JapanMan.EXE

JapanMan.EXE, known as Yamatoman.EXE in Japan, is a NetNavi from MegaMan Battle Network 3. JapanMan is a skilled spear-fighter that was a member of the SciLab Elite Corps, but left to follow Serenade and became his right-hand man.

Personality
Although his motif is a little dated, he is very courageous and overflows with the ways of the samurai. He boasts himself to be the cyberworld's greatest spear fighter. Though he faithfully protects Serenade, he does not at all get along with Serenade's other subordinate, DarkMan.

MegaMan Battle Network 3
In MegaMan Battle Network 3, MegaMan encounters JapanMan in the second section of the Secret Area. JapanMan battles MegaMan, underestimating him based on his appearance, and loses. He pleads for forgiveness from Serenade upon defeat.

Power and Abilities
JapanMan is a careful battler. He primarily attacks with his spear, which he can either thrust straight forward or repeatedly jab with it. He also summons innumerable foot soldiers can attack and steal area. Finally he is able to spin his spear and defect any attacks back.
 * Straight Spear: JapanMan thrusts his spear down the row, extending three panels.
 * Thousand Spear: JapanMan strikes the column two spaces ahead of him several times.
 * Spinning Reflect: JapanMan spins his spear, reflecting Shot-type attacks. He often uses this while he is not attacking.
 * Backup: JapanMan calls in several foot soldiers who will rush down different rows. If they reach the front panel of MegaMan's area, they will stab at it, stealing the panel if there is nothing there. This attack cannot area-lock MegaMan, but will leave him row-locked if left unchecked.
