Lion-tailed macaque (Macaca silenus)
The lion-tailed macaque is an Old World monkey endemic to the Western Ghats of South India. The lion-tailed macaque is a rainforest dweller; it is diurnal, meaning it is active exclusively in daylight hours. It is a good climber and spends a majority of its life in the upper canopy of tropical moist evergreen forests. Unlike other macaques, it typically avoids humans when possible. Lion-tailed macaque behaviour is characterized by typical patterns such as arboreal living, selectively feeding on a large variety of fruit trees, large interindividual spaces while foraging, and time budgets with high proportion of time devoted to exploration and feeding.

If Sora from Kingdom Hearts would be any monkey…
…he’d be a Lion Tailed Macaque.
He’s got the wild hair, full on monkey vibes and his shoes are practically big enough to hide monkey feet. Also his original concept art tried to portray as a lion but…
You just made him look more like a Lion Tailed Macaque with this design. He’s a monkey pretending to be a lion at this point.
He’s even got the grin for it.
Sora is a Lion Tailed Macaque disguised as a human and you can’t tell me otherwise.
