Noboru Sunayama

Noboru Sunayama (砂山ノボル) is the operator of DesertMan.EXE and a member of the WWW in MegaMan Battle Network 3. He is a television producer of DNN that created the N1 Grand Prix, and participates the tournament as "NetBattler Q".

Personality
Sunayama is an impatient man, often trying to get Lan and the other contestants to their destinations on time quickly, making liberal use of the word "pronto". He also cares deeply about his ratings and putting on a good show for his audience. This is evidenced when he battles Chaud and prolongs the battle in order to keep it interesting for the viewers. Even when he was going to jail, he asked to see the ratings for the N1 Grand Prix. He also has a habit of narrating everything he does, as if in a televison show.

MegaMan Battle Network 3
He first appears after the school trip to Scilab and invites Lan, Mayl, Dex and Yai to the N1 Grand Prix preliminaries. He then gets Lan for the second qualifying round. He does commentary for contest at Hades Island and before the semi finals. Then while, Chaud and ProtoMan.EXE are fighting Netbattler Q, he reveals his true identity and mission. He is a WWW member sent to delete ProtoMan to display WWW's power. After he starts losing, he cuts the power and kidnaps Chaud's dad, forcing Chaud to hand over ProtoMan for deletion. However, before Chaud can do it, Lan throws his PET at Sunayama, distracting him. Sunayama then says something to Lan that compromises his entire career (he said it in front of the cameras, which were set on "Live Broadcast") Lan and Sunayama Netbattle and Sunayama is defeated. He tries to trick Lan into looking the other way to escape (or as Lan put it "Pull a BubbleMan on him"), but was stopped by Chaud. He reappears again at the WWW base and uses Full Synchro with DesertMan.EXE to fight MegaMan but still loses. He is inferred alive and unhurt like Mr. Match, Bass, and Wily were after the Alpha incident, as in the ending, the Officials are having a party, and Nettbattler Q is staring at a poster, saying nothing and unoticed by anyone.
