Koushirou Izumi

About Izumi, Koushirou

Age: 6 (Digimon movie part one), 10 (Digimon 01), 13 (Digimon 02), 16 (Digimon Tri.) Birthday: November 6, 1989 Koushirou is basically the group's tech expert. He's glued to his laptop—which looks like a Tangerine iBook with a pineapple symbol on it—constantly digging into research and trying to make sense of how everything works. His mind runs on logic and curiosity, which means he's naturally skeptical of people who act without thinking first. That kind of impulsiveness genuinely irritates him. Socially, he starts out pretty closed off. He doesn't naturally connect with people or pick up on their emotions, which made him seem distant and hard to reach. Interestingly, he was actually on the soccer team with Sora and Taichi back in the day, though that was more about avoiding social situations than any real passion for the sport—and honestly, he wasn't even that good at it anyway. As the partner of Tentomon and bearer of the Crest of Knowledge, Koushirou plays a key role in the group's digital adventures. His backstory adds a lot of depth to his character. His biological parents—his father was a brilliant mathematician and university lecturer—died in a car accident when Koushirou was just a baby. He was adopted by Izumi Masami, a distant relative of his father's, and Masami's wife Yoshie. They'd recently lost their own son, so raising Koushirou became a way for them to heal. For years, Koushirou had no idea he was adopted, and when the truth finally came out, it hit him hard. Eventually though, he came to terms with it and fully accepted himself as a true member of the Izumi family.
