Trivia[]
- BowlMan was one of two runner up winners in Mega Man Battle Network 3's boss character contest. He was designed by Atsuya Shimizu, and originally called BowlerMan (ボーラーマン Bōrāman).
- Although he's supposed to be MistMan's counterpart, for some reason he does not share the same 10 year history with Serenade like MistMan did.
