Lui Ohwada: A Digital World Tamer

Lui Ohwada, known as Lui Ogata in the English dub, is a key character in the Digimon Adventure universe.

He first appeared in the film Digimon Adventure 02: The Beginning, released in 2002.

At the time, he was a young boy, 20 years old (born February 29, 1992), thrust into the digital world alongside his partner Digimon, Ukkomon.

Lui carries a Digivice, a device that allows him to communicate and evolve his Digimon partner.

While not technically the “first Chosen Child,” as claimed in the film, Lui holds a unique position in the Digimon lore. He’s known as the first to form a “friendship contract” with a Digimon, showcasing a different path to becoming a Tamer compared to the traditional Chosen Children trope.

In the Japanese version, Lui is voiced by the talented Megumi Ogata, known for her work in popular anime like Sailor Moon and Neon Genesis Evangelion. In the English dub, A.J. Beckles provides his main voice, while Erin Yvette takes on the role of his younger self.
