Kovu is the deuteragonist of the 1998 film The Lion King II: Simba's Pride, and a supporting character in its 2016 midquel series The Lion Guard.
He is the youngest son of Zira, the protégé and alleged heir of Scar, Nuka and Vitani's younger brother, Simba and Nala’s son-in-law, Mufasa, Sarabi and Sarafina’s grandson-in-law, Kiara's best friend and later, her mate and Kion's brother-in-law.
He was voiced by Ryan O'Donohue as a cub, and Jason Marsden (who also voices Haku, Max Goof, Danger Duck, Nermal, and Shere Khan) as an adolescent (Gene Miller, singing) in the movie. Marsden reprised the entire role in The Lion Guard (including replacing O'Donohue as his cub self).
As The Lion King II: Simba's Pride is loosely based on Romeo and Juliet, Kovu (due to being Kiara's love interest from a hostile family (The Outsiders) is based on Romeo.
Kovu has auburn fur and green eyes. As a cub, he had a dark brown tuft of hair on his head. As an adolescent, this tuft grows into a mane which stops at top of his chest. His most distinguishing feature is the scar over his left eye, which he got from Zira after she hit him in the face after blaming him for Nuka's death. His appearance is quite sim...
Early lifeKovu was born sometime near the end of Scar's reign over the Pride Lands to Zira and an unknown lion. He had an elder brother Nuka, and elder sister Vitani. At some point in Kovu's life, following his birth, he became Scar's protégé, and was designated as his heir.
Soon after, Scar's nephew and the rightful King of the Pride Lands Simba, returned to Pride Rock and challenged, battled, and defeated his uncle, and became King. Zira, accusing Simba for his uncle's murder (where in fact, Scar was killed by his hyena army after he tried to blame them for the death of his brother Mufasa), attempted to dispute Simba's reign by mentioning Kovu's position as Scar's heir. When Simba denied Kovu as the heir and said that Scar was never the true King, Zira struck out and fought Simba, before being defeated. Soon after, Simba had no choice but to exile Zira, her family and any other lion loyal to Scar from the Pride Lands, threatening to kill them should they return. As a result, Zira plotted revenge by training Kovu to avenge Scar and take back the throne. Kovu along with the other exiled lions moved to the Outlands and became known to as the Outsiders.
•Originally, Kovu was written as the son of Scar, so that he could have a claim to rule the pride. It was decided that Micheal Eisner, the former Disney CEO that Kovu shouldn’t be related to Scar due to the incestuous undertones his relationship with Kiara would have had. Many early drafts of the sequel had utilized this concept in various ways before it was ultimately cut.
•According to production notes of The Lion King II’s development, Kovu was an orphan who would have been the leader of his own “gang.” The second-in-command of his gang, a rouge elephant known as Brutus, would have served as the main antagonist of the sequel, allying with the hyenas of the Elephant Graveyard to force Kovu as a puppet ruler to kill Simba.
•In 1996 drafts, Kovu was an orphan, born and raised in exile by his aunt Bianca (an early iteration of Zira) after the death of Scar. Kovu would have fallen in love with Simba’s daughter Shani (an early iteration of Kiara), becoming her eventual groom, much to the anger of Bianca and her hyenas, (among them being Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed).
•In production notes, Kovu had a rival for Shani's effection, dubbed Lion X.
•The shooting script of Simba’s Pride, saw Kovu as the son of Zira and Scar, who would have seduced Aisha (a working name for Kiara) in order to get to Simba.
•In 1996 production notes for Simba’s Pride, Kovu’s father was named Regandi, the king of the distant pride territory whom Kovu was stolen from. Regandi had been cut from the story and in the final film, Zira and Kovu’s lineage is not disclosed as either biological or adoptive.
