featuring CHARACTER:
Koushiro[u] Izumi [Koushiro “Izzy” Izumi in US dub]
(+relationship with Mimi Tachikawa) [+Taichi Yagami]
+ IMPORTANT DIALOGUES (in Adventures & connecting to tri.)
+ CHARACTER/STORY PROGRESSION
also known as:
KOUSHIRO vs. COMMUNICATION
{further a.k.a: Communication Is Hard.}
{the following related quotes and information relates more specifically to Tri!Koushiro. There will be minimal spoilers for both his & Mimi’s roles in tri, without majorly spoiling the ending / plot surrounding Meiko.}
“I WISH THAT KOUSHIRO
would act more spoiled and unreasonable
instead of always keeping it inside”
(a refresher, of relevant Koushiro backstory potentials from
the novels written by Adventure director Kakudou!)
{I tend to refer to these passages a Lot
when discussing or analyzing Koushiros concepts for Reasons}:
[with translations thanks to Onkei;
as tumblr refuses to show posts with links in the tags nowadays,
please check in comments if you want the links to novels, thank you!]
- from the opening chapters; when lost on File Island
- from the part covering Adventure episode 28; a.k.a. “the Gate”:
“Before now, before he had come to the Digital World,
Koushiro had considered himself
an insignificant and WORTHLESS human being.”
{Note: it should be important to be kept in mind that Koushiro
within this point of the pre-series story [Novels, above]
is 10~ years old
and he’s been feeling those things
SINCE HE WAS A TINY CHILD [Ages 5~10].}
{“THERE’S NOTHING WRONG WITH
BEING [INTO/OBSESSED WITH] COMPUTERS!”}
[Note: in novels, it’s translated as “obsessed with”.]
BONUS:
{from later in the same sequence of Adventure #31, above}:
{from later on in Tri; Kyousei ending}:
THE BIGGEST BONUS:
tri. head Director Motonaga: As tri. is connected to 02, the entire theme of this work is depicting what the first generation of Chosen Children would be thinking about as they become adults.
Because the question of what kind of adults they’ll become has already been answered, we’re working on the problem of getting to that answer,
in a sort of reverse problem-solving.
(on Koushiro) As Koushiro begins to try changing his clothes in Part 1, he wants to become someone who can do something by himself.
- Otomedia, February 2016 (Digimon Adventure tri. interview)
[with translation credit thanks to website DigiLab Blog!]
“what they were learning in Tri.”: (KOUSHIRO):
“ After understanding about himself,
GAINS ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND OTHERS.
Learns to easily/OPENLY ACCEPT
OTHERS’ LOVE TOWARDS HIM .”
- from a post-Tri livestream interview given by Kazumasa Habu
(who, along with Kenji Watanabe and Mr. Maekawa, are members)
of the Digimon Staff that works with the LCD Virtual Pets
[with translation via Onkei]
{pictured: Habu holds up the planning sheet for Tri.}
MIMI - ‘selfishness’{-like quality, aka ‘Jikochu’ in Ketsui} disappears,
learns to be courteous towards others
[&] Learns not to expect others to be sweet on her
"just because she's a girl." {<- this includes Koushiro Izumi!}
learns that when it's necessary,
she'll have to get dirty herself and give in to things.
start of {Kokuhaku} / {Confession} [Movie #3]:
(earlier on, as well), {Ketsui}:
{Kyousei} / {Coexistence}; Movie #5:
{when she becomes stuck in a familiar-to-the-viewers setting
with Tentomon}:
[hey, wouldn’t you know,
she’s very clearly not upset with Koushiro anymore?]
{Kizuna}:
[the last we have of Original!Koushiro so far, from the credits;
he’s now the head of his own company,
having learnt how to UNDERSTAND others
while openly ACCEPTING LOVE towards HIMSELF,
from the people who CARE about him,
{and even simply learning how to communicate in TEAMS}]
(people who CARE ABOUT HM):
{ALSO KNOWN AS: HIS FRIENDS} & {HIS FAMILY}
“KNOWING NOTHING
is just a chance to learn new things, RIGHT?”
“PLEASE KEEP LEARNING NEW THINGS,
... AND ENJOYING IT.”

m E, LYING ON THE FLOOR CRYING AT ONE {1} SINGLE KOUSHIRO MENTION:
Digimon Adventures + Digimon Adventure tri. ~
(AUTISTIC HEADCANON!)
KOUSHIRO IZUMI Character Analysis (Japanese version)
{see Part 2 of Autistic!/Neurodivergent!Koushiro canonical traits here}
+ INFODUMPING in various ways
- about Interests, be they possible Special Interests
and things he HIGHLY ENJOYS &
infodumps about in an extremely INTENSE way
{such as the Oolong Tea, and even Science & Knowledge in general}
- about information / Team Analyzing & Strategy /
Special Interest in KNOWLEDGE in general
-- + Infodumping in both GOOD WAYS and BAD WAYS ...
