and Koushirou and the other Chosen are tasked with handling the issue and getting to the bottom of what's causing it. However, although Koushirou is able to identify the infection that is driving the Digimon to attack, it's too late to stop the Chosen's Digimon from being affected as well. After the Reboot is initiated, which resets the Digital World and erases the memories of the Chosen's partner Digimon, the group goes to Digital World to see their Digimon again and start over. Koushirou is quiet, calm, and highly intelligent. His strongest trait is Knowledge and he had little difficulty mastering what it means to have and use that trait, as well as all that entails in order to activate his Crest. Although he can seem somewhat cold or indifferent to other people, Koushirou is actually very kind and loyal. He is not particularly social, however, and usually would much rather spend his time working on something than talking. He's prone to overworking, to the point where it can be a risk to his health, because he feels incredibly responsible in his role as problem-solver and strategist for the team. STRENGTHS COMPUTERS Koushirou is incredibly adept with computers and programming. He understands both the coding and hardware sides of computers, and to some extent this knowledge extends to other devices like cell phones and some general engineering. His skill with computers is somewhat ridiculous and there's very little he can't do in canon, whether or not it's at all logically possible. PUZZLE-SOLVING He's very bright and quick to put together information, especially in regards to fitting data to a pattern. This is part of why he's so talented at learning the coding of the Digital World, deciphering things like the map installed on the D3s, and figuring out the gate puzzle that allowed the Chosen to return to their world during the Vamdemon attack. TACTICS Because he's good at thinking through multiple courses of action very quickly, he's particularly good at coming up with plans and strategies. While he rarely makes any quick decisions that come up in a battle--that's Taichi's job--he does choose most of the plans and missions that the team undertakes. FOCUS His ability to keep calm under pressure means he can focus and concentrate on a task even in the midst of danger and chaos. It's difficult to distract him from a goal no matter what might be happening or what might might be at stake, and so the stress of a situation rarely gets to him. INTUITION Oddly, for someone who is neither emotionally or socially adept, Koushirou is shown to be one of more intuitive members of the group. This mostly manifests as a feeling that something is 'off' or not as it seems, and can give him an indication of where to direct his attention to figure out what's going on in a situation. WEAKNESSES SOCIALIZING Koushirou is both very introverted and very shy, which is a combination that leads to extremely weak socializing skills. While he's made improvements lately, especially with friends he's known for some time, he often has difficulty reading and predicting the emotions of other people. INSENSITIVITY A related issue to the one above, Koushirou is not always able to figure out if he's doing something that's upsetting someone. He never means to be insensitive, it just happens. Sometimes a lot. He also sometimes prioritizes finding out information, especially in an urgent situation, over others' feelings, although again it's never with any malice. OBLIVIOUSNESS For someone as intelligent and knowledgeable as Koushirou, he has a bad habit of becoming too absorbed in what he's doing to pay attention to the world around him. This can result in something as minor as not noticing a friend speaking or as major as missing that he's in immediate danger. OVERWORKING Koushirou does not have a good sense of his limits, and tends to become hyperfocused on what he's doing. Sometimes this is a mild problem that just leads to less sleep or a missed meal, but when working on something important he may push himself to the point where it's a risk to his well-being.
