but moved to Italy
two years before the series takes place (in the Italian dub, Zoe was born in Japan but moved to America
). She recently moved back to Japan but had problems making friends due to the culture barrier and because of her attitude. Zoe knows many Italian
words and uses Italian exclamations occasionally. She was voiced by Sawa Ishige
(Japan) and Michelle Ruff
(US). J.P. Shibayama
has a crush on her and blatantly flirts with her.
Zoe is very kind and while she fights, she does it to protect others and herself. As Ranamon
put it, she's usually too nice to kill an enemy. Zoe is Ranamon's arch-foe and she is the one who fights her most often as Ranamon is jealous of her beauty. At times, Ranamons hatred for Zoe leads to ouright cruelty, such as when she tortured her by tickling her obliques and navel. Their rivalry comes down to a fight in Sakkakumon's Water Sphere where Ranamon tries to make her depressed but just strengthens her resolve. Zoe fights her as first Kazemon and then Zephrymon and finally defeats Ranamon in her Calmaramon form. Zoe kills her and as she dies, Ranamon points out how Zoe is too nice to do that, but Zoe decides to make an exception as she's had enough of Ranamon and her bullying. This is the only time Zoe kills on the series.
Kazemon, also known as Fairymon in Japan, is the Human Spirit of Wind. Her original name comes from the English word "fairy", while her name in the dubbed version comes from "kaze", the Japanese word for wind. She is kind, caring and strong. Her preferred attacks are powerful kicks and hurricane force winds. She first transformed into Kazemon on the episode "Kazemon Kicks It" when she confronted with the Mushroom brothers who were endangering the Floramon. She is seen to be not as strong as Ranamon in the episode "The Swiss-Family Digimon" but in the episode before she is quite strong. This is believed to be a lack of energy.
Later she became Kazemon again to help distract the Goblimon, but them beats her. In the episode "Can't Keep a Grumblemon Down", Zoe lost her spirit while fighting Gigasmon in order to save Tommy and didn't get it back until "No Whamon".
Kazemon has large butterfly-like wings sprouting from her back. She uses these wings to take flight.

Zephyrmon, also known as Shutumon, is the Beast Spirit of Wind. Her Japanese name comes from the word Shutu who is the Sumerian god of the south wind. Her English name comes from Zephyrus, the Greek god of the west wind. She is agile, swift and powerful, and always ready to fight and protect her friends. Considered the most beautiful and fierce of all the spirits, Zephyrmon attacks by manipulating energy, wind and slicing foes with her razor sharp claws, which can also slice through Calmaramon's Acid Ink. Surprisingly, Zoe was able to control her Beast Spirit without any challenge, contrary to the boys (except Koichi who had no trouble because he was trying to protect his brother Koji and Tommy who was trying to protect Takuya, Koji, Bokomon, Neemon and Datamon), whose Beast Spirits went on destructive rampages or were having some minor problems with maintaining control until the boys learned to control them; this ability Zoe attributes to her being a girl. However, it was her need to fly that allowed her to control it quickly; Zoe felt she needed to fly to protect her friends and was thus able to control it fast. Zephyrmon first appeared on the episode "The Swiss-Family Digimon" to fight Ranamon, the Warrior of Water who attacked the Digidestined as they attempted to cross the water to get to the island where the Gomamon lived after she defeats his Kazemon. Zephrymon later defeated and killed Ranamon in a one on one fight with Ranamon as Calmaramon.
Zephyrmon can use her large brown wings to take the air and soar through the sky at incredible speeds. She also has the vision of an eagle.

In this second fight against Lucemon, Susanoomon was able to penetrate the shadow-sphere where Lucemon Larva was hiding. In the final battle, Susanoomon managed to shatter the shadow-sphere, destroy Lucemon Shadow Lord Mode, and then split into the 10 separate Legendary Warriors and destroyed Lucemon for good. Susanoomon also has a huge sword which can shoot out a blade of pure energy.
