Patch Hikari

Patch Hikari is the co-protagonist of the Mega Man Battle Network Legacy universe. He is the son of Lan and Mayl Hikari, the grandson of Yuichiro and Haruka Hikari, a student at DenCity High School, and the operator of MegaMan.WEXE. His growth alongside his NetNavi and the continual discovery of his new powers granted by the 'W' Batch, their joining of the war against the Sigma Neos, and Patch and MegaMan's journey to write their own story and separate themselves from their fathers are all central parts of Legacy 's story.

Patch is known for his love of playing the drums, skateboarding, miso ramen, and NetBattling. He is best friends with Claire Mikera and her twin brother Vane as well as their surrogate older brother Daemon Chaud. He harbors romantic feelings for the former, which is a well-documented subject of teasing among the group, but Claire doesn't return those feelings until they grow even closer to one another during the Sigma Neo crisis.

Prior to the events of the Sigma Neo conflict, he has a few insecurities to outgrow surrounding living in the shadow of his father's illustrious life of achievement. Eagerly wanting to grow into his own, he dives into the Sigma Neo conflict headfirst. Because of this, he is often overeager to dive into a conflict headfirst and early on gets knocked back as a result. Eventually, he matures and carves his own path to being a hero, becoming a de facto leader of the SciLab faction and, alongside MegaMan, reaching levels of power that his father did not.
