**Pharaoh Man** (ファラオマン Faraoman) is a Robot Master designed as an ancient Egyptian pharaoh that resembles Tutankhamun who appeared first in **Mega Man 4**. He is the main protagonist of *The Gear Heroes: Friendship is Powerful* and the unofficial leader of The Gear Heroes, created by Dr. Cossack with high resistance, agility, and adaptability to the dark to explore pyramids and ancient ruins. His Special Weapons are **Pharaoh Shot** and **Pharaoh Wave**, but also has a lot of fire powers and abilities.

Whenever the Gear Heroes are in trouble, Pharaoh Man first hides his true identity by disguising himself as a masked superhero robot and supports them during some of their missions and adventures. Tundra Man and Torch Man are the only ones who know his secret, but they never tells that to their friends so they won't ruin it until the Egyptian robot has the courage to reveal it, sooner or later. The reason Pharaoh does that is because, according to the episode A Gearsome Beginning, Part 1, the Gear Heroes hate the Cossack family believing that the latter ignored the situation caused by the Mavericks Wars of the last century when they tried to ask them for help to save their creators from a fire at the Institute of Sciences until it was too late to do so and they all sadly died.

Pharaoh Man represents the **Element of the Power of Friendship**.
