- Across the Bay
This page is about Yama's family. I'll
try to put all the knowledge I know about them in this quaint little page.
Don't worry, it'll only take you couple of minutes to read. I don't know
much but you'll never know. I always have something up my sleeve. Well,
not really. *sweatdrop*
!["Why are they leaving me?"](images/split.jpg)
- "I've never let anyone get
close to me before... Not since my family split up.
- Ever
since then, I've been left alone. I figured if my family didn't want me, then
- I'd just keep to myself and not tell anyone what I was feeling."

Matt, "Crest of Friendship"
-
- Living Apart (01)
-
-
As you know, Matt and his dad lives in Odaiba, and TK and his mom live on
the other side of town, across the bay. How the heck did that happen, you
might ask yourself. Well, these are my views on how. The real story
isn't really known, but it might be close.
The Ishida Family
consists of the parents, and their two young sons...
It sounds normal
right? Wrong. The family is torn apart. Yamato and his dad living in Odaiba, and
Takeru and his mom living in Kawada, the town across the bay.
The Ishida/Takaishi
family has one of the most depth and history out of all the other families in the show. Let's
start from the beginning, shall we?
The Ishida Family were
living in an apartment in Highton View Terrace. After a 'terrorist bombing,' the
family moved. Matt was 7 and T.K. was 4 at the time. (Got
my source from the episode 'Return to Highton View Terrace.' Matt said 'Four
years ago' was the bombing, and Matt is eleven. Eleven minus four is seven.) At first
glance, the family looked like a normal, happy family. Nah-uh. Problems occurred
between the parents and they couldn't stand living with each other any longer. So
what was their solution? Divorce.
Well, from the looks of
it, they were first living in Highton. Then when the bombing took place, they
went to Kawada (The city where TK and his mom lived). Things weren't going so well, so the parents got a divorce. Matt and his dad moved
away to Odaiba, since in the
ep. "Battle for the Earth,"
it showed flashbacks. Mr. Ishida was carrying a bag and walking away with Matt,
while Ms. Takaishi was just wearing an apron holding T.K's hand. So Matt and his
dad moved away to an apartment building in Odaiba.
Well, that's the history.
Pretty deep, doncha think?
Season Two
So, has anything gotten any better since Yama and TK came back from the Digi
World? Have the two parents made up and gotten back together? Are they one big
happy family now?? *pause* No. ^_^;;
BUT... Mrs. Takaishi and Takeru have moved
closer in Odaiba. One step forward!
The Family
![Mr. Ishida and Mrs. Takaishi looking on as their sons battle.](images/momndad.jpg)
Okey-dokie,
I'm here to talk about Yama's family. I'll try to gather up as much info as I
could, so... mmmkay. Let's begin, shall we? I'll begin with TK, then the dad
and mom, and so forth.
The Little Brother
![Lol. ^_^](images/Tk02.GIF)
Name: Takeru
"T.K." Takaishi
Age: 8
in 01 and 11 in 02
Grade: 2nd
grade in 01 and 5th in 02
School: Kawada
Elementary
in 01 and Odaiba Elementary in 02
Hair color: Blonde
Eye Color:
Blue
01 Attire: A
weird hat, green long sleeve, and brown shorts. With shoes too.
02 Attire: Another
weird hat (lampshade style!), a yellow and green shirt, and green
shorts.
Crest: Hope
Possessions: A
green backpack (01)
Digimon:
Poyomon/Tokomon/Patamon/Angemon/MagnaAngemon
Personality/Info: Well
everyone knows who TK is. ^_^ He's Matt's sweet, innocent little brother.
It's like TK never does anything wrong... except making Matt leave the
group for several episodes. *mumbles* Well anyhoo... For some weird
reason, TK's personality totally changed when they came back to the
Digital World to fight off the Dark masters. Weird...
Some would say that TK is a
crybaby. ^^;; Well, he does tend to cry a bit, but he's got his reasons
to. Plus, he's only 8. He's allowed to cry sometimes. TK is also of the
youngest of the DigiDestined in Season 1, with Kari. He's also real sweet,
willing to do almost anything for the group. Everyone is real fond of TK.
^_^ Also, he's pretty smart for his age. Remember the time he tricked
Puppetmon? *pause* Mmm... Puppetmon... actually, anybody could trick him.
Well, at least TK didn't cry about it, eh? ^^;;
TK really admires his big, cool
brother. A lot of people do. ^_~ He feels that Matt can do anything. He
thinks that beating Matt at a video game would be a big accomplishment.
Awww, how suhweet. ^_^
02: Woah! TK shot up like a
weed! ^_^ He's now almost as tall as his big bro. and apparently popular
with the girls. Just like his brother. ^~ He's in the same class as Davis
and Kari, which is 5th Grade, Class A. (7-A in the dub. =P) Anyhoo, TK and
his mom, Nancy, have moved in an apartment complex in Odaiba.
Lemme just say this. TK's voice is
way deep. I was shocked by this. Everyone was. ^^; But now everybody's
used to it. Yay!
