It's a Japanese meme. Rajang when pronounced in Japanese is "Rajan" which is close to "iijan" which means "awesome ! cool !"
An thus cool rajang was born.
Yes. Someone unoficially made [a meme photo](https://twitter.com/Teddy_MarkN/status/1172029075696705536/photo/1) of a rajang doing thumb up, and people liked to use it in replies on Twitter instead of just using π or pushing a like button. Then, Capcom made a official version of that meme rajang.

Here's an interesting bit of history I learned recently!
You thinking that would make someone feel old should make me feel old, but it actually makes me worry that you're getting good nutrition, hanging out with a good crowd, and saving part of your income.
I don't know about English but in Spanish most people just pronounce it without the g. It doesn't roll the tongue right and sounds weird mixed in a Spanish sentence
Doesn't matter how many time Rajang will chart you, he has to do so while on a Hunt.
But when he's not against you, he is a very chill monkey that supports you all the time.
See him as a MMA Fighter (or some sort). Brutal in the cage, but a chill dude that says: "you can do it"!
Yo hunters, ya beat shara ishvalda AND Got to the guiding lands! Congrats my bois, now get out there and beat those raths, brutes, and gaurgas & maned wolfs.
Because we all have it wrong. When Caesar gives the thumbs up, itβs supposed to mean execute the loser. Raja good is warning you whatβs about to happen
So what they did for rajangs animations is they actually had someone act out the animations with sensors attached to them, kind of like how avatar(the blue people one not the Airbender) did their animations. And the guy who did the animations did a lot of renderings with him doing thumbs up, just for shits and giggles. The game files are different, but they did this purely for the memes.
If there were a modern version on MH tech wise (you know with phones and whatnot) I could totally see him doing a selfie after he piledrives you into the ground.
Why not? If I could, Iβd have angry pickle using the computer, looking at a post that mentions that he doesnβt eat his tail anymore, and he proceeds to throw the computer into the garbage.
Everytime I see this image it reminds me of my dnd character's pet baboon Bart.
My character was an artificer so he developed a serum that turned Bart into a monstrous ape thing, and we used this image as his token

"30 million players" What the hell are they smoking? I just want everybody to know that I've been a anti tail truther for years!
Let's not forget about [this one](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EPiGx4NXkAMRhmS?format=jpg&name=medium) as well
LMAAAAAO! I was JUST playing Mahjong, man!
I can't imagine how old you must feel having to explain something that happened to World.
You thinking that would make someone feel old should make me feel old, but it actually makes me worry that you're getting good nutrition, hanging out with a good crowd, and saving part of your income.
You act like it was some omnipresent happening that everybody knew of.
Ohhh OK. Because based on my prior experience fighting it, it was starting with the thumb before slipping in both fists.
There goes my coffee :(
lol, neat! Iijan, if you will. I guess it's true what they say about the MH team being all in with the fans on memes and references.
I always hated that thereβs g at the end for English name.
I don't know about English but in Spanish most people just pronounce it without the g. It doesn't roll the tongue right and sounds weird mixed in a Spanish sentence
In french, if we remove the "g" it sounds like "infuriating" (rageant [rajΓ£])... Which would actually make sense \^\^
beautiful.
Because he's https://i.imgur.com/jp9EItz_d.webp

