They are the trespassers of Monkey Mountain at Ichikawa Zoo. Because of these selfish people, thousands of genuine Punch Kun fans are now suffering just to get a proper view of our beloved Punch. After the zoo added netting and expanded the viewing area, things should have improved… but now? You only get about 10 minutes in the front row to catch a glimpse of Punch. Recording properly from the back rows has become almost impossible. We just want to watch the monkeys in peace 🐒 Stop ruining it for everyone.

9/19 Punch showed up after 3 weeks… still holding onto his Oran Mama. That little grip says everything. No matter how much he grows, when he needs comfort, he still reaches for her. And look at the babies now. So big. So fluffy. Time really doesn’t wait. Some bonds just don’t fade. 🧡🐒🧸

💔 Heartbreaking Update for Punch Kun Fans Around the World 💔 One selfish MF ruined it for everyone. Yesterday’s shocking trespasser incident at Ichikawa City Zoo has forced authorities to take extreme measures. The zoo is now seriously considering and likely moving toward a complete ban on all filming at Monkey Mountain. All those peaceful moments of Punch Kun playing, climbing, and hugging his plushie that brought joy to millions online… may soon disappear from fan videos. This is devastating for international fans who rely on clips to see their favorite baby macaque. Animal safety comes first, but one reckless act has stolen something precious from all of us. Let’s respect the rules, support the zoo, and hope for the best for Punch and his troop. 📢 English Translation of the Official Zoo Thread + Major Precautions: Post 1: 【Regarding the Trespassing Incident ①】 We apologize for causing concern regarding yesterday’s trespassing incident into the Monkey Mountain enclosure. We have confirmed that there are no abnormalities in any of the animals. Last night, we filed a police report with the Ichikawa Police Station. From tomorrow onward, we will continue implementing measures with the safety and health of the animals as our top priority, while strictly dealing with any rule violations. #IchikawaCityZoo Post 2: 【Regarding the Trespassing Incident ②】 We discussed future responses with Ichikawa City. Starting tomorrow, Tuesday, May 19, at Monkey Mountain, we will implement the following: ① Expansion of restricted viewing areas ② Installation of anti-intrusion netting in the restricted areas ③ Constant on-site patrols within the restricted areas We apologize for the increased inconvenience this will cause, and we ask for your understanding. #IchikawaCityZoo Post 3: 【Regarding the Trespassing Incident ③】 During discussions, a complete ban on filming at Monkey Mountain was also considered. We will continue further review regarding the methods and potential impacts of a full ban. Additionally, we have received many filming consultation requests and project proposals from YouTubers and others. In light of this incident, we will suspend all such proposals for the time being. #IchikawaCityZoo

03.4.2026 Little Punch is figuring out the troop rules faster than anyone expected 🐒✨ Today he's glued to the side of the biggest, calmest alpha male on Monkey Mountain — shadowing him everywhere he goes, just like a smart little shadow. Punch knows: if Big Daddy accepts him, the rest of the crew won't dare mess with the kid. Such clever instincts for such a tiny guy who's already been through so much. Keep winning hearts (and alliances), Punch-kun! ❤️👑 Caption: Grok

Oh god, why do they keep getting tougher on the weakest one… 😔 Little Punch-Kun just wanted to play... approached with that tiny hopeful bounce, but instead of a friendly tumble, he got shoved face-first into the ground. 🥺 For a second he just froze, processing it all—Already carrying yesterday’s bruises on his lip, now this. Then he quietly shuffled to the corner, sat alone, staring into nothing. No one came to check on him. No little pat or "it's okay." Breaks my heart every time I see it. Poor baby deserves so much gentleness. 🐒🤗 Protect the soft ones out there 🤍

8/15 Monkeys at Ichikawa Zoo have been extra aggressive these past few days… Today a group attacked a mom and her baby. The mother monkey fought fiercely to protect her little one and started calling out for help. Then Akira appeared and rushed in to back her up. Funny thing is, Akira never shows up when Punch cries… so they must really know each other by their calls 🐵 📹 sao19901108

Feed him alone like Punch before he develops trust issues Too cute to live like this. Save him pls 🥬🐒❤️ #CabbageDefender #IchikawaZoo

July 2 🐵🍌 Punch Kun was called by his name from inside the room to come eat food in the backyard. All the other monkeys got scared and ran out in panic. But only Punch went inside calmly when his name was called. This clearly shows Punch understands his name being called.

July 3 – Lunch at 12:00 Punch was missing from the enclosure again. Surprisingly, both caretakers were present on duty, which means the claim that “one of them stays inside with him in the backyard” is not true. He was most likely locked outside with other monkeys. At 12:04, when Punch-kun finally returned to the enclosure, he immediately started eating. This shows he was not given his full meal while he was inside. It seems the main reason for taking him in is to separate him from the keepers, not just to feed him.

❤️ Today 6/4/2026 a new baby came to meet Punch Kun 🐵So cute and innocent 💕 The little baby crawled close to him first. Punch was a bit scared and nervous because he knows baby’s mom might not like it. But he was also very curious. It was such a sweet and heartwarming moment. Cr: m_m_1_12

I don’t remember the last time I saw Punch this happy, playing freely with monkeys his own size. For so long, constant attacks made the young ones keep their distance only the babies would go near him, because he’s always so gentle with them. But after the last two days of action by Ichikawa Zoo, things are finally starting to shine. Young monkeys are coming close and playing with him again. He’s even beginning to form bonds with some of the new bigger monkeys. Really good signs… hoping it continues 🤞 📹 8/18 Animal days

2026.08.22 🗓️ Three days… two precious reunions 🥹 Day before yesterday it was Papa Kosuke Shikano, and today Papa Shumpei Miyakoshi gave Punch a ride 😭❤️ After almost a whole month of separation, Punch still didn’t forget either of his caretakers… maybe the zoo is slowly returning to the old plan? 🤞 Thank you so much for these happy moments, Ichikawa Zoo 🙏 The day is coming very close when we won’t be able to see Punch from September… 😭😭

Aiko stepping up big time for his little bestie 🛡️❤️ This sweet macaque was one of the very first to welcome baby Punch kun into the troop, and now he's gone full personal bodyguard mode, gently but firmly keeping the other young monkeys at a safe distance so Punch can just chill and be a kid. 🐒💪 Punch may have started out alone, but with Aiko watching his back, he's got the best kind of family now. Keep shining, you two! 🫶✨
