 * Asante: "Kopa, wait! I have changed my mind! Do you still want me to meet your parents?"
 * —Asante and Kopa

Unlike the other hyenas who appear in The Lion King, Asante is good and kind-hearted.

She is very open and friendly, as well as outgoing and spunky. She is also considerably brave and loyal, as she rushes to Kopa's aid when he is in trouble. The two are inseparable, despite the gap between their species. Asante's good intentions and tender heart set her apart as the sole hyena who serves as a friend of Simba's pride.

He is also the first of his friends that Kion needs some space, even beating Bunga, Kion's best friend, to realizing what the cub needs. For an animal so large and full of life, Beshte has an appropriately large heart and never fails to treat his friends with kindness.

Appearance
Fuli is a cheetah cub with smooth features and a lithe build. Her coat is of a vivid golden-yellow pigment, broken only by patches of tan on her chest and muzzle, and around her eyes. Dark spots that look more like jaguar rosettes than normal cheetah spots dot her back, head, and legs, some of which are hollow and centered with gold while others are fully brown. The fact that some look like stripes and complete circles insinuates that she is actually a king cheetah. Notably, she is missing the streaks under her eyes that would be seen on an actual cheetah. She has a brown nose and pale paws. Her claws are silver.

Fuli has large emerald-green eyes and black eyebrows. Her legs are long and her ears are pointed.

Janja
Janja is a male hyena who serves as the main antagonist of The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar and a recurring antagonist in its follow-up series The Lion Guard. He is the leader of a clan of hyenas that resides in the Outlands



Appearance
Janja is an ashen-gray hyena with a lighter underbelly and darker spots along his back. His mane is spiked back, and there is a notch in his left ear. Unlike his clan, whose tails are all black, the underside of Janja's tail is gray. Janja and the rest of his clan don't appear to be fully grown, as they are only slightly bigger than a lion cub.

Personality
Like his hyena ancestors before him, Janja is a greedy and selfish leader with no regard for the Circle of Life. His unabated hunger drives him to extreme measures, as he is willing to stand against Simba and the Lion Guard, and his ruthless nature shines through in even everyday interactions.

Janja is unforgiving to his minions and mercilessly mocks them in front of the clan, refusing to believe their excuses and stories. This is likely because his minions are not his friends; they are simply a means to an end, for Janja is crafty and uses his clan mates to do his dirty work for him.

Janja's intelligence is undeniable. Surrounded on all sides by witless hyenas, he stands out as the one clever member of the clan, utilizing his allies to take down the Circle of Life. Under Janja's guidance, the hyenas prove a great threat, especially since they are often swayed to his side through his natural charisma and cunning. Janja will ensure that the clan's goals always align with his own.

Despite his ruthless ambition and sharp intellect, Janja is a coward when the odds are no longer in his favor, and he is known to promptly turn tail and run when faced with a fair fight.

Voice Actors

 * The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar - (2015) - (film) - Andrew Kishino
 * The Lion Guard - (2016–) - (TV series) - Andrew Kishino

Trivia

 * Although Janja is written as the leader of his clan, a hyena clan is realistically led by a female.
 * A teaser for The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar confirms that Janja's clan is descended from the hyenas of the original film.

Jasiri
Jasiri is a hyena who appears in The Lion Guard. She is a friend of Kion's.

Appearance
Jasiri's pelt is pale gray, with dark spots and stripes running along her back and shoulders, and her eyes are blue. A long black mane runs up her back, ending in bangs above her forehead. Like Janja, Jasiri has gray fur on the underside of her tail. Being only a cub, Jasiri is small in size, with a thin frame and slender legs. Especially in comparison to the much larger and beefier Janja, she is delicate and lithe, with an affinity for agility and speed. However, her strength is apparent in her fight with Janja's clan, where she demonstrates an array of powerful moves for a hyena of her size.

Personality
Unlike most devious Outlanders, Jasiri is friendly and open to making friends with lions. However, her tie to her species shines through in how often she laughs, for even Kion notes that the world is like a giant game to her. She's a little sarcastic. Bold and spunky, Jasiri is a hyena through-and-through, but unlike Janja, she is a friend to the Pridelanders.

Jasiri is able to look past differences and focus on where different species have common ground. Unlike Janja and his clan, she is disgusted by selfishness and gluttony, and respects the Circle of Life.

Trivia

 * Jasiri is similar to Asante, a female hyena cub from The Lion King German audio book Friends for Life who befriends Simba's son Kopa.
 * In Swahili, 'jasiri' means 'brave' or 'daring'.

