A former vocalist in a 60's Japanese mod band called 'The Spiders', Masaaki Sakai is still a popular TV entertainer in Japan, sort of a cross between Shane Ritchie and Noel Edmunds (are these popular entertainers?!
With his necklace of nine human skulls and bizarre haircut, one can be forgiven for wondering why the mild-mannered Sandy was not as well known as Pigsy, especially as he was Monkey's closest companion.
Sandy was played by Shiro Kishibe, like Massaki Sakai a former Japanese pop star, Kishibe was a singer in a group called 'The Spiders'.

 Monkey - Volume 3
It was something of a pleasant surprise to discover that, after fifteen years without watching the show, I still quite enjoyed Saiyûki, or Monkey as it is called in English-speaking countries.
Based on the ancient Chinese legends that trace the origins of the Buddhist faith, Monkey follows the adventures of Tripitaka (Masako Natsume), Monkey (Masaaki Sakai), Pigsy (Toshiyuki Nishida), and Sandy (Shirô Kishibe) from China to India in order to fetch the Buddhist scriptures that will save the world.
The first volume of their adventures to be released on DVD was something of a prologue that details how Monkey, Pigsy, and Sandy fell from the heavens and were steered by Buddha (Mieko Takamine) towards aiding Tripitaka on his perilous journey.

 Amazon.co.uk: Monkey! - Episodes 1-3, Monkey Goes Wild About Heaven / Monkey Turns Nursemaid / The Great Journey ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
It kind of relates to the classic book written by Wu Chieng-en (and published by Penguin Classics in a lovely version), though it has been reinterpreted with English dubbing/intepretation- almost as deranged as Emma Thompson's father's interpretation of The Magic Roundabout.
The performances are great- Masako Natsumo as the eunuch-priest (?) is a lot foxier than I recall and Monkey (Masaki Sakai) a sort of Kung Fu-Elvis.
This is much more fun than the Kung Fu series, though shares the central notion of travelling towards a Holy destination.

Put it down to the inspiration of the creators, the vigour of the presentation, the righteousness of the themes, and the fact that Masaaki Sakai is so darn convincing as the eponymous primate that you'd swear he was hiding a prehensile tail down his trousers.
