JapanMan.EXE, known as YamatoMan (ヤマトマン.ＥＸＥ Yamatoman Eguze) in Japan, is a solo NetNavi from the Mega Man Battle Network series. He is a former captain of the SciLab Elite Corps who challenged Serenade and lost. He left the Elite Corps and now follows Serenade as their right-hand man, defending the Secret Area.[2]
Concept and Creation[]
According to the Early Draft section in the Mega Man Battle Network Official Complete Works book, there are couple of early designs for JapanMan, including two fully colored ones on the bottom-left corner of the section. There is one fully-colored design of JapanMan with his entire armor being mainly orange and his body being light purple, and another fully-colored design of JapanMan with his armor being mainly red and his body being light grayish green.
Appearance[]
While JapanMan is based on a samurai like his Robot Master counterpart, his design is visually different from his said counterpart. He has a blue helmet with a yellow decorative on the top front, a blue cuirass with a yellow line and collar, blue shoulder armor with yellow linings on each of the spherical parts, blue faulds, light blue legs and footwear consist of blue and yellow.

JapanMan's Navi mark shows a black linear circle with three lines connected each others and a black solid circle surrounded by three linear curves.
Personality[]
YamatoMan boasts himself to be the cyberworld's greatest spear fighter, modeled after warlords in Japan's Sengoku period[3]. He seems to value strength as he pledges allegiance to Serenade after being defeated by them.

JapanMan's Navi mark
JapanMan is a careful battler. He primarily attacks with his spear, which he can either thrust straight forward or repeatedly jab with it. He also summons innumerable foot soldiers can attack and steal area. Finally he is able to spin his spear and defect any attacks back.
- Spinning Reflect (スピニングリフレクト[4][5] Supiningu Rifurekuto):
Damage:
150 / 200 / 250 / 300
JapanMan spins his spear, reflecting Shot-type attacks. He often uses this while he is not attacking.
- Straight Spear (ストレートスピア[4][5] Sutorēto Supia):
Damage: 150 / 200 / 250 / 300
JapanMan thrusts his spear down the row, extending three panels.
- Thousand Spear (サウザンドスピア[4][5] Sauzando Supia):
Damage: 100 / 150 / 200 / 200
JapanMan strikes the column two spaces ahead of him several times.
- Backup, known in Japan as

Damage: 100 / 150 / 200 / 200
JapanMan calls in several Ashigaru foot soldiers who will rush down different rows. If they reach the front panel of MegaMan's area, they will stab at it, stealing the panel if there is nothing there. This attack cannot area-lock MegaMan, but will leave him row-locked if left unchecked.

Trivia[]
- As Yamato is an ancient name for Japan, the English localization simplified Yamato Man into JapanMan. Ironically, the in-universe equivalent for Japan (Nihon) had its name changed to Electopia, creating more in-universe confusion.
