Ra Makimaki (Mo'o 'Ala)

Ra Makimaki is the main character in Mo'o 'Ala- The Mighty Primate King. He is an alternate universe version of Son Goku who lives on an Earth made up of an archipelago and dominated by a tropical climate.

Background
Ra Makimaki shares a near parallel upbringing to that of Son Goku, from the escape of Planet Vegeta to being found by his adoptive grandfather. After his adoptive grandfather mysteriously dies, he lives alone until he is found by a young girl.

Design
Ra Makimaki is a Saiyan who came to Earth, yet he has noticeable differences from that of the main-story Saiyans, including his darker skin, inspired by the islanders of Polynesia, and a black tail, similar to the tails of South Pacific monkey species. He is dressed in native Hawai'ian clothing with a leaf lei, grass armbands, cloth skirt, and leaf ankle bands.

Naming
Ra Makimaki is a translation from the Maori language. Ra is Sun, as in Sun Wukong, and Makimaki is the Maori word for ape or monkey.