(also depending on the certain framings of both these scenes)
{ the following post will have tri references from Soushitsu [Movie 4] }
{ and also Kokuhaku [Movie 3] }
READ FURTHER:
What is a Special Interest?
Special interests are (not named) literally a part of the diagnostic criteria for Autism. From the DSM-V directly:
Highly restricted, fixated interests that are abnormal in intensity or focus
Note: abnormal in intensity or focus
that means that if “everyone” has special interests, they aren’t ‘abnormal’ in intensity or focus, because that’s everyone.
In the examples, directly from the DSM-V, specifically referring to interests:
excessively circumscribed or perseverative interests
(circumscribed=restricted
perseverative=repeat insistently/redundantly)
also from that post:
INFO DUMPING
Yes, people like to know things about interests. But autistics often can’t stop. We repeat ourselves about them, and because of the social aspects mentioned above,
we know people think we’re annoying.
But we can’t stop.
We store the information and when it comes up its like they’re kicking over the file cabinet.
DOES KOUSHIRO GENUINELY ENJOY HIS {SPECIAL?} INTERESTS?:
“WHEN YOU’RE DOING RESEARCH,
OR LEARNING SOMETHING NEW,
YOU TRULY LOOK HAPPY
LIKE YOU’RE ENJOYING IT.”
- Tentomon in Kokuhaku {Confession}, Movie 3
with FULL memories of Koushiro
“I UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH YOU LOVE THIS.”
- Motimon in Soushitsu {Loss}, Movie 4
post-Reboot, at the time, SEEMINGLY NOT remembering Koushiro
And yet, the above scenes all together provide a DIFFERENT picture.
[And maybe a slightly smaller Relevant comparison moment BUT.....]
{“HOW WAS I?”}
- Adventure episode 28, the episode with the Gate to the Real World
Motimon asking about his overall performance.
{“I’M SORRY, AM I HEAVY?”}
... Motimon asking about his overall performance.
+ “am I inconveniencing you?” {basically}
“...” Koushiro has a significant pause as he’s realizing.
“Koushiro-han?”
“...so WE STILL had A {BOND}...”
- the point of this comparison being
EVEN WHEN MOTIMON SEEMINGLY DOESN’T HAVE ALL MEMORIES, MOTIMON REMEMBERS THINGS ABOUT KOUSHIRO IZUMI, INCLUDING
IMPORTANT, CONSTANTLY CEMENTED-IN-CANON TRAITS OF KOUSHIRO’S WIDER PERSONALITY
such as that
“WHEN YOU’RE DOING RESEARCH,
OR LEARNING SOMETHING NEW,
YOU TRULY LOOK HAPPY
LIKE YOU’RE ENJOYING IT.”
and by the way,
regardless of some small differences between versions so far,
this same side of his personality is KEPT so far in Adventure 2020:
“YOUR BRAIN!
YOUR {KNOWLEDGE}!!”
BUT WHAT ABOUT THE BAD SIDE YOU SHOWED EARLIER??
when they TALKED OVER HIM
THEY’RE BEING SO OOC AREN’T THEY???
Um... not wholly / it’s COMPLICATED.
[ note everyone’s expressions in the moment above.
most {all} are looking at him rather dismayed.
he’s clearly been at this for a while
to the point even Tailmon was snoozing
and had to ASK HIM DIRECTLY
“KOUSHIRO. What are you doing”
she even asks this in a straight deadpan ]
{Taichi didn’t exactly have the best patience here either.}
Reading the emails, missing the atmosphere / not reading the room
{essentially, missing Taichi’s social cues}
{this scene was also related in the previous posts
regarding Koushiro constantly missing social cues
[EVEN/SOMETIMES WITH TAICHI]
and yet the others {INCLUDING/ESPECIALLY TAICHI}
... eventually recognize
Koushiro DOES NOT MEAN THIS. GENUINELY
Tri!Taichi even defends Koushiro in the later scene in the 3rd movie:}
please relate back to the above contexts:
... and because of the social aspects mentioned above, we know people think we’re annoying. But we can’t stop. We store the information and when it comes up its like they’re kicking over the file cabinet.
WE CAN’T STOP
and neither can Koushiro when he’s infodumping
or specifically infodumping on his Interests POORLY.
The Chosen Children know this. {Eventually}
[because out of all of them, Taichi knows Koushiro best]
TAICHI YAGAMI KNOWS this. {a bit earlier on compared to the rest}
BUT IT TAKES TAICHI A ... Bit TO Learn
about Koushiro Izumi, TOO.
