Jan Minakaze
- Jan is a human character in the Japanese G1 continuity family.
Jan Minakaze (南風ジャン, Minakaze Jan) is a human boy orphaned after a spacecraft carrying him and his family was destroyed by the Dinoforce. He was adopted by Star Saber who acts as his father. He is very protective of Star Saber and does not enjoy watching him go off into battle. He greatly admires his "father" and treats him with the utmost respect. He works along with the Rescue Patrol in giving innocent by-standers aid from Decepticon attacks.
While a human child, Jan’s exposure to an Autobot upbringing has made him very smart for his age. While he has no special weapons he has built for himself a vehicle capable moving on two robotic legs. He named his creation "Ilumina II", after a girl from his school. When indoors he uses a hover-board to get around and attract attention. For a boy his age he is very brave and intelligent.
