Matt Ishida (Digimon Adventure)
Maybe more than Koji, Matt looked to be more of a peak Emo archetype. From the gloves to the hair, everything about him oozes emo kid. It’s nowhere more apparent than his backstory, where his parents divorced for unknown reasons and he and his brother T.K. were split apart from each other.
Despite his tendency to push people away, Matt is still a good friend. More than Tai, he wants to make sure that the others are well cared for during their journey in the Digital World, where Tai could be more single minded. He’s more overbearing than he should be, but it comes from a good place of concern rather than feeling like he knows what’s best for the group. Despite his fears of being replaced as T.K.’s older brother, he’s become a brother to the other members of the DigiDestined, and he’s more than worthy of the Crest of Friendship.
