Kenya Boy is perhaps the one tale that most likely has inspired Cyborg 009, since Sōji Yamakawa and Shotaro Ishinomori were basically Tohoku natives living in Tokyo.
The setting of Kenya Boy is usually and most likely the East African subcontinent where the titular hero lives, and so in a Jungle Jim-ish fashion, was uneasily bonded with a broken bird English Rose and a Maasai Golden Oldie.
