Talk:Feng Kowloon

As Shen seems to be based on Sun Wukong from Journey to the West, Feng seems to be based on the Six-Eared Macaque, a being that is Sun Wukong's equal in both appearance and ability. As Shen wields Wukong's Nyoi-Kinko (the Japanese name for the Ruyi Jingu Bang, 如意金箍棒, the Compliant Golden Ringed Rod), Feng wields the Macaque's Zuishin Tekkan Rod (Suishin Tie Gan Bing, 隨心鐵桿兵, the Acquiescent Iron Pole).

I can't find any indication of Kokuto'un existing in Journey to the West, but a Dark Nimbus (Kuro Kinto'un, 黑筋斗云, literally Black Somersault Cloud, same kanji as Kinto'un) did appear as an evil version of the Flying Nimbus in a filler episode of the Dragon Ball. Whether Kokuto'un (which in Chinese would probably be Hei Dou Yun, 黑斗云) is based on Dark Nimbus or something canon to Journey to the West, I'm not sure.

I imagine not, since the original Jin Dou Yun was a technique that Sun Wukong was capable of, not an item that he possessed. Since the Macaque has all of Sun Wukong's abilities, he naturally is also capable of using the Jin Dou Yun technique, but as near as I can find it's still referred to as Jin Dou Yun, not "black Jin Dou Yun."

Whoever moderates this wiki may want to consider using this information either in Feng's Trivia section or when making pages for Zuishin Tekkan Rod and Kokuto'un.
