Digimon Tamers (デジモンテイマーズ Dejimon Teimāzu) is the third anime series in the Digimon franchise. The series was broadcast on Fuji TV from April 1, 2001 to March 31, 2002, replacing Digimon Adventure 02. It tells a story completely independent of the previous two Digimon series.

Synopsis Takato Matsuda is a huge Digimon fan that's particularly obsessed with the card game, and constantly daydreams about the universe therein. One day, he finds a mysterious blue card, which he slides through a scanner toy to use in the popular battle game. His toy suddenly glows and transforms into a Digivice, and Takato's fan-made design, Guilmon, materialises in front of him. Thrilled by the prospect of having a real-life Digimon, Takato embraces his new partner, and his adventures as a Digimon Tamer begin. Takato quickly discovers that being a Digimon Tamer is not all fun and games—in reality, it's much more dangerous than the card games he's accustomed to. Wild Digimon have begun to appear all across Japan, causing rampages that result in chaos and mayhem. Armed with his Digivice, which can scan trading cards to strengthen Guilmon, Takato and his new partner set out to combat the rogue Digimon. They are tasked with protecting the world from Digimon attacks, whilst a mysterious organization determined to eliminate all Digimon and their Tamers lurks in the shadows...

A little known alternate dub was produced and aired in Singapore for airing in South East Asia. Despite featuring most of the name changes from the English dub, it has a slightly more faithful script and keeps the original background music.
