The motivation for the birth of Uemon originated from a jury meeting of the author Monkey Boxing in San Diego, USA. When he signed a local female reader, he improvised a picture of Lu Bang's face. Unexpectedly, the woman showed a disappointed expression. Only after asking did she know that she was dissatisfied with the lack of oriental characters in Japanese comics. Therefore, after Monkey Boxing returned to China, he soon added Japanese characters to his works.
Monkey Boxing was also sold on the DVD of the sixth "Death or Survival" in the theatrical version. He said that after watching several episodes, he felt that he should have a Japanese character in his comics.
