Yashichi

The Yashichi is an symbol found in many Capcom video games. It often restores the player's health or acts as a bonus point item. The symbol is a red circle decorated with a stylised white cross that resembles a pinwheel or shuriken.

The item appeared first in 1985, in Capcom's first title, Vulgus, as an enemy (it was also featured in Capcom's fifth title, Exed Exes, in a similar role.) Since then, it has been featured in many other games in a far more benign role.

Mega Man appearances

 * It is found only in the fourth (and final) Wily Stage in Mega Man, just before the teleporter. The Magnet Beam may be needed to reach it safely, but it refills Mega Man's health and his weapons, plus it is worth a 1,000,000 point bonus.
 * It's also given randomly by the Rush Charger in Mega Man 8.
 * One of Cut Man's attacks in Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters has the shape of the Yashichi.
 * It's the icon of a item from Mega Man: Battle and Chase
 * In MegaMan Battle Chip Challenge, it appears as a icon from a menu.
