Lan Hikari

Lan Hikari, also known as Netto Hikari, is the main protagonist from the Mega Man Battle Network series.
==Charactah Account==
Lan is a fifth-grade student with a strong bond with his NetNavi, MegaMan. He is the son of Yuichiro Hikari and Haruka Hikari, and the grandson of Tadashi Hikari. He had a twin brother, Hub Hikari, who died when they were young, and it is later revealed that MegaMan.EXE is actually Hub reincarnated as data. MegaMan.EXE has a .1% modified difference in his DNA to avoid a connection between the two, but it is eventually erased, which causes them to become synchronized.
Lan is one of the Mega Man franchise's youngest protagonists, and still attends school, where he has a reputation for being outgoing, friendly, and a poor student who would much rather prefer to spend his time doing anything but studying. The games imply that Lan is actually quite intelligent and that his academic failures occur due to a lack of motivation; for example, a class assignment featured in the third game indicates that he actually achieved a higher score than his best friend Mayl Sakurai, who is much more studious than him. A running gag of the series is MegaMan dutifully nagging Lan to stop neglecting his homework.
Lan's interests lie in other areas, sports like soccer and inline skating; his absolute favorite pastime, however, is Net Battling. This is reflected in school, where he leads the class in Virus Busting, and his high grades here balance his other generally mediocre scores. It's here that Lan's natural enthusiasm and skill shine through, directing MegaMan in combat with great skill despite his lack of resources (he begins every game with a basic Chip Folder). As an operator, Lan is able to concentrate in a way he cannot bring himself to do in other situations.

==Trivia==
*Lan's blood type is B, and his favorite food is Chinese-style fried rice (Choina-style) and seasoned nori (dried seaweed). He hates white spring onions and the mysterious sweets his mom sometimes makes .
**In the Japanese version of Mega Man Battle Network 4, Lan proclaims himself as a curry enthusiast . He samples Flave's five-star curry and manages to insult the chef by declaring he prefers his mother's. When interrogating JunkMan while he's impersonating MegaMan, he asks "what is his favorite food", where he reveals it's Katsu Curry (Curry with chicken cutlets) . The English version mistranslates the former with him not liking curry and replaces the latter with hamburgers .
**In the MegaMan NT Warrior manga (Ryo Takamisaki), Lan's favorite food is his mom's Curry Rice.