 * The Lion Guard: A New Era

Kataka
Kataka is a meerkat who makes her first and only appearance in Falling in Love.

Appearance
Kataka has light brown fur, a mole on the right side of her face, and bright blue-green eyes. Like all meerkats, her stripes are darker than her main fur. She is said to be very beautiful.

Personality
Kataka is a more innocent character, victimized by the harsh predators that prowl her jungle home. She is a stickler for following the rules and somewhat of a homebody, unwilling to leave her colony even after falling deeply in love. Her loyalties are very deep-rooted, and she appreciates the family of meerkats that protects her, vowing her service to the members of her colony after they save her from a snake.

Despite her strong ties to family, Kataka is capable of forming bonds with outside meerkats, namely Timon, a lone meerkat who manages to steal her heart. Even though Kataka ultimately chooses family over true love, she vows to forever remember Timon by the heart-shaped stone he gives her as a goodbye present.

Kiara
Kiara is the main protagonist of The Lion King II: Simba's Pride. She is the daughter of Simba and Nala, Kopa's younger sister, Kion's older sister and the mate of Kovu.



Personality
As a cub, Kiara is curious and wild-hearted, constantly seeking new adventures and easily fraught at the sight of her safe nest back home in the Pride Lands. Her hunger for adventure often leads her to outright rebellion, as she continuously disobeys her parents, purposefully ignoring their better judgment in order to explore the Outlands and get answers to her unresolved questions. This deliberate disobedience echoes her father's mistakes in the first film, though Kiara does not show as much remorse as Simba once did, instead insisting on disobedience, a trait which carries into her young adult life. She also develops a sudden interest in Kovu, an Outlander cub. As a young adult, Kiara remains almost identical to her cub self in personality. Still wild at heart, she longs to escape her father's overprotective wing, proving herself to be even more determined than ever to gain independence. Her yearning to be free is so strong that she's willing to run away from the Pride Lands and endanger her life in order to prove that she is capable and strong. In doing so, Kiara often rejects the truth, wanting to make herself seem as though everything is in her control. This can be clearly seen when she's around Kovu, who is much more arrogant than she is.

Kiara is also very cheerful, always seeing the best in others and looking at the positive side of situations. She possesses a strong sense of justice, which is shown during her mate's trial, as she believed that Kovu was innocent and realized that the ambush was not his fault. She also possesses a fierce temper that she can usually keep under control, but in the event that if there is a false accusation, she will let it out, as portrayed when she angrily defies her father that he would never be her grandfather due to his severe arrogance. This in turn shows that she is willing to confront her own father in order to show her dedication to her values.

For a lioness so young, Kiara possesses a significant amount of bravery, as she jumps in front of a rage-driven Zira in order to prevent her from killing Simba. Her noble side shines through when she turns the other cheek and offers Zira help up the cliff side despite the risk that her enemy will pull her down into the river as a token of thanks. Once again, Simba is exposed to the mature teachings of his daughter, who is willing to endanger herself in order to bring her enemies to the light. Time and time again, Kiara proves herself to be selfless and almost unnaturally empathetic toward those who wish to do her harm. She also manages to convince her eventual mate Kovu to join her in reuniting the prides instead of running off as he'd proposed, showing that she would never abandon her family to death.

Appearance
As a cub, Kiara is small and soft-featured, less robust and stocky than her father but just as lithe and sleek as her mother. Kiara's pelt is of a more golden tone, like that of her father's, but it is tempered by the creamy hues of her mother. As a result, she isn't as rich a gold as her father or grandfather. Her muzzle, paws, and underbelly are all paler in color, while her tail tuft is creamy brown in color. Her eyes are red, it's assumed that she inherited them from her grandfather, Mufasa, whose eyes are also red.

Come young adulthood, Kiara has grown into a beautiful young lioness, though she remains small in size, only coming up to her father's chest and her mother's shoulder. She is easily dwarfed in size by Kovu, who is roughly the same age as she is, and proves to be one of the smallest, if not the smallest lioness in her pride. Despite this, she proves herself to be agile and swift, able to keep pace with a herd of topiand haul herself over the edge of a steep cliff during a fire. Unlike most Pride Landers, Kiara remains the same light shade from her cubhood, not darkening with age as her parents did, though this could be attributed to her not being a full-grown adult yet. From cubhood to young adulthood, Kiara remains the same as far as coloration goes.

