Digimon, also known in the media as Digimon: Digital Monsters (which is also the chorus of the popular opening themesong), includes virtual pet toys similar to Pocket Monsters PokeWalkers alongside anime, card games, manga, and video games. Digimon focused on monsters living inside of a “Digital World”, which a parallel universe that came into being from Earth’s various telecommunication networks. Often these Digimon are raised by humans called “Digidestined” or “Tamers” (“Chosen Children” in the Japanese versions of the show), and they work together to defeat evil Digimon and human villains who are trying to destroy the fabric of the Digital world or use it for their own means.
The franchise was first created in 1997 as a series of virtual pets, akin to—and influenced in style by—the contemporary Tamagotchi or nano Giga Pet toys. The creatures were first designed to look cute and iconic even on the devices’ small screens; later developments had them created with a harder-edged style influenced by American comics. The franchise gained momentum with its first anime incarnation, Digimon Adventure, and an early video game, Digimon World, both released in 1999. Several seasons of the anime and films based on them have aired, and the video game series has expanded into genres such as role-playing, racing, fighting, and MMORPGs. Other media forms have also been released.
