British site about Japanese 1970’s TV show “Monkey” ( 西遊記 = さいゆうき = saiyuuki) which I would bet spawned some of the flying-monkey imagery in Dragon Ball Z.

Monkey was based on the Chinese story Hsi Yu Chi (= Journey to the West), which not coincidentally is spelled with the same characters ( 西遊記 ). I’m sure you could trace the monkey character back to the Hindu god Hanuman.
