Simisage is based on a {{wp|monkey}} and a {{wp|tree}}; the fact that it is based on both may mean it might be based on the legends of {{wp|Monkey tree phenomenon|monkey trees}} or possibly a visual pun on {{wp|Colobinae|leaf monkeys}}. Its hairstyle may have been inspired by the ''{{wp|bōsōzoku}}'' or {{wp|Yankee#In other countries|yankee}} subculture. | Simisage is based on a {{wp|monkey}} and a {{wp|tree}}; the fact that it is based on both may mean it might be based on the legends of {{wp|Monkey tree phenomenon|monkey trees}} or possibly a visual pun on {{wp|Colobinae|leaf monkeys}}. | ||
Its hairstyle may have been inspired by the ''{{wp|bōsōzoku}}'' or {{wp|Yankee#In other countries|yankee}} subculture. This pompadour-like hair, common in the 50s, contrasts with the hippy-like hairstyle of [[Simipour]], common in the late 60s and the 70s. | |||
It two contemporaries seem to be inspired by the {{wp|three wise monkeys}} motif; [[Simisear]] has a connection to "hear no evil", and Simipour to "see no evil". However, there is no obvious connection between Simisage's appearance and the third, "speak no evil". | |||
