For his appearance in the anime, see Yahoot (anime).

Yahoot, known as Maha Jarama (マハ・ジャラマ) in Japan, is the operator of MagicMan.EXE and a former WWW member. Although it is unknown why he joined, he was made Wily's right hand man. Yahoot is also a master of yoga and programming[1].

Appearance[]

Yahoot has brown hair, a small ponytail, light pink lips, blue triangular markings closer to his eyes on each side of his face, and a tiny red gem (i.e. apparently a bindi) on his forehead. Yahoot wears an amber robe with green trims on the bottom and also MagicMan's Navi mark on the upper front, seemingly a brown belt, white wrapping on each of his lower arms and lower legs, and brown sandals.

Game History[]

Mega Man Battle Network[]

In the game, Yahoot spends most of the time by Wily's side, assisting him with his plans and relaying orders to the other WWW members. When Lan entered WWW's base, he and MagicMan guarded the door leading to the Life Virus. They were initially defeated by MegaMan, but Wily gives Yahoot a piece of the Life Virus's code, which he uses to upgrade MagicMan. MegaMan is no match for MagicMan's newly acquired strength, and is almost deleted in a single attack. Chaud and ProtoMan intervene, deleting MagicMan as he's charging another attack to finish off MegaMan. Yahoot is not seen again after this point, and presumably fled.

Mega Man Battle Chip Challenge[]

Yahoot is one of the participants from the Battle Chip GP. He appears in multiple character's stories with a great fondness for spicy curry.

Anime[]

Yahoot in the anime.

In the anime, Yahoot is a famous yoga teacher and world renowned curry chef, and is still Wily’s right hand man. Later on in the series, he begins to care less and less about the revival of WWW and more about his curry business, and becomes an ally and friend to Lan and MegaMan.

Trivia[]

  • Yahoot's design bears a resemblance to Dhalsim from Street Fighter franchise. In Mega Man Battle Network Official Complete Works, designer Hayato Kaji stated this wasn’t intentional. [2]
  • A robot and animal version of Yahoot were also presented during the design process of the character.
  • It is revealed in a dev Q&A that Yahoot was recruited for WWW by Wily while he was traveling the world looking for talent. [3]
  • Yahoot's name is likely derived from the search engine Yahoo.
