Takasakiyama Natural Zoological Garden publicity director Takamon. There seem to be several theories about the origin of the name, such as Takasakiyama no monkey and Kamo-on to Takasakiyama, but Takamon works hard in promotional activities while aiming for the position of boss monkey so that people can feel closer to Mount Takasaki!
