[edit] Description
Takuya's story starts when he receives a mysterious SMS message on his mobile phone one afternoon. The message instructs him to go to a subway station, where a Trailmon took him and four other human children into the Digital World.
Takuya begins the series as a typical "goggle boy" - energetic and athletic, but tending to act without thinking and very stubborn. He has a strong sense of justice, and tries to use his power to do what he believes is right. His hot-headed personality often leads to him arguing with Koji Minamoto, another of Digimon Frontier's main characters, however they learn to respect each other toward the middle of the series, after their first encounter with Duskmon, and become good friends and partners in battle. He acts like an older brother to Tommy Himi, who reminds him of his real brother Shinya.
Takuya also makes an appearance in a special chapter of the Digimon manga V-Tamer 01, where he teams up with Tai to fight Metamormon.
[edit] Digimon forms
Takuya wields AncientGreymon's power through the "Spirits of Flame".
[edit] Flamemon
 Flamemon is Agunimon and BurningGreymon's rookie form. When Takuya returns to the human world after his first encounter with Duskmon, he becomes this half-beast, half-human Digimon. In this form, he could not utilize his true power because his fighting spirit had been destroyed. However, after seeing himself in a time paradox, he overcame his fear and returned to the Digital World as Agunimon.

[edit] Agunimon
This is the digimon form that Takuya becomes when he uses the Human Spirit of Flame. The name "Agunimon" comes from "Agni", the Hindu god of fire. Agunimon appears in the very first episode of Digimon Frontier, "All Aboard", when Takuya first finds and uses the Human Spirit of Flame. Takuya was the first human to assume a Digimon form, and in his first battle defeated Ultimate leveled digimon Cerberusmon. Takuya continues to use this form in many other battles against the evil members of the Legendary Warriors. Later, when Takuya gains the ability to assume more powerful forms, this form is used less and less in battle. Attacks:

[edit] BurningGreymon
BurningGreymon is the form Takuya assumes when he uses the Beast Spirit of Flame. Takuya first obtained this Spirit from a shamanmon, who had been possessed by the spirit's wild power. At first, Takuya also had problems controlling this Beast Spirit, and even attempted to destroy the other DigiDestined with its power. He almost deleted Tommy Himi in this form until a tear drop from Tommy landed on his eye. It wasn't until Gigasmon kidnapped Tommy that Takuya gained the courage to use his beast spirit's power to defeat Gigasmon. This is a non-true type of Greymon as he exists as a Greymon solely in the dubbed versions of the series. His true, non-dubbed name is Vritramon.

[edit] Aldamon
By combining the Human and Beast Spirits of Flame, Takuya can become Aldamon. Many of Agunimon and BurningGreymon's features can be recognized in Aldamon. Takuya obtains the power to combine his two spirits when he received energy from Seraphimon's Digi-Egg during his fight with ShadowSeraphimon who was digivolved from Mercurymon using the Celestial Digimon Seraphimon's data. Aldamon later dealt the final blow to Sakkakumon after convincing the other DigiDestined that they should trust their digimon senses, and not the human anxieties that had them blasting each other with various attacks.

[edit] EmperorGreymon
Takuya attains this form when he Unifies the Spirits of Flame, Ice, Wind, Earth and Wood. EmperorGreymon looks similar to WarGreymon from Digimon Adventure. Takuya first becomes EmperorGreymon when he and Koji are fighting against the corrupted Cherubimon at the Rose Morning Star. In this EmperorGreymon delivers the final blow to Cherubimon after he impales him in the forehead with his sword. He also fights Dynasmon many times in this form. The sword EmperorGreymon wields is called the "Dragon Soul Sword" (龍魂剣 Ryuugonken). Attacks

[edit] Susanoomon
Susanoomon is created when all twenty spirits left by the Ancient Warriors are fused together, and possesses the combined powers of all 10 Legendary Warriors. The name "Susanoomon" comes from the Shinto Storms God Susanoo. He somewhat resembles Omnimon from the first season. This shows a possible connection between EmperorGreymon and MagnaGarurumon's mega DNA digivolution, and if Susanoomon is AncientGreymon and AncientGarurumon's DNA form as well. However, there was never any confirmation of the connection between the two. He's by far the strongest of the Legendary Warriors, and the only Digimon in the series strong enough to fight Lucemon (in both of his modes). When Koichi sacrificed himself to save the others from Lucemon Chaos Mode, he gave his Spirits of Darkness to his brother Koji. Takuya and Koji then brought all twenty Spirits together and became Susanoomon. In this form, they fought against Lucemon twice - the first time against Lucemon Chaos Mode, and then again to stop Lucemon Shadow Lord Mode from entering the human world. In this second fight against Lucemon, all five children combined to form Susanoomon and was able to penetrate the shadow-sphere where Lucemon Larva was hiding. In the final battle, Susanoomon managed to shatter the shadow-sphere, destroy Lucemon Shadow Lord Mode, and then split into the 10 separate Legendary Warriors and destroyed Lucemon for good. Attacks
