Chifu

Chifu is an adult lion who is the king of the Back Lands and the mate of Wimbo and the father of Mozari and Ganda.

Chifu is tall, broad, and almost outrageously muscular, bearing powerful shoulders and a compact build. When standing next to his mate, wimbo, Chifu is noticeably taller and of a stronger build. He has a light tan  pelt, while his muzzle, paws and underbelly being a lighter shade. His upper eye shades are darker than his main pelt, though his lower eye shades are lighter, and his eyebrows are thick and dark. Chifu bears a thick mane of light brown that extends down to his middle chest, the tip of his tail matching it in color. He also has olive green eyes, a trait later seen in Mozari.
== Personality ==
Chifu is a strict, unsmiling lion, and he takes his job as king very seriously. He is determined that the pride survives, and he even helps his mate, Wimbo ensure that everyone is pulling their own weight. Though appearing as a strict lion, he does cares deeply for his friends and family. 
== History ==
=== Legends of the Lion Guard: Protectors of the Pride Lands ===
==== The Pride Land Games ====
Chifu attends the Pride Land Games. When Okereke hurts Bunga in the wrestling competition, he and Wimbo, along with Simba and Nala, surround him. Furious, Chifu demands an answer, and after receiving additional information regarding his bad sportsmanship from Makuu, asks if this is all true. Okereke confirms this, and Simba disqualifies the Back Lands team, handing over further punishment to the Back Lands monarchy. Chifu allows Mozari to give out the punishment, and his son bars Okereke from leaving Mirihi Forest and taking part in Lion Guard duties for three days, effective as soon as the Nyuma Pride returns to the Back Lands.
==== Team Play ====
Kion is glad that Makuu told Simba and Chifu of Okereke's actions during the Pride Land Games.
=== Legends of The Lion Guard: Battle for the Pride Lands ===
Anga mentions that she must return to the Back Lands, as Chifu will want her. Later, Anga again heads home, citing that Chifu and Wimbo will want her. Later, as part of the Back Lands delegation, Chifu arrives in the Pride Lands in order to hear urgent news from Simba, who wishes to have them escorted to Pride Rock. Kion and the Lion Guard take them to Pride Rock, and Simba leads then inside the den to discuss. Unbeknownst to them, Shupavu and Njano have reported their presence to Scar, who deems the news interesting. When Simba confesses that Scar has returned, the delegations are shocked and share glances with one another. Shortly afterward, Chifu gathers the Back Landers in Mirihi Forest, saying that there is urgent news and asking Anga if she'd like to share what she has learned. She reveals that Scar has been revived, and Chifu adds that they will train for battle and help the Pride Landers. Okereke scoffs that the Pride Lands Lion Guard can handle this on their own, but Chifu scolds him, reminding him that they are allied with the Pride Lands and they will help them.
When Scar commences his war on the Pride Lands, Chifu is one of the many animals gathered at the base of Pride Rock.
