This article is about the enemy. For other uses, see Cannon (disambiguation).

Cannon, known as Houdai (ホウダイ lit. "Cannon") in Japan, is an enemy from the original Mega Man series. When a Cannon is inert, a metallic hatch covers its barrel. If a Cannon senses an enemy, its hatch will raise and extend a barrel that launches a large cannonball. They are only vulnerable to attacks while the barrel is exposed, being its weak spot.
