Simba

Simba is the protagonist of Disney's 1994 animated feature film, The Lion King. He is the son of Mufasa, who was destined to rule the Pride Lands, as king. When Mufasa is killed in a wildebeest stampede, Simba is blamed for the tragedy and abandons his kingdom in guilt. He finds refuge in a jungle oasis with a meerkat named Timon and warthog named Pumbaa, but the Pride Lands fall to disarray during his absence. With the kingdom in peril, Simba is forced to confront his troubled past in order to reclaim his throne and restore balance to the "Circle of Life."

Upon entering adulthood, Simba marries his childhood best friend, Nala, and has two cubs named Kiara and Kion.
