Yamato Man

Yamato Man (ヤマトマン) is a combat Robot Master modelled upon a samurai. Although his armor appears to be heavy, it was made thin and as light as possible to improve his mobility, but reducing his defense. He has the Japanese spirit, and has great respect to Knight Man due to his valor and honor. Yamato Man's weapon is the Yamato Spear, which he use to throw spear tips at enemies. However, he has a short stock of spear tips, and has to pick them up after usage. In the First Annual Robot Tournament, he was stolen and reprogrammed by Mr. X to help him conquer the world. His weakness is the Silver Tomahawk.

Trivia

 * The word Yamato (大和) means "ancient Japan".
 * Yamato was also one of the earliest Japanese ruling groups
 * Yamato Man's quote from his CD data, "Nippon Banzai!", means "Long live to Japan!". Nippon (日本) means Japan and banzai (ばんざい) is an exclamation that literally means "ten thousand years" and is typically translated as "long live" in English.
 * Yamato Man's head model is based off the kabuto-style samurai helmets that often sport ornate crests (that were often unique signatures to distinguish certain individuals from eachother). Another reference to these crests can be seen in the Mobile Suit Gundam anime franchise.
