Izzy from Digimon

Izzy Izumi from Digimon is Autistic!

[izzyizumi]

{Pretends to be Shocked TM at how close it sounds.}

From the official (U.S. dub based/produced) {NOT written by Jeff Nimoy, FYI, And Yet} [still-official] guidebook: [Note: It’s written from “Tai”’s point of view!]:

“Izzy might be the smartest kid I know. And there’s really only one way to describe him - Izzy’s a computer nerd. One of the first questions I ever heard him ask about {the} DigiWorld was, {Dub version}: “Do you have Internet access?” He carries his laptop computer with him everywhere he goes.”

{Digimon P.S.P Game}:

{Sub version[s]}: (Huh, what a strange coincidence):

“{Dub version-implied} CDs make him think about information storage, not his favorite rock band. But I have to give the little runt a hand - he’s pretty brave, and his understanding of computers sure has come in handy in this digital world.”

{Sub version} [+02 Epilogue!]:

[from the Digimon Adventure official novels] (written by Adventure+02 head director/writer Hiroyuki Kakudou; Hiro Masaki, Koushiro’s main writer, also contributed about 1/3rd due to having experience in writing screenplays, thus, Kakudou asked him for help on it):

(Pictured Above: the one part of my diagnosis I’m actually comfortable sharing. That’s because other parts of it are private medical info y’know.): [Pictured below: my original Digi-T.C.G. collection. [Most still on hand] Still in original folder from childhood at time were my V.H.S. tape Bonus cards with the 1st 7 Chosen, as Kari was not included]: (Do you see some of the wear on the folder?)

“{Name} spent the entire time closed up in {their} room on the computer. Digimon and P.O.K.E.M.O.N are {their} passion. {They} spend countless hours on the computer writing stories about the Digimon characters. {They} have encyclopedia knowledge regarding these characters,”

[2020 reboot!Koushiro {even} knowing completely Unnecessary TM encyclopedia-like knowledge about WALTZING!!! of all things]

[“Your valued possessions”] {See: Autistic Koushiro series} [SPECIAL Interests + {Possible} Protectiveness over them]

(Multiple times, even in the 2020 version; Koushiro acting possessive over computers/tech and/or tablet):

“...has collected all the cards, and could talk incessantly about Digimon if a listener allowed. {Blanked out for private medical info reasons} most children are...”

{See: Posts relevant to formal speech patterns} [x] [x] [x] [Koushiro in the original version is also implied to speak using ‘formal’-esque Japanese speech.]

(Sora: “What about you, Koushiro-kun?” Koushiro: “Y-Yes!” [“H-Hai!”] {only light stammer being suddenly addressed, then firm): “I’ve always believed in Taichi-san before this, in any case.”)

“...over, never talks on the phone and is difficult to even take to the shopping mall unless {they} are going to purchase a Digimon item. If {they} are allowed to, {they} would spend the whole weekend watching taped Digimon and {PKMN} shows, and writing stories on the computer.”

“{Name} is perfectly content not having to interact with the outside world.”

SO YEAH. IF IZZY - or (Sub version TOO) Koushiro - was ever a character you HEAVILY (in any series!!) RELATED to - you might want to look into (if wanted!) an Autism diagnosis, because they sure thought I WAS. (The above was my middle school ‘evaluation’ that led to my eventual re-confirmed/re-evaluated diagnosis.) Thank you for your time!! Hope this can help someone / any Digimon fans!!!! (You’re welcome)

{Some Digi-Fans @ Me: ‘Explain Koushiro Izumi!!!1!’ mE: “ YOU ASKED!!!1! ”}

{ALL GIFS/PICS BY ME} {DO NOT re-post} [DO NOT re-post my diagnosis copies outside of this post] [I. WILL. KNOW] {PLEASE ASK TO USE, I spent some 5~+ years compiling them all!}

HAPPY KOUSHIRO IZUMI GETTING THE APPRECIATION, ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, & RESPECT HE DESERVES DAY

Note: This episode aired on 2/14, Valentines’ day in both Japan and the US too, at that! Isn’t that a funny timing coincidence?

OPs commentary: So I originally posted this post with quite the rant about how this fandom continuously ignores (or even literally pushes aside or discredits! Or removes Koushiro, a canonically ADOPTED character, from his own canonical narratives!) canon!Koushiro’s presence and contributions to the series’ wider storylines and subsequently ignores his fandom and fanworks, character dynamics including his involvement and ships featuring him as a result.

I deleted the rant but to be quite honest this post is still meant to get that point across regardless Taichi can acknowledge canon!Koushiro’s importance, and you can too!

