'''Koji Minamoto''' (源輝二 ''Minamoto Kouji'') is a main character in the ''[[Digimon]]'' [[anime]] series "[[Digimon Frontier]]". In this series, a group of chosen human children were given the ability to turn into [[Digimon (creature)|digimon]].

==Description==
Koji was the child chosen to wield the ''Spirits of Light''. Koji starts the series as the group loner - a kid who wanted friends, but never had the chance to make any because he had to change schools many times. Koji receives [[Ophanimon]]'s cell phone message while he was out buying flowers for his stepmother. He followed the instructions on the SMS, which led to a subway station where a [[Trailmon]] took him to the [[Digital World]].

Koji travelled alone until he met [[Tommy Himi]] and [[J. P. Shibayama]] and had to save the two from a horde of attacking [[Digimon (creature)|digimon]]. From then on, Koji showed up to help the other [[Chosen Children]] from time to time, and then eventually joins the group permanently.

Koji also meets his [[twin]] brother, [[Kouichi Kimura]], for the first time in the [[Digital World]]. Koji's parents had split up when they were young, and his mother had moved out with [[Kouichi Kimura|Kouichi]] and their grandmother. Koji's father remarried, told Koji that his mother had died, and never informed him of his twin brother. As such, Koji never knew he had a brother, let alone a twin.

Ironically, Koji was the last to find out that Koichi, in the [[Digital World]], was only spirit with a semi-physical form (in the real world, Koichi fell down a flight of stairs and went into a coma). [[Bokomon]] overheard the conversation between Koichi and [[Crusadermon]], and was forced into telling the others (Takuya, Zoe, J.P, and Tommy) while Koji and Koichi were out of hearing range.

==Digimon forms==
Koji wields [[AncientGarurumon]]'s power through the "''Spirit of Light''".

Lobomon (Wolfmon) is Koji's Digimon form when he uses the Human Spirit of Light. The name "Lobomon" comes from "''Lobo''", the Spanish word for "Wolf". Lobomon first appears in episode 2 of [[Digimon Frontier]]. [[Tommy Himi|Tommy]] and [[J. P. Shibayama|J.P.]] where being chased by a group of [[Pagumon]] and fell into a mysterious chamber. They where found by Koji, who beat off the Pagumon using a pole. However, a Pagumon [[Digivolution|digivolved]] into [[Raremon]], and turned the tables against Koji. [[Takuya Kanbara|Takuya]] and [[Zoe Orimoto|Zoe]] arrived and Takuya proceeded to use Spirit Digivolve. However, he lost the fight and reverted to his human form. Trying to push Tommy away from an attack, Takuya accidentally pushed Koji into a deep hole. Raremon's acid attack hit the wall at just the correct spot, releasing a beam of light that revealed Koji's Human Spirit of Light. This allowed Koji to Spirit Digivolve into [[Lobomon]] for the first time. lobomon is seen leaping towards [[cherubimon|cherubimon]]'s palace with [[agunimon]].

'''Attacks'''
* '''Lobo Kendo''' [''Licht Sieger (Light Winner)'']: Lobomon uses his "''Light Kendo''" swords to slice his enemies in two.
* '''Howling Laser''' [''Licht Kugel (Light Ball)'']: Lobomon gathers energy to the weapon on his left wrist, and releases it in a burst of light energy.

KendoGarurumon (Garmumon) is Koji's digimon form when he uses the Beast Spirit of Light. KendoGarurumon is a wolf-like digimon who can move at the speed of light.

KendoGarurumon first appears when the group fought against [[Grumblemon]]. Koji helped some [[Gotsumon]] by replacing a gem into the eye of a rock, and released the Beast Spirit of Light. Koji became the first of the group to Spirit Digivolve with a Beast Spirit, turning into KendoGarurumon and defeats Grumblemon.
He had trouble at first controlling the Beast Spirit but quickly got over it.

