Trivia

 * Keisuke Mizuno created a backstory for the X-Kai figure which states that he was originally a prototype developed by Dr. Wily using the stolen blueprints for the Mega Man that was later discarded in favor of the Zero. During the formation of the X-Hunters, this lost prototype would be discovered by an unknown man. The unit was named "X-Kai" after the Maverick Hunter X, owing mostly to his superior specs and nearly-identical design (though this is not explicitly stated). X-Kai would then become the designated leader of the X-Hunters.
 * It is worth noting that the concept behind X-Kai was that in the Mega Man X Official Complete Works, the X-Hunters were originally four members, but the fourth character was cut from the game due to ROM capacity. Keisuke Mizumo stated that X-Kai was created because he was "amazed that Capcom didn't make a villain that looked exactly like Mega Man X." It could be argued that he ignored the existence of iX, due to its character obscurity.
 * IX is a character introduced in Rockman X Mega Mission as an evil copy of Megaman X.
