Olan is sometimes serious, but always lights up when he's listening to music or playing the drums. Olan studies in grade 3 at the local elementary school. His mother was living in hardship after his Japanese father abandoned the family when Olan was 3 years old and his brother, Naoki, was 1. Since then there is no contact from his father. He is Japanese from Hokkaido. It is presumed he lives there. His mother lives in Bangkok and rarely visits her children. Olan loves playing the drums in the Home's boy band and listening to Thai rock music. He also loves dogs.