Trivia

Kion
Kion is the main protagonist of ''The Lion Guard. ''He is the son of Simba and Nala, and the younger brother of Kiara. He serves as the the Pride Lands and the leader of the Lion Guard.

Appearance
Though quite similar in appearance to his father Simba, Kion bears a striking resemblance to his paternal grandfather,Mufasa. While Simba is more rounded in appearance, Kion is robust and block-like, with a square jaw and a pronounced chest.

From Simba, he inherited dark ear rims and orange-brown eyes. However, Kion's ear rims are black on the top and brown on the sides as opposed to young Simba's ear rims, which are black only on the sides. Kion bears spots on the backs of his legs and the mark of the Lion Guard on his left shoulder.As far as coloring goes, Kion possesses a pale golden pelt broken only by patches of lighter fur on his muzzle, paws, and underbelly. His fur is several shades lighter than his father's, being more like his sister Kiara's, though Kion's fur carries more yellow undertones as opposed to his sister's orange. This trait most likely comes from Nala, whose tawny color mixed with Simba's gold to result in a rich yellow.

Both Simba and Kion have or had a hair tuft, but Kion's tuft is much bushier, swept back, and bright red in color. His tail tuft matches his head tuft in color, being somewhat bushier than his father's, and his eye rims follow the usual pattern, with the top shade being darker than his main pelt, while the bottom shade is lighter than his main pelt.

Personality
Kion is described as one who "defies tradition", as he has assembled a guard that consists of creatures other  than lions. In this way, he is open to other species and willing to give underdogs a chance at making a difference. He also shows signs of being level-headed, such as being reluctant to enter the Outlands, possibly due to the danger of it or his father's rule about not entering it. He's also brave and cautious at the same time. In some ways he too shows the makings of a great ruler.

Unlike his father when he was a cub, Kion is a stickler for the rules, obedient even in the face of temptation. His responsible nature shines through in his willingness to negotiate before starting a fight, as he only uses his powers for good, unlike his evil great-uncle, Scar. Despite these more mature traits, Kion is still playful by nature and enjoys a good tussle with his best friend, Bunga. He can get a bit carried away when in the midst of playing, but he remembers his responsibilities first and foremost, caving to the instructions of his well-meaning parents.

Trivia

 * Kion is the second-born cub of Simba and Nala, after Kiara, who is his only official sibling.
 * Kion's catchphrase "Hevi kabisa!" means "Totally intense!" in Swahili.


 * During early development, Kion sported a paw print mark on his shoulder, as opposed to the finalized lion head.

Kovu
Kovu is the secondary deuteragonist of The Lion King II: Simba's Pride. He is the chosen heir of Scar who defies the Outsiders after falling in love with Kiara.

Appearance
Kovu is noted by many to bear a strong resemblance to Scar, especially after his face is scarred, despite not being related to him. However, he appears much more muscular and healthy-looking than Scar, and is a bit darker in coloring and has a dark brown mane instead of black. His mane is slightly less sleek and full, and he his eyes are emerald green.

Personality
Having grown up under the care of the scheming Zira, Kovu is aggressive and crude, even as a cub. Upon first meeting Kiara, his first reaction is to snarl a challenge, and the only game he appears to understand is play-fighting. His violent tendencies are reinforced by a knack for taking care of himself, as he is physically fit and an able hunter, two features that make way for his more arrogant and cocky side. Even as a cub, Kovu strives to please and takes no shame in showing off to the more innocent Kiara. However, when faced by his mother, Kovu is submissive and prone to showing his softer side, exposing a desire to befriend and treat kindly the new cub he has just met.

After meeting Kiara again as a young adult, Kovu begins to cave to his inner good, proving himself to enjoy laughter and good times. His dark side occasionally slips in, as seen when he can only pinpoint violent pictures among the stars, and his ties to Scar and his mother continuously bog him down. He does ultimately choose to betray his pride, revealing that even years of evil and violence cannot destroy the kindness in his heart. He becomes gentler with Kiara and more respectful of her, no longer mocking her for that which she cannot do. Having shown his good side, Kovu matures into a character who is always willing to do the right thing, even if it means disappointing those he loves.

Voice Actors

 * Ryan O'Donohue (cub; The Lion King II: Simba's Pride)


 * Jason Marsden (adult; The Lion King II: Simba's Pride, The Lion Guard)


 * Gene Miller (adult singing; The Lion King II: Simba's Pride)

Trivia

 * Kovu's name means "scar" in Swahili.


