Profile: Kazu is one of Takato's closest friends and is also a player of the DigiBattle Card Game, and there is nothing more Kazu enjoys than beating Takato and Kenta all the time. His involvement in Tamers truly started when Takato actually beat him, leaving hin confused, but when Takato mentioned about real life experience, Kazu wanted to go deeper into it. When Kazu first saw Guilmon he and Kenta freaked out and ran away, but when he saw him as WarGrowlmon, he got to know what being a Tamer is all about.

Kazu proved how good a friend he is by giving Takato a Blue Card he made himself. He said that it should work since Guilmon came from a drawing, so why shouldn't this work. The card(the design was weird) worked and it proved to be the one that saved the day. Secretly, Kazu wanted to be a Tamer himself and be just as good as Takato and the others. His chance came when he went to the Digital World, although he and Kenta did seem out of place as the others had partners, he made the best of it until he did finally get a partner of his own in the name of Gardromon.

This bio wouldn't be complete without mentioning the humor. Kazu is known as the comic relief of Tamers due to the fact that he makes so many jokes and wisecracks to keep the entire episode amusing. He often does these jokes with Kenta and they make quite a pair. He's also had his share of one liners by himself, and with Gardromon, often ending up in mass confusion. If Kazu never was the comedy guy of Tamers, then the season would be just plain old boring.

Gardromon? Well, Kazu was the only one who stood by his side when he was injured while the others went after Jeri, and since then, the two have gotten really close as partner and Tamer, in both battle and the multitude of jokes. For Kazu, he may seem like just a comedian with no sense of purpose, but he is really a true friend and he will help out to the best of his abilities as he knows it's the right thing to do.
