Rockman wo Tsukutta Otokotachi - Rockman Tanjou Densetsu (ロックマンを作った男たち ロックマン誕生伝説 roughly "The Men Who Created Rockman: The Rockman Creation Legend") is a manga story by Hitoshi Ariga published in Comic BomBom in two parts in January and February 1995, and later added as part of the 2009 version from Rockman Megamix. The story is a slightly fictionalized telling of the hardships the staff had over the development of the video games Rockman and Rockman 2, which led to the creation of several games for different consoles.

Trivia[]
- In Rockman Megamix Vol. 2 (2009), Hitoshi Ariga noted that his superior needed to keep reminding him that this was a fictional story based on facts instead of a documentary, requesting him to exaggerate the story to get the point across and interesting for kids. After finishing the storyboard, his superior found the ending diluted and asked to add that the final boss had a bug that was difficult to solve, with Ariga noting that this part about the development is completely fictional. Many of Ariga's notes about the development from the games that he could not adapt to the story were later added on R20 Rockman & Rockman X Official Complete Works.
