Template:DisneyChar Kopa is a fictional lion character in Disney's The Lion King universe. According to a set of books titled The Lion King: Six New Adventures he is the son of King Simba and Queen Nala. The word kopa has multiple meanings in Swahili.
Although in the books, Kopa is the cub presented at the end of The Lion King, his existence has been retconned by the release of The Lion King II: Simba's Pride. In the film, Kiara is the only child of Simba, and is presented in a ceremony different than the one at the first film's final moments. This suggests that Kopa died or disappeared before Kiara's birth. The most believed fan theory is that he was murdered by Zira, a lioness with loyal to Scar, being that the main reason why she and her pride where banished to the Outlands. That theory explains why Simba hates Zira and why he is so over-protective to Kiara.
The Lion King: Six New Adventures
In the book series, Kopa is featured prominently in Vulture Shock. He also had minor roles in other books of the set. According to the illustrations, he looks almost exactly like Simba as a cub, except for a small tuft of brown fur on his head. He is described as loving to hear stories.
In Vulture Shock, Kopa wanted to find his family tree so he asked Simba to take him to it. Simba was busy and Kopa decided he'd find it by himself. After he found a lizard and chased it he ended up in a dry, barren land. He couldn't find a way back so he curled up and fell asleep. In the morning he was found by two vultures who took him for ransom. They kept him prisoner high up in a tree. He was later found by the Buzzard Boyz, a group of rapping vultures. They befriended Kopa and brought Simba and Nala to him. Kopa was then rescued.
In A Tale of Two Brothers, Rafiki tells the backstory of Mufasa and Scar to Kopa, and teaches him that we shouldn't be jealous of others.
In How True, Zazu?, Zazu tells Kopa about his life when he was young and how he became the King's majordomo.
