Why Yamato? Why did I make this site?
Well, it started about four years ago (less, but close enough) when I first saw the show "Digimon". At the time, I'd only known about it as a "tamagotchi" type toy, and thought it was going to be like the show "Pokemon". It wasn't.
Anyway, after the first episode had ended, I really thought I'd like Taichi the best. I've always liked the main character the best out of every other show I'd seen, so it was basically granted. But then came episode three, and I just really liked the way Yamato was portrayed. So now I had a favourite, and it wasn't Taichi, but Yamato.
I watched Digimon for a couple more episodes.. but then, I started to get bored of it. And yes, in my honest opinion, I do think Digimon is boring. If it wasn't for Yamato and the depth of his character, I wouldn't of liked Digimon at all.
But as I was saying, after a couple of episodes I was seriously getting bored. So I stopped watching it. It was by chance that when I turned on the TV on Fox Kids, I started to watch it again. It was the episode/scene where Nancy, Yamato's mother, had just re-united with Takeru and Yamato was so stand-offish about it. You know, where the whole family was together again in such a long time? For some reason, that scene really interested me, and I wanted to know more about their family situation. That's what basically made me watch Digimon @.@;
I liked the relationship between Yamato and his mother, and in episode three it was stated that Yamato and Takeru where half-brothers (silly dubbers) so I really wanted to know who was who's parent. Of course, after some time surfing the 'net, I found out they were full brothers, not half-brothers. Saban had messed up.
And so I watched Digimon to the end of its series, and when it began to re-run, I watched it for I had missed most of the episodes. I was truly infatuated by Yamato. His history, his personality, his insecurities.. I just wanted to cuddle him sometimes. Now you all must think I'm wacko, I mean, he is a cartoon character. But hey, what's life without being obsessed with something? =)
This site has been a long time coming. Ever since I first got the 'net, near the end of 2001, I've been meaning to make a Yamato site. But there was a problem, I didn't know anything about building sites. I tried my luck at Geocities, but I didn't know anything. Little by little, I began to learn HTML, but even now, I'm still at basic level. I probably will never learn it all, because I'm a very changing type of person. I can't sit still long enough to do something over a period of time. But I'm in my school holidays at the moment, two weeks away from going into Yr 11, my last chance as a kid. So why not? =)
I hope you enjoy this site, even though it'll mostly be static. It's like a little remembrance of Ishida Yamato. =)
