Yamato Man

Yamato Man debuted as an enemy in Megaman Sprite Game, where he is called 'yamato man', but is currently friends with Megaman, sharing his ship with him in the later comic issues. He is always seen boarding his ship.

Appearance
Yamato Man's appearance in this series is only loosely based on the official Capcom artwork. He normally wears a full Samurai armor, while he appears to be wearing only a helmet along with a long-sleeved T-shirt. While this may seem odd, it turns out both this outfit and boat are referencing Space Battleship Yamato, a Japanese sci-fi anime. Another oddity is the stray pixel found on the top left of his helmet. It does not appear in the game, only in the sprite comic. Apart from this, there are a few more obvious changes to his design in the comic.

In the Game
In the game, Yamato Man is a late-game enemy that appears alongside with either Turbo Man or two Mr.Dynamite in the Wacky play area. He attacks by firing torpedos (that have KEBAB written on them) or by shooting a laser, a move called 'wave motion' in the game files. This, too, is a reference to Space Battleship Yamato, where the protagonists' ship is equipped with a 'wave motion gun'. Also, due to the way the OHRRPGCE Engine used for Megaman Sprite Game works, Yamato Man is actually three different enemies, assembled together in battle. This means we can actually take a look at Yamato Man's full body by extracting the sprites.

In the Comics
Yamato Man only appeared very late into the comic, debuting in the 112th issue, where he invites Mega Man onto his boat. 2 issues later, they appear in the boat together.
