TRANSLATION:
Season 01
In year 1999 (time of the first season) Davis wasn't a digidestined yet and he hadn't a digivice. Besides that, he wasn't shown in season 1, but in season 2 he mentioned that he was there where Myotismon attacked the real world.
Davis and the digidestined company went in the digital world on a lunch. Not long after their lunch Mimi came from to the Digital world too. With her she brought her friend Michael and he had the old digivice (the same as Tai and the others have). He told them that he saw a huge Digimon and that that's the reason why he became a digidestined in year 2001.
After this all of digidestined told how they saw a digimon. In first season Myotismon captured a lot of people with help of Bakemons in one Odaiba's building (that building is called Tokyo Big Sight). And in there was also Davis with his family. And that's all we knew about him from that age. He looked the same as he does when he grow up - just without the goggles.
I watched that episode from season 1 again and I was really really concentrationg on the people captured in Big Sight. Unfortunately I couldn't see him (:P), but there was one with the same hair but it's color was different and he was much older than Davis should be at that time. And there were a lot of people with a brown hair! ;)
Season 02
Davis takes the leadership from Tai, who he knows from a football club, they were visiting together. Tai actually introduced Digimon to Davis, but since Davis didn't know anything about it, he didn't pay really atention to it. Davis is very stubborn and he never wants to quit or lose - just like Tai in season 1, when he was the leader. This quality brings other digidestined often in danger but in the end it shows up it was worth risking. He loses hit temper easily, especially because of T.K., or when the innocent ones suffer (xD). He doesn't get along that well with T.K. because of his jealousy (Kari), but they still are good friends. Their relationship isn't the same as Matt's and Tai's because T.K. hasn't got anything against Davis. He also likes to eat (that's often a characteristic of the main anime characters), he loves soup the most and his great wish is to become the best soup-cook some day (and 25 years later he actually does!).
Digimon Xros Wars (Digimon Hunters)
Davis' first appearance in Xros Wars is in episode 78. He came there with V-mon to help Digimon Hunters with Myotismons. Davis is in the same age as Tai, even though we know that Tai is older than Davis. That's because they came there from different demension and also from different time. So they are in the same age in Xros Wars. In episode 78 the old man (who was actually Bugramon) explained why all these different people were suddenly in the same world and the same time.
The old man: I've used Clockmon's abilities to call together heroes of different times and different dimensions. They are heroes who have once saved their own worlds years ago. It will be necessary for all six of its leaders to combine their powers.Later in that episode Ken came too. He came so that Davis' Digimon V-mon and Stingmon could digivolve together in Imperialdramon. In the last episode (79) Davis (and others) lend their powers to Tagiru so that he could pulled out the Brave Snatcher (their only weapon). The Brave Snatcher is really heavy so Tagiru decided to go to him and get it (if the snatcher won't come out). Davis and the others go with them. In the end they get the Brave Snatcher and they defeat the enemy!*
The Brave Snatcher has our power ... The power of all generations fused together!**

DRAMA CD: Digimon adventure 02: original story, spring 2003
This Drama CD is happening in spring 2003 (At many pages I saw that they write the name of the drama as Summer 2003, but on the
CD there's a japanese kanji for spring and not summer). So, this Drama is actually after season 2 but before the epilogue. This happen
one year after they became a Digidestined (Davis, Yolei and Cody).
In Davis' part he talks about goggles, power, Tai ... He said that he remembered a little from that time when he and his family were captured in a Tokyo Big Sight. He remembers Tai on a dinosaur, he remembers his goggles. He was really happy when Tai gave it to him. He said that they make him motivated and he can feel all the power. There is also the voice who is asking him about these goggles and bad Digimon and all that stuff. Davis is answering him - that Tai gave him goggles, that for beating evil Digimon you have to have something more than power - you have to know which Digimon are bad ... After this Davis said that only their group can open the Digital world and that they still have a lot of things to do there and that he had to pass his goggles to another child to motivate him ~ he did that in an epilogue - he gave his goggles to his son.