 * Kovu's mane was originally going to be slicker and black, and his eyes bright green to match his intended father, Scar. These were later changed, along with his relation to Scar.


 * There is a deleted scene in The Lion King II: Simba's Pride where Kovu first catches a bug, then allows it to fly away. Zira then kills the bug herself, angry at her son's mercy. This suggests that during his childhood Kovu was partly trained by killing animals weaker than himself, so as to get him used to kill when he gets older.

Nala: "I'll get up before dawn - before my mom gets up. And I'll look for that lion on the far side of Pride Rock." Kula: "You're nuts, crazed, psycho, unhinged! Do you hear me? Well, I guess I'll have to get up before dawn and stop you."
 * Kula: "Come on, Nala, don't be a lunatic. Maybe you're thinking crazy things because you're hungry. Yeah, maybe you're light-headed from hunger."

It's also hinted at by Nala that Kula is lazy, as Nala comments that Kula has never gotten up before dawn in her life.

Nala
Nala is the secondary deuteragonist of The Lion King, a secondary tritagonist of The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride, a minor character in The Lion King 1 1/2 and The Lion Guard: Return Of The Roar. She is the lifelong best friend of Simba, and later becomes his mate. Upon entering adulthood, she officially has two children with him, Kion and Kiara, in addition to a third, unofficial cub; Kopa.

Appearance
As a cub, Nala is small and lithe with soft features. Her fur is colored a light tawny, while her muzzle, paws, and underbelly are all paler in contrast. Unlike most cubs her age, her paws are colorless, and her eye rims are lighter than her main pelt. Her eyebrows are also much thinner than those of her fellow cub, Simba, and her inner ears and the tip of her tail are brown in color. Her eyes appear to be pale green, though they change to teal in certain light.

Come young adulthood, Nala looks almost identical to her mother Sarafina. Her body has filled out to become sleeker and stronger, fitting the physique of a practiced hunter. She also proves herself to be exceptionally strong, able to hold her own against the much larger Simba, even managing to pin him on his back. Her coloring remains much the same, not changing until she appears as an older adult in the sequel.

As a fully grown adult and as queen, Nala's colors have paled slightly, and her eyes have become bright blue. She has also grown somewhat larger and more filled out. To her daughter, she passed down her paler undertones.

Personality
As a cub, Nala is playful, spirited, and spunky. She and Simba are best friends. As cubs, the two were nearly inseparable. Unknown to them, they were betrothed at an early age, and both agreed that friends marrying each other was too weird once they discovered this fact.

As a young adult, Nala has matured into a determined and assertive young lioness. Simba remarks that her words remind him of his wise father's, albeit in a derogatory manner.

In the sequel, Nala has become much more mild-mannered and motherly. She acts as the voice of reason to Simba, who is now being very protective of Kiara, and reminds him that their daughter Kiara would be fine. She also is less judgmental than Simba, and is often able to persuade him to have more faith in their cubs.

History
As a cub, Nala played with her friend Simba, whom she was bethrothed to. When Scar proclaimed Simba to be dead, Nala was sorrowful and shed tears for her lost friend.

When she grew up, Nala left the Pride Lands to search for help and food, which had been running scarce ever since Scar took over. She discovered Pumbaa, a warthog, and pursued him. To her surprise, she encountered her old friend Simba. The two reuinted and fell in love during the song Can You Feel The Love Tonight. Afterwards, she returned to Pride Rock with Simba. Scar was defeated, and Simba took over the Pride Lands with Nala as his queen.

They had two cubs, Kion and Kiara. Nala was supportive of Kion when he became the leader of the Lion Guard. She has appeared during multiple episodes of The Lion Guard since. Kiara was saved by a lion named Kovu when she was an adult, and Nala convinced Simba to let Kovu join the pride. Nala was also present during the battle between the Outsiders and Pridelanders. She battled Vitani.

Trivia

 * Her name is of Tanzanian origin and means 'luck' and in African, means 'successful'. In Swahili, (an African language), it means 'gift' as a name.
 * In an earlier draft, Nala was supposed to be banished from Pride Rock after she rejected Scar's proposal to be his queen. However this is incorporated into the Broadway play The Lion King instead.
 * Nala's original name was Nadra.

 * The Lion Guard: A New Era

Pumbaa
Pumbaa is a male warhog who is Simba and Timon's best friend in the film The Lion King. He raises Simba with Timon's help and later goes back with Simba to live in the Pride Lands. He is voiced in the film by Ernie Sabella, and is one of the protagonists in all three films.

