| - Takuya begins the series as a typical "goggle boy", (only he wears a hat underneath his gray and square goggles)—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 Spirit Evolutions are as follows:
*
* Rookie: Flamemon, a small humanoid with goat-like features and red hair. He temporarily becomes this form for an episode in the Real World
* Human Hybrid: Agunimon (Agnimon),a demon man digimon. He resembles a human wearing dragon armor that is reminiscent of Greymon
* Beast Hybrid: BurningGreymon (Vritramon), A demon dragon digimon. A vaguely humanoid dragon with an Arm Cannon on each wrist
* Advance Hybrid: Aldamon, a demon man digimon. Basically, Agunimon's head and hands on BurningGreymon's body.
* Zeta Hybrid: EmperorGreymon (KaiserGreymon), A dragon warrior digimon. More or less a heavily armored WarGreymon with a huge sword that doubles as a crossbow.
* Badass: All of his Digimon forms
* BFS: Emperor Greymon's sword, which also acts as a BFG (Dragonfire Crosssbow) and a fire attack (Pyro Dragons).
* Crucified Hero Shot
* Dark Is Not Evil: Near all his Digimon forms are demon types.
* Expy: His actions, personality, goggles and role are of the Tai trademark. He even has a very similar character arc:
* Starts out as a hotheaded Idiot Hero, he then has a close brush with death and learns to think, becoming an effective leader in the process.
* Likewise, some of his evolutions are expies of Greymon and his evolutions. Vritramon was renamed BurningGreymon in the dub to drive home the reference.
* Goggles Do Nothing: Yet again. But he does use them properly.
* The Hero
* Idiot Hero: A stunning demonstration of this was the way he handled Duskmon's first and second appearances. Koji nearly freaked out about it. His Character Development does away with this trope
* Heroic BSOD: After his stunning loss against Duskmon, Takuya enters one. It takes a reminder of his origins for him to snap out of it.
* He's Back: When he recovers from his Heroic BSOD and returns to the Digital World.
* Hey, It's That Voice!: Michael Reisz previously voiced Matt in Digimon Adventure. You have to listen closely to hear it, but it's definitely there. In the Japanese, he plays Hokutomaru.
* His Japanese voice-actor Junko Takeuchi is also quite famous her portrayal of a certain orange-jumpsuit-wearing ninja.
* Hot-Blooded: Though noticeably less so than Tai or Davis, sitting at a sort of half-way point between them and Takato.
* Law of Chromatic Superiority
* Jumped At the Call
* Not a Game: Takuya eventually realizes that he must put more effort into his responsibilities as a legendary warrior, and make a greater effort to safeguard the lives of his friends.
* The Other Darrin: In the Frontier movie dub, he's voiced by Dave Wittenberg, although he pretty much sounds nearly identical to Michael Reisz
* Our Demons Are Different: Agunimon and Aldamon are demon man digimon.
* Our Dragons Are Different: Burning Greymon is based on Vritra, an evil dragon in Vedic folklore. Aldamon carries some of these features.
* Personality Powers
* Playing with Fire
* Red Oni, Blue Oni: The red to Koji's blue.
* And keeping up the unofficial Digimon tradition of the Red Oni being the group leader, wearing goggles that have no purpose beyond a fashion statement though in Takuya's defense, he does use his goggles when he ends up in water and having Brown Eyes.
