Joe is a cautious and anxious 12-year-old boy, constantly balancing the weight of responsibility with his fear of failure. His time at the Dum Dum Factory has only heightened his natural nervousness, as he works to keep the machine Digimon in working order while navigating the unsettling environment. Though he is hesitant and often doubts his abilities, Joe’s desire to protect others and do the right thing shines through when it matters most. Despite his self-perceived cowardice, he is dependable in a crisis and demonstrates quiet bravery when pushed to his limits.

Joe’s personality is shaped by the expectations placed on him, both as a child from a family of doctors and as someone thrust into a bizarre, high-stakes world. His journey is about realizing his own strength and learning to trust himself.

Seeking a voice actor who can convey Joe’s nervous, cautious nature with a youthful but slightly frazzled tone. The voice should reflect his anxiety and overthinking, while still leaving room for moments of quiet determination and bravery. The performer should strike a balance between portraying Joe’s hesitance and his earnest desire to help and protect others, creating a relatable and heartfelt character.