{ Koushiro is *sighing* here }
“AT TIMES LIKE THIS, YOU JUST HAVE TO HIT IT!”
{ a part of Taichi and Koushiro’s relationship is
learning patience with each others’ issues, if slowly at times/briefly }
{notice how here...}
this scene with the Oolong happens much later on in tri, and everyone just...
casually doesn’t mind that he’s obviously infodumping
with everyone in a much more pleasant mood & SITUATION {kind of}
than they were in the Movie 1 scene.
the contexts of the scenes are different
they have their Digimon back regardless and
are attempting to RELAX and re-bond with them.
{ including Koushiro + Motimon }
They are all {including Koushiro} clearly very COMFORTABLE here.
And, would I, as an Autistic fan who has info dumped often about my Special Interests myself, have preferred they handled the scene from Saikai better? MAYBE.
Do I also think they improved with later scenes by highlighting that infodumping comes naturally to Koushiro, to the point TENTOMON even points it out?
showing the Chosen sitting all together happily despite his infodumping?
considering literally all the contexts I’ve mentioned above about why Tri!Koushiro’s scenes in general are STILL important to his OVERALL personality,
AND this wider headcanon,
YES.
And here’s another thing...
When people LET US ramble on about our Special Interests without interrupting us, even if we’re being slightly
(or VERY) missing-reading-the-room about it,
IT CAN ACTUALLY EVEN BE A SIGN OF RESPECT
especially if it’s to a point you’re COMFORTABLE AROUND US
Autistic people love it when we’re allowed to ramble on without interruption.
We don’t necessarily EXPECT people to absorb or even understand EVERY single word we say. We’re just happy and pleased they’re letting us ramble, without making it out {directly to us, as in DELIBERATELY interrupting us or directly insulting us & our interests, is the literal WORST way} to seem like it’s a huge problem in the moment.
for example, if Tri!Taichi or co had deliberately interrupted Koushiro’s rambling in the 1st movie scene, i.e. if to YELL at him to “stop and pay attention, you’re being so ANNOYING!” for example, that would have been SO MUCH WORSE.
Koushiro’s friends are, in the wider plot of the series,
GOOD friends to him.
A bit later on in Movie 4:
{TAICHI NOTICING
KOUSHIRO’S EYES ARE CLEARLY GLASSY / FIRM / WATERY
/ MAYBE A BIT TEARY FROM ALL THE FRUSTRATION & STRESS.
And that Koushiro is clearly holding it all in for Taichi & the team’s comfort.}
Despite some bumps along the way they really do care.
{‘SEE HOW MUCH WE CARE ABOUT EACH OTHER AS A TEAM?’}
{‘SEE HOW MUCH YOU AND TAICHI CARED ABOUT EACH OTHER,
AGUMON?’ - Koushiro Izumi, probably, as he shows them to Agumon
- Koushiro even takes the ‘stealth’ photos HIMSELF as a hobby!!!}
...And in the 2nd scene from tri with Motimon (Movie 4), Mimi does GENTLY interrupt at the end... but note the reasoning: Koushiro has rambled on too long to the point he hasn’t eaten his food.
If he doesn’t eat his food, Koushiro isn’t practicing proper SELF CARE, and the Chosen {and later on, even Tri!Mimi!} know this.
They’re also looking out for him at various such times, in such moments.
Because they CARE.
I’d just, UM, also like to point something out here...
I’M. literally infodumping to you all by making this post & analysis. I understand and expect not every single word will be completely understood, either by more casual fans of the series or by people who aren’t Autistic / Neuro-divergent.
I’m fine with that. Mostly, I’ll be happy if you can at the very least please try to seriously consider what I’m saying about everything here, and how I personally analyze canon!Koushiro’s infodumping and the Chosens’ various responses.
[ NOTES:
THIS IS A FAN META POST.
This is also my particular headcanon / analysis of Koushiro
Please keep this in mind before you comment
This post was made with the intention of pointing out
CANONICAL character traits of Koushiro in the various media,
regardless of wider headcanons.
There is a bit further commentary in the tags
of the original post in regards to headcanons.
If you choose to read this post / commentary,
please be respectful.
Please be aware I am making this post and speaking
as someone who is Neuro divergent MYSELF. ]
{While I am grateful this series is now gaining some positive reception, I respectfully ask that you do not comment on the post or tags with canon hate or use these headcanons as reasons for further bashing canon.}

{NOTE: in the US dub a LOT of this context for Koushiro’s personality traits are left out or changed; Koushiro’s “inquisitive HEART” is instead referred to as simply “Curiosity”. However the US dub is noncanonical as it is heavily Americanized with many changes made to the original script pre-Tri.}
(FYI: The point of this post is NOT to bash or criticize Tri.
