Lakan: zodiac sign and birth chart
Lakan has no canon birthday. The novels, manga and anime never give one. Read from his personality, he's a Gemini, with Moon, Mercury and Venus there too, and Aquarius rising on top. That fits the monocled strategist who can't tell human faces apart, sees go pieces instead, and still reads exactly what each person can do.

Lakan's chart at a glance
No canon birthday, so this is NEBO's take, read from his character.
NEBO's take
No birthday in canon. His personality says Gemini.
We ran Lakan through the same model that matches people to characters in the app, and looked at which chart gets him most often. It reads him as air first: quick, odd and impossible to predict.

CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeGemini
Gemini loves a game and a strange angle. He can play go for hours.
- Moon
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeGemini
A Gemini Moon can't sit still. He barges in where he isn't invited.
- Rising
CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeAquarius
No birth time in canon. First impression: an eccentric man in a monocle whom the court gives a wide berth.
- Mercury
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeGemini
Gemini Mercury sees patterns. Instead of faces he sees go pieces, and he knows where each one belongs on the board of the court.
- Venus
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeGemini
Gemini charm, a little off. He stubbornly seeks out Maomao, and she answers with icy contempt.
- Mars
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeAquarius
Aquarius takes the odd road. He moves people across the court his own way, and nobody can say it isn't working.
What canon does give: a brilliant oddball the court fears and avoids. A Gemini answer is to treat the whole court as a game and be the only one who knows the rules.