Appearance
Like most warthogs, Pumbaa is a red with black hair running down his back and large tusks.

Personality
Due to his friendly, loyal, and protective personality, Pumbaa is generally regarded as a very likable character. However, he displays childlike naivety which is sometimes confused for stupidity. He does, in fact, come up with some intelligent plans and insightful ideas, which Timon rapidly claims as his own.

Pumbaa is also kind and caring, as shown when he, unlike Timon, takes pity on Simba and is quick to offer his assistance to the young cub. In The Lion King II: Simba's Pride, he jumps into a rather shallow body of water to save a supposedly drowning Kiara and offers assistance to a badly injured Simba, carrying him all the way back to Pride Rock after an unexpected ambush with the Outsiders. In addition, Pumbaa appears to be polite to those who are friendly, as shown when he greets Nala right after Simba introduces him to her, despite the fact that Nala had tried to eat him a few minutes earlier. Notwithstanding, he expects respect from his enemies, which indicates when he attack Banzai after he is addressed on a "pig."

History
When he was a young warthog, Pumbaa struggled socially due to his flatulence troubles. However, he later met Timon, and the two became friends. One day, they encountered an exhausted lion cub named Simba. They brought him to the Jungle Oasis and taught him about "hakuna matata"("no worries"). They introduced Simba to a diet of insects and grubs, which he grew up on.

One day, Nala arrived in the jungle and chased a terrified Pumbaa. Timon tries to help Pumbaa, but ultimately it is Simba who comes to the rescue. However, Timon and Pumbaa are downhearted after Nala and Simba fall in love. Timon tells Pumbaa that Simba is doomed, and the two of them burst into tears.

They later accompany Simba back to Pride Rock, where they distract the hyenas so that Simba and Nala's presence would not be detected. Simba's evil uncle Scar is defeated, and Timon and Pumbaa stay with their pal in the Pride Lands.

Trivia

 * In the Timon & Pumbaa episode "Home is Where the Hog Is," it is revealed that Pumbaa's last name is Smith.
 * During the song, "Out There," in Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame, two men are seen carrying a dead warthog that resembles Pumbaa.

Reirei
Reirei, or Rairai, is a jackal who appears in The Lion Guard. She is the mate of Goigoi. She has multiple sons, most notably Dogo.

Appearance
Rairai is a tawny-brown jackal with black markings on her back and the top of her head. She has a paler muzzle, underbelly, and inner ears, as well as three creamy spots on her chest. Her eyes are olive green. She sports a pair of large, pointed ears.

Personality
Rairai is a clever jackal who likes getting her way and is skilled at doing so. She is willing to lie and deceive to get what she wants, and passes this lesson dwn to her young. She has been called a thief by Muhanga the aardvark.

History
Rairai has her son Dogo trick the Lion Guard into letting him into the Pride Lands. She and the rest of her family follow him and convince the Guard to allow them to stay. She sings Jackal Style with Dogo and his siblings. Mbuni and some other animals gather around her and her family with anger. Kion and his guard hear the noise and report there quickly. They attend Kupatana and the hunt starts, but the Lion Guard stops them and Simba orders them away.

Sarafina
Sarafina is a minor character from the The Lion King. She is the mother of Nala, the mother-in-law of Simba, a friend of Sarabi and the maternal grandmother of Kiara, Kopa, and Kion.

Appearance
Almost identical to her daughter in appearance, Sarafina is long-bodied and lithe with strong limbs and a groomed pelt. Her fur is tawny, while her muzzle, paws, and underbelly are all paler in color. The tip of her nose appears to be a shade paler than her main pelt, with both her upper and lower eye shades being light in color. Her paws are colorless, and her eyes are apple-green.

Personality
Though Sarafina's personality is not explored in the film, it is developed in books inspired by the film, which reveal her to be a protective mother with a good amount of sense and resourcefulness. She can be fairly easygoing with her daughter when times are good, but when danger runs rampant, Sarafina is sure to be guiding Nala to safety.

History
Sarafina first appeared grooming her daughter Nala. When Simba asked if Nala could come with him to the Watering Hole, Sarafina gave her permission.

