Tomoro Tenma is a teenage boy characterized by his distinctive appearance, critical outlook, and a rare e-Pulse that disrupts Sapotamas and attracts Digimon. Ostracized from a young age due to these differences, he grows up relying on his close bond with his older brother Asuka. Asuka was subjected to Cold Heart, a condition caused by Digimon draining e-Pulse that can render the victim comatose. After their parents are arrested and executed by the World Union under unusual and mysterious circumstances, Tomoro becomes distrustful of authority and artificial intelligence, sympathizing with Digimon who are treated as "glitches" by society. His life changes when he partners with Gekkomon and becomes involved with the group Glowing Dawn, gradually learning to trust others, confront his resentment and past, and accept both his abilities and himself.

Over time, he becomes involved with Glowing Dawn, where his gluttony and impulsive behavior—such as stealing food and causing chaos—contrast with moments of loyalty and concern for Tomoro. Despite their frequent clashes and mutual distrust, Gekkomon gradually settles into the group as Tomoro’s partner, accompanying him on missions and daily life while maintaining his mischievous, self-serving nature.
