Due to the lack of cable/satellite at my house, I had to resort to watching digital channels. One time I was watching one, I caught this anime called "Going Wild", which stars three monkey brothers and their life at the animal village. I've seen a few episodes of the show and it was adorable! (though the voices needed some work...it's a dub, I think)

While watching the show, I noticed the monkeys reminded me of the Yuuhi Ouendan leaders especially Chester who is pictured here. Obviously he's with Hajime, who might be so I consider, his human counterpart . Both are quite intelligent (love of reading) and are the youngest in the bunch. I guess I unintentionally made my image of the rookie to be like that monkey. But it's pretty cute. Chester's elder bro, Monty (aka the star of the show) reminds me of Ryuta and his possible reckless attitude. XD

So here you have a rookie cheerer and a monkey that both wear glasses. I say they could be the best of study buddies thanks to their similarities. ^^
