It was in 1997 when WiZ and Bandai launched a small device known as the Digital Monsterwhich was a revolution. The possibility of transforming the creature we were caring for won over the public of the time and both companies realized that they had to make the most of the goose that laid the golden eggs they had on their hands.
This is how Digimon Adventure was born, the anime whose main function was to promote all the merchandising, but managed to achieve a high quality status among the audience. In it we met the first chosen children, who were led by Yagami Taichi, who wore a very iconic aviator glasses in his head.
That item was incorporated into the rest of the season leaders, and even the protagonists of the video games. This rule has been maintained throughout the decades, with the only exceptions being Daimon Masaru Digimon Savers and Amanokawa Hiro of Digimon Ghost GameTo understand the origin of this artistic decision it is necessary to go back to the publication of Digimon Adventure V-Tamer 01.
We are talking about the first long-running Digimon manga, which began to be published in 1998 in the magazine V-Jump. Yabuno Tenya was the illustrator of that comic and his idea was to show a spectacular air battlewhich is why he gave Taichi the famous glasses. The artist considered them essential for him to be able to perform well in the air, to which we must add the pact he had with Nakatsuru Katsuyoshi.
The character designer of Digimon Adventure agreed that the design of Digimon Adventure V-Tamer 01 It would be used in the anime and we could see it in the first television episode. Thus, over time, Bandai has established this unwritten rule that has lasted for years for the rest of the more charismatic members of the children.
