Other Recurring Characters

• Ms. Mari, known in the Japanese versions as Mariko Ōzono (大園 まり子, Ōzono Mariko?) - She is the teacher of class 5-A at the ACDC/DenTech school (Densan), of which Lan, Mayl, Dex and Yai are students. She serves as the adult chaperon to many of Lan's activities. She does not have a NetNavi in the anime, and uses a generic one in the games.

• Sal (Saloma (サロマ, Saroma?)) - She is the owner of a boxed lunch stand and an environmentalist; she is also the operator of WoodMan. In the anime, she is a gardener who takes on the identity Black Rose (黒バラ仮面, Kurobara Kamen?) as a Net Agent; unlike Maysa/Commander Beef, Sal uses WoodMan with and without her disguise, leaving little doubt about her secret identity. She also has a crush on Dave in the anime.

• Ribitta (Kero Midorikawa (緑川ケロ, Midorikawa Kero?)) - She is a television personality at DNN, and is often seen as a reporter or a television host. She is the operator of ToadMan. She was a fairly minor character in the games until Battle Network 5, when she joined with Team Colonel while trying to get an interview with the team. In the anime, she along with Higsby, are the commentators for the N1 Grand Prix.

• Raoul (ラウル, Rauru?) - He is the operator of ThunderMan. In the anime, he is the leader of a gang called "Team Thunder" that opposes a corrupt Netopian mayor. In the anime, he and Chaud often dress up in disco outfits while on missions together.

• Tamako Shiraizumi (白泉 たま子, Shiraizumi Tamako?) - She is the owner of a souvenir stall in front of Yoka Hot Springs, and the operator of MetalMan. In the anime, she has a passion for NetBattling, and offers her customers the opportunity to take home her merchandise without paying if they are able to defeat her.

• Chisao Oyama (大山 チサオ, Ōyama Chisao?) - He is Dex's younger brother, and originally lived in Netopia. He is too young to operate his own NetNavi, although he is a NetBattling prodigy (pulling off a Program Advance with GutsMan in the anime when Dex himself could not). He is firm in his belief that his brother is the world's best NetBattler and GutsMan the world's best NetNavi. Renamed Chisao Ogreon in the English anime and manga.

• Shuko Kido (城戸舟子, Kido Shūko?) - She is the operator of AquaMan (SpoutMan in all English media except Battle Network 4) who believes that she is the unluckiest girl in the world because of bad things that always seem to happen coincidentally around her. In Battle Network 4: Blue Moon, she is one of Lan's opponents in the first tournament; later on, AquaMan attempts to help MegaMan fight LaserMan, but is instead possessed by MegaMan's Dark Soul. In Battle Network 6: Cybeast Falzar, Shuko works as both a teacher and an employee of the Seaside Aquarium in order to put her twin brothers Atsu and Ty (Atsuho and Taichi) through college. In the anime, After Higsby installs a sense of confidence in her, she begins to idolize him and work at his chip shop.

• Raika (Laika (ライカ, Raika?) - He is a NetSaver from Sharo, and the operator of SearchMan. He was trained to be an elite soldier, and sees NetBattling as war. In Battle Network 4, he is one of Lan's tournament opponents in the "Red Sun" version. In Battle Network 5, he is a member of Team ProtoMan. In Axess, he often relies on cunning and instinct to solve his battles against Nebula and the Darkloids, and looks down on Cross Fusion. Initially, this puts him at odds with Lan, who he believes is inferior because he has the tendency to do things without thinking, but finds that they are surprisingly effective together. In Stream, he becomes one of the Cross Fusion members marked by Duo.

• Dingo (ディンゴ?) - Dingo is a Netopian who takes a quick liking to Lan, and the operator of TomahawkMan. In the games, he was originally on board the Queen Bohemia luxury liner where a booster system, whose development was responsible for many deaths in his hometown, was being sold. His attempt to hijack the system and steal the booster system was foiled by Colonel, who convinces him to join Team Colonel. In the anime, he works at Maha Ichiban as a delivery boy, and becomes one of the Cross Fusion members marked by Duo.

• Solar Boy Django (太陽少年ジャンゴ, Taiyō Shōnen Jango?) - Django is the protagonist of Konami's Boktai video game series. In the Battle Network universe he is depicted as a fictional vampire hunter, with Dracky's Castle in Castillo being partially based on his adventures. In Battle Network 4, Django appears in Cyberworld and, with help from Lan and MegaMan, uses the PileDriver to destroy ShadeMan. In the Japanese version of Battle Network 6, MegaMan and Django team up to battle The Count of Groundsoaking Blood. Django's signature weapon is the Gun Del Sol, which is available to MegaMan as a series of BattleChips.