TK and Davis were once like the
'Matt and Tai' of 02 until Ken came along. Who's TK like? Prolly Matt, but some say Tai.
When Ken did come along (Hurrah!), he was stuck with Cody. (Dun get me wrong,
I like Cody and all.) Cody and TK became somewhat the 'Joe' and Izzy' and
became fighting partners in DNA digivolution. ^_^ Word has it that TK has a cra-ush on Kari!
(Everyone: Ooooh!!) You could so tell in 'Guardian of Light' or
whatever that eppy's called. Takari is definitely all the way. But I feel
sorry for Davis. =( (Yes, I like Davis. A LOT of people hate him. ^^;)
The Dad
![AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! *has a heart attack*](images/dad.gif)
- Name:
Mr. Ishida
- Age: Around
late 30s.
- Occupation: An
exec or reporter at the Shimbashi OR Fujiyama TV Station
- Current
Hometown: Odaiba,
Japan
- Lives With: Matt
- Hair Color: Brown
- Eye Color: Brown
- Voice Actors: Unknown
- Attire: A
white-ish long-sleeved shirt, a blue tie, and brown pants.
- He wears an
overcoat in 02.
- 1st Appearance:
"Flower Power"
-
- Personality/Info: Well,
at first that Mr. Ishida might seem a bit hostile. His appearance might
make you think that and his sorta deep voice. He wakes up Matt but
pushing him with his foot. ^^;; Mr. Ishida really is a nice guy though. He
wants Matt to be safe and sound. He told Matt to stay at the warehouse
with Gabumon to stay out of trouble. Some people might think that he's a
bit mean. Well, he isn't really. When people saw the part on the eppy
"Wizardmon's Gift, they were thinking "Oh gosh, Matt's dad is
such a meanie! All Matt wanted to do was help, and he blows up in his face
about it!" ^^;; Well, maybe not in those exact thoughts. Anyhoo,
can't you see why he was a tad bit mad? He wanted his son to be safe and
to keep a low profile, but as you can see, that didn't happen.
-
- Now, people might
think that Mr. Ishida likes TK better. Mr. Ishida was being mad at Matt,
blah blah blah, but then TK comes around and poof! He's Mr. Nice Guy. ^^ I
thought that was perfectly normal. He was happy to see his son! Who
wouldn't? Remember, TK doesn't live in Odaiba. TK prolly doesn't see his
dad much and vice versa. You can see why Mr. Ishida had a 'heart change.'
^_^
-
- Okay, enough about
the Bad Guy/Good Guy thing. ^^ Let's get down to more facts. Ahem. It
seems that Mr. Ishida is a workaholic, don't you think? In the beginning
of "Flower Power," it seemed as if he was checking out of work,
but then all of a sudden, Charlie come running by! You know Charlie,
right? He was... that guy. ^^;; Anyhoo, Charlie was all "Ahh, there's
a problem!" and Mr. Ishida was all "Okay, I'll help!" Well,
maybe not in those exact words, but something like that...
-
- Speaking of the
beginning of "Flower Power." it seemed that Mr. Ishida does have
a sensitive side. It was so sweet when he was looking at a family
picture in his wallet. I was squealing so much at Yama. Well anyhoo,
that proves that he's a bit sensitive. And that also proves that he
has a leather wallet.
-
- 02 Update!!! Okay,
let's see... *reads her notes* Still a work-a-holic. ^^; I think he works
at the Fujiyama TV Station. The one where Myotismon held as his secret
lair. I'm confused now. Pfft. Oh well.
-
- And he's a NICE
GUY. Not mean, as was your first impression of him. ^_^ He was nice enough
to take Matt, Tai, and Izzy to a camping trip. (The Rugged Camping Men.
Lol. ^_^) Oh, and he knows all about
the whole DigiDestined thing, so don't go "Ahh, busted!" And
he was nice enough to drive Tai, Izzy, TK, Davis, Kari, Yolei, and Cody
home. And he also gave Matt money for him and Jun to go home on bus.
How... nice.
The Mom
![Here is Nancy, lookin' very serious.](images/nancy.jpg)
- Name: Natsuko
"Nancy"
Takaishi
- Age:
Around 30s
- Occupation:
journalist for the newspaper
- Current
Hometown: Kawada
in 01 and Odaiba in 02
- Lives With: TK
- Hair Color: Light
Brown
- Eye Color: Blue
- Voice Actresses:
The same
one as Petrafina from Flint! Hear the resemblance?? (02)
- Attire: A
black tank and beige pants w/ a purple sweater wrapped around her waist.
(01)
- She now wears a
Matt-like shirt (^_^;) covered by a purpley overcoat. This is during the
winter of 02.
- 1st Appearance: "Flower
Power"
-
- Personality/Info:
Well, there's not too much said about the mom. Here we go. Okay, let's
see... mmmm.. Well, it seams that Ms. Takaishi is just the typical mom.
