Name Origins
English Name: Kokuwamon
Origin: Same as the Japanese name origin.
Japanese Name: Kokuwamon
Origin: In Japanese, 'ko' means 'baby' and 'kuwa' is short for 'kuwagata' which means 'stag beetle'.

Card Explanations Needed: none

My Card Comments: Kokuwamon is not only a strong attacking card, but also has a very very nice Special Effect. More on that below...

Hints, Tips, & Strategies: Because Kokuwamon's Special Effect doubles the bonuses from Digi-Destined Boost Attack cards, it's power can be increased to probably well above a Mega's power level. Let's say You play 1 Boost Attack card on Kokuwamon that add +500 to it's attack. That gives Kokuwamon a total power of 2000. If you play a Boost Attack card that doubles Kokuwamon's power, along with the Special Effect that doubles the card's effect, that gives Kokuwamon a grand total of 4000 Attack points. By the wording of the Special Effect, it seems to only effect 1 Boost Attack card at a time. I'll have to look into whether it effects Every Boost Attack card used on Kokuwamon at the same time or not...

 I don't suppose it would because if you played 2 +500 Attack cards on Kokuwamon and then an x2 Attack card it would make Kokuwamon's Attack power an amazing 12000 (1000 + (500 x 2) + (500 x 2) = 3000 x 2 = 6000 x 2 = 12000), and you only need 7500 Data Points to win the game. If it is meant to double the effect of every Boost Attack card, then it would probably have to be considered a flaw by the design team since the possibility of a Rookie having that much power unbalances the game.

Additional Name/Attack Info: Because of Kokuwamon's attack name and name origins it's a very distinct possibility that it's Kuwagamon's official Rookie.