'''Attacks'''
* '''Lupine Laser''' (''Solar Laser''): KendoGarurumon shoots a beam of energy from his mouth.
* '''Howling Star''' (''Speed Star''): KendoGarurumon uses the Wing Blades on his back to slice apart the enemy.

===Beowulfmon===

Koji assumes this form when he gains the power to combine both his spirits. Beowulfmon's name derives from the [[Epic poem]] [[Beowulf]], and the poem's protagonist hero [[Beowulf (hero)|of the same name]].

Beowulfmon first appears in episode 27, where Koji was trapped within [[Mercurymon]]'s Darkness Sphere. Koji fought, and was defeated by [[Duskmon]], forcing him to revert to his human form. About to be killed by Duskmon, Koji started thinking back to all the things he felt he regretted in his life. His will to continue living wakened [[Seraphimon]]'s Digi-Egg, upgrading Koji's D-Tector and giving him the power to combine his Beast and Human Spirits.

'''Attacks'''
* '''Frozen Hunter''' [''Zwei Hander (Two Hander)'']: He raises his saber forming a giant wolf of light energy, and then takes a slash that is faster than the eye can see.
* '''Cleansing Light''' [''Licht Angriff (Light Attack)'']: Fires missiles and a laser at his opponents.
* '''BeoSabre''': Uses his saber to attack his opponent.

===MagnaGarurumon===

Koji achieves this form when he Unifies the Spirits of Light, Darkness, Thunder, Water and Steel. He fights against, and eventually defeats, [[Dynasmon]] and [[Crusadermon]] alongside [[EmperorGreymon]]. This is the form he assumes during most of his fights against [[Crusadermon]]. He also fights against the corrupted [[Cherubimon]]. When he attacks with any move except Magna Saber, the weapon falls away from MagnaGarurumon afterwards, meaning he can only use each attack (except Magna Saber) once per use of this form.

'''Attacks'''
* '''Starburst Hunter''' (''Starlight Velocity''): MagnaGarurumon dashes forward, and surrounds himself in an aura of light as he crashes into the opponent.
* '''Feral Fire''' (''Machine Gun Destroy''): MagnaGarurumon leaps into the air, propelling himself forward while raining a wave of gunfire blasts down on the enemy below.
* '''Magna Missiles/Rocket''': Consecutive missiles are launched at the opponent.
* '''Magna Saber''' (''Magna Blade''): Unarms himself and unleashes a fury of slashes with his "Magna Blade".

===Susanoomon===
[[Image:Susanoomon.jpg|right|thumb|Susanoomon (スサノオモン)]]
Susanoomon is created when all 10 spirits left by the [[Ancient Warriors]] are fused together, and possesses the combined powers of all 10 [[Legendary Warriors]]. The name "Susanoomon" comes from the [[Shinto]] Storms God [[Susanoo]].

When [[Kouichi Kimura|Kouichi]] sacrificed himself to save the others from [[Lucemon Chaos Mode]], he gave his Spirit of Darkness to his brother Koji. [[Takuya Kanbara|Takuya]] and [[Koji Minamoto|Koji]] then brought all 10 Spirits together and became Susanoomon. In this form, they fought against [[Lucemon]] twice - the first time against [[Lucemon Chaos Mode]], and then again to stop [[Lucemon Shadow Lord Mode]] from entering the human world. In this second fight against Lucemon, Susanoomon was able to penetrate the shadow-sphere where [[Lucemon Larva]] was hiding. In the final battle, Susanoomon managed to shatter the shadow-sphere, destroy [[Lucemon Shadow Lord Mode]], and then split into the 10 separate [[Legendary Warriors]] and destroyed Lucemon once and for all.

'''Attacks'''
* '''Celestial Blade''' (''Amanohabakiri''): Susanoomon fires a blade of energy that can be used to cut his enemies in two.
* '''Heaven's Thunder''' (''Yakusanoikazuchi''): Susanoomon creates clouds which fire enormous bolts of energy down onto his enemies
