History
Kito was born to his parents some months before Simba’s return. Kito had to spend a lot of time, forced, with his father. After Scar’s death, Kito started to spend quality time with his mother and the other cubs, learning the truth of his father. Sarabi dies sometime before Kiara is born, and Kito is taken in by Simba and Nala.

Kito was devoted to protect his younger adoptive sister, and also becomes quick friends with Timon and Pumbaa. Kito and Kiara go adventuring, when they see the Outlands. Kito is hesitant to go, and tries to warn Kiara, however, Timon and Pumbaa appear. Kiara runs off, Kito following her sneakily. When he sees her with Kovu, he rushes back to tell Simba. Kiara is taken home. Kito then decides to spend time with the other teens, and becomes to gain a crush on Simuria.

Finally, the two are talking when they see a fire. Worried, Kito runs to see if anyone’s stuck in it. He gets caught by the smoke when he sees Kiara and passes out, but is carried out by Simuria. Thanking her, the two head back home, where they learn about Kovu. They ignore him for a while, opting to hang out with Timon and Pumbaa, and finally, almost get scared to death by the lion. The two get to know him, and decides he’s not so bad. Afterwards, Kito and Simuria confess their love. Some time passes, and Kovu is blamed for the attack on Simba. The two are heartbroken for their friend. Afterwards, the Outlanders attack the Pride Lands. The two assist in the fight. Finally, Kito grabs onto the edge of a cliff. He gets caught by Simuria, but she isn’t strong enough to pull him up. They let go, but then Kito is grabbed by someone else. The spirit of his mother! The two look each other in the eyes gladly, then Sarabi leaves. He heads back to Pride Rock.
