== Appearance ==
Kovu is a reddish-brown lion cub with green eyes and the start of a brown mane. His underbelly is grey. 
== Personality ==
When Mkuu meets Kovu, Kovu is seen to be protective of the three hyenas as well as reckless, often walking on crumbling surfaces. He is later seen as gentle when he warms up to the teenager. When he meets his adopted father after ages, Kovu is seen as brave and fierce. 
== History ==
Kovu was born to an unnamed lion and lioness who were part of the Pride Landers. Sometime before the events of The Grey Pride, Kovu was kidnapped by Scar and became his heir. When the Pride Landers and Scar left the Pride Lands, they abandoned the Outlanders. Zira, Nuka and Vitani died during this time and Kovu headed to the Pride Lands. He met Shenzi, Banzai and Ed, who were wanting to plot revenge on Scar for leaving them behind. Kovu promised to help them and started to live with them. 
Kovu later encounters a teenage lion called Mkuu and the two instantly get along. Mkuu was the son of Scar and Sarabi. Kovu shows him to the Pride Lands, where he meets the hyenas, and after they tell him about what happened, Mkuu starts plotting against his father, and restoring the Pride Lands.  
Banzai comes back one day with an adult lioness, Nala. They decide to plot together, when Shenzi comes, saying Scar is back. Putting the plan in action, all of them attack and beat Scar, though Mkuu and Kovu are injured badly, and could die. Mkuu gives the last of the healing water they have to Kovu, before dying. 
Kovu feels deep regret about losing his friend and brother, and was adopted by Sarabi. The three hyenas were also invited to join the Grey Pride. Kovu only comes along to look for his real parents though.
