Mr. Match

Mr. Match, known in Japan as Ken'ichi Hino, or Hinoken for short, is a recurring character in the MegaMan Battle Network series. He uses three NetNavis in the games: FireMan.EXE, HeatMan.EXE, and FlameMan.EXE. He was part of criminal organization WWW until MegaMan Battle Network 3.

In MegaMan Battle Network, he is a member of the WWW that uses his NetNavi FireMan to cause criminal fires to search a superprogram for Wily. He disguises himself as a NetSafety repair man and hacks into the control panel of houses to spread viruses in the oven, making them explode, but FireMan is stopped by Lan and MegaMan when he took control of the oven in his house. He is later seen with other WWW members.

In MegaMan Battle Network 2, he appears in the airport with HeatMan as his Navi, and challenges the player to a NetBattle.

In MegaMan Battle Network 3, he pretends that he quit the WWW and is now a good person, starting to work in SciLab and using his Navi FlameMan to help Lan against weak WWW Navis sent by him. He lures Lan into installing three malicious programs in the SciLab computers that caused the place to reach high temperatures. Match reveals himself to Lan as a WWW member and challenge him to extinguish the flame he spreaded through the web. After extinguishing all flames, Mr. Match calls him to Undernet 3 and fights against him with FlameMan. He had advantage, but Bass appears and deletes FlameMan, forcing Mr. Match to retreat. The security of SciLab weakened after this, and several scientists, including Lan's father, where sent to the hospital. He appears again with Anetta and PlantMan in Castle Wily, where they use Full Synchro and fights MegaMan at the same time. After Wily's defeat, he and the other WWW members where taken in custody and sent to a hospital.

In MegaMan Battle Network 4 Red Sun, he appears randomly with FireMan in the Den Battle Tournament, and again if the player fights BurnerMan in the Eagle Tournament.

In MegaMan Battle Network 6 Cybeast Gregar, he became a teacher at Cyber Elementary School and gives Lan his first Link Navi and Cross after the defeat of DiveMan.