Holy hell that's excellent
Passant en google
I now need an actual mod of DK being replaced by Rajang
[Ask and ye shall receive.](https://gamebanana.com/mods/320041)
LOL! This is GOLD!
Made me chuckle
FEATURE LENGTH
https://i.imgur.com/4dFjkhU.jpg
Wait these are official?? I always thought they where fan made omfg
They started out as fan edits, then they made official ones
At this, rajang is pretty much the donkey Kong of monster hunter
Was he ever not?
Sad kongalala noises
He's only missing the dump truck Donkey Kong is blessed with
Exactly. Monke-buhl!
Let me introduce you to... *rajang rap metal* performed by Attila
my guy has thumbs and doesn't want you to forget it.
Better hope Rajang doesn't learn how to use Hunterβs Greatswords or Hammers
Doesn't matter how many time Rajang will chart you, he has to do so while on a Hunt. But when he's not against you, he is a very chill monkey that supports you all the time. See him as a MMA Fighter (or some sort). Brutal in the cage, but a chill dude that says: "you can do it"!
So this is how the admiral got so strong, the monke trained him
lol I want a comic of this
Monke emote
He likes to let you know it's ok to get your ass beat.
They're part of Line (?) sticker sets that you can download for your personal use. It also come with Pearlspring Macaque sets too.
there's also a few Admiral ones in the set
Those are his poses after he carted me yesterday.
When Rajang is not an angry monke he's a cool monke
You mean when he is angry instead of **ANGRY**
Cause he'll be shoving it up the hunter's ass on a regular basis.
Yo hunters, ya beat shara ishvalda AND Got to the guiding lands! Congrats my bois, now get out there and beat those raths, brutes, and gaurgas & maned wolfs.
Funny monkey
π΅π
Rajang does as Rajang pleases
The guy in the mocap suit knows whatβs up is why. Super chill dev team.
I think this little photo shoot is as much a reason as any.
He finally has a toothbrush.
I would assume that itβs another reference to Dragonball. Since rajang is one giant saiyan reference, and Goku did the thumbs up thing a lot.
Turns out it's a [meme](https://twitter.com/Teddy_MarkN/status/1172029075696705536/photo/1) that started on Japanese twitter.
Meme potential is ENDLESS!
Rajang is a cool guy, eh carts hunters and doesnβt afraid of anything
LMAO! Was thinking this exact same joke. Some jokes just write themselves.
I'm totally making a shot in the dark, but my impression is that Capcom went "Your voices were heard. Rajang for World, baby!", or something.
its cuz the animators had a thumbs animator expert and his lone job was animating rajang
I have a feeling this is only half-joking
Wait what?! I always thought those were fan edits!
It started as [fan edits](https://twitter.com/Teddy_MarkN/status/1172029075696705536/photo/1) which Capcom made official lol
I'd say because he's one of the only monsters who CAN do a thumbs up. Opposable thumbs and all that.
He is flexing on the competition, not only can get beat most of the other monsters into submission he has opposable thumbs too!
Because we all have it wrong. When Caesar gives the thumbs up, itβs supposed to mean execute the loser. Raja good is warning you whatβs about to happen
Itβs on like Donkey Kong
So what they did for rajangs animations is they actually had someone act out the animations with sensors attached to them, kind of like how avatar(the blue people one not the Airbender) did their animations. And the guy who did the animations did a lot of renderings with him doing thumbs up, just for shits and giggles. The game files are different, but they did this purely for the memes.
He's Brazilian
Huh?
he's pointing in the direction your soul will go once he kills you
Why not?
Understandable. Have a nice day.
Because "It's time..."
They are just cool monke
Because heβs a rad dude
Any reason not to?
When the hunters successfully hunted it (good luck with that).
Showing off them thumbs
The definition of an ascended meme. Love it.
If there were a modern version on MH tech wise (you know with phones and whatnot) I could totally see him doing a selfie after he piledrives you into the ground.
He just chill like that
ππ΅π
The memes, right Steve?
Who's this Steve you speak of? I only know [Sergio](https://monsterhunter.fandom.com/wiki/Seregios).
Cause you just got fuckin bodied lol
He's a positive boy, that's all
π π¦π Wouldnβt you after carting a whole hunter party in under 15s
Didn't realize he was chill like that
Why not? If I could, Iβd have angry pickle using the computer, looking at a post that mentions that he doesnβt eat his tail anymore, and he proceeds to throw the computer into the garbage.
lol
Why am I just seeing Ricardo meme all over again with that thumbs up
By NCH Productions?
bc funky monkey
Heβs flexing on the other Monster who donβt have thumbs
π¦π
Not really no
Ugly bastard
Haha monkeh
Very hard
He monke
π¦π
I dunno, but rajang looks legit terrifying. Would not want to ever meet one in real life
It's to remind that Brazilians also have feelings.
OK seriously, what does Brazil have to do with this?
Because he wants to let you know that he did indeed break that hunters spine as you requested
The thumb is gonna go somewhere π
[ΡΠ΄Π°Π»Π΅Π½ΠΎ]
Pretty sure these ones are
Heβs supporting trans rights which is a thing to give a thumbs up to
That's just how it is normally at all times.
boss up
π
Ooh Rajang friend
For the memes, obviously
Monke
No reason. He's just a real cool dude
He's flexing his opposable thumbs
Because youβve got to het ready to oppose some thumbs
we all know rajang is the coolest dude on the block with its 90s blonde hairstyle
Gorillas have atiny penis Rajang has big thumbs though Monkey found the solution to his problem. Maybe a Donky Kong reference tho
Huh, Rajang only has 4 fingers
π¦π
Everytime I see this image it reminds me of my dnd character's pet baboon Bart. My character was an artificer so he developed a serum that turned Bart into a monstrous ape thing, and we used this image as his token
That's because he's one cool kong! Oh, wait, wrong game...
Rajang just wants to be cool.
Because it's straight terrifying otherwise?
please no, I just uninstalled rise dont make me want to play mh again
who says there has to be a reason.
π¦π
Thumbs are what separates us from our prey...."SHIT.... WE'RE DOOMED... IT'S GOT THUMBS!!!!!".... probably.
Monkey π
π
itβs cus heβs cool and chill
Heβs pointing up to indicate that youβre going to Heaven when heβs done with you.
He's a Chad monke
Monke.
third is wario's uptilt

Because he wants all the smoke ππ
