No, Fortinbras does as declared by Hamlet and Fortinbras. Fortinbras is on his way back from Poland and is expecting to see the king and say that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern were executed, but instead he sees everyone dead and says it is his right to be king. Fortinbras then orders a funeral for Hamlet.
Fortinbras uncle is the brother of Old Fortinbras (the father to the Fortinbras in the play), who was killed by Old Hamlet before the play begins. He, Fortinbras uncle, is the current ruler of Norway, and as such is often refered to as "Norway." In Shakespeare's text, all of the action involving this uncle happens off-stage, hence he is not a listed character.
Not exactly. Fortinbras is transporting his army to Poland. Hamlet enters as they pass and questions one of the soldiers in the army as to what is going on. But he doesn't actually talk to Fortinbras himself. Fortinbras leaves the stage as Hamlet comes on.
Hamlets said in his last words "but i do prophesy the election lights on Fortinbras, he has my dying voice." so that means Fortinbras was named.
Fortinbras was created in 1600.

Fortinbras takes over after the death of Hamlet, (and Claudius,) so in that sense Fortinbras was.

Hamlet and Fortinbras do not actually meet. Fortinbras has no grounds for saying that Hamlet might have been a "goodly king". Hamlet does encounter Fortinbras's army in Act 4 Scene 4 and, in some versions of the play at least, goes off on a soliloquy in which he wonders if he is a coward, and yet again vows to complete his revenge.

Fortinbras in Hamlet would most likely be is Simba. Prince Fortinbras is also a parallel to Prince Hamlet who Simba has a similar role to in The Lion King. Both Fortinbras and Simba mourn their father's death and seek revenge at any cost. Also, Fortinbras wants control of Denmark that his father lost to King Hamlet similar to Simba who wants to reclaim his homeland from Scar.
