Monkey Typhoon, known in Japan as Assobot Robot Goku (Japanese: アソボット戦記五九, Hepburn: Assobotto Senki Gokū, lit. "The War Chronicles of Goku the Assobot"), is a Japanese mixed-media project created by Avex Inc., consisting of a manga series and an anime television series. The project was first announced in June 2000, under the tentative title Son Gokū no Bōken (孫悟空の冒険, "Son Goku Adventure"), with collaboration of writer Yoshimi Ishikawa.[1] The series is loosely based on the 16th century novel Journey to the West.[2]
The manga series, Assobot Goku, was written by Shin Kibayashi (under the pen name Jōji Arimori) and illustrated by Romu Aoi, serialized in Kodansha's shōnen manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Magazine from 2001 to 2002, with its chapters collected in seven tankōbon volumes. The 52-episode anime television series was animated by studio Egg and broadcast on TV Tokyo from October 2002 to September 2003.
