The Rap Men (ラップメン?, Rappu Men), also written as the RAPMEN[1], are two red and yellow men who rap about snacks and sweets. They appear in the similarly named game Rap Men in Rhythm Tengoku.
Physical Appearance
The red rapper is shorter than his partner. He has a white shirt with a number one on it. He has gray headphones, pink sunglasses, and blue pants.
The yellow rapper is a much larger man. He has the same white shirt, but it has a zero on it rather than a one. He also wears blue pants and always has his eyes closed.
Backstory
The Rap Men have gained fans across many age groups with their relatable lyrics. They appear in an interview on the radio, where the red one talks all cool and nimble, while the yellow one is a little bored, as he doesn’t need to speak on the air.[2] Their rivals, the Rap Women, not only stole the Rap Men's popularity, but also their snacks.[3]
The Rap Men are shown to be racing fans, and they appear on a poster advertising the Battle of the Bands. Their phone number appears to be 555-ROCK-OUT, as inputting said number into the Phone has the Rap Men pick up. They also appear in framed pictures in the Weasel Couple's home.
Quotes
In the game Rap Men, the red rapper has a variety of quotes. These include:
「〜ですか？」 (~Desuka??, ~Right?)
"わかりますか？" (Wakarimasuka??, You get it, right?) (Practice)
"ＰＭ３：００ ですか？" (Sanji desu ka??, It's 3:00 PM, right?)
"おやつ ですか？" (Oyatsu desuka??, It's snack time, right??)
"ほんとですか？" (Honto desuka??, It's true, right?)
「〜かもネ」 (Kamone?, I suppose)
"たのしい かもネ" (Tanoshī kamone?, Havin' fun, I suppose) (Practice)
- たのし (Tanoshī?) can be heard on the Phone in Rhythm Heaven, where it was localized as "Havin' fun!"
"おいしい かもネ" (Oishī kamone?, It's delish, I suppose)
"ヘルシー かもネ" (Herushī kamone?, It's healthy, I suppose)
"オレの せいかもネ" (Orenosei kamone?, It's because of me, I suppose)
"それもそう かもネ" (Soremosō kamone?, I guess it's true, I suppose)
「〜サイコー！！」 (Saikō!!?, the BEST!!)
