'''Takuya Kanbara''' is the main character in the [[Digimon]] [[anime]] series "[[Digimon Frontier]]". In this series, a group of chosen human children are given the ability to turn into [[Digimon (creature)|Digimon]]. Takuya is the leader of this group, and is given the "''Spirits of Fire''" at the beginning of the series.

==Description==
Takuya's story starts when he receives a mysterious SMS message on his mobile phone one afternoon. The message instructs him to go to a subway station, where a [[Trailmon]] took him and four other human children into the [[Digital World]].

Takuya begins the series as a typical "goggle boy" - energetic and athletic, but tending to act without thinking and very stubborn. He has a strong sense of justice, and tries to use his power to do what he believes is right. His hot-headed personality often leads to him arguing with [[Koji Minamoto]], another of [[Digimon Frontier]]'s main characters, however they learn to respect each other toward the middle of the series, after their first encounter with [[Duskmon]], and become good friends and partners in battle.{{DEFAULTSORT:}} He acts like an older brother to [[Tommy Himi]], who reminds him of his real brother Shinya.

Takuya also makes an appearance in a special chapter of the Digimon [[manga]] [[Digimon Adventure V-Tamer 01|V-Tamer 01]], where he teams up with [[List of characters in Digimon Adventure V-Tamer 01#Taichi Yagami|Tai]] to fight [[List of characters in Digimon Adventure V-Tamer 01#Metamormon|Metamormon]].

==Digimon forms==

===Flamemon===
[[Image:Flamon.jpg|thumb|100px|Flamemon (''Flamon'')]]

Flamemon is Agunimon and BurningGreymon's in training form. When Takuya returns to the human world after his first encounter with [[Duskmon]], he becomes this half-beast half-human Digimon. In this form, he could not utilize his true power because his fighting spirit had been destroyed. However, after seeing himself in a [[time paradox]], he overcame his fear and returned to the [[Digital World]] as Agunimon.

This is the digimon form that Takuya becomes when he uses the Human Spirit of Fire. The name "Agunimon" comes from "[[Agni]]", the [[Hinduism|Hindu]] god of fire.

Agunimon appears in the very first episode of [[Digimon Frontier]], when [[Takuya Kanbara|Takuya Kanbara]] first finds and uses the Human Spirit of Fire. Takuya was the first human to assume a [[Digimon (creature)|Digimon]] form and in his first battle defeated Ultimate leveled digimon [[Cerberusmon]]. Takuya continues to use this form in many other battles against the evil members of the [[Legendary Warriors]]. Later, when Takuya gains the ability to assume more powerful forms, this form is used less and less in battle. agunimon is seen alongside [[lobomon|lobomon]] leaping through the small asteroid belt that surrounds [[cherubimon|cherubimon]]'s palace

'''Attacks'''
* '''Pyro Punch''' (''Burning Salamander''): Agunimon releases a flame dragon from his fists.
* '''Pyro Darts''' (''Fire Darts''): Agunimon throws small pins of fire at his target from his gauntlet.
* '''Pyro Tornado''' (''Salamander Break''): Agunimon uses a blazing cyclone to spin himself around quickly, and then strikes the enemy with a roundhouse kick.

BurningGreymon is the form Takuya assumes when he uses the Beast Spirit of Fire. Takuya first obtained this Spirit from a [[Shamanmon|shamanmon]], who had been possessed by the spirit's wild power. At first, Takuya also had problems controlling this Beast Spirit, and even attempted to destroy the other [[DigiDestined]] with its power. He almost deleted [[Tommy Himi]] in this form until a tear drop from Tommy landed on his eye. It wasn't until [[Gigasmon|gigasmon]] kidnapped [[Tommy Himi|Tommy]] that Takuya gained the courage to use his beast spirit's power to defeat [[Gigasmon]].

'''Attacks'''
* '''Pyro Barrage''' (''Corona Blaster''): BurningGreymon fires a solar heatwave laser from the "Rudori Tarpana" cannons on his arms.
* '''Wildfire Tsunami''' (''Flame Storm''): BurningGreymon surrounds himself in a fiery aura which he then releases as a tempest of flame and wind.
* '''Fire Below''': This attack is only seen in [[Digimon Rumble Arena 2]]. This makes BurningGreymon jump into the air while flapping his wings, firing rapid small blasts from his Rudori Tarpana cannons. It does a lot of damage and up to 12 hits.

