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. His claim to fame was after he became 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.
