***Digimon*** ([Japanese](/source/Japanese_language): デジモン, [Hepburn](/source/Hepburn_romanization): *Dejimon*; branded as ***Digimon: Digital Monsters***), short for "Digital Monsters" (デジタルモンスター *Dejitaru Monsutā*), is a Japanese [media franchise](/source/Media_franchise), which encompasses [virtual pet](/source/Virtual_pet) toys, [anime](/source/Anime), [manga](/source/Manga), [video games](/source/Video_game), films, and a [trading card game](/source/Trading_card_game). The franchise focuses on the eponymous creatures who inhabit a digital world, a [parallel universe](/source/Parallel_universes_in_fiction) which originated from Earth's various communication networks.

The franchise was created in 1997 as [Digital Monster](/source/Digital_Monster), a series of digital pets, and it was intended as the masculine counterpart to [Tamagotchi](/source/Tamagotchi). The creatures were designed to look cute and iconic on the devices' small screens. Later developments had them created with a harder-edged style, which was influenced by American [comics](/source/Comics). The franchise gained momentum with an early video game, *[Digimon World](/source/Digimon_World)*, originally released in Japan in January 1999. Several anime series and films have been released; [the video game series](/source/List_of_Digimon_video_games) has expanded into various genres, such as [role-playing](/source/Role-playing_video_game), [racing](/source/Racing_video_game), [fighting](/source/Fighting_game), and [MMORPGs](/source/Massively_multiplayer_online_role-playing_game). The franchise generated over $500 million in sales by 2000.[3]

## Conception and creation

Further information: [Digital Monster](/source/Digital_Monster)

Virtual pet model distributed on the Japanese market by [Bandai](/source/Bandai),[4]

The *Digimon* franchise began as a series of virtual pets created by WiZ and Bandai, intended as a masculine counterpart to the more female-oriented [Tamagotchi](/source/Tamagotchi) pets.[1][2] It was released in June 1997[4] with the name [Digital Monster](/source/Digital_Monster),[5] shortened to *Digimon*.[6][7] This device shows to players a [virtual pet](/source/Virtual_pet) composed entirely of data and designed to play and fight.[4][5][8][9] In February 1998, the *DigiMon* fighting game was announced. It was developed by Rapture Technologies.[10] The [one-shot](/source/One-shot_(comics)) [manga](/source/Manga) *[C'mon Digimon](/source/C'mon_Digimon)*, designed by Tenya Yabuno, was published in the Japanese magazine [V-Jump](/source/V-Jump) by [Shueisha](/source/Shueisha) in 1997.[11]

A second generation of virtual pets was marketed six months after the launch of the first, followed by a third in 1998.[12] Each player starts with a baby-level digital creature that has a limited number of attacks and transformations[13] and to make the creature stronger by training and nourishing the creature;[4][5] when the player is successful in a workout, the Digimon becomes strong, when the player fails, the Digimon becomes weak.[4][5] Two devices can be connected, allowing two players to battle with their respective creatures, an innovation at the time,[4] however, the battle is only possible from the moment the creature is in the child level or bigger.[4] Playgrounds and subways were where the majority of users of the apparatus were concentrated; the virtual pet was banned in some Asian schools, being considered by parents and teachers as very noisy and violent.[14] The first Digimon were created by Japanese designer Kenji Watanabe, influenced by American [comics](/source/Comics), which were beginning to gain popularity in Japan, and as such began to make his characters look stronger and "cool." Other types of Digimon, which until the year 2000 totalled 279,[15][16] came from extensive discussions and collaborations between the Bandai company members.[17]

The original Digital Monster model that was released in 1997 sold 14 million units worldwide, including 13 million units in Japan and 1 million overseas, up until March 2004.[18] By 2005, more than 24 million Digital Monster units had been sold worldwide.[19]

## Premise

Several media in the franchise are contained within their own [continuity](/source/Continuity_(fiction)); however, they all share a similar setting and premise. For instance, most *Digimon* stories begin with a human child, who comes into contact with a Digimon. This generally occurs either through an accidental entrance into the so-called Digital World[20] or an encounter with a Digimon who has come into the human world.[21] The child or children then often find themselves equipped with a "digivice", which is a device modelled after the series' virtual pets; this device enables them to empower their partner Digimon.

While some Digimon act like wild beasts, there are many who form small societies and follow governing bodies.[22][23] Digimon can change through evolution (or "digivolution" in most English-language dubs), where they absorb additional data that allows them to change forms. This process is normally linear, but there are other methods, depending upon the media within the franchise. For example, "Jogress" (a [portmanteau](/source/Portmanteau) of "joint progress"; "DNA Digivolution" in most English-language dubs)[24] is when two or more Digimon combine into a single being. Though evolution can occur naturally, Digimon can progress into stronger forms more quickly, when they are partnered with a human.

