Japan as nihongo|Miyako Inoue|井ノ上 京|Inoue Miyako, is a character in theanime andmanga "Digimon Adventure 02 ".She is partnered to
Hawkmon and as such is the first central DigiDestined to be partnered with an opposite sex Digimon, as Hawkmon is male. Yolei is a touch on the geeky side, stubborn, cheeky and impulsive. While she is somewhat loud and bold, she is very sincere and true to her feelings to the point where she is often unaware of others or how her feelings are affecting them. Yolei is compassionate and generous, but capable of being decisive and resourceful. She has odd tendencies to suddenly become depressed without explanation, but always finds the strength to come back and help her friends.Yolei's most notable skill is her technical prowess; she can fix anything from a toaster oven to a computer. She helps her family in an Ai-Mart convenience store,
Cody Hida (Iori Hida in Japan) andT.K. Takaishi (Takeru Takaishi in Japan) live in. She works in it often and takes food from it to supply the group and their ever-hungry Digimon with. She has a crush onKen Ichijouji and idolizesMimi Tachikawa andKoushiro Izumi . She is apparently the youngest of four siblings: she has two sisters (high school-aged Momoe, junior high-aged Chizuru) and a brother (college-bound Mantarou).Important events
Digimon Adventure: Our War Game
She was among the kids who had indirectly helped the
DigiDestined out in their fight withDiaboromon . As a result, she would eventually become a DigiDestined herself.Digimon 02: First Half
She obtained her D-3,
Hawkmon and the Digi-Egg of Love on her first week of her final year inOdaiba Elementary. On "Golden Weekend", the main characters got a surprise visit from Mimi whom Yolei got along with well. When the Odaiba Elementary soccer team was to play a match against the team from Tamachi, Yolei was disappointed when it seemed Ken wouldn't show up but then he did. However, Yolei was shocked to learn that Ken was the Digimon Emperor.Later, when a Dark SpiraledDigitamamon attacked Mimi, Yolei lost her composure and began screaming at him. This outburst resulted in the manifestation of the Digi-Egg of Sincerity, which Yolei used to Armor Digivolve Hawkmon toShurimon , who freed Digitamamon from the Spiral.When the location of the Digimon Emperor’s base was discovered, the DigiDestined decided that they would have to stay in the Digital World until it was destroyed. Yolei covered up the fact that she was nervous with some ridiculously over-the-top eagerness, barking orders and rushing around, even managing to scale a Control Spire. When her over-eagerness lead to Hawkmon getting poisoned by
Dokugumon , Yolei felt guilty about it. Hawkmon was alright about it as he preferred Yolei as she is.Digimon 02: Hurricane Touchdown/Golden Armor Evolution
Getting a distress message from Kari, Yolei went to the United States with the other DigiDestined to help her and T.K. But on the way, they met Willis, a DigiDestined from Colorado, whose rogue Digimon partner (
Kokomon ) was the cause of it.Digimon 02: Second Half
Davis thought it was a good idea to ask Ken to join their group. Yolei did not agree since she had seen
Stingmon killThundermon at Ken’s command. However, when Mimi called on the new kids to help battle aGolemon , Yolei was forced to confront her feelings about Ken, which led to her accepting him. While searching forGatomon ’s lost power ring, she, Ken and Kari ended up in the Dark World. Upon finding the Dark Ocean, Kari lost her composure due to her last visit. This event was taken advantage of byBlossomon . It took Yolei's slap and harsh words to make the two girls see eye-to-eye, causing them to give their Digimon the power to DNA Digivolve.At Christmas, Yolei, Sora and their Digimon were sent to
Russia but they had no translator to help them cross the language barrier with the Russian DigiDestined. Yolei's attempts at charades eventually succeeded when she used the names of Russian foods to co-ordinate their attacks on theFlymon above the city. After going home, Yolei witnessedLadyDevimon 's death bySilphymon , much to her horror. Yolei accepted it as they saved the current victims and any future victims of the sadistic Digimon.At the Other World, Yolei was subjected to
MaloMyotismon 's illusion. Her desires were to be an only child and getting to eat all of the desserts (she's always had a thing for cake). Hawkmon andExVeemon broke her free of the illusion and she then joined with the other kids, who were in the process of breaking free of their illusions. Yolei used the power of the dream dimension against MaloMyotismon withAquillamon , Shurimon,Halsemon and Silphymon appearing all at once.
=Digimon 02: Michi E No Armor Shinka= WhenPukumon entered the scene with a Control Spire, Joe was knocked into the 02 gang and Yolei ended up with Davis's D-Terminal, allowing Hawkmon to Armor Digivolve toRinkmon .Digimon 02: Diaboromon Strikes Back
Three years after the events of 'Our War Game', the evil
Diaboromon resumed his reign of terror on the Internet. Yolei was trying on uniforms for Odaiba Jr. High when she was called by Izzy and was filled in on the situation. TheKuramon were bio-emerging via e-mail so while Tai, Matt and their Digimon entered cyberspace to battle Diaboromon once more, the others had to track down the Kuramon. Yolei and Kari found the first and caught it for Izzy to examine. When Davis learned that Kari, T.K. and their Digimon had gone to help their big brothers andOmnimon , he urged Yolei to open the gate for him so he could go to Kari. But Yolei made the gate too wide and the entire Kuramon swarm emerged from the gate before heading to Tokyo Harbor to assimilate intoArmageddemon . Yolei was forced to watch the battle to follow untilImperialdramon destroyed the monster. Using her laptop, Yolei activated the cell phones of the crowd watching the battle, who then used them to capture the Kuramon, while the DigiDestined did the same with their Digivices, to send them all back to Izzy to take care of them.
=Digimon 02: Series Finale Epilogue= By the year 2027, Yolei marries Ken and is a housewife. She has a pre-teen daughter with aPoromon , a son around 10 years old with aMinomon and a baby who is a boy with aLeafmon .Digimon Adventure V-Tamer 01
During one of her battles as a kid, she and the other 02 DigiDestined encountered Parallelmon, who absorbed her, T.K., Kari and Cody, as the monster inadvertently sent Davis into the V-Tamer 01 world. There, Davis meets Tai. Yolei and the others helped Davis from inside the monster by recreating the Digi-Egg of Miracles. With the monster destroyed, Davis and his friends returned to their continuity.
