Kopa doesn't exist in canon as is evident from the film makers's commentary track on the DVD. He is only in the fanfiction children books, and even in them, Simba doesn't banish him. Nothing fatal happens to Kopa in those books.

Because he is not an official character made by Disney but only made up by fans, who got their fanfiction childrens' book series to become profit among many others whose storybooks' contents contradict the books where Kopa is. Disney ignored them and thus Kopa's character when continuing the official story which is the movies. Also, the cub in the end was never intented to be Kopa while making the film or at any point afterwards, which is evident from the commentary track of the DVD release wherein the film makers call it "Fluffy" and do not give it a gender. In its own movie the cub remains genderless with no real name but the most official identity to it is the girl Kiara from the only official movie sequel which makes no references to siblings for Kiara. In short; Kopa was never intented into the movies and he was officialy ignored by all film makers, because he was written by fans into the book universe only.

In "The Lion King II: Simba's Pride," Simba's young daughter, Kiara, meets a fellow young lion cub named Kovu. Kovu is the son of Zira, Scar's widow. Simba knows this when the two cubs meet, so Simba tries to keep them apart. Zira is filled with anger about Simba killing Scar, and Simba knows that Zira would try anything to get at him, even if it meant using Kovu to get to Kiara.

Is there six new adventures movie lion king?

There is no movie about Six New Adventures. But immediately after the original Lion King movie, Disney came out with a book series called "The Lion King: Six New Adventures." In each book, Simba tells a story to his young son, Kopa, about adventures in the Pridelands. Simba hopes Kopa will learn a lesson from these stories.


What are the characters in the Lion King?

Mohatu Ahadi Uru Taka(Scar) Sarabi Simba Cub Nala Cub Simba Kiara Kovu Timon Pumbaa Kopa Vitani


Is kopa from the Lion King real?

Great question! I think even Walt Disney animation studios themselves are undecided about this. The small cub we see at the end of The Lion King looks very different from the cub we see at the beginning of The Lion King II. Disney came out with a book series called "The Lion King: Six New Adventures" almost immediately after the first movie. In those books, Simba tells a series of stories to his son, Kopa. But when The Lion King II came out, and Simba had a daughter instead, fans wanted to know-- what happened to Kopa? Disney has never come up with an official explanation other than the fact that they decided to go a different direction and give Simba a daughter. So is Kopa real? I don't think anyone really knows. ;-)


Who is kopa?

Kopa is the son of Simba and Nala who first appears in a novel series, The Lion King: Six New Adventures. However, he does not exist in the movie universe when the filmmakers on the audio commentary heard on the DVD and Blu-Ray releases named the cub seen at the end the unisex name, "Fluffy". In the official sequel, The Lion King II: Simba's Pride, Kopa's existence is never mentioned, and "Fluffy" was created into a daughter named Kiara.


What was Simba's mate in the Lion King?

In the Disney movie The Lion King, Simba falls in love with Nala. She was his childhood friend. Several people told them when they were young that it was tradition for them to get married, but neither of them liked this idea very much. Until they grew up, that is. :)

Do Vitani and Kopa have a cub?

Only in fanfiction do Kopa and Vitani have cub(s). Their names are highly dependent on the fanfiction writer's choice. In the films, they do not have any cub(s) since Kopa does not exist in The Lion King movie universe as the filmmakers on the audio commentary stated the cub seen at the end of the first film was named "Fluffy", and was renamed Kiara in The Lion King II: Simba's Pride.
