What's known: Anode/Cathode Tamer (1999): Ryo lives with a mother and father in a two-story house, and has no siblings or pets. His parents are apparently really well off, because they gave him a laptop for Christmas '99. While he's typing away in a chatroom on this laptop, he's sent a digivice, which then transports him to the Digital World. It's there that he meets up with Agumon and, eventually, saves Taichi & co. from Millenniumon. It's here that the fans find out that Ryo has a penchant for chatting online regularly and playing videogames. The difference between Anode and Cathode Tamer is that Cathode Tamer has a different set of digimon to train, mostly aquatic. Tag Tamers (2000): Ryo and Ken have apparently been friends for a while, since the game opens up with Ken ushering Ryo to his room, wherein they witness the whole battle with Diablomon on the internet from the second Digimon movie "Bokura no Wargame". Later, Ryo gets the first D-3 and is summoned with Ken to the Digital World. They learn that Diablomon hadn't been completely defeated, then Ryo and V-mon are sent out to defeat him. It's soon learned that Millenniumon is still around, and then he taunts Ryo for a bit before blowing up the mountain. Throughout the game the scene switches between Ryo and Ken, so you do play both. The game ends with the thorough defeat of Millenniumon and the sealing of Millenniumon's spirit in a crystal. Before his defeat, however, Millenniumon released his Dark Seeds. One of these aims for Ryo, but Ken pushes him out of the way and gets nailed with one in Ryo's stead. D-1 Tamers: Shortly after Tag Tamers, Ryo is summoned back to the Digital World by a Holy Beasts to participate in something called the D-1 Tournament. He eventually wins this tournament, and as the story progresses, takes on Moon=Millenniumon again. D-1 Tamers ends with the disappearance of Ryo and the birth of the Digimon Kaiser. Brave Tamer: After D-1 Tamers, Moon=Milleniumon exceeds the space-time continuum to send himself and Ryo into another time and dimension. Ryo is blasted into the primitive beginnings of the Digital World, most of his past forgotten. The game follows his attempts to regain his memories even as he tries to prevent ZeedMillenniumon from destroying ENIAC. Digimon Tamers: Ryo is the legendary card player that even Ruki could never beat, and it is rumored that she only won the tournament that named her Digimon Queen because he disappeared. His first episode, 28, is titled "Friend or Foe? Akiyama Ryo the Legendary Tamer", and aired on October 14, 2001 (the English dub version, "Blame it on Ryo", aired February 16, 2002). His partner digimon, at least for this series, is Cyberdramon. His duet album with Cyberdramon is Best Tamers #5, and was released on November 29. More details about the games can be found in my gaming diary, and more about Ryo in Digimon Tamers will be stashed away in the DT episode summary section. Facts
