James "Jimmy" Kojiro

New pic. This time, it's Jimmy!

Jimmy and his friend Jesalyn attend school with Tyrone and the others. As you can probably tell by the name, Jimmy's partially of Japanese descent. Anyway, despite what you might think of Jimmy. He's not homo. He's hetero. Maybe even a little metro. Simply put, he's just a boy with WAAAAAAY too much fashion sense. Jimmy and Jesalyn are a couple of enigmas, as they're not enemies of the main Hypermon crew, but they're not necessarily their friends either.

Jimmy DID share a Hypermon partner with Jesalyn, however, I didn't like that particular monster, so I nuked him from existance in Hypermon. However, in Project Hyperion, Jimmy AND Jesalyn will get bigger roles and Hypermon partners for themselves.

Jimmy and Jesalyn's reason for being is the fact that I wanted Team Rocket-like characters in Hypermon. Here's how that particular conversation went:

Me: Mom, Dad, Mr. Satoshi Tajiri? Can I have Team Rocket?
My parents and Tajiri-san: Hahahahahahahahaha, no.
Me: ...

I just said fuck it and decided to make them up on my own. Jimmy and Jesalyn are actually fans of Team Star in my other series, Mon Trainer. Since they're such big fans, they decided to copy the getup and whatnot.
