My Lion King Forum

Listen...i have acouple questions about Kopa????? (Please dont kill me for there questions im about to ask)

1.Whats Kopa's REAL story? (i keep seeing different story's about him and idk which is real)

2.Does Kopa die?

3. If so...How?

Please and thank you

Hmm everyone has their own opinions on how Kopa's life was. I would suggest locking the topic. It might start a fight.
On the other hand, I belive that Kopa died from Zira and that's why they were banished. Also about Kopa's life, I would read The Lion King: Six New Adventures. It's about Kopa.

In The Lion King: Six New Adventures, he is Simba's only cub. He gets into trouble every now and then, but mostly, he listens to stories told to him by the other characters. There are also a couple of German audio plays ("Friends for Life" and "Fight for the Throne") that describe how Kopa makes friends with a hyena pup and helps his father win back his throne after a cheetah takes it over (with the help of some manipulative hyenas). He seems to grow older during the course of the second story (I'd think a lion cub would be at least a "teen" after three months), but it's never made clear.

In the official stories, no. In fan fiction, however, there are many theories explaining how he might have died or disappeared. The most popular one is that he was killed by Zira before TLK2: Simba's Pride, but this is only a theory. Since the events and characters in TLK6NA conflict with the events of SP so much, I tend to consider them two separate entities.


By the way, here's one place where you can read TLK6NA (there are links on the left side of the screen).

No worries about the questions. Even those who have been Lion King fans for years have never heard of Kopa.

Kopa was Simba and Nala's only cub from The Lion King Six New Adventure books. I think he may originally have been intended to be a extended character on that we see from the presentation at the end (the cub titled ''Fluffy''). In fanfiction, I think there was a cub named Tanabi that people tend to associate more as being Simba's son than that of Kopa. So when Simba's Pride was released, poor Kopa faded into a state of oblivion thus Kiara is the official canon daughter of Simba and Nala.

Hmm, interesting question. In truth. No, he just disappears from records (so to speak) as I mentioned before as soon as Simba's Pride was released and there was no Kopa or Chaka (from the original storyline of Simba having two cubs) but Kiara.

However, this does not prevent many fans from making up theories about what happpened to him. Actually I quite like all theories but personally and going from the story that makes sense as to why the outlanders were exiled, my belief is that Kopa was killed by Zira who tried to pave her way to the throne. However, that backfired on her and she and the other outlanders were exiled. Sort of barbaric as I would have loved it if Kopa had survived...and lived but in canon it's only Kiara who is the cub...and future Queen of the Pridelands so it has to somehow make sense if canon isn't to be mixed up.


I hope this has helped number1kovufan.

Thanx alot Deeri...It helped alot.


and btw i noticed u were new so...welcome

No problem and thank you for the welcome.

1.Whats Kopa's REAL story? (i keep seeing different story's about him and idk which is real)

Kopa is Simba's son in "the Lion King: Six New Adventures" He does not appear in any other Disney materials than these six books.

2.Does Kopa die?

In Six New Adventures, Kopa doesn't die. Some fans made stories and pictures about Kopa dying, but that's their own fantasy, based on the fact that Kopa didn't appear in Simba's Pride.

I don't think he died. I think that he was still alive and everyone just THOUGHT he was dead. (Like Simba for example.)