One year after Movie 3
DRAMA CD: Digimon adventure 02: the door to summer
This Drama CD is happening in summer 2003! Davis and his partner DemiVeemon went to New York, because they wanted to see
New York and they hoped that this year will be better than last year - last year they fought Wallace's Digimon partner and they had
to save Tai and his company ...
In the beginning we found out that this summer wasn't really "nice" to Davis. Kari rejected him (she just refused his invitation to the beach) and he was really sad about it and also he failed at soccer match. He was also "depressed" because even Cody had a girlfriend - first he wanted to hang out with him.
He met in New York with Mimi (and I didn't know that they have a really good relationship ;D) and Wallace. They were really happy to meet again - I don't know how long Davis didn't see Mimi, but he didn't see Wallace for one year.
Davis started to hear some voices (other didn't hear a thing) and suddenly the entire city falled under the winter. Davis still heard some voices, he followed them and he found a really cute girl who was more interested in Davis than Wallace (he really couldn't understand why is that so). They gave her name - Nat-chan (first DemiVeemon wanted to name her Hikari, but Davis was against it). Nat was really jealous of their relationship - between human and digimon. She was really interested in Davis but when he said didn't want to leave DemiVeemon and others she started to be interested in Wallace. After Davis' getting into fight with DemiVeemon he went walking. Nat came after him and she was really nice. She also said to him that he is really nice and Davis was really happy because she was the first girl who said that. DemiVeemon interupted them and he also fall in the river and Davis saved him. They both went back to Mimi and Wallace without Nat. They started to search for her and they found her. She started evolving and roaring. Davis realised that she wanted him as a partner and that she fell really lonely. Davis managed to calm her and after an explosion this winter weather disappeared and there was a DigiEgg (that was Nat). Davis and the others decided to look for her human partner ~ their digimon partners complained about the heat all the time.

Family
UNNAMED MOTHER
We don't know her name and a lot things about her. She isn't shown that much. But when she is I really don't know what to think about her. She loves her kids like every
other mother (she thanked Shu (Joe's older brother) for driving him home and in the last episode she said to believe in Davis and in the rest of the digidestined. But once
when Davis introduced Ken to her (and the rest of his family) she acts totally different. She was very excited that her son in hanging out with so brilient guy and she
wanted to order some sushi and Davis' father begged Ken to tutor Davis.
UNNAMED FATHER
We don't know his name either. His job is in publishing and he is an acquaintance of T.K.'s mother, who is an investigative reporter. I think that he thinks that Davis' stupid. I mean, when Davis brought Ken to his house, Davis' father begged Ken to tutor his stupid son.
(He actually used this word). But he loves his family. When Davis and his family was captured 3 years ago (season 1), his father (and also his mother) was very protective.
And even in the last episode of season 2, Davis' parents (and Jun) were there together with all the other parents and they all really cared for their children.
CHILD ~ SON
25 years after Season 02 Davis has one child - son. He looks just like his father when he was young. We don't know his name and we don't even know
who his mother is. As all children in the world he also has his own digimon partner. You guessed right, his digimon partner is DemiVeemon! And on his shirt is written "son" in
japanese language. So that you don't mistake him for Davis ;P
JUN MOTOMIYA
Jun is Davis' older sister. She is 17 years old and that makes her 6 years older. She and Davis don't get along very well. They fight all the time which is actually not a big deal.
In the beginning Jun is obsessed with Matt (in forth movie she also has a "Matt chain" on her mobile). She goes to his concert and she also get an autograph. She doesn't think that Davis is cute like Matt or T.K. are. She wished that T.K. and
Matt were her brothers. When T.K. mentioned to Davis that he met his sister Davis was sure that she was talking bad things about him - because she usually does. Because Davis said that
they don't care about eachother and that she is a stupid girl/sister he got in a fight with Matt. Jun said that she really envy him, because he doesn't do anything and he doesn't think
that much. She tried to talk to him, but Davis didn't listen to her and she unpluged his play station, because she was talking to him.
On christmas concert Jun bought Matt a lot of presents. After the concert she saw
Matt and Sora together and got over him. Her new "victim" was Joe's older brother Shuu. She said that older boys are better than younger (Shuu is in college and Matt is 3 years younger than Jun).
Jun remembers the Digital monsters from 3 years ago and even thought that she "doesn't" like Davis she was supporting and believing in him in the last episode of season 2. And she also get a Digimon partner
(that's mentioned in CD drama).
