Rock "Mega Man", known as Rockman  (Japanese: ロックマン Hepburn:  Rokkuman?)  in Japan, is the title character and the  protagonist of the Mega Man series by Capcom.     The character was created by Akira Kitamura for the first Mega Man game released in 1987, with artist Keiji Inafune providing detailed character artwork based on Kitamura's pixel art design.

    According to the game's franchise, in the year 20XX, robotics genius Dr. Thomas Light worked to create a humanoid robot (though in some direct translations he is referred to as a cyborg).

    This robot would demonstrate an advanced  artificial intelligence program that would allow it to make decisions for itself based on stimulus and basic directions.

    He called the robot project "Robot Master", because the resulting robot would be able to supervise the work of other, less intelligent machines.