#### Distribution and localization

In the United States, the first three series/seasons that made up *Digimon: Digital Monsters* first aired on [Fox Kids](/source/Fox_Kids) from August 14, 1999 to June 8, 2002. The localized series was produced by [Saban Entertainment](/source/Saban_Entertainment), which was acquired by [The Walt Disney Company](/source/The_Walt_Disney_Company) during the show's Fox Kids run. Some scenes from the original shows were modified or omitted in order to comply with Fox's [standards and practices](/source/Standards_and_practices). The show also featured more jokes and added dialogue, along with a completely different musical score. As a cross-promotional stunt, 2001 and 2002 saw *Digi-Bowl* specials co-produced with [Fox Sports](/source/Fox_Sports_(United_States)); *NFL on Fox* commentator [Terry Bradshaw](/source/Terry_Bradshaw) provided interstitial segments in-between episodes as if the episodes were actually a football game.[26]

Disney's acquisition of Saban resulted in *Digimon* airing on Disney's TV networks and programming blocks. Reruns of the show began airing on the [cable network](/source/Cable_network) [ABC Family](/source/Freeform_(TV_channel)) on March 4, 2002,[27] while the fourth series/season, *[Digimon Frontier](/source/Digimon_Frontier)* (which serves as the final season of *Digimon: Digital Monsters*), premiered on the [Disney's Animation Weekdays](/source/Disney's_Animation_Weekdays) block on [UPN](/source/UPN),[28] and the [ABC Kids](/source/ABC_Kids_(TV_programming_block)) block on [ABC](/source/American_Broadcasting_Company).[29] UPN aired the series until late August 2003, when they severed their ties to Disney.[28] *Frontier* also aired in reruns on ABC Family and [Toon Disney](/source/Toon_Disney) under the [Jetix](/source/Jetix) branding.

The original stories are heavily abridged, though on rare occasions events play out differently from the anime. The Chinese-language version was published by [Rightman Publishing Ltd.](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rightman&action=edit&redlink=1) [[zh](https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%AD%A3%E6%96%87%E7%A4%BE)] in Hong Kong. Yu also wrote *[D-Cyber](/source/D-Cyber)*.

#### Panini

The Italian publishing company [Panini](/source/Panini_Comics) published *Digimon* titles in several ways in different countries. Germany had their own adaptations of episodes, the UK reprinted the Dark Horse titles and translated some of the German adaptations of *Adventure 02* episodes. Eventually the UK comics had their own original stories, which appeared in both the UK's *Digimon Magazine* and the UK Fox Kids companion magazine *Wickid*. These original stories roughly followed the [continuity](/source/Continuity_(fiction)) of *Adventure 02*. When the comic switched to the *Tamers* series the storylines adhered to continuity more strictly; sometimes it expanded on subject matter not covered by the original Japanese anime (such as [Mitsuo Yamaki](/source/Mitsuo_Yamaki)'s past) or the English adaptations of the television shows and movies (such as Ryo's story or the movies that remained undubbed until 2005). In a money saving venture, the original stories were later removed from *Digimon Magazine*, which returned to printing translated German adaptations of *Tamers* episodes. Eventually, both magazines were cancelled.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

It was succeeded by *Digimon ReArise*, which launched June 2018 in Japan and October 2019 in America.[60]

### Card game

The Digimon Collectible Card Game is a card game based on Digimon, first introduced in Japan in 1997 and published by Bandai. The third season (*[Digimon Tamers](/source/Digimon_Tamers)*) utilized this aspect of the franchise by making the card game an integral part of the season. Versions of the card game are also included in some of the Digimon video games including *Digital Card Battle* and *[Digimon World 3](/source/Digimon_World_3)*.

During the fourth anime (*[Digimon Frontier](/source/Digimon_Frontier)*), Bandai created the *D-Tector Card Game* to tie in to their own D-Tector virtual pet toys. This was a West-only card game. From February 25, 2011 to September 28, 2012, *Digimon Jintrix* was an online card game supported by physical card releases. It was followed up by the mobile game *Digimon Crusader*, which lasted from December 2012 to December 2017.[63] In 2020 a new card game was launched to coincide with *[Digimon Adventure:](/source/Digimon_Adventure_(2020_TV_series))* using a new system, this was released in the West in January 2021.[64]
