Akan is an armadillo-like Youma created by Zoisite.

Nomenclature and Etymology[]

Akan's name appears to be a double entendre of the words "aka" (あか; red) and/or the Kansai-ben word "Akan" (明かん; wrong/no good).

His attack was likely a reference to Lake Akan in Hokkaido; famous for its algae that grows into fuzzy balls called "Marimo" (毬藻).

Appearance[]

Powers[]

Akan was able to generate projectile algae balls which would grow in size and attach to their victim. When attached, they would continue to grow until the person was fully absorbed inside the algae, slowly suffocating them.

Information[]

Zoisite attempted to turn Naru into a monster, but turned an actor who was playing the sentai Redman into a monster instead, transforming him into Akan. Akan shot seaweed balls at people, which expanded and prevented them from breathing. In the end, he was healed by Sailor Moon using her Moon Healing Escalation.

Trivia[]

  • This is the only time Zoisite changes anyone into a monster that is not one of the Seven Great Youma. The other victims were transformed by Kunzite.
    • He's the first monster created from a civilian that was not a monster in a past life.
    • He was also the first Youma to be healed outside of the Seven Great Youma.
  • Enemies that resemble Akan appear in the video game Sailor Moon.
