I am looking for the title of a children's book. I vaguely remember the story. It's fictional and adventurous.
It's about a boy, who shipwrecks and ends up on an uninhabited island filled with monkeys.
He learns to live there with the monkeys.

There was a monkey painted in green and brown on the sleeve.
As far as I can remember, the boy was the only human on the island.
The other living beings were the monkeys.

In the end, he leaves the island.
No clue about his family or where they were sailing from and to.

The author might be Japanese (I can't remember this 100% for sure).

My memory is quite vague about this book.
