I knew about Shaka beforehand, as well as the Zulu in general. I've only ever seen Sun Wukong mentioned here and I didn't even remember what he was until he was brought up again recently. I'm only one person though, so not an ideal sample size, but ye.

Also, with more obscure characters, sometimes they're less obscure, not because of the character themself, but how easy they are to grasp personality/style-wise. Without knowing Shaka, you could see he was "some tribal African warrior dude". I'm not sure if the same can be said about Monkey King man.
