'''Joe Kido''', known in Japan as {{nihongo|'''Jou Kido'''|城戸 丈|''Kido Jō''}}, is a character in the [[anime]] and [[manga]] series [[Digimon Adventure]] and [[Digimon Adventure 02]]. He is in the sixth grade. He is partnered to [[Gomamon]].
In the Japanese anime, Joe has two older brothers, named Shin and Shuu. The two brothers "became" one brother named Jim in the English anime due to choices that were made in the dubbing process. Joe's father planned on the boys to each become a [[Physician|doctor]], a tradition which had existed since the [[Edo period]]. Joe is the bearer of the Crest of Reliability (Faithfulness/Sincerity/Integrity in Japan).<ref>The title of his instrumental theme, "Blue Faith," lends some credibility to the 'Faithfulness' translation, but plain 'faith' is incorrect. Translations of 'seijitsu' vary, including honesty, sincerity, integrity and faithfulness. As there is no real English equivalent, 'Reliability' is a good catchall term.</ref>

==Prelude to Digimon Adventure==
He witnessed the [[Greymon]]/[[Parrotmon]] fight. As a result he became a Digidestined.

==Digimon Adventure==
In spite of his constant worrying and his tendency to feel "allergic" to everything around him (dub only), Joe has a strong sense of responsibility. In many instances, he takes it upon himself to be the voice of reason within the group and tries, often without success, to steer the other DigiDestined away from reckless action. He is often perceived as being a "stick in the mud" and his "safety first" attitude is often the source of teasing from other characters, especially [[Gomamon]], his Digimon partner who feels he should lighten up and look on the bright side of things.

However, his sense of responsibility sometimes leads him into selfless and brave actions. His Crest of Reliability first activated during a battle with [[MegaSeadramon]] whom he and [[T. K. Takaishi]] encountered en route to Odaiba. Joe was able to save T.K. from drowning at his own expense. Because he was able to put T.K.’s safety before his own, his crest glowed and [[Ikkakumon]] was able to Digivolve into his Ultimate form [[Zudomon]] for the first time and make short work of MegaSeadramon. Also, shortly after the DigiDestined returned to the Digital World and [[Mimi Tachikawa]] lost the will to fight due to the untimely death of a few close Digimon allies, Joe decided to be the one to stay with her so she wouldn’t be alone. There is a slight possibility that there is a romantic interest between the two, but this is never clarified.

In May 2000, Joe arrived in the Digital World and gave up his Crest power to free the [[Digimon Sovereigns]]. As a result, Gomamon lost the power to become [[Zudomon]].

==Digimon Adventure 02==

All his studying pays off as he is now a senior in a private middle school (or a junior in a high school in the dub). He later is busy studying for the high school entrance exams while helping the others out with the spare time that he has. One of his older brothers, Shuu, is revealed to be studying folklore under Professor Takenouchi, Sora's father.

===Michi e no Armor Shinka===
Much of Joe's family history was revealed as well as how his father now accepts his son's choice to carry on their tradition or not. It was because of Joe that the D-Terminals were all mixed up & new Armor forms were introduced to fight [[Pukumon]].

===Revenge of Diaboromon===
At the beginning of the movie, Joe was busy trying to register himself in a high school of his choice. Later on, he helped secure some bikes for [[Daisuke Motomiya|Davis]] and [[Ken Ichijouji|Ken]] so they could get to the harbor, which was where their partners were.

==Digimon Adventure 02 Series Finale Epilogue==
By the year 2027, Joe becomes a doctor for Digimon, though his patients keep eating his tongue depressors. In a way his family's tradition continues and his son (who very closely resembles him, and has a [[Bukamon]]) may carry it out as well. His second eldest brother, Shuu, appears to be working with Izzy and Sora's father to study the Digital World. He has a son, who has a [[Pukamon]]. His wife is not mentioned.

==Songs==
* Joe has two Japanese image songs, "Chigau Boku ga Iru" ("There's Another Me) and "Kaze ni Mukatte" ("Face the Wind") as well as a third one sung with Gomamon ([[Junko Takeuchi]]) called "Sora wo Crawl" ("Crawl Across the Sky").
