Character history: Hinomoto Akari was once a normal girl, who was childhood friends with a not so normal boy named Kudou Taiki. As his best friend and de facto “manager”, Akari would support him in his efforts to assist and help out whomever needed help, all the while referring to his selfless nature as his “bad habit.” That all changed (the normal part, not the other thing; that never really stopped. Ever.) one day when Akari, Taiki, and a young man named Zenjirou encountered a strange being named Shoutmon, who was near death. After a series of bizarre incidents, Akari and Zenjirou were pulled through a strange gate along with Taiki, emerging in a place known as the “Digital World.” There, they encountered Shoutmon face-to-face, along with his friends... and an army led by MadLeomon, an officer in what was known as the Bagra Army.
After MadLeomon was driven off, Akari learned that she and the others were in a place called Green Zone, part of the Digital World. Akari was instantly distraught, wanting to return to her family and friends in the real world. However, she encountered a digimon known as Cutemon for the first time, who temporarily cheered her up before leaving with his friend, Dorulumon. Akari managed to calm herself, though she was resistant to the idea of helping Shoutmon and his friends in defeating the Bagra Army and becoming the “Digimon King.” However, in their attempt to leave, they were attacked again by MadLeomon, an event which convinced Akari that their throwing their lot in with Shoutmon was the best course of action.
After MadLeomon's third and final defeat, they encountered a girl named Amano Nene, who told them of the “Code Crown”: the Digital World was divided into different zones, and each zone had a piece of this “Code Crown.” Only by collecting all of them could they restore the Digital World to its natural state, or in a different case, with the holder having the power to remake the world as they saw fit. They also encountered a young man named Aonuma Kiriha, who cemented himself as Taiki's rival, and unlocked a new level of power after meeting Dorulumon and Cutemon again. Amidst all of this, they decided to name their group “Xros Heart”, after the ability “Digi Xros” that Taiki was able to trigger with Shoutmon and his friends.
Their next journey took them to Island Zone, where they encountered and recruited a young Digimon named ChibiKamemon. After their victory there, they moved on to Magma Zone, where they once again encountered Cutemon and Dorulumon. There, they learned their story. Cutemon had been separated from his parents, and Dorulumon had been helping him to find them. Furthermore, Dorulumon himself was a defector from the Bagra Army. After escaping from the machinations of one of the Bagra Army's three Head Officers, Tactimon, Akari and the group moved on, with Akari having made a close friend in Cutemon.
Soon afterwards, they arrived at Lake Zone, where they met a digimon named Knightmon, who served the princess of Lake Zone's Bastia Castle, Bastemon. Akari was instantly put off by Bastemon's forwardness with Taiki, and became frustrated with Taiki's overhelpfulness and their situation in general. With her doubts and desire to return home, she was easy prey for the manipulation of Lilithmon, another one of the Head Officers, who used her powers and an image of Akari's mother to trick her into bringing her Lake Zone's Code Crown. However, her friends were able to snap her out of it by stating how much they valued her, and together they stood against Lilithmon and her underlings, IceDevimon and DaiPenmon. Using Knightmon and his subordinate PawnChessmons' power, they united into Shoutmon X4K and defeated them, earning Lake Zone's Code Crown. Furthermore, Knightmon, the PawnChessmons, and Bastemon joined them on their journey.
As time passed, Xros Heart's numbers grew, adding a young treasure hunter named Revolmon, and a former Bagra Army assassin who had been reborn as a Digimon named Beelzebumon. In addition, in a zone called Heaven Zone, they learned Nene was working with a digimon called DarkKnightmon. Later, they arrived in the Forest Zone, where Akari found herself forced to perform a “Love Love Dance” with Zenjirou in order to open the gate to the Forest Zone's diety, Deckerdramon, who had been targetted by DarkKnightmon. Though she was mortified, she and Zenjirou successfully opened the gate, where they fought DarkKnightmon alongside Kiriha. In the process, they learned Nene was helping DarkKnightmon in order to save her brother, Yuu, and though they successfully defended Deckerdramon (who ended up joining Kiriha), DarkKnightmon escaped with Nene.
Deciding to save Nene from DarkKnightmon, they moved on to a zone the nefarious digimon controlled known as Dust Zone. After helping a digimon named Pinnochimon (who initially decieved them), they soon learned DarkKnightmon no longer needed Nene, as he'd successfully activated a item called the Darkness Loader, which required no General and could force a Digi Xros. With Nene cast aside, they decided to work with her subordinates, the Monitamon, and take her to a place called Shinobi Zone. They arrived there after picking up a new member named Wisemon along the way (and narrowly avoiding being devoured by a digimon called Arkadimon), only to find Shinobi Zone was under siege by the Bagra Army. The group learned from the elder of the local Monitamon village that they could get the Code Crown from Karatenmon, the digimon that held it... by making him laugh. Along the way to see him, Akari found herself developing concern for Nene's plight, and in the end, the two of them ended up working together to earn the Code Crown, becoming friends in the process.
