Higsby

Higsby, known as Yamitaro Higure (日暮闇太郎) in Japan, is a recurring character from the MegaMan Battle Network series. He is found in every Battle Network game except for 6, although for the most part of the story his role is selling Battle Chips in his chip shop. His NetNavi is NumberMan.EXE. He first appears in the first game as a professor working for World Three to brainwash kids and take their rare Battle Chips. After being defeated by Lan, he opens a shop and promises to be good for now on. In MegaMan Battle Network 5, he joins Team Colonel and alows the to use the back of his shop as a base. He will also do so in Team ProtoMan, although with a bit more reluctance.

MegaMan NT Warrior
He shows up to teach the students of Lan's school about Virus busting but is mostly concerned about rare chips. He attempts to steal Yai's but Ms. Mari convinces him not to. After that he opens up a chip shop like in the games. In the anime, he is Maysa's rival for Ms. Mari's affections, and the two are seen fighting on many occasions.

Trivia

 * Although Higsby knows how dangerous Dark Chips are and even freaks out at seeing one, in BN5 the player can obtain a Dark Chip from the Number Lotto.
 * Higsby, unlike his Battle Network and Star Force successors, has more than two ways (normal vendor and order list) of selling Battle Chips. You might be able to buy some rare chips you can't ordinrilly get from his shop or other places if you look through Higsby's display shelves.  Additionally, his "bargain bin" may also contain some chips you can buy.
