Profile

Yuu is the younger brother of Amano Nene. While growing up, he loved other people and creatures and didn't want to hurt anyone, but had to hold himself back to prevent hurting others and came to resent it.

Yuu's first encounter with the Digital World was several years prior to the commencement of the series; while hiding from everyone in sorrow from the death of his grandmother, Damemon first appeared before him, and Skull Knightmon drew him into digital space, had him register his black Xros Loader, and promised to come back for him one day when the "game" was "ready" for him.

Digimon Xros Wars & The Evil Death General and the Seven Kingdoms

Amano Nene was led to believe that Yuu was lost or trapped somewhere in the Digital World, as discussed in XW19, and so was working with Skull Knightmon to try and find him, or so she said; in reality, Skull Knightmon was entirely aware of Yuu's whereabouts and used that knowledge against Nene to coerce her into helping him. Once he came into possession of the Darkness Loader, however, he went back on his deal and refused to return Yuu.

During Kudou Taiki's absence from the Digital World, Skull Knightmon began allowing Yuu to "play the game" as a human general to lead the Bagra Army. Yuu was under the mistaken impression that the Digital World was little more than a game by nature, that no-one would actually die, and were he to kill Taiki or Nene they would still be alive and well in the Real World. Taiki and Nene's best efforts to convince him otherwise failed, if partially because of the influence of Damemon and Skull Knightmon, and he simply continued to cause the deaths of Digimon en masse gleefully. He first revealed himself to Xros Heart in Honey Land in XW37.

His fight with Taiki in XW47 caused him to have doubts about what he'd been led to believe, and with the death of Damemon from wounds sustained in the battle of Hell's Field, he fully realised the magnitude of his actions, but was then captured by Dark Knightmon and used to fuel the Darkness Loader. He was rescued by Taiki and, in the final battle against Darkness Bagramon in the real world, transformed the Darkness Loader into a yellow Xros Loader and led the Xros Heart charge against the bulk of Bagramon's forces as a General.

Digimon Xros Wars: The Young Hunters Who Leapt Through Time

In the year since, he has joined Taiki's Xros Heart street basketball team along with Akashi Tagiru. He is in the same class as Tagiru, and thinks him to be an airhead at times. As a result of deeply regretting his actions under Skull Knightmon's influence and his desire to atone for them, he objects strongly to anyone who treats anything Digimon-related such as Digimon hunting as merely a game, trivial or to be exploited for personal gain, and is very vocal about his distaste; he has come into conflict with Tagiru and Mashimo Hideaki on this matter on several occasions.

He currently lives in a massive apartment alone, as Nene has since moved to Hong Kong to work as an idol and his other relatives are overseas at the moment.

Digimon Xros Wars DIGIMON EXPO'25 Reading Drama

Yuu and Damemon showed up after Akashi Tagiru boasted to the audience and criticized Tagiru for thinking he was the only Digimon Hunter around. Tagiru was surprised the Old Clock Shop Man called more people, which Yuu and Damemmon confirmed, the latter pointing out the Old Clock Shop Man would never trust Tagiru and Gumdramon alone with a hunt, which angered Gumdramon. Said Old Clock Shop Man then showed up, stopped their fight, and explained to Tagiru that they had leapt through time 15 years after their final battle, which shocked Tagiru, but he continued his explanation nonetheless, saying that several human-loving Digimon had gathered there but their spirit had caused space-time to distort, which caused a Digimon to get lost and wander around the area. He asked them all to join forces to hunt that Digimon. Tagiru wondered if that "all" meant it wasn't just them, which Kudou Taiki confirmed as he arrived on the scene. He was followed by Aonuma Kiriha, Shoutmon, Dorulumon and Hinomoto Akari, all of which said something about the situation. Tagiru then wondered why Tsurugi Zenjirou wasn't with them and Taiki and Akari answered, in perfect harmony, he was too much of a pain so they left him behind. Tagiru agreed with that but then wondered why Amano Nene wasn't there either. Yuu explained that, during their final battle, Kiriha had fought alongside legendary heroes that were all pretty girls, which left Nene in a sour mood. He then asked Kiriha to do something about it but Kiriha just bashfully asked him not to talk about his personal matters so lightly. Taiki said Kiriha was the type to be surrounded by girls, which annoyed him as Taiki was exactly that himself. However, Yuu pointed out that Taiki may attract women, but he had eyes only for his "main wife", Akari, and he came across as far more steady than Kiriha. Taiki was left shocked by that, Shoutmon pointed out Yuu's tongue had gotten even sharper since they last met, and Akari was extremely happy about being Taiki's "main wife", as Dorulumon pointed out. Kiriha felt no one took his side.

