Actually, the Monkey King is from Chinese lore, originating from the Chinese novel Journey to the West, and adapted into Japanese stories. But yeah.

Oh, and the RWBY characters are all based on characters from classic stories, not just fairytales and mythology. The Wizard of Oz is considered a classic novel, but not a fairytale and definitely not mythology, yet we have Ozpin (Oz), Glynda (Glenda the Good Witch), and Ironwood (the Tin Man). We also have Velvet, who is based on the classic children's book The Velveteen Rabbit. And so on.
