Taichi Kamiya

Taichi "Tai" Kamiya is a Japanese Digidestined. He is the leader of the Japanese Digidestined. Born in Highten View Terrace, Japan, Tai served as leader of the Japanese Digidestined during their adventures. He later took a step back to allow Davis Motomiya serve as leader. He, Matt, Sora, and Izzy are students at Kyoto University.

During the Third Digital World War, Tai, with the help of Mimi Tachikawa and the other members of the Five Powers established the International Digidestined Alliance. He served as Director General of the IDA throughout both the Third Digital World War, even traveling to the Digital World to assist the Gennai Army. During his time away, he left the leadership of the IDA in the hands of Izzy Izumi who posed as Tai.

After helping the Gennai Army defeat the Hell Forces, he returned to the human world, but was captured by the IDA who believed that the returning heroes were decoys sent by the Hell Forces (given that Tai was known by the world to be leading the IDA).

He was placed in the Gobi Desert Prison until being freed by TK Takaishi and Gatomon. He later lead the Terrestrial Gennai Army against the IDA in the Battle of Highten View Terrace.

After the events of the Digidestined Civil War, Tai and Michael Washington dissolved the IDA in a speech before the United States Congress.
