Zapan is a character of the Manga Gunnm , creates by Yukito Kishiro.

Zapan is Hunter-Warrior de Kuzutetsu. Very haughty, it is engueulé by Gally which reproaches him its cowardice when she asks of the assistance to fight Makaku. Zapan and it will briefly fight but, this combat was gained without problem by a Gally by too much powerful for Zapan. After this humiliation, it will try to mentally destroy it by forcing it to kill Yugo, the person whom she loves. Gally will manage to find a pretense to save Yugo, but after Zapan tried to complete it will very seriously wound it with the face.

After this wound, Zapan met soft Sara with which it will fall in love. It will help this one in a simple charity association and will try to remake a calmer life with its in love. However a reminiscence of last will plunge it in a crisis of madness where he will decapitate Sara accidentally, thus incurring its place on the list of premium.

During two years, he was sought by Murdock the father of Sara, him also Hunter-Warrior. He desired to confront with Gally one second time, but was massacred by Murdock and his dogs cyborgs.

Later, whereas its state was desperate, its brain and some other bodies (stops, eyes and ears) were recovered by Desty Nova. Full with joy of having found a guinea-pig with the extreme motivations, it exauça the wish of Zapan to become stronger by offering it to him body of Berserker. Unfortunately, Zapan became too powerful and destroyed the laboratory of Nova to go to kill Gally. The latter found the scientist and was combined with him to overcome once for any Zapan. An ultimate superhuman combat opposed them and Gally gained it accuracy helped by the nano-machines of Nova. At the time of its rage in berserker (indeed, the body of berserker increases the feelings of the carrier, here rage and hatred), Zapan killed Ido, Gonzu, Murdock and all Hunter-Warriors of Kansas Bar.

Zapan is a tragic figure, pushed by hatred. It is however not so bad when one sees it with soft Sara. It is a relatively cruel character who can make watch of a certain tenderness and vulnerability.

Zapan is the name of one of the infernal lords in the Bible.

The sign in the shape of cross on its face is a wink with the logo of the group Blue Öyster Cult, Kishiro being a large fan of rock'n'roll.
