Hiroki Hida

Hiroki Hida was Cody's father. He was one of the first humans to be aware of the Digital World's existence.

When Hiroki was a young boy, he discovered that he could communicate with the Digital World through his game console. As he entered middle school, he befriended another boy, Yukio Oikawa, who could also communicate with the Digital World. Though Hiroki's father forbade them from playing together and cut off their contact to the Digital World, the two became lifelong friends, and dreamed of going to the Digital World together.

As an adult, Hiroki became a police officer, married and had one son, Cody. In the summer of 1999, he went to London to serve on the security detail of an important political figure. In London, he blocked an assassination attempt, taking a bullet for the government official and dying in the process. His death affected his family and Oikawa very deeply.

While he was subjected to MaloMyotismon illusion, Cody experienced his desire to be with his father and show him the Digital World. When Armadillomon appeared, telling Cody that the effect was not real, the illusionary Hiroki let go of Cody's hand and floated away, vanishing.
