At the same time, Sora begins learning flower arranging from her mother. She adores the younger DigiDestined as an older sister, but worries about her relationship with Tai.<ref name="toei2">{{cite web | url=http://www.toei-anim.co.jp/tv/digimon02/char-file/sora.htm | title=Sora | language=Japanese | work=[[Toei Animation]] | accessdate=2010-12-25}}</ref>
-==Appearances==
-===Pilot film===
-Sora first appeared in the short pilot film ''[[Digimon_Adventure#Digimon_Adventure_.28Movie.29|Digimon Adventure]]'' (1999), which was combined as the first part of ''[[Digimon: The Movie]]'' (2000) was localized. The film depicts her first encounter with a Digimon as a young child.
-===In the television series===
-Succeeding the film, Sora is a main character in the television series ''[[Digimon Adventure]]'' (1999). In this series, Sora is in fifth grade and is eleven years old.
-[[Image:Sora02.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Sora in Digimon Adventure 02 (season 2)]]
-In the sequel, ''[[Digimon Adventure 02]]'', Sora appears less frequently due to relinquishing her abilities to [[Yolei Inoue]], but still volunteers when needed.<ref name="toei2"></ref> Taking place roughly four years after ''Digimon Adventure'' (three years in the original version), Sora is now in tenth grade and fifteen years old (eighth grade and fourteen years old in the original version). Near the end of the series, Sora falls in love with [[Yamato "Matt" Ishida|Matt]], and in the epilogue they are married with a daughter and a son, both of whom are partnered with a [[Yokomon]] and [[Tsunomon]] respectively. She has also become a famous [[fashion designer]].
-===In the video games===
-Sora makes a cameo as a [[non-playable character]] in the [[WonderSwan]] game ''[[Digimon Adventure: Anode/Cathode Tamer]]'', where she is captured by [[Milleniummon]] and jailed with [[Takeru "T.K." Takaishi|T.K.]] until [[Ryo Akiyama]] comes to their rescue.
-In the game ''Digimon Tamers: Brave Tamer'', Sora and Biyomon are attacked by [[Meramon]], and Ryo has the option to save her over [[Yolei Inoue|Yolei]] and [[Rika Nonaka|Rika]]. Following the end of the battle, he allows Biyomon to join his party.
-===In other films===
-In the film ''Our War Game!'' (2000), the second part of the localized ''Digimon: The Movie'', which takes place on the spring break after ''Digimon Adventure'', Sora appears but does not participate in the battle due to an argument with Tai.
-When the film featurette release of ''Digimon Hurricane Landing!'' and its second part, ''Supreme Evolution! The Golden Digimentals'', which also made the third part of ''Digimon: The Movie'', Sora is captured by [[Wendigomon]] during his search for Willis and is de-aged until Davis and Willis defeat him. Due to ''Digimon Hurricane Landing!/Supreme Evolution! The Golden Digimentals'' being heavily cut when the movie was localized for ''Digimon: The Movie'', this subplot was removed in the English version.<ref name="edit">{{cite book |title= |last=Beck |first=Jerry |authorlink= |coauthors= |year=2005 |publisher=Chicago Review Press |location= |isbn=978-1556525919  |page= |pages=348 |url= |accessdate=2011-01-22}}</ref>
-The sequel of ''Our War Game!'', ''Revenge of Diaboromon'' (2001), takes place on the spring break after ''Digimon Adventure 02''. Again, Sora is unable to participate in the battle due to her train being halted at tennis camp.
-===In the CD dramas===
-Sora is featured in supplementary audio dramas released on CD during the television series' run, most of which consist of miscellaneous adventures with the other DigiDestined that do not relate to the overall plot of the show. These include Sora having her own radio show. <ref name="audio1">{{cite video |people= |date=November 5, 1999 |title=Digimon Adventure: Character Song + Mini Drama 1 |url= |format=CDA |medium= |language=Japanese |publisher=King Records |location=Japan |archiveurl= |archivedate= |accessdate=2011-01-22 |time= |id= |isbn= |oclc= |quote= |ref= }}</ref>

-In Japan, excluding the pilot film ''Digimon Adventure'', all of Sora's appearances were voiced by [[Yūko Mizutani]]. <ref name="toei1"></ref> [[Ai Maeda (voice actress)|Ai Maeda]] <ref name="voice">{{cite web | url=http://digitalscratch.wordpress.com/2009/08/01/interview-memories-of-da-pt-3 | title=Memories of Our Digimon Adventure, Part 3 | accessdate=2010-12-26}}</ref> and [[Umi Tenjin]] <ref name="voice2">{{cite web | url=http://digitalscratch.wordpress.com/2009/08/01/interview-memories-of-da-pt-4 | title=Memories of Our Digimon Adventure, Part 4 | accessdate=2010-12-26}}</ref> had also auditioned for Sora, but were casted as [[Mimi Tachikawa|Mimi]] and [[Koushiro "Izzy" Izumi|Izzy]] respectively.
-In the English dub, [[Colleen O'Shaughnessey]] provides her voice, although she did audition for other roles in the show.
-==Merchandise==
-During the run of the television series ''Digimon Adventure'' and ''Digimon Adventure 02'', Sora was included in merchandise such as trading cards.

All songs were performed by her voice actress, [[Yūko Mizutani]].