She obviously loves her sons very much. It also seems that she still cares
for Mr. Ishida as well. I guess the reason why they got a divorce was that
things didn't work out so well. Well, I guess that's kinda obvious. ^^;;
Anyhoo, you can see that fact in "Flower Power." She and TK were
watching the news. TK was saying that they had to go to Odaiba to help
Matt and dad. Ms. Takaishi didn't agree at first, but she was imagining
Mr. Ishida's face on the TV. He turned around and smiled, and Ms. Takaishi
gasped and finally said okay. *sniffle* Ya know what? It'd be so cool if
some person made a site about Mr. Ishida and Ms. Takaishi. It could be
called "Together Again" or something. Even though they will
never hook up again, it's fun to think. ^_^
-
- Oh, and one last
thing. Ms. Takaishi feels that she has lost Matt and Mr. Ishida. It's
true. Remember the part when TK was riding with Joe to Odaiba, and she was
chasing after them? When TK was gone, she said "I've lost all of them
now..." *sniffle* So so sad. Well, just though you wanted to know.
^_^
-
- Yesh! More info
about her from 02! ^_^ All I know is that she might be a journalist or
something like that. She did an article about the historical significance
on toilet paper. Her sons must be so proud.
-
- She's also very helpful during the
tough times in 02. She was able to provide much information. Whee.
-
- The Grandma
- on the Mom's Side
!["You're selling ties??"](images/grandma.jpg)
Name: Grandma
Takaishi (Use your logic and figure it out)
Age:
60s, maybe
Current
Hometown: Rural
area of Odaiba, I suppose
Hair Color: Grey
Eye Color: Not
sure. She's a Brock. =P
Voice Actresses:
Unknown
Attire: Blue
head wrap, white sweater, striped shirt, brown pants
1st Appearance: "Bokura
no Wargame (Our Wargame)" movie
Personality/Info:
You know those grandmas who would be suspected to own a bunch of cats?? Well,
this grandma is one of them. Only without the cats. She's a nice, old lady, as
most would say. She's hard of hearing, after watching that moment with her and
Tai on the phone. ^^;
She lives in the country,
far away from her daughter, Natsuko. How is she a Takaishi? Well, let me show
you. TK's Grandpa in France looks remarkably like Mr. Ishida, so it's safe to
say that he IS an Ishida. Grandpa Ishida's wife lives with him in France, so the
Grandma I'm talking about right now HAS to be a Takaishi. It's all in the logic.
^_~
Grandma Takaishi loves her
grandsons, and they obviously love her since TK was willing to give her a
backrub. *pause* She might be one of those bossy-but-nice kinds of grandmas. ^^;
Also, she trusts her grandsons a lot, since she allowed them to roam across a
place unattended in search of a computer. That or she doesn't really care, which
would make her a bad grandma. But then again, she's one of those eccentric 'cat
ladies.'
Gah, now I'm just confusing
you and myself. O_o
- The Grandpa
- on the Dad's side
-
- [Insert picture here. It'll come
soon, I promise.]
Name: Grandpa
Ishida
Age:
50s-60s
Current
Hometown: Paris,
France
Hair Color: Blonde
(He uses coloring!)
Eye Color: Blue
Voice Actors: Unknown
Attire: Brown
jacket, scarf, brown/beige pants, goggles (for
his motorcycle)
1st Appearance: "Digimon
World Tour Pt. II"
Personality/Info: If
I had to use one word to describe him, it would be 'lively.' He certainly does
not act his age. ^_^;
He first appears on
"Digimon World Tour Pt. II" to help Tai and TK with the whole 'save
the world' thing. And he makes his entrance on his motorcycle. *sweatdrop* Now
how many grandpas do you know ride a motorcycle? *pause* Yeah, I didn't think
so.
Also, there is a
Grandma Ishida, she just couldn't make it. She was at home doing her job as a
housewife; the plumbing and fixing the roof, and other chores a grandma should
always do. Yeah. ^_^
By the way, I do have a
hypothesis why this Grandpa is on the Ishida side. First of all, Mr. Ishida
(Matt's dad) looks a lot like this grandpa. So I think it's okay and reasonable
to say that they're father and son. Yeah. That's my logic. Use it. (Lol) I'm
sticking to my thoughts, so let's just call him Grandpa Ishida, even tho the
'others' don't call him that, okay? Okay!
Mr. Ishida does not act
very Japanese, if he even is Japanese. (Nationality does not matter in anime!
Yeeah! ^_~) He acts French! *grins* He even has the cool accent and customs.
He's very serious about his home, (Which is France cuz he lives there). He got
very upset to see the gates of Versailles Palace open and quickly rushed in,
ready to fight the enemy and defend his country.
Grandpa Ishida is one of
those 'hearty, teasing' kinds of grandpappies, in my opinion. ^^; Like when he
asked that TK had to sing 'Frere Jacques' (Spelling is horrendous, I know.) every time
they see each other. Hee! ^_^
Weeell, that's... all.
^^;; But don't fret! I know that more will be added. Ta-ta now!
