Osamu Tezuka credited seeing Princess Iron Fan when he was 13 as part of his inspiration to become a cartoonist and animator (when it was shown in Japan, with the obviously anti-Japanese parts taken out). Alakazam the Great is based off of Tezuka's manga My Son Goku, which is based off of the Monkey King Legend just like Princess Iron Fan.
