Agumon was created by Kenji Watanabe for the Digital Monster Virtual Pet in 1997 and was created to be a dinosaur that would be able to be taken on a stroll.While creating the Digimon Adventure short, director Mamoru Hosoda wanted to focus on Tai and Kari's relationship with Koromon, the Digimon that appeared in their house. The main theme of the movie was how Tai and Kari had problems interacting with the Digimon as across its multiple forms, he is either silent or talkative. Due to time constraints, Hosoda claimed that the friendship presented was one-dimensional.
Agumon first appeared in the original video animation (OVA) Digimon as a recently born Digimon who befriends the toddlers Tai Kamiya and Kari Kamiya. As it bonds with them, it evolves. When a giant Digimon known as Parrotmon invades the city, the two engage in fight. Agumon is nearly defeated but regains consciousness when Tai plays the whistle. Shortly afterwards, Agumon disappears alongside his enemy.
Agumon later appears in the anime Digimon Adventure as Tai's partner Digimon when the human finds himself lost in the Digital World. He is simple-minded, but he always believes Tai has the best interests for the team and trusts him as a friend. His other forms are Botamon (ボタモン) (Baby), Koromon (コロモン) (In-training) and Greymon (グレイモン, Gureimon) (Champion).[8] Tai finds an item known as Crest of Courage, he forces Greymon to reach a new evolution form SkullGreymon (スカルグレイモン, Sukarugureimon) but it becomes berserk and attacks all his allies. When becoming tired, SkullGreymon returns to his Koromon form and Tai requests forgiveness for acting so reckless. Agumon reaches his appropriate Ultimate form, MetalGreymon (メタルグレイモン, Metarugureimon), when Tai unawarely shows bravery to save Sora and defeat Etemon. The fight results in Tai and Koromon finding themselves in the human world where Kari confuses him for the other Koromon from the OVA. Tai and Koromon eventually return to the Digital World to aid their friends.[9] During the battle against the stronger VenomMyotismon, Tai and Agumon are given new powers thanks to Angewomon's arrow allowing the Digimon to take the Mega Digimon. WarGreymon (ウォーグレイモン, Wōgureimon). After saving the Digital World from the Dark Masters and Apocalymon, Agumon says Tai farewell as the latter returns to the human world.
