The RAPMEN[1] (ＲＡＰＭＥＮ[2]?, RAPMEN), also written as the Rap Men (ラップメン?, Rappu Men), are two red and yellow men who rap about snacks. They appear in the Rhythm Game of the same name, Rap Men, in Rhythm Tengoku.

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 RAPMEN 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 casual-like, while the yellow one is a little bored, as he doesn’t need to speak on the air.[3] Their rivals, the Rap Women, not only stole the RAPMEN's popularity, but also their snacks.[4]
The RAPMEN 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 RAPMEN pick up.
