Gennai

Gennai serves as a guide to the Digital World. He is a member of the Agents.

Appearance
In Gennai's first appearance, he is shown to be an old man with a large grey moustache and a nearly bald head, aside from a small ponytail. His eyes are always shut.

In his younger form, Gennai has short, brown hair with a ponytail at the back, and he wears brown and cream-coloured robes. When he appears before Maki Himekawa, he wears black robes.

Digimon Adventure
Gennai is a data-based humanoid being that was part of a group that created the Digimon and Digivices for the Digidestined. Gennai's comrades were slaughtered by Piedmon, who stole the Tags and Crests, but Gennai managed to escape; however he lost the Digivice and Digi-Egg that was supposed to belong to Kari Kamiya.

Determination
The Mysterious Man, disguised as Ken, observes an attack by the infected Ogremon on Primary Village. Later, at the Tsukishima General High School festival, he is spotted by Maki Himekawa, who is surprised to see "Ken". He then abducts Meicoomon, where the DigiDestined identify him as Ken, then retreats back into the Digital Dimension. When followed by Leomon, Gomamon, and Palmon, he infects Leomon and sends Imperialdramon to attack the two Rookies. After Imperialdramon Fighter Mode's defeat by Rosemon and Vikemon, he releases Meicoomon and vanishes.

Confession
Later, after the DigiDestined return to the rebooted Digital World, he watches as they reunite with their Partners. He them comments to Himekawa about how it is such "a deeply emotional reunion" and reveals his Gennai-like form to her.
