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, who not only stole the Rap Men's popularity, but also their snacks.[3]
