Appearance
He has long wavy black hair and a large black beard. He wears grey and black tribal robes with traditional Ainu symbols and patterns.

Personality
Lycan is Horohoro and Usui Pirica's father, but heavily believes that once they leave their home, he is no longer responsible for their well being, though he still kept a watch over his son when it could affect the entire family.

Like the rest of Ainu Tribe, he disapproved of his son's relationship with Kurobe Tamiko. Despite this, he still allowed his son to have a single leisure day with her, knowing that he would most likely never experience it again.

Past
Lycan originates from Hokkaido, Japan. and was born on September 27, 1956.

Shaman Fights Second Round
At Usui Pirica's request, Lycan accompanies Kalim of the Ten Patch Officiants to the shore where Usui Horokeu is fighting Bill Burton and Brocken Meyer, in order to protect the Icemen. Kalim told him that even though he was the officiant responsible for Horohoro, he could not interfere as it was not an official fight, but Lycan could interfere if he wanted, something Pirica begged him to do, believing that Horohoro would otherwise die. However, Lycan just brushes it off and leaves, saying that since Horohoro has left home, he is on his own. Lycan then breaks of pieces of the boat and crafts a makeshift raft, saying that he wants to leave the island. Bill challenges Lycan, but Lycan only replies that he is an office worker. Bill calls it a great waste and attacks him in order to give Asakura Hao another soul, but is defeated with one blow from Gororo. Lycan declares that "survival of the fittest" does not mean "giving up hope," which inspires Horohoro to keep fighting.

Invading the Plants
Oyamada Mansumi's fleet of ships later found Lycan in the ocean, so Hans Reiheit and Amano Teruko captured Lycan and Gororo and kept them tied up in one of the ships.

He was later seen together with the Asakura Family and Tao Family preparing a barbecue on the beach. When Anahol Pokki says that he does not wish to participate as he has no business with them, Lycan suddenly appears out of the water with a large tuna in his hand, saying that good food is the source of energy, and has Anahol compliment him for a good catch. He is complimented by Pirica whom he tells that, today they will broil it. He was last seen sitting together with Pirica on the beach preparing the fish and hearing Anna reading the Furyoku levels of their kids.

He later appeared on the Soul Train inside the Great Spirit together with Pirica and Apollo.

Trivia

 * His nickname, Oyaji (meaning "old man") is a pun on the Japanese way of addressing old men, or one's father, with disrespect.
