Digimon World Dawn gives the player the option to take the role of a Light Fang-aligned Sayo. As appearances of Sayo in other games choose the Night Claw version, this wiki treats the Night Claw Sayo as the default.

Sayo first faces Koh during the Normal Tamer Tournament. However, she is the only Night Claw Tamer to not fall under the ChronoCore's control, although she is confused when her possessed teammates attack Koh during the "Night Crow Assault" quest, and initially challenges him to battle to punish him for "hurting her friends". Afterward, she escapes Darkmoon CITY and allies with Light Fang to save her team, even battling Kowloon Co. with them. They use her Digivice to create an access portal to Darkmoon CITY, and she even lends Koh her Digivice to help him pass through. She eventually attains the rank of Platinum Tamer, and faces off against Koh in the Legendary Tamer Tournament.
