Well that would depend on where you draw the line between main and supporting cast, but I'm gonna say "no."

Misc:

Do you have to beat the man, so you can be the man?
No.
Does this hint have to do with some kind of hero whose name ends in man (Megaman, Brickman, Stickman, etc.)?
No.
Does this hint have to do with some sort of authority that could be called "the man?"
Yes.
Does the hint refer to the main character?
The main character is not the Man, but the main character is rebelling against the Man. So that's how it refers to the main character.
Does "The man" wear sunglasses?
The anime doesn't answer that.

Since I don't know what this is, I'm putting it here temporarily.

Shot in the Dark?
No.\\

Is it My Soul, Your Beats?

You win!

Apparently, episode 4 has a remix of this song as an opening. I didn't remember that... Well, it's technically still the same song, so I didn't give a wrong answer, right?

that is not adaptation....

there is light novel but it more like sidestory

It's just a remix, so I'd say it's still counts as the same song.
