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. Kopa's existence has been retconned by the release of Lion King 2.
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. Template:Endspoiler
References
kopa is never mentioned in the Lion King movies because Zira killed Kopa when he was a cub. Timon was babysitting Kopa when Zira came up and attacked. But Timon didn't go down without a fight. Now whenever you see Zira you'll notice her ear is wounded.