Digimon Adventure x tri. x 2020 ~ Japanese version featuring CHARACTER Koushiro[u] Izumi [Koushiro “Izzy” Izumi in US dub] + Koushiro & Tentomon {as Friendship}; & Izumis {Familial} + IMPORTANT DIALOGUES + Character DEVELOPMENT (*Across various series media) + Canon Parallels

Adventure Episode #24 x Kokuhaku [Confession] (Tri Movie #3); among other significant Koushiro moments

“It’s my Inquisitive Heart!” {Note: US dub calls it “Curiosity”, but it is Inquisitive Heart in the original} “Staying ignorant isn’t what makes me, me!”

“Wanting to KNOW everything is a part of WHO I AM!”

“Please KEEP learning more new things AND enjoying it.”

Original Poster’s [Mine] Commentary:

Koushiro Izumi’s story in ALL medias of this series (regardless of series/writers involved) is about his ADOPTION, FOUND FAMILY, (Yes, his friends {like Tentomon!!} can also count as his Found Family) AND SELF-acceptance. (Including of those Intense Interests of his!)

“Please keep learning new things and enjoying them.” - Tentomon, who has been championing Koushiro since the very start of Adventure (which ALSO gets reflected in 2020 AND tri moments):

“Can you TEACH ME?”

Digimon Adventures + Digimon Adventure tri. ~ (AUTISTIC HEADCANON!) KOUSHIRO IZUMI Character Analysis (Japanese version) {see Part 2 of Autistic!/Neurodivergent!Koushiro canonical traits here}

+ INFODUMPING in various ways - about Interests, be they possible Special Interests and things he HIGHLY ENJOYS & infodumps about in an extremely INTENSE way {such as the Oolong Tea, and even Science & Knowledge in general} - about information / Team Analyzing & Strategy / Special Interest in KNOWLEDGE in general -- + Infodumping in both GOOD WAYS and BAD WAYS ... (also depending on the certain framings of both these scenes)

{ the following post will have tri references from Soushitsu [Movie 4] } { and also Kokuhaku [Movie 3] }

READ FURTHER: What is a Special Interest?

Special interests are (not named) literally a part of the diagnostic criteria for Autism. From the DSM-V directly: Highly restricted, fixated interests that are abnormal in intensity or focus Note: abnormal in intensity or focus that means that if “everyone” has special interests, they aren’t ‘abnormal’ in intensity or focus, because that’s everyone. In the examples, directly from the DSM-V, specifically referring to interests: excessively circumscribed or perseverative interests (circumscribed=restricted perseverative=repeat insistently/redundantly)

also from that post:

INFO DUMPING

Yes, people like to know things about interests. But autistics often can’t stop. We repeat ourselves about them, and because of the social aspects mentioned above,

we know people think we’re annoying.

But we can’t stop.

We store the information and when it comes up its like they’re kicking over the file cabinet.

DOES KOUSHIRO GENUINELY ENJOY HIS {SPECIAL?} INTERESTS?:

“WHEN YOU’RE DOING RESEARCH,

OR LEARNING SOMETHING NEW,

YOU TRULY LOOK HAPPY

LIKE YOU’RE ENJOYING IT.”

- Tentomon in Kokuhaku {Confession}, Movie 3 with FULL memories of Koushiro

“I UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH YOU LOVE THIS.”

- Motimon in Soushitsu {Loss}, Movie 4 post-Reboot, at the time, SEEMINGLY NOT remembering Koushiro

And yet, the above scenes all together provide a DIFFERENT picture.

[And maybe a slightly smaller Relevant comparison moment BUT.....]

{“HOW WAS I?”} - Adventure episode 28, the episode with the Gate to the Real World Motimon asking about his overall performance.

{“I’M SORRY, AM I HEAVY?”}

... Motimon asking about his overall performance. + “am I inconveniencing you?” {basically}

“...” Koushiro has a significant pause as he’s realizing.

“Koushiro-han?”

“...so WE STILL had A {BOND}...”

- the point of this comparison being

EVEN WHEN MOTIMON SEEMINGLY DOESN’T HAVE ALL MEMORIES, MOTIMON REMEMBERS THINGS ABOUT KOUSHIRO IZUMI, INCLUDING IMPORTANT, CONSTANTLY CEMENTED-IN-CANON TRAITS OF KOUSHIRO’S WIDER PERSONALITY

such as that

“WHEN YOU’RE DOING RESEARCH,

OR LEARNING SOMETHING NEW,

YOU TRULY LOOK HAPPY

LIKE YOU’RE ENJOYING IT.”

and by the way,

regardless of some small differences between versions so far,

this same side of his personality is KEPT so far in Adventure 2020:

“YOUR BRAIN!

