Telehoman
Telehoman (テレホマン) is an old AA character from the dial-up era who showed up between 11pm to 8am. He was a mysterious hero with several attacks related to everyday dial-up issues. Naturally, after dial-up was replaced with broadband, he stopped showing up.

Special attacks
- Telehoman Flying Attack (テレホマンフライングアタック) - An attack that occurs at 10:58:01pm, exactly 2 minutes and 59 seconds before 11:00pm when all the lines start to get clogged up.
- Telehoman Doubling Attack (トラフィック倍増攻撃) - An attack that occurs at 11:00pm, when all of the Telehomans would show up and clog all the access points.
- Telehoman Last Attack (テレホマンラストアタック) - A last attack that occurs past 8:00am, mainly to show off to people who leave at 7:58am, but never past 8:15am because of the phone bill.
- Telehoman Overtime Attack (テレホマン時間外アタック) - A special last attack if he's outside of his usual hours. Similar to a vampire in daylight, he can die if left unattended.
- Teleho Sleeping Fist (テレホ暴睡拳) - A last attack for the Telehoman that wakes up early avoiding the 11:00pm traffic, collects erotic images, masturbates, passes out, and suddenly it's past 8am.
What is Tele-Hodai?
On August 22, 1995, NTT introduced “Tele-Hodai” (テレホーダイ), shortened to “Teleho” (テレホ), which was a telephone service that charged a flat-rate monthly fee for unlimited calls to select numbers between 11pm to 8am. The service was mostly iconic for providing late-night internet access during the late 1990s and early 2000s, but people started using it less and less after the advent of broadband internet.
