And if you didn't believe me that it shares its inspiration with goku, the japanese name for son wu kong is son goku. It is also similar to the Vanara, a race of ape-like humanoids in the Hindu epic Ramayana, specifically Hanuman, who was granted immunity to fire. Hanuman is also believed to have influenced Sun Wukong. Also it gained fighting type because there's a fighting style in kung fu called monkey kung fu.
