Toei Animation adventure series (1999): seven children are transported to the Digital World, where they partner with digital monsters (Digimon) to save it, before the battle spills into their real home. The 'DigiDestined' live in Odaiba (Tokyo), the setting of the Tokyo arc's climax, and first witnessed a Digimon years earlier in the Hikarigaoka neighborhood.