YOUR {KNOWLEDGE}!!”

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE BAD SIDE YOU SHOWED EARLIER?? when they TALKED OVER HIM THEY’RE BEING SO OOC AREN’T THEY??? Um... not wholly / it’s COMPLICATED.

[ note everyone’s expressions in the moment above. most {all} are looking at him rather dismayed. he’s clearly been at this for a while to the point even Tailmon was snoozing and had to ASK HIM DIRECTLY “KOUSHIRO. What are you doing” she even asks this in a straight deadpan ]

{Taichi didn’t exactly have the best patience here either.}

Reading the emails, missing the atmosphere / not reading the room {essentially, missing Taichi’s social cues}

{this scene was also related in the previous posts regarding Koushiro constantly missing social cues [EVEN/SOMETIMES WITH TAICHI] and yet the others {INCLUDING/ESPECIALLY TAICHI} ... eventually recognize Koushiro DOES NOT MEAN THIS. GENUINELY Tri!Taichi even defends Koushiro in the later scene in the 3rd movie:}

please relate back to the above contexts:

... and because of the social aspects mentioned above, we know people think we’re annoying. But we can’t stop. We store the information and when it comes up its like they’re kicking over the file cabinet.

WE CAN’T STOP

and neither can Koushiro when he’s infodumping or specifically infodumping on his Interests  POORLY.

The Chosen Children know this. {Eventually} [because out of all of them, Taichi knows Koushiro best]

TAICHI YAGAMI KNOWS this. {a bit earlier on compared to the rest} BUT IT TAKES TAICHI A ... Bit TO Learn about Koushiro Izumi, TOO.

{ Koushiro is *sighing* here }

“AT TIMES LIKE THIS, YOU JUST HAVE TO HIT IT!”

{ a part of Taichi and Koushiro’s relationship is learning patience with each others’ issues, if slowly at times/briefly }

{notice how here...}

this scene with the Oolong happens much later on in tri, and everyone just... casually doesn’t mind that he’s obviously infodumping with everyone in a much more pleasant mood & SITUATION {kind of} than they were in the Movie 1 scene. the contexts of the scenes are different they have their Digimon back regardless and are attempting to RELAX and re-bond with them. { including Koushiro + Motimon }

They are all {including Koushiro} clearly very COMFORTABLE here.

And, would I, as an Autistic fan who has info dumped often about my Special Interests myself, have preferred they handled the scene from Saikai better? MAYBE.

Do I also think they improved with later scenes by highlighting that infodumping comes naturally to Koushiro, to the point TENTOMON even points it out? showing the Chosen sitting all together happily despite his infodumping?

considering literally all the contexts I’ve mentioned above about why Tri!Koushiro’s scenes in general are STILL important to his OVERALL personality, AND this wider headcanon,

YES.

And here’s another thing...

When people LET US ramble on about our Special Interests without interrupting us, even if we’re being slightly (or VERY)  missing-reading-the-room about it,

IT CAN ACTUALLY EVEN BE A SIGN OF RESPECT especially if it’s to a point you’re COMFORTABLE AROUND US

Autistic people love it when we’re allowed to ramble on without interruption.

We don’t necessarily EXPECT people to absorb or even understand EVERY single word we say. We’re just happy and pleased they’re letting us ramble, without making it out {directly to us, as in DELIBERATELY interrupting us or directly insulting us & our interests, is the literal WORST way} to seem like it’s a huge problem in the moment.

for example, if Tri!Taichi or co had deliberately interrupted Koushiro’s rambling in the 1st movie scene, i.e. if to YELL at him to “stop and pay attention, you’re being so ANNOYING!” for example, that would have been SO MUCH WORSE.

Koushiro’s friends are, in the wider plot of the series,

GOOD friends to him.

A bit later on in Movie 4:

{TAICHI NOTICING KOUSHIRO’S EYES ARE CLEARLY GLASSY / FIRM / WATERY / MAYBE A BIT TEARY FROM ALL THE FRUSTRATION & STRESS. And that Koushiro is clearly holding it all in for Taichi & the team’s comfort.}

Despite some bumps along the way they really do care.

