Khan (カーン, Kān) is a tertiary antagonist featured in the third part of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, Stardust Crusaders.
He is a barber from Edfu[2] who gives Jean Pierre Polnareff a shave but is possessed by Anubis, beginning a battle with Polnareff and Jotaro.
Appearance
Khan is a large, muscular man. His head is tall with sharp cheekbones and an angular jawline. He lacks eyebrows. His hair is dark and short and topped with a small, cylindrical cap. He wears a tunic with dark, short sleeves, small wristbands, pants, and sandals.
Color Schemes
Personality
Khan is an affable barber, often seen with a smile. He gladly listens to his customer's requests and apologizes for any mistakes.[2] Not much else is known about him since he unsheathes Anubis for an unknown reason not long into Polnareff's shave.
Abilities
Stand
Khan temporarily wields the Stand Anubis when he picks up the sword. It is a Sentient Stand that possesses Khan's mind and makes him a deadly fighter. It is unknown whether he has previous fighting experience since he is a barber, but as Anubis grows stronger with each battle, Khan is stronger than the Stand's previous wielder, Chaka.
History
Stardust Crusaders (1989)
Khan is a barber who receives a visit from Jean Pierre Polnareff to shave but is asked to put Anubis nearby before starting his work. Thinking it to be a normal sword, Khan draws it and is possessed by the stand, attacking Polnareff soon after. Because Anubis already had experience fighting Polnareff (in the earlier battle with Chaka), he was able to counter almost all of his attacks. Polnareff was saved by Jotaro Kujo, who easily overcame the possessed barber and broke the Anubis Sword in half. Khan himself was rendered unconscious.
