Think of 'man' as in 'man-y' — ten thousand is a big number, like a crowd of many people. 'Man' → 万 (man, 'ten thousand').
Cultural Note
In Japanese, large numbers are grouped by four digits (e.g., 10,000 as 万), unlike English which groups by three digits (e.g., 1,000). This system is used in everyday contexts like money (e.g., 『一万円』 ichiman-en, '10,000 yen') and population counts.
