Subaru Hoshikawa (星河スバル Hoshikawa Subaru?) is a fictional character and the human protagonist of the seventh incarnation of the Mega Man franchise, Mega Man Star Force (Ryusei no Rockman). The Visualizer glasses that he wears on his head allow him to view the Radio Wave World, and result in him making contact with an FM (a type of extraterrestrial) known as Warlock (War-Rock; ウオーロック Wōrokku). Subaru and Warlock are able to merge together through "Radio Wave Conversion" to become Mega Man. While in this form, Subaru's body is covered in a unique armor, and Warlock acts as his Mega Buster (Rock Buster). By feeding Battle Cards to Warlock (referred to as "Predation"), Subaru gains an additional weapons base. He is voiced by Fuyuka Oura in the original version of the series.
[edit] History
Subaru is the son of Daigo Hoshikawa and Akane Hoshikawa. Due to the disappearance of his father that occured three years prior, he has neglected school. After being confronted by his classmates Luna Shirogane, Gonta Ushijima, and Kizamaro Saishouin who beg him to return to school, he heads to an observing platform where he discovers Warlock after putting on his Visualizer. Warlock tells him that he knows his father.
Although it remains to be seen whether or not the plots of the anime and game are closely related, in the former, the Visualizer that Subaru possesses previously belonged to his father, and was given to him following his disappearance.
