Munkidori, together with Okidogi and Fezandipiti, are known as the heroes of Kitakami. They are beloved by the people of Kitakami as heroes that protected the land in the past, and stone statues were made in their likeness to express the people’s gratitude toward these three Pokémon.[1]
Trivia
Origin
Munkidori may be based on a monkey, particularly the Japanese macaque.
Munkidori, together with Okidogi, Fezandipiti, and Ogerpon, may reference the Japanese folktale of Momotarō. The tale relates the titular Momotarō, a boy born from inside a peach, who traveled alongside a talking dog, monkey, and pheasant to fight a band of oni (a Japanese folkloric creature commonly equated to ogres in translations).
Name origin
Munkidori may be a combination of monkey and hunky dory (slang meaning that things are good).
Mashimashira may be a combination of 増し mashi (better, improving) and 猿 mashira (archaic word for monkey or ape).