{In fact, quite the opposite}
The point is to point out how Tri DID, in fact,
follow near-directly quite a bit of Koushiro’s canonical personality traits.)
...even to the point Tentomon canonically {also in Tri!} calls Koushiro out when Koushiro, at the height of “knowing the darkness” (as the “prophecy” in Tri directly puts it) is about to give in believing he has become “Ignorant” and “Incompetent”.
Because Tentomon knows Koushiro best.
AND TENTOMON KNOWS IT ISN’T TRUE.
and it’s a theme consistently repeated with the two
WHENEVER KOUSHIRO’S STORY TAKES CENTER STAGE.
“I LIKE YOU WITH YOUR INQUISITIVE HEART.”
“ISN’T THAT WHAT YOU’VE BEEN DOING UP UNTIL NOW?”
“Your BRAIN! YOUR KNOWLEDGE!
That’s right
IT’S YOUR OWN SELF, KOUSHIRO-HAN!”
“KNOWING NOTHING IS JUST A CHANCE TO
LEARN NEW THINGS
...RIGHT?”
“PLEASE KEEP LEARNING NEW THINGS AND ENJOYING IT.”

Just Taishiro Things (Digimon Adventure Taichi x Koushiro):
Koushiro: [ 'if Taichi hadn't invited him, KOUSHIRO WAS SURE THAT HE WOULD HAVE NEVER GONE TO THE SUMMER CAMP.' ]
Koushiro in anime: " I've always believed in Taichi-san before this, in any case "
Koushiro in anime, WATCHING AS TAICHI, SOBBING, SPILLS TO KOUSHIRO HIS DEEPEST DARKEST SECRET:
Koushiro in the SAME EPISODES, Japanese version: (gently smiling "[I knew you were only worried about Hikari-san]") when Taichi attempts to apologize to him for earlier, one hundred percent acknowledging Taichi did not mean any of that and not holding anything against Taichi, they immediately drop the matter after Koushiro says that
Koushiro in Novels: [ 'Taichi’s big-hearted way of accepting his brazenness with a smile only deepened Koushiro's admiration for Taichi more than ever.' ]
Koushiro in Novels, when Yamato is fighting Taichi for the right to be leader: I’m against this. I don’t want to acknowledge anyone other than Taichi-san as our leader. (Koushiro proceeds to immediately get called by Yamato as being "ONE OF TAICHI'S FANS")
Koushiro in Tri magazine trivias: ( casually buying Taichi Yagami AND HIMSELF, TICKETS TO A SOCCER/FOOTBALL GAME BETWEEN FAMOUS FOREIGN PLAYERS, AS A [CHRISTMAS] GIFT, ASKING "Shall we go together"?)
Koushiro in DigiStage Play: I thought you [Taichi] could at least speak honestly with me !!
Koushiro in DigiStage Play: YOU'VE LOST SIGHT OF YOURSELF, TAICHI-SAN. I KNOW. I'VE WATCHED YOU AT YOUR SIDE ALL THESE YEARS !! ISN'T THAT RIGHT ?!!
TAICHI YAGAMI:
TAICHI, PROBABLY: ( DO I REALLY DESERVE KOUSHIRO )
KOUSHIRO, PROBABLY: ( WHY ARE YOU STILL ASKING THIS )

“ Arigatō gozaimas(u)... ah ... no... A- Arigatō ... ... ” ... )

Digimon Adventure Last Evolution: Kizuna ~ Preview Images
~ Kizuna {Animated} Short Stories (Previews)
[KOUSHIRO (“Izzy”) IZUMI CAP from twitter; originally from this post!]
In Kizuna [“Bonds”], Koushiro will have his OWN COMPANY while he’s a University student [which seems to bring in quite the amount of money] according to the profiles on Kizuna’s official website;
( “With the money he makes, he takes it upon himself to be a sort of hub between the Digital World and the human world, helping people with Digimon-related problems.” - from Koushiro’s Kizuna profile [English version website])
Here he seems to be giving some sort of presentation*, with a nice setup!
{*The line in Japanese at the top says “Digimon community”!}
EDIT: According to a user in this posts’ comments,
the line in Japanese at the top says also (at the start of the line):
“ Digimon community ” ( !!!!! )
EDIT 2: found another cap from here, and the 1st one is from here!
So it looks like Koushiro is giving a presentation to quite a little group here
[ Tentomon is there too !! ]
Apparently the bottom cap is from the 1st of the 5 short story films,
those taking place pre-Kizuna !
