Digimon Season 1-5
Kazu Shioda
Kazu is one of Takato's closest friends and is also a player of the DigiBattle Card Game, and there is nothing more Kazu enjoys than beating Takato and Kenta all the time. His involvement in Tamers truly started when Takato actually beat him, leaving him confused, but when Takato mentioned about real life experience, Kazu wanted to go deeper into it. When Kazu first saw Guilmon he and Kenta freaked out and ran away, but when he saw him as WarGrowlmon, he got to know what being a Tamer is all about. Kazu usually calls Takato "chumley" which in the shows how deep their relationship as friends are. Kazu is known as the comic relief of Tamers because he makes so many jokes and wisecracks to keep the entire episode amusing. He often does these jokes with Kenta and they make quite a pair. He's also had his share of one liners by himself, and with Guardromon, often ending up in mass confusion. Kazu may seem like just a comedian with no sense of purpose, but he is really a true friend and he will help out to the best of his abilities as he knows it's the right thing to do.
Kazu proved how good a friend he was by giving Takato a Blue Card he made himself. He said that since Guilmon came from a drawing, so it should work. The card worked and it proved to be the one that saved the day. Secretly, Kazu wanted to be a Tamer himself and be just as good as Takato and the others. His chance came when he went to the Digital World, although he and Kenta did seem out of place as the others had Partners, he made the best of it until he did finally get a partner of his own in the name of Guardromon. Kazu was the only one who stood by Guardromon's side when he was injured while the others went to rescue Jeri. The two became closer as Partner and Tamer, both in battle and in the multitude of jokes Kazu told, as Guardromon seemed to like to copy him.

Guardromon De-Digivolved to Kapurimon after the D-Reaper was defeated and was forced to return to the Digital World.
Guardromon - Champion Level
Guardromon's armored body is made of solid iron. He also has rocket jets mounted on his back. Separated from the others, Rika's group encountered an Andromon who was trying to liberate a village of Gekomon from the control of Orochimon, who had enslaved them to milkshakes for him. Andromon was badly injured in the battle with the Tamers taking him to the Gekomon village, where they eventually managed to convince the Gekomon leader to give them some of the data packets from their drinks to heal Andromon. However, he had lost much of his energy from the fight and regressed into Guardromon as a result.He helped the Tamers rescue Jeri Katou from Orochimon by conducting a plan of stowing away inside the drink barrels to get onto Orochimon’s island undetected. After Orochimon was destroyed, Guardromon became a Digimon partner to Kazu who helped out in the battles with Beelzemon and the D-Reaper.

Andromon - Ultimate Level
Andromon is Guardromon's Ultimate form. In the Digital World, Rika and the others saw an Andromon throwing a giant boulder into a nearby lake. Andromon was trying to lure out the evil Orochimon and at first thought that the kids had come to stop him. Once they realized they were all on the same side, they tried to work together and defeat Orochimon, but Andromon had sustained too many injuries and Orochimon escaped. It turned out that Andromon was actually trying to be a hero and liberate the Gekomon in a nearby village from Orochimon's tyrant rule. Having taken too many injuries, however, he downgraded to Guardromon. After stopping Orochimon for good with the help of the Tamers, he became Kazu's partner. From that point on, he stayed in his Champion form, Guardromon, and never actually Digivolved again in the show or the movie, although Kazu presumably could enable him to do so with a Blue Card.
