(Masaru Daimon), a protagonist who broke the "goggles" tradition by being a street brawler who physically punches Digimon to trigger his partner's evolution. The dub's localization, handled by Studiopolis

• Replacement Score: Unlike the monotone synth tracks of the Saban era, or the original Japanese score used in modern dubs, Data Squad features a completely original, guitar-heavy rock soundtrack produced specifically for the English version.
• Style: The music leans heavily into 2000s alternative rock and action motifs. The opening theme, "Data Squad Theme," is an instrumental rock track (with vocals sometimes added for the credits) that conveys high energy.
