Alien Cannan appeared in 1968 TV series called Ultraseven. Alien Cannan (カナン星人, Kanan Seijin) was an alien that appeared in Ultraseven episode 24.
After a bizarre plane crash in the arctic the UG went to investigate the matter. As they sent one of their fighters to investigate Alien Cannan used their lighthouse-like base to create an aurora and took control of an airliner. Shigeru Furuhashi who rode the UG plane was also stuck flying to a airline plane, but Dan was sent to help the situation. Alien Cannan used lasers to scare Dan off, but it did not work and the hero continued moving towards them. From that point Dan went on foot and used Windom against the Alien Cannan's base, but before any damage could be done the capsule monster was hit with the hypnosis beam and was sent against Dan, who then turned into Ultraseven. After tiring out Windom, Ultraseven used the Emerium Beam to break the hypnosis and sent him against Alien Cannan once more. Windom was forced back into his capsule after being hit with Alien Cannan's stun ray. Just then, the Alien Cannan launched their base like a rocket trying to escape to outer space, but Ultraseven followed them and destroyed the base with a single blast of the Wide Shot. Furuhashi luckily dodged the crash as Cannan's powers where gone.
An Alien Cannan named Herbie (ハービー, Hābī) had come to Earth in search of a new home after countless wars made Planet Cannan uninhabitable. Joined by their partner Robbie (ロビー, Robī), they planned to take over the planet by turning all of Earth's machinery against humanity using their Aurora Beam technology, which would allow them to awaken and manipulate the strong negative emotions that dwell in all machines.
The Alien Cannan headquartered themselves in a spaceship disguised as a wind turbine overlooking Sodegazaki Beach, and were responsible for the recent occurrences of airplanes and vehicles going haywire as a test for the upcoming invasion. Viewing the SKaRD as a threat, Herbie investigated and chanced upon Earth Garon, seizing the opportunity to use the Aurora Beam on the mecha during its fight against Dorgo.
Herbie then set their eyes on Yasunobu, Earth Garon's head mechanic, and extended him an invitation to join the Alien Cannan, going so far as to demonstrate the powers of the Aurora Beam on Cururu (くるる, Kururu), a dryer in the laundromat. Yasunobu rejected the offer and attempted to shoot the invader down, but this was to no effect due to the Aurora Beam's powers, and Herbie left through a portal, disappointed.
After Herbie returned to base, the Alien Cannan proceeded with their invasion plan and remotely activated the Earth Garon to defend their ship, but to their surprise Yasunobu had tracked them down. Robbie was swiftly taken out after a brief distraction, but Yasunobu was caught off-guard by Herbie, who held him at gunpoint and brought up a display showing an berserk Earth Garon, who pursued the SKaRD before Ultraman Blazar intercepted the mecha. As Herbie watched on in delight, she failed to notice that Yasunobu had escaped, and shortly after, he managed to regain control of the mecha. With the tables turned, Herbie attempted to escape in their ship, but they and the spacecraft were quickly disposed of by the Spiral Burrade.
Powers and Abilities[]
- Cold Adaptation: As their home world was a low temperature environment, they have an adaptive resistance to colder temperatures.
- Aurora Beam (オーロラ光線, Ōrora Kōsen): A small handgun that shoots a rainbow-colored beam which awakens the negative emotions in machines and allows the Alien Cannan to control machinery. While it has no effect on organic beings, the aurora beam can be switched out for a neutralizing laser.
- Wormhole: A wormhole that connects to the Alien Cannan's spaceship was created by the laundromat dryer Cururu under the Aurora Beam's effects.
- Rocket: Alien Cannan possessed a rocket that they disguised it as a lighthouse. In Ultraman Blazar, this took the form of a wind turbine. The rocket base had several functions:
- Technology Control: Alien Cannan's rocket can control vehicles or robots like Windom. It can be unleashed either in a form of aurora or laser blasts.
- Lasers: Alien Cannan's rocket can launch lasers that come in different colors.
- Stun Ray: Alien Cannan's rocket can use a blue ray that can stun monsters, although it has very little, if any, effect on Ultras.
- Aurora Beam (オーロラ光線, Ōrora Kōsen): A larger-scale deployment of the Aurora Beam equipped on the Alien Cannan's spaceship. The residual energy takes the form of aurora borealis in the sky.
