Digimon: Data Squad, the fifth season of Toei Animation's mega-hit animated series Digimon franchise, will debut at 8:30 p.m. Monday, October 1 Toon Disney's Jetix block.
Introducing a new cast of characters and bold storylines, Digimon: Data Squad continues the adventures of 14-year-old Marcus and dinosaur-type partner Agumon as they challenge the menacing Digimon from the Digital World who intrude into the Human World to cause nothing but trouble. For their efforts, the pair is inducted into DATS (Data Squad), a special investigation unit called in to ensure planetary safety.
Being a reformed schoolyard punk, Marcus learns to channel his belligerence toward the evil Digimon, and to work as a team to help protect the human world from ruin.
The Digimon: Data Squad cast also includes Marcus' rival, teen prodigy Thomas H. Norstein and his beast-type Digimon partner Gaoman, and Yoshino, the only girl in the DATS and her plant-type Digimon partner Lalamon.
Legendary Japanese animation studio Toei Animation is the creator of Digimon, which ranks among the most popular and longest-running action series in the world. In addition to the launch of the animated television series on Jetix, Bandai America Inc. will be releasing an expansive line of Digimon: Data Squad toys in November, while NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. has set video games based on the newest Digimon series for the fall.
