I know there are different types of lycanthrope, a shapeshifter with 2 shifts. I know that different cultures (like japanese, western, norse) discuss the consent of lycanthropes. But how many different types of shifters in these stories are lycanthrope?

Your question is vague. Do you mean "human who becomes a wolf"? Or something more specific? (The answer to the first is that they are legion.)– MaryCommented Jan 15, 2022 at 1:00

Werewolves are an individual race, though the word "werewolf" is used as a descriptive word to describe any similar creature race.
Varcolac - A Romanian creature that is commonly believed to be a wizard who can take a wolf's form.
Loup-garou - A creature native to France that shares a lot of similarities with Werewolves.
Lupo-mannero - Italian creatures similar to Loup-garou
Benandanti - Werewolf-like creatures also from Italy that can leave their physical body and travel to Hell