{‘SEE HOW MUCH WE CARE ABOUT EACH OTHER AS A TEAM?’} {‘SEE HOW MUCH YOU AND TAICHI CARED ABOUT EACH OTHER, AGUMON?’ - Koushiro Izumi, probably, as he shows them to Agumon - Koushiro even takes the ‘stealth’ photos HIMSELF as a hobby!!!}

...And in the 2nd scene from tri with Motimon (Movie 4), Mimi does GENTLY interrupt at the end... but note the reasoning: Koushiro has rambled on too long to the point he hasn’t eaten his food.

If he doesn’t eat his food, Koushiro isn’t practicing proper SELF CARE, and the Chosen {and later on, even Tri!Mimi!} know this.

They’re also looking out for him at various such times, in such moments.

Because they CARE.

I’d just, UM, also like to point something out here...

I’M. literally infodumping to you all by making this post & analysis. I understand and expect not every single word will be completely understood, either by more casual fans of the series or by people who aren’t Autistic / Neuro-divergent.

I’m fine with that. Mostly, I’ll be happy if you can at the very least please try to seriously consider what I’m saying about everything here, and how I personally analyze canon!Koushiro’s infodumping and the Chosens’ various responses.

[ NOTES: THIS IS A FAN META POST. This is also my particular headcanon / analysis of Koushiro Please keep this in mind before you comment This post was made with the intention of pointing out CANONICAL character traits of Koushiro in the various media, regardless of wider headcanons. There is a bit further commentary in the tags of the original post in regards to headcanons. If you choose to read this post / commentary, please be respectful. Please be aware I am making this post and speaking as someone who is Neuro divergent MYSELF. ]

+ despite Koushiro’s own (initial) beliefs about Koushiro’s deep TECHNOLOGY interest, eventually realizing he’s GENUINELY ENJOYING a SPECIAL INTEREST in COMPUTERS, TECHNOLOGY, (& KNOWLEDGE in General)

+ bonus receiving positive Stimulation from said Special interests (above gifs) from the Digimon Adventure movies

READ FURTHER: What is a Special Interest?:

Special interests are (not named) literally a part of the diagnostic criteria for Autism. From the DSM-V directly: Highly restricted, fixated interests that are abnormal in intensity or focus Note: abnormal in intensity or focus that means that if “everyone” has special interests, they aren’t ‘abnormal’ in intensity or focus, because that’s everyone. In the examples, directly from the DSM-V, specifically referring to interests: excessively circumscribed or perseverative interests (circumscribed=restricted perseverative=repeat insistently/redundantly) The below is a section from the Adventures novels, (bolding/italics by me for emphasis):

Koushiro stood facing his parents in a corner of Big Sight’s empty main lobby. “What did you want to talk to me about?” His father, Masami, spoke heavily. “While we were hiding at home, your mother and I had a talk and we decided to tell you the truth. The thing is—” He knew that this day would one day come. “We’re not your real parents.” “…I already know.” His mother, Yoshie, wasn’t surprised at all. “I knew it…” Just before they had moved to Odaiba, Koushiro had woken up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. His parents’ voices could be heard through the thin crack of the open door. “I decided to pretend that I hadn’t heard it. I tried to act as if everything was the same as before… but I just couldn’t do it. The more I tried, the weirder it felt… Until in the end, I became obsessed with computers… So that I could escape from reality…” “It’s okay to be obsessed with computers!” Koushiro looked up wonderingly at Masami’s sharp voice. “Is there something wrong about that? No! It’s what makes you unique.”

- Digimon Adventure Novel (written by Adventures head writer/director, Hiroyuki Kakudou) [with translation credit thanks to onkei kun of website Digital Scratch!] (*Note: while the novel is a highly condensed form of the original TV series, it contained many ideas Kakudou said/claimed he could not include in the final version; he then used the novels to elaborate on those ideas in an alternative form of media/enjoyment for the series.)

“IT’S OKAY TO BE OBSESSED WITH COMPUTERS!” - Masami Izumi, Koushiro’s father (Novels edition) of Adventure ep 38

“IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THAT? NO ! IT’S WHAT MAKES YOU UNIQUE.”

“YOU DON’T NEED TO CHANGE YOURSELF FOR US.”

“ALL WE WANT IS FOR YOU TO BE HAPPY.”

BONUS: (from episode 33 of 02 in which Miyako goes to Kyoto), Koushiro speaking in response to Ken Ichijouji, after they have a conversation about the possible reason, and Koushiro’s theory, of why Ken’s D3 initially transformed:

“...Because I WANTED TO KNOW.”

Please, if you will, compare all of the above to:

“ IS IT WRONG TO WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING ? ’ {a very common theme & phrasing used within Koushiro’s wider storyline across the series & novel)

+

(In the original Japanese version of Adventure episode 24, Koushiro’s Crest episode; he does not lose simply his “Curiosity” {a noncanonical-to-the-Japanese version US dub change}, he actually loses his ENTIRE {‘INQUISITIVE’ HEART}.)

