Punch is a Japanese macaque born in July 2025 at the Ichikawa City Zoological and Botanical Garden in Chiba Prefecture, Japan. Shortly after birth, his mother abandoned him, a rare occurrence with first-time mothers, so zookeepers had to hand-rear and bottle-feed him to ensure his survival.

To give him comfort, staff provided a large stuffed orangutan toy, which Punch bonded with and carried everywhere as a surrogate mother. Early attempts to integrate him into the monkey troop in 2026 were challenging; he faced rejection and bullying from other monkeys and often retreated to his toy for safety.

Recent updates are positive—Punch is gradually being accepted, even being groomed by older macaques, a key sign of social belonging. His story went viral through zoo updates and visitor videos, leading to a surge of visitors coming to Ichikawa City Zoo to cheer him on.
