Lan Hikari

Lan Hikari, known as Netto Hikari (光ひかり 熱斗ねっと Hikari Netto) in Japan, is the human protagonist of the Mega Man Battle Network series. His NetNavi is MegaMan.EXE. During the first half of the series, he is 11 years old and a 5th grader at ACDC Elementary School, but enters the 6th grade during the epilogue of Mega Man Battle Network 3 and has his 12th birthday around that time. His birthday is June 10th. [7] Lan is the son of the world-renowned scientist Dr. Yuichiro Hikari and his wife Haruka Hikari, as well as the grandson of Tadashi Hikari. For most of the series, Lan's greatest wish is to become a famous NetBattler, though at the end of the series he decides instead to become a Net Researcher like his father before him. Despite his connections to the Electopian government and SciLab (through his father), Lan still counts as a civilian, and his activities in the series cause him to clash with Net Battler Eugene Chaud, who initially treats him as an interference in Official NetBattler affairs. Together, Lan and MegaMan are a powerful operator and Navi Virus Busting duo. They battle against various global criminal organizations, including the net-mafia Gospel, the Dark Chip syndicate Nebula, and the various incarnations of the terrorist organization World Three.
