This article is about the NetNavi BowlMan.EXE. For his Darkloid counterpart, see BowlMan.EXE (anime). For his Asteroid counterpart, see Asteroid BowlMan.EXE.

BowlMan (ボウルマン, Bouruman) is a Solo NetNavi from the Mega Man Battle Network series of unknown origin. In Blue Version, he possesses the #2 Undernet ranking, and one of the few Navis who knows of Serenade's true identity. He was created from a boss character contest.

Appearance

BowlMan is a humanoid NetNavi who has a white face, red nose and yellow eyes. He has a green bowling ball on top of his head with a golden lining on the bottom of it, a white torso, each of his arms consist of three green bowling balls, black hands, red legs and white feet.

Characteristics

While he has a very harsh and tough manner of talking, he's actually good natured and easy going. As his name suggests, he's a bowling themed Navi, who even has a large pin-shaped cannon on his back, which he can latch over his arm.

History

Mega Man Battle Network 3

BowlMan possesses Rank 2 in the Undernet and appears in the NetBattle Computer from the TV Studio in Beach Street. After being defeated, he'll give up his rank to MegaMan and tell him where to find "S". BowlMan can be battled again in that exact location.

BowlMan only appears in the Blue version of the game, while MistMan appears in his place in the White version. However, it is possible to fight BowlMan in the White version, but only his Omega version.

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.
