History

Rockman.EXE Phantom of Network

Shuichi is a student that was transferred to the same class as Netto at Akihara Elementary. While his father was doing a magic show in Densan Town, Shuichi tried to sabotage the show to cancel it and have more time with his father, but Netto and Rockman stopped his attempts. After discovering what he was doing, Netto says that he understands him as his father is also always busy, but he works hard for his family, and when Netto can, he always tries to help his father with his NetBattle skills alongside Rockman, not bother him. Shuichi then apologizes to his father, who also apologizes to his son for not paying attention to him, and he suggests Shuichi to join him by making a cyber magic show with HatMan. Shuichi promises that he will do his best and will never do something bad again, and thanks Netto for what he did, and Netto invites him to play with him and his friends whenever he wants.

Later, Shuichi reveals to Netto that he wasn't completely responsible for what happened in the tent, he had the help of an unknown person who gave a mysterious data to him, and wonders if it may be related to the incidents Netto is investigating. Netto thanks Shuichi and takes the data to his father to analyze. Afterwards Netto can return to the tent to challenge Shuichi in a NetBattle.

Anime

Shuichi in the anime.

Shuichi appears in episode 21 of the anime. He feels lonely and frustrated like his game counterpart because his father does not have enough time to watch him preform magic. One day, he finds HatMan, actually a Phantom Navi, in his PET. He and the HatMan duplicate "preform" magic all throughout town, making trees erupt from stores and making cars turn into flowers. He is later hypnotized by HatMan when he gets cold feet. He is returned to normal when the charlatan HatMan is deleted by none other than the real HatMan. He explains to his father and Manabe, Enzan, and Netto why and how things happened. His father promised to watch his magic.