===Aldamon===

By combining the Human and Beast Spirits of Fire, Takuya can become Aldamon. Many of Agunimon and BurningGreymon's features can be recognized in Aldamon. Takuya obtains the power to combine his two spirits when he received energy from [[Seraphimon]]'s Digi-Egg during his fight with [[ShadowSeraphimon|shadowseraphimon]] who was digivolved from mercurymon using the celestial digimon [[seraphimon|seraphimon]]'s data. aldamon later dealt the final blow to sakakumon after convincing the other [[digi-destined|digi-destined]] that they shoud trust their digimon sences, and not the human anxieties that had them blasting each other with various attacks.

'''Attacks'''
* '''Atomic Inferno''' (''Brahma Sutra''): The cannons on Aldamon's hands release thousands of rocketing fireball missiles at the enemy.
* '''Solar Wind Destroyer''' (''Brahma Shil''): Aldamon raises his hands in the air and gathers energy into a dense, star-like fire ball which he hurls towards the enemy.

===EmperorGreymon===

Takuya attains this form when he Unifies the Spirits of Fire, Ice, Wind, Earth and Wood. This first occurs when Takuya and [[Koji Minamoto|Koji]] are fighting against the corrupted [[Cherubimon]] at the ''Rose Morning Star''. He also fights [[Dynasmon]] many times in this form.

The sword [[EmperorGreymon]] wields is called the "Dragon Soul Sword" (龍魂剣 ''Ryūgonken'').

'''Attacks'''
* '''Dragonfire Crossbow''' (炎龍撃 ''Enryuugeki/Flaming Dragon Shot''): EmperorGreymon's sword gathers energy and transforms/opens up into a crossbow-like weapon. He then fires a massive burst of fire which causes an atomic blast.
* '''Pyro Dragons''' (九頭龍陣 ''Kuzuryuujin/Nine-headed Dragon Formation''): EmperorGreymon drives his ''Dragon Soul Sword'' into the ground and generates nine fiery dragons that he sends at his target.
* '''Inferno Fist''': He fires up his fist and punches the enemy

===Susanoomon===
[[Image:Susanoomon.jpg|right|thumb|Susanoomon (スサノオモン)]]
[[Susanoomon]] is created when all twenty spirits left by the [[Ancient Warriors]] are fused together, and possesses the combined powers of all 10 [[Legendary Warriors]]. The name "Susanoomon" comes from the [[Shinto]] Storms God [[Susanoo]]. He somewhat resembles Omnimon from the first season. This shows a possible connection between EmperorGreymon and MagnaGarurumon's mega DNA digivolution, and if Susanoomon is AncientGreymon and AncientGarurumon's DNA form as well. However, there was never any confirmed connection between the two. He's by far the strongest of the Legendary Warriors, and the only Digimon in the series strong enough to fight Lucemon (in both of his modes).

When [[Koichi Kimura|Koichi]] sacrificed himself to save the others from [[Lucemon Chaos Mode]], he gave his Spirits of Darkness to his brother Koji. Takuya and [[Koji Minamoto|Koji]] then brought all twenty Spirits together and became Susanoomon. In this form, they fought against [[Lucemon]] twice - the first time against [[Lucemon Chaos Mode]], and then again to stop [[Lucemon Shadow Lord Mode]] from entering the human world. In this second fight against Lucemon, all five children combined to form Susanoomon and was able to penetrate the shadow-sphere where [[Lucemon Larva]] was hiding. In the final battle, Susanoomon managed to shatter the shadow-sphere, destroy [[Lucemon Shadow Lord Mode]], and then split into the 10 separate [[Legendary Warriors]] and destroyed Lucemon for good.

'''Attacks'''
* '''Celestial Blade''' (''Amanohabakiri''): Susanoomon fires a blade of energy from his sword that can be used to cut his enemies in two. The sword he uses (which also resembles a gun) is enormous (it's bigger than Susanoomon); the blade of energy it generates is at least thousands of feet long.
* '''Heaven's Thunder''' (''Yakusanoikazuchi''): Susanoomon creates clouds which fire enormous bolts of energy (which resemble dragons) down onto his enemies.
