Kalinka Cossack (カリンカ・コサック) is a minor supporting character in the Classic era. She is the young daughter of Dr. Cossack, first appearing alongside her father in Mega Man 4.

In the Games

Mega Man 4

Sprite from Mega Man 4.

Kalinka debuts in Mega Man 4, where she is kidnapped by Dr. Wily in the game's backstory and used to blackmail her father, Dr. Cossack, into working for him. At some point during the events of the game, she is rescued by Proto Man, and is brought to Dr. Cossack's citadel when Mega Man is about to destroy the Cossack Catcher machine. She explains that her father is not really evil and begs Mega Man not to hurt him, upon which Dr. Cossack exits the machine, overjoyed to be reunited with his daughter.

According to the Mega Man Legacy Collection, Kalinka further assists Mega Man by "investigating Dr. Wily's castle", likely giving its location to Mega Man so that he can go after Wily. However, this is never shown in-game, where Mega Man simply appears at the fortress after the cutscene plays.

Wily & Right no RockBoard: That's Paradise

In the Japan-only digital board game Wily & Right no RockBoard: That's Paradise, Kalinka is one of the characters the player can choose to play as. The playable characters play largely the same, though they have different story goals and endings, with Kalinka's goal being to own a castle to live in as a princess.

Rockman ✕over

In the defunct mobile game Rockman ✕over, an older version of Kalinka appeared, with a slight redesign. Here, she acted as Navigator for the main character, OVER-1, explaining the game's systems to the player.
