Digimon makes its 5th season debut this fall on Toon Disney's Jetix block with Digimon: Data Squad, adding a new cast of characters and bold storylines to the globally-renowned action-adventure franchise.
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 intrudes into the Human World to cause nothing but trouble.

The Digimon: Data Squad cast also includes Marcus' rival, teen prodigy Thomas H. Norstein and his beast-type Digimon partner Gaoman and Yoshino Fujieda, the only girl in the DATS and her plant-type Digimon partner Lalamon.
