If you were looking for the character of the day in SS036, see Jan (SS036).
Jan

Jan (Japanese: ジャン Jan) is a character of the day who appeared in The Pi-Kahuna.

Jan was a surfer active 40 years before the events of the episode, and was highly revered as a great surfer. He was the first person to have ever ridden a gigantic wave, called Humungadunga (Japanese: ビッグ・チューズデー Big Tuesday), to the top of a rock in the ocean and plant his flag there. He had given his old surfboard to Victor—who idolized him—before heading off to surf around the world.

Trivia

  • Jan's name, along with Puka and Victor's Japanese names (Michael and Vincent respectively), are a reference to Hollywood actor Jan-Michael Vincent, the lead actor of the movie Big Wednesday, from which their episode takes inspiration from.
