That evening, he observed the Tamers' battle with Harpymon and decided that it was time to end things. Jeri's arrival distracted the boys and Yamaki departed, only to have Henry pursue him but, unsurprisingly, the boy failed to catch him. Yamaki was subsequently able to identify the two boys by name and tracked them down to deliver a warning – stop playing their dangerous game. He observed the battle from afar as Takato, Henry and their Digimon defeated Musyamon. Yamaki headed for the Shinjuku Guard Rail, the site of Musyamon's bio-emergence. He reappeared the following day and destroyed Yuggoth when it attempted to target him. It was not to be, however – Musyamon's data survived and his voice was heard in Hypnos headquarters, declaring his desire for revenge. Hypnos was unable to stop IceDevimon from bio-emerging but seemed to have more luck with Musyamon, who was apparently destroyed by Yuggoth. There was little action that could be taken, however, but when Growlmon destroyed Devidramon, Yamaki charged Riley with inventing a cover story for the incident. When a Devidramon Bio-Emerged and flew over the city in clear view of the populace, Yamaki viewed the Digimon's audacity as a personal insult. The Tamers just managed to rescue Guilmon before the Yuggoth struck. That night, when Guilmon slipped into a warp between Earth and the Digital World, Hypnos picked up the signal from the tunnel under the park and Yamaki, in direct defiance of orders from above, uploaded his Yuggoth deletion program into the Hypnos system and had Riley target the tunnel with it. The secretary made it clear that Hypnos was to remain a secret from the public and that all Digimon connection to the Real World was to be eliminated.

While on another field mission, Yamaki was called back to headquarters by Tally at the request of his superior, the Chief Cabinet Secretary, to fully explain the nature of Hypnos. Yamaki and his Hypnos underlings continued to observe the Bio-Emergence of other Wild Ones, only to have the Tamers and their Digimon defeat them. The following day, after Guilmon had battled Renamon in Shinjuku Park, Yamaki headed up the team that examined the battlefield and found a Modify Card lying on the ground. When the Wild One known as Guilmon bio-emerged, Yamaki instructed a tracer to be kept on him, to see what he would do. He usually defers to Takato, recognizing him as the Tamers' leader, and even begins showing concern for the children's safety. He is also able to maintain faith in the Tamers even when things got tough during Megidramon's rampage and the D-Reaper crisis. Later on, he realizes that his attempts to exterminate the Digimon have only made the Real World more vulnerable, and grows to accept that Takato's approach is a more successful method, as some Digimon are peaceful. He is involved in a relationship with Hypnos chief systems operator, Riley Ohtori. Grow Mon Grow At nearly all times, Yamaki maintained a very calm persona, rarely displaying any emotion.Īmong Yamaki's traits is his compulsion to flick open and close the silver Zippo lighter he always carries. He has been shown when frustrated to possess a tremendous but well controlled temper that makes him appear somewhat unhinged when his rage begins to show. Yamaki, a stiff man of few outward emotions, grew to hate the creatures, viewing them embodiments of chaos and disorder, a danger to humanity, as well as mere faulty programs. When Hypnos became aware of Digimon existing autonomously within the network, protocols were immediately established to deal with these Wild Ones, as they were code-named, as they began to Bio-Emerge into the Real World. Yamaki apparently also worked on other government projects before. Yamaki was responsible for designing the Hypnos system, which keeps a constant watch over the Earth's electronic communications network, secretly monitoring and recording information and acts as section chief to the organization named for his creation. While his sinister, black-suited exterior seems to present Yamaki as little more than a basic G-man, his ever-present shades hide the mind of an electronics genius.
