Kuta, also sometimes spelled Kuuta, is a small pet monkey who appears in the anime adaptation of Ape Escape, specifically in Saru Get You ~On Air~ and its sequel. He has white fur, blue eyes, and a small round tail, and he wears a yellow handkerchief around his neck. Kuta is the companion of Natalie and is defined by a laid-back and carefree temperament. He loves to play and interact with Natalie and the other characters, extending his friendliness not only to humans but to other monkeys as well. Despite not being particularly intelligent, he possesses a great deal of curiosity and an innocent outlook on the world around him. At the beginning of the story, Kuta mysteriously disappears, a event that helps set the narrative in motion. His primary relationship is with his owner, Natalie, and his role revolves around being a beloved and gentle companion. Kuta does not display any notable special abilities beyond his warm, sociable personality and his ability to bring a sense of ease and playfulness to those around him. His development remains limited, as he largely serves as a symbol of simple affection and the bond between people and their animal friends.