The Old Clock Shop Man then interrupted their conversation to explain the target of their hunt: the illusory Digimon, Sakuradamon. Yuu thought that meant it was a police Digimon. The Old Clock Shop Man said that had nothing to do with this Sakuradamon, which was a Sakurada Digimon, something Akari had no idea about. Gumdramon thought it had to be a really savage Digimon to bring so many people to hunt it, but the Old Clock Shop Man said it was actually a very good-natured Digimon, just one that was very picky about its restaurants and would snap and cause an angry mess if it found a bad one. Taiki realized that meant Sakuradamon could cause lots of trouble, something that was proven true immediately as they heard an explosion coming from Jinbōchō. Said explosion was indeed caused by Sakuradamon, which Akari and Tagiru pointed out was both huge and making a very scary face, which made the latter wonder how this was meant to be a good-natured Digimon, which the Old Clock Shop Man pointed out had to be caused by a really bad restaurant, one Yuu never wanted to go to. Sakuradamon left towards Suidōbashi. Tagiru said they had to hunt it and Taiki called everyone to Super Evolve. As Tagiru Chikara! played, Tagiru, Yuu, Taiki and Kiriha super evolved their Partner Digimon (Gumdramon > Arresterdramon, Damemon > Tuwarmon, Shoutmon/Shoutmon (King Ver.) > Omega Shoutmon, Metal Greymon > Zeke Greymon). However, despite all attacking at once (including Dorulumon), they couldn't hurt Sakuradamon at all. Arresterdramon was attacked separatedly but was saved by Mervamon. Arresterdramon wondered where she came from and Akari pointed out she Reloaded her, as she had a Xros Loader of her own now and brought everyone's Digimon with her. Yuu pointed out that Nene giving Akari her Digimon meant she must be really mad at Kiriha, but Kiriha just asked him to postpone that conversation and called to Taiki, who himself told everyone to go for a Great Xros. Tagiru wondered if they could do it and the Old Clock Shop Man confirmed there were no restrictions on Reloading anymore as DigiQuartz had been eliminated. This made Tagiru realize that Taiki had had Shoutmon and Dorulumon out together all this time. Arresterdramon was overjoyed he got to DigiXros with his king. Taiki called everyone to give their power to Shoutmon. With WE ARE Xros Heart! (ver. X7) playing, Taiki (Omega Shoutmon, Ballistamon, Dorulumon), Kiriha (Zeke Greymon), Akari (Sparrowmon, Starmons, Mervamon), Yuu (Tuwarmon) and Tagiru (Arresterdramon) Great Xrossed their Digimon into Shoutmon X10. Tagiru was impressed by the new DigiXros and Yuu pointed out it was a shame they couldn't show the audience what it actually looked like. Shoutmon X10 then used his Tens Victorize which one-shot Sakuradamon, Taiki called Tagiru to capture it once it turned into data, and Tagiru did so. The Old Clock Shop Man then took Sakuradamon's data so it could be reborn as a Digitama in the future.

With the battle finished, Kiriha pointed out they went through a harsh battle that would've been impossible if any of them were missing, though Yuu pointed out he would've been more at ease with his sister there. Kiriha swore he'd properly explain himself to Nene, which made Damemon think he was no good too. This made everyone laugh. Everyone then left.