“WANTING TO KNOW EVERYTHING IS A PART OF WHO I AM!”

(*Maybe of note: Here, he’s saying “Gomen yo” {I’m sorry} instead of the more formal “Gomen nasai” {Koushiro in the original Japanese version is known for his overly-formal way of speaking, typically involving him being/sounding extremely polite, especially when speaking to his adoptive parents. but also even with his friends. ‘Gomen yo’ sounds a little more casual in comparison, imo. He has more significant developments in this area of speech later on, but either way you can tell his intention here is genuine.})

BONUS:

“THAT’S THE {KOUSHIRO-HAN} I KNOW!”

Digimon Adventure vs Digimon Adventure: [2020 Reboot] ~ vs. Digimon Adventure tri. Movie 3 [Kokuhaku (Confession)] (Autistic Headcanon!)Koushiro Izumi Character Analysis + ~ Comparisons / Parallels (Japanese version) + Displaying Common Neurodivergent {+Autistic} Traits {In General} + "Without” Accessibility/Accomodations vs "With” {or, the difference of a 90s era laptop and a 2020 high performing tablet} (compare Adventure Episode 10 with Adventure 2020, above) + {Incorrectly} often Perceived as “ Cold ” (by Others) + Unintentionally Missing Social Cues “Well, it’s true that Koushiro {“lacks charm”}...” “But {Koushiro}’s not a {“bad” child}.” “I think {Koushiro}’s a REALLY GOOD {Child}/{Person}.”

(notably with Mimi, + relevant in his early interactions with Meiko) {to a lesser extent, this is ALSO NOTABLE in Koushiro’s interactions with Taichi, [ later Adventure + Our War Game (2nd Adventure Movie in Japan) ] arguably his closest friend }

“{ WHEN HE GETS CAUGHT UP IN SOMETHING },” ″HE JUST DOESN’T { NOTICE } { ANYTHING ELSE }.” - Tentomon explaining to Mimi, Adv Ep 10

+ “Koushiro IS DOING EVERYTHING HE CAN TO HELP YOU !”:

“ABOUT KOUSHIRO...” “He’s  INVESTIGATING THIS WITH ALL HIS HEART...”

“ HE SAYS IT’S ALL HE CAN DO . ”

( after a long moment, Taichi sounds tense and insistent as he’s asking Meiko to FORGIVE KOUSHIRO after Koushiro was interrogating her earlier, missing more cues. Mimi had once again herself been slightly upset with Koushiro, and for Meiko’s sake. ) [ SO ... ] ”

- Digimon Adventure tri.: SOUSHITSU [‘LOSS’] ( Japanese version ) ~ When Tentomon is stuck together with Mimi in a familiar past location, { familiar to Mimi as well } Mimi, who was previously frustrated with Koushiro, {due to instances of him missing her + Meikos social cues} then ends up saying the above, encouraging Tentomon and recognizing Koushiro’s helpfulness. ( COMPARE to all of the above scenes with them all. ) “KOUSHIRO-KUN, HUH? HE’D BE A GREAT HELP IF HE WERE HERE.” - Mimi to Tentomon, about Koushiro

- Digimon Adventure: [2020 Reboot] Episode 03 ~ Koushiro babbling on, completely missing Taichis’ social cue {standing stock still & shocked} until the last moment; Koushiro then glances away, avoiding eye contact / looking at Taichi.

DIGIMON ADVENTURE EPISODE 38 (Japanese version):

“ THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING INTO COMPUTERS ! ”

{“THAT TRAIT OF YOURS IS WHAT MAKES YOU WHO YOU ARE.”}

“ YOU DON’T HAVE TO CHANGE YOURSELF FOR US . ”

BONUS:

{ I try to keep in mind "Our War Game”, the 2nd released Adventure movie in Japan, was not directly written by Hiroyuki Kakudou, the head director of Adventure + 02, but considering various things such as Omegamon’s debut from it is still often referenced and recognized by the staff ... }:

[ note: “This is no time for fights!” is being said by YAMATO. ]

[ and not much later on, during a highly dramatic battle moment... ]

Taichi: (after a long silence; apologizing to Koushiro) ... Sorry. Koushiro: It’s fine. (COMPARE to the above; later scene of Tri!Taichi blatantly defending Koushiro to Meiko.) {*NOTES: THIS IS A FAN META POST.
