Trivia

 * It is implied that “Famous” is not actually his name.
 * In the English version of the anime, he speaks with a British accent.
 * Famous prefers not to be addressed formally. In the Japanese version of the show, he tells people “not to be so formal”. In the English dub, he says “Just Famous, thanks.”.
 * In each season of the anime, the number on Famous's shirt increases by one, starting at 15 and ending at 19, representing the age of the Mega Man franchise at the time.
 * In the video game series, Mr. Famous has a passive role as an optional boss in many of the games (though he is a mandatory boss in Mega Man Battle Network 4). In the anime, Famous has a much larger role where he works with Dr. Hikari to supply Lan and his friends with the equipment and support they need to fight evil.
 * Though all of the NetNavis Mr. Famous has used in the video game series appear in the anime, none of them are owned by him. They instead appear as Zoanoroids in Beast, and another FootMan has a minor role at the beginning of Rockman.EXE: Hikari to Yami no Program as an opponent of MegaMan.