Voice Actors

 * Zoe Leader (The Lion King)

Trivia

Simba
Simba is the main protagonist of The Lion King and the deuteragonist of The Lion King II: Simba's Pride, a supporting character in The Lion King 1½, The Lion Guard: Return Of The Roar, and The Lion Guard. He is the rightful king of the Pride Lands and the father of two children, Kion and Kiara, in addition to a third, unofficial cub; Kopa.

Appearance
Simba resembles both his parents in different ways. From Mufasa, he inherited his strong build and pelt coloration, as both lions are gold with red manes though Simba's mane is a paler dark vermilion. From his mother, Simba inherited ear rims (though he loses these when he reaches adulthood) and his general facial features, as they are noticeably less square than Mufasa's. Sarabi also lent him his orange eyes, as well as features common among Pridelanders. His nose is pink, unlike those of his parents.

Personality
As a cub, Simba was playful and always ready for an adventure with his best friend, Nala. He tried to see the best in everyone, even his uncle Scar. At times, he could be a show-off and arrogant, and boasted that he will be the greatest king ever, which often got himself and Nala into danger. In spite of this, he came to see the fault in his actions and always learned from his mistakes.

As an adolescent, Simba picks up a happy, carefree lifestyle, thinking nothing of his responsibilities back home. In addition, Simba's vocabulary changes moderately (as he now says "Father" instead of "Dad" and "Scar" instead of "Uncle Scar"). In the jungle, he develops somewhat grotesque habits, burping and eating bugs alongside his lazy companions. No longer the respected prince of the Pride Lands, Simba becomes sedentary and stubbornly refuting of his past life. Having been tainted in mind by his well-meaning friends, Simba no longer sees the need to help others and would rather lock himself away in bliss than face reality.

Despite his guilt-ridden conscience, Simba is forced into maturity when he has to face his past, holding himself accountable to the land he once swore to defend. Once accepting of his duties, he becomes a new character, stronger in will than before. Unlike the old Simba, who would rather avoid an argument, this new Simba does not tolerate being bullied and refuses to stand for abuse, being particularly defensive of his mother. When challenged, Simba becomes rough around the edges, determined to have his way and unwilling to stand for compromise. No longer an innocent cub, he is brave when he has to be, standing up for his land and his pride.

Once a full-grown adult and a father, Simba has matured to a new level, now totally fixated on his duties as a king and a father. For all his benevolence and inherent goodness, Simba is not without fault, as he is overprotective of his daughter Kiara, willing to break a promise to her in order to keep her safe. In this way, Simba shows that he does not fully respect his daughter, seeing himself as the older and wiser pride member. Thinking himself to know better, he often becomes blind to the outside world, focusing only on his family and their safety. In doing so, he comes to harm those around him. He also is protective over his son, Kion, even doubting his choices for the new Lion Guard.

History
Simba is born to the king Mufasa and his mate Sarabi in the Pride Lands. As a cub, he played with his friend Nala and received lessons from his father Mufasa about the Circle of Life and being a king. After his uncle Scar killed Mufasa, Scar told Simba to run away. Simba did, eventually arriving at the Jungle Oasis, where he met Timon and Pumbaa. They taught him about "hakuna matata", which means "no worries". He grew up in the jungle, eating bugs and singing about his worry-free life.

Eventually, Nala arrived in the jungle and chased Pumbaa. She encountered Simba, and the two reunited. They fell in love during the song Can You Feel the Love Tonight. Simba later returned to Pride Rock, where he defeated Scar and took his rightful place as king of the Pride Lands, with Nala at his side.

They had two cubs, Kion and Kiara. Kiara ventured off to the Outlands one day, where she met Kovu, an Outsider cub. After a tense encounter with Zira, both cubs were returned home. Simba was angry at first, but soon forgave Kiara. Kion became leader of the Lion Guard, and Simba was angry when he chose a cheetah, hippo, egret, and honey badger to be the other members. However, Simba soon came to accept the new Lion Guard after they successfilly thwarted Janja and his clan. He has since appeared in multiple episodes of The Lion Guard.

When Kiara, now an adult, was saved by Kovu, Simba was reluctant to let the former Outsider enter his pride. He was furious when it appeared that Kovu had betrayed him, and promptly exiled him. Shortly after, Zira invaded the Pride Lands with the Outsider lionesses. The Pridelanders fought back, resulting in the death of Zira. Simba then accepted Kovu, Vitani, and the rest of the Outsiders into his pride.

Later, Tojo creates wings to teach orphaned baby birds how to fly. In doing so, he bonds with the birds and creates his own set of wings, which shows that the Spirit had reason for Tojo's ailment after all.
