Rion is Kei’s neighbor, and was Akira’s close friend during her stay in America the year before. Feeling deeply hurt that Akira no longer remembered their previous adventure in the Digital World, and under the influence of Mataymon and the Crest of Darkness, Rion vows to bring her and the other Chosen Children down. He starts off with a serious, no-nonsense demeanor, which comes off as cold to others around him. After reconciling with Akira and joining the rest of the Chosen Children, he becomes kinder and more outgoing. He eventually realizes that instead of resigning himself to being influenced or manipulated by others, he can instead take control of his life and choose his own path.
