He was known as a nationalistic cultural figure, who directed plays and wrote poetry and met with Idel-Ural politicians Sadri Maksudi and Ayaz İshaki.

Born as the son of Khakimzhan Mukhametaminov and Maryam Alyautdinova in the Nizhny Novgorod Governorate Mishar village Aktuk, Aisa Hakimcan (Aisya Khakimzhanov) came to Finland in 1917.

[1][4] At the turn of the 1920s, Hakimcan had been one of the Muslims in Tampere, who signed a letter to the imam of Helsinki, urging him to initiate the project of establishing a Tatar congregation.

[6] He also acted himself; for example in 1930s, when a play Zöleyha (Zöləyxa) was shown at Tampere Theatre, in honor of guest Ayaz İshaki, who is said to have been very pleased with the performance and "appropriately chosen" actors.

In short, he expressed his feelings in the opening page of his three-part publication, Milli şiğer wə cırlar ( ميللى شيعر وه جرلار; ’National poems and songs’, 1956-1966), as follows: Belməsəm il dərtləren, min bolay yazmas idem.

[1][3] In 1935, Hakimcan wrote that he wished to return to his homeland with "children full of faith", ending the text with İnnə əd-dinə ğinda allahi əl-islam ("Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam"; 3:19.).

With businessman Semiulla Wafin, he published a religious work called İslam dine xaq dinder (ايسلام دينى خاق ديندر).

[1][3][11] In 1938, a 20-year memorial service for Idel Ural State was held in Warsaw, organized by Tatar activist Ayaz Ishaki.

Led by the Polish Tatar imam Ali Woronovicz, they visited the tomb of the unknown soldier to honor the deceased fellow Muslims.

[19] In modern Russian sources, the surname is spelled Хакимджан (Khakimdzhan), which is a closer equivalent of the Mishar affricate pronunciation [d͡ʒ].

They had two children; daughter Aliye, who was a talented singer and actress in Tatar language, and a son, hockey player-referee Räshid.

[33][34] The older brothers of Aisa, Ibrahim and Siddik, as well as his mother, widow of a farmer, Merjam Alautdinoff (Maryam Alyautdinova; 1863–1947) also lived in Finland.
