Hikarigaoka

Hikarigaoka (光が丘) is the former home district of the Chosen Children in Nerima, Japan.

1995
One night in 1995, a DigiEgg appears in the apartment where Taichi and Hikari live, and hatches into a Botamon. With tiime Botamon evolves to a Koromon and later an Agumon. The following night a Parrotmon shows up causing a lot of damage, and fights Greymon. The fight is witnessed by Yamato, Takeru, Sora, Kōshirō, Jō, and Mimi, who would later become Chosen Children, as well as many other children. After the fight, Greymon and Parrotmon Dissapear. The damage of the battle is blamed on a terrorist bombing, causing many of the resident families to move away. The children, whose parents did not believe that they had seen monsters, eventually forgot the event or accepted that it must have been a dream.

1999
On August 1, 1999, Vamdemon and his army arrive in the real world through the gate at Hikarigaoka, in search of the eighth Chosen Child. Once the Chosen Children return from the Digital World, they ask Mr. Fujiyama to drop them off at Hikarigaoka. While they reminisce about living there in the past, they are attacked by a Mammothmon from Vamdemon's army. As they watch Garudamon battle Mammothmon, the children remember the battle between Greymon and Parrotmon. Izzy suggests that the eighth child must have lived there at the time, as well.

2002
In 2002, Hikarigaoka is the site of the new Chosen Children's battle against Daemon. When the they realize he is too powerful an opponent, Ken uses his dark D-3 to open a gate to the World of Darkness, where they trap Daemon. In an attempt to stop Oikawa's plan to go through the gate in Hikarigaoka to get to the Digital World, the older Chosen Children's Digimon try to seal the gate off. However, BlackWarGreymon ends up sacrificing himself and seals the gate with his own body. The next day, Oikawa gathers the children he had infected with Dark Seeds at Hikarigaoka, where the Chosen Children confront him. Oikawa tries to open a gate to the Digital World, not knowing it was sealed off, but Vamdemon, who resides within his body, senses this, and causes him to open a gate to another dimension. Oikawa and the children enter this gate, with the new Chosen Children pursuing them.