Sometime later, Xros Heart arrived in Sweets Zone, where they learned that the Bagra Army had taken over and kidnapped the local patisseries. After discovering that the local commander, Matadormon, was a sweets connoisseur, they posed as a group of chefs that had come to see him, with Akari herself challenging Matadormon's top chef, WaruMonzaemon, to a cooking battle in order to earn audience with him. Her attempt at making a cake turned out disastrous, due in part to her friends' incompetence and some manipulation by WaruWonzaemon, but to their surprise, they found Matadormon favoring their cake. However, Matadormon threw them down to the depths below Sweets Zone, where they learned a horrific fact: Matadormon was in fact using the inhabitants of Sweets Zone to power and revive a horrifically powerful digimon named Breakdramon. What was more, Matadormon was using Cutemon's own parents for this purpose. Nevertheless, they prevailed, and saved Cutemon's parents. In the end, Cutemon stayed with the group, having gotten permission to remain with Xros Heart on their journey.
The next zone they traveled to was Sword Zone... which quickly turned into a battle with Tactimon, as with Sword Zone's Code Crown, all of the existing Code Crowns were now accounted for between the Bagra Army and the various groups collecting them. Though Xros Heart defeated Tactimon, they were all thrown into the real world by Bagramon himself, who subsequently stole all the Code Crowns they'd collected. Once they were there, they found Shoutmon had ended up coming with them, and that barely any time had passed in the real world even after several months had passed in the Digital World. There, they encountered Omegamon, the being that had chosen Taiki and sent them into the Digital World in the first place. Omegamon had been trapped as an item called a Digimemory, after he and his group had attempted to stop the Bagra Army in ages past. However, Tactimon appeared, having been sent to the Digital World along with him. He took Akari and Zenjirou captive, but in the process, their feelings of courage and friendship ended up triggering a new ability in Taiki's Xros Loader, allowing Shoutmon to evolve to a new form called OmegaShoutmon, who subsequently defeated Tactimon once and for all. Soon after, Akari and the others prepared to return to the Digital World... only to learn that Omegamon only had the power to send back Taiki and Shoutmon. Akari hugged both Taiki and Shoutmon, wishing them well, and swearing that she and Zenjirou would find a way to join them if they were able.
And so, while Taiki and Shoutmon spent a great deal of time battling Bagramon's forces in a Digital World the emperor had constructed himself, barely a day passed for Akari and Zenjirou. They would find themselves thrown back into the conflict when Bagramon, now DarknessBagramon, entered the real world and froze the entire population of earth in stone. Akari and Zenjirou however were saved thanks to the Digi-Memories of Examon and WarGreymon, who had been transported to the real world along with Tactimon. With their help, they were able to save Taiki, who had been thrown into darkness after losing Shoutmon in battle, helping him to regain his resolve for the final battle. In the end, Taiki resolved to enter the corrupted Code Crown Bagramon had absorbed into his being, with Akari accompanying him at the last minute. Together, they played host to Shoutmon's revival within the Code Crown, which had responded to Taiki and removed itself from Bagramon's control. In the events that followed, Shoutmon, using the power of the Code Crown, digi xrosed with everything, becoming Shoutmon X7 Superior Mode. They struck Bagramon down for good, and the battle at last seemed to be over, with the digimon returning to the digital world...
… or so Akari believed. A year later, Akari had transferred schools and was unable to help Taiki as often as she had before. Unbeknown to her, the distortions in the Digital World and Bagramon's actions caused the birth of a digimon named Quartzmon, who created a new dimensional space known as Digi Quartz. Unknown to Akari, Taiki had been reunited with Shoutmon and had begun investigating instances involving Digi Quartz with Nene's brother, Yuu, and a boy named Akashi Tagiru along with their digimon. Akari would find the truth, however, when she unexpectedly won tickets to a fancy dinner party at a prestigious hotel. She invited Taiki to accompany her... only to find it was all part of a Digimon named SuperStarmon's plan, who wanted to add Taiki to his collection of “super stars.” They managed to get out of it okay, but Akari was understanding when she learned the truth from Taiki, opting to want to support him in any way she could.
She found her chance when the events in Digi Quartz came to a head, as Quartzmon began to reveal himself and start transforming the real world into Digi Quartz. She learned, along with Zenjirou and the others, the secret of Digi Quartz from a mysterious old man who had the ability to create Xros Loaders, as well as the fact that he'd gathered heroes from different dimensions to assist in defeating Quartzmon. The old man gave Akari a Xros Loader, allowing her to fight alongside Taiki and the rest of Xros Heart while they worked to empower a weapon made from Bagramon's dormant power, the Brave Snatcher. Unfortunately, the group was betrayed by a young man named Mogami Ryouma, who while under mind control from Astamon, a terminal of Quartzmon, stabbed Taiki and Shoutmon with the Brave Snatcher, with Akari and the others looking on in horror. Ultimately, the task of defeating Quartzmon fell to Tagiru, as Quartzmon absorbed Akari and the rest of the world into himself. Tagiru succeeded, and Quartzmon was reduced to a Digi-Egg, returning everything to normal. It seemed that the story had finally come to an end...
… And then Akari found herself pulled into another world again.
