Citation? All I know for sure is that Sun Wukong is based off of the monkey king of the same name from Journey to the West even to the point of being a monkey-based faunus, wielding a staff and potentially being able to percieve people's true identities (in the book Sun Wukong could see through all disguises, kind of like how Sun could tell Blake was a faunus).

The only link Sun has to Goku is the fact that Goku was also based off of Sun Wukong. Beyond that there is no shared traits between the two that the two don't mutually share with the monkey king.
