Digimon Season 1-5
Joe Kido
In spite of his constant worrying and his tendency to feel "allergic" to everything around him, Joe has a strong sense of responsibility. In many instances, he takes it upon himself to be the voice of reason within the group and tries, often without success, to steer the other DigiDestined away from reckless action. He is often perceived as being a "stick in the mud" and his "safety first" attitude is often the source of teasing from other characters, especially Gomamon, his Digimon partner who feels he should lighten up and look on the bright side of things.
However, his sense of responsibility sometimes leads him into selfless and brave actions. His Crest of Reliability first activated during a battle with MegaSeadramon whom he and T. K. Takaishi encountered en route to Odaiba. Joe was able to save T.K. from drowning at his own expense. Because he was able to put T.K.’s safety before his own, his crest glowed and Ikkakumon was able to Digivolve into his Ultimate form Zudomon for the first time and make short work of MegaSeadramon. Also, shortly after the DigiDestined returned to the Digital World and Mimi Tachikawa lost the will to fight due to the untimely death of a few close Digimon allies, Joe decided to be the one to stay with her so she wouldn’t be alone. There is a slight possibility that there is a romantic interest between the two, but this is never clarified.

Gomamon - Rookie Level
Gomamon is a creature who appears to be based on a young harp seal. He has purple markings and spots all over his body as a design as well as some orange hair on the back of his head. Gomamon also has large visible claws which are probably used for fighting against other digimon. Gomamon first appears as Bukamon (his In-Training form) chasing Joe Kido who apparently wanted to make friends with him though Joe was too frightened at first. Bukamon soon digivolves during the battle against Kuwagamon and when the DigiDestined falls off the cliff from Kuwagamon's attack Gomamon saves them by using his marching fishes attack to create a type of raft out of fish to go down the river. As the series advances, Gomamon eventually digivolves into his other stronger forms to help the Digidestined. In the series, Gomamon was seen as the joker of the group providing much humour at times. At first with his attitude, he and Joe did not get along as Joe was always serious. However the two became good friends as Gomamon showed Joe that being serious all the time was not the best thing to do and that some things in life needed a bit of humour.

Since then, Ikkakumon has fought various enemies like Devimon, Etemon and the henchmen of Myotismon. Other than being used for battle, Ikkakumon was also used as a ferry for travelling across the water.

Zudomon - Ultimate Level
Zudomon is a Sea Animal Digimon and the Ultimate form of Gomamon. He resembles a giant gray and orange walrus wearing a turtle shell with large spikes coming out of it; he generally carries a large metal hammer and he has a horn that absorbs electricity. Zudomon first debuted on August 3, 1999 when Myotismon isolated Odaiba from the rest of Tokyo so that his henchmen could gather the populace. On route to Odaiba via Tokyo Bay, Joe, T.K. and their Digimon encountered MegaSeadramon while passing Rainbow Bridge. It was Joe's need to put T.K.'s well-being ahead of his own that caused his crest to glow and Ikkakumon to Digivolve to Zudomon, who managed to defeat MegaSeadramon, rescue Wizardmon and get involved in the final battle with Myotismon himself. Zudomon was also a needed ally in the fight against the Dark Masters, MetalEtemon and Apocalymon. When Joe used the crest power to free the Sovereigns, Gomamon lost the power to become Zudomon. That was until three years later, when, on Christmas Day, Gomamon and the other old generation Digimon had that power restored to them by one of the DigiCores of Azulongmon. Zudomon, with Submarimon and their human partners, went to Sydney to help the Australian and Pacific DigiDestined with the chaos caused by the aquatic Digimon. But during the fight against SkullSatamon of the Daemon Corps, Zudomon, after he and the other Ultimates were defeated, regressed due to the strain of his stay in the Real World for so long.
