He wears the military uniform and armor associated with the Ou Ki Army's army commanders with his cape being green colored and for causal clothing, Kan Ou wears robes of high standard.
Personality[]
Kan Ou is a very serious man that isn't afraid of going into battles with a high chance of death, having stated that he excels in them the most. He can be considered the more serious but reasonable man amongst the army commanders of the Ou Ki Army, not being overly hot blooded or confrontational like Roku O Mi, nitpicky and detailed obsessed like Ryuu Koku, or much of a huckler like Rin Bou and Dou Kin. However, he isn't an arrogant man or short sighted having offered help to others regardless of their origins. This was shown when he proclaimed Shin's victory against Fuu Ki across the battlefield in a burst of explosive acclaim.
History[]
It is assumed that Kan Ou has served in Ou Ki's battles in the past and has worked his way past being a 1000-man commander. As the commander of the 4th army, he is in charge of leading 10,000 troops into battle, and after the first day is leading the remaining 3,000 troops.
Story[]
Battle of Bayou Arc[]
Kan Ou is first seen, prior to the battle, with Ou Ki and the other vassals as his lord surveys the terrain. He is placed in charge of the 4th army of Qin. As the battle rages on, he is brought by Ou Ki to the Qin left army to help reduce the number of enemy pieces and when Ou Ki mentions the fighting will be brutal, he says that fights to the death are what he excels at the most. He leads the cavalry past the battered Qin's left army to break through the opposing Zhao forces and reach Fuu Ki's camp. He arrives in time to save the Hi Shin Unit from being destroyed and declares that he has come for Fuu Ki's head. Upon confronting the Zhao general's forces, he continues to cut them down with great ferocity. Kanou catches up to Fuu Ki as he retreats with his guards to the Zhao center and states that he is ten years too early to match wits with Ou Ki, predicting his end as his lord's arrow had arrived in the form of Shin. After Shin killed the Zhao general, Kan Ou asks if his unit has a name and upon hearing it, shouts out to all the units responsible for killing Fuu Ki then scattered the remaining forces.
On the second day of battle, he offers to help Mou Bu by offering himself and his 3,000 men to deal with the Zhao archers but is turned down by Mou Bu who tells him to piss off. Kan Ou also notes the unusually high morale evident in Mou Bu's army before they charged the Zhao center. At the meeting Mou Bu has with Ou Ki, he is placed under Mou Bu's command along with the other commanders so they can attack the Zhao headquarters at once. On the fourth day, Kan Ou prepares his army and notes the arrival of the Hi Shin Unit, telling Shin that he looks forward to his efforts. His army charges at the Zhao headquarters some moments after the other 4 Qin armies, catching the Zhao by surprise. Kan Ou's troops make it to the mountain where the Zhao HQ is situated but finds it well defended by their forces, but he still presses on with the attack. Following Mou Bu's orders to pursue the Zhao forces into the mountainous region, Kan Ou's army camps with that of Roku O Mi at night after failing to engage enemy forces before nightfall.
Hearing a disturbance on the east side of the camp, Kan Ou orders his men to the area and tells the other defense teams to be on guard. He is later informed that the intruder is only one man and guess that it must be Hou Ken then moves into action. He orders his horse brought to him and the cavalry and crossbowmen to be gathered as well as a message to Roku O Mi about the situation. As he rides to the east side, a gong rings out telling that the enemy is attacking, and it turns out to be the Man Goku Army. He arrives at Hou Ken's location a few minutes after Man Goku and his crossbowmen fire on the Bushin but to no effect. When his lieutenant tells him that they are outnumbered by the Zhao, he still orders the Qin forces to bring him Hou Hen's head. He engages Man Goku in a one-on-one duel, noting that he is a tough fighter and notices that Shin is up to something. Kan Ou loses the duel to Man Goku with the Zhao General wounding him heavily and his army is shattered by the Zhao forces.

Battle of Kankoku Pass[]
