Hero (主人公, Shujinkō) is the commonly given name for the protagonist of PlayStation Move: Ape Escape.
Appearance[]
Hero wears a blue jacket with the sleeves ripped off, a red and white striped shirt under it, and a pair of brown jeans. His face is never shown on screen but is always obscured by something in a cutscene.
Personality[]
Since Hero is a silent protagonist, very little is known about him. His introductory subtitling states that he was mischievous and a known troublemaker. However, his heart is in the right place, as he is willing to go back in time and even into space to catch the rampaging monkeys.
Biography[]
PlayStation Move: Ape Escape[]
Troublemaking Past[]
Not much is known about his past, but according to his introductory text, he was somewhat of a known troublemaker.
Monkey Invasion[]
Hero was eating pizza and watching the news when the Monkey Invasion began. An U.F.O. crashed into his house, releasing several monkeys. Tohko and Tsukushi appeared and gave Hero a Monkey Net to catch the monkeys. Afterwards, the two twins told Hero that their grandmother, Haru, was the original owner of the monkeys. One day, a monkey named Specter mysteriously disappeared, and she built a machine to find him. Before its completion, she herself disappeared. The device also had the ability to travel through time. The twins pleaded for Hero to help them catch all the monkeys, and although he was doubtful at first, he agreed to help them catch the monkeys and find Specter and Haru.
Trivia[]
