Matasaburo

"If I defeat Rock, I become a real robot!"

- Matasaburou

Matasaburou (マタサブロー), also known as Fan Fiend, is an enemy in the Mega Man series who is mainly found working for Air Man. These enemies and their master are fairly similar in their design, but both their arms have hands while his left arm has a cannon. On top of their body is a head.

Appearances
Matasaburo is an enemy native to Air Man's stage in both Mega Man 2 and Mega Man II. Similar to Air Man, they have a built in fan and will try to blow Mega Man over the edge of platforms.

In Mega Man: The Wily Wars they appear in Buster Rod G's stage and the second Wily Tower stage.

In Super Adventure Rockman, the player may encounter one Matasaburo before the fight against Air Man depending on the path chosen. Matasaburo can talk in this game, and all he does is push a rock in Mega Man's direction, which is harmless.

Trivia

 * Due to its placement, when the second Matasaburo appears on screen in Air Man's stage, Mega Man is immediately pushed backwards, so it essentially offscreens itself very often.


 * In Super Adventure Rockman, Matasaburo's Information Card states that he is a prototype of Air Man, and when first encountered he says he will become a real robot if he defeats Mega Man. This likely implies he would be converted into a Robot Master.


 * The name "Matasaburo" probably comes from Japanese novel "Kaze no Matasaburo (Matasaburo of the Wind)" by Kenji Miyazawa. It could also include the word "blow" since the robot blows air.
