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 in the Lion King 2?

Nothing happened to him. He doesn't exist in The Lion King movie series but only in The Lion King: Six New Adventures. It is official by the first film's makers that the cub at the end of the first film is not Kopa. It wasn't given a gender or a real name in its own film as they say this on the commentary track on the DVD. And this results in its only official gender and name being the girl Kiara from the only official movie sequel. Thus, nothing happens to Kopa as he never existed in the movie universe.


Does kiara have any sisters in the Lion King?

Canonically, Kiara doesn't have a brother in The Lion King II. Kopa would be considered Kiara's brother, but he doesn't appear or is directly mentioned in the film as he only exists in The Lion King: Six New Adventures and is never spoken of again.


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.


Is Disney going to make Kopa a real character?

Likely not. If they were interested in Kopa like that, they would've made him an official character with the first sequel, The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride. But they didn't. The reason for that is likely the fact that Kopa is not even created by Disney's people but by a childrens' book author who writes for several companies and Kopa only got Disney's stamp of approval on himself but so did many other fanfiction books. Thus they likely have no interest in using him in their own creared stories. So no, the likeliness is Disney will not make Kopa their real character.

Who is Kopa from the Lion King?

Kopa is not an official The Lion King movie character but a fanfiction character, who in a few profit fanfiction books, is Simba and Nala's son. He is only fanfiction and not official because he was created by people who don't belong to the Walt Disney Company and the film's makers denied Kopa's existence in the movie universe, in the 1995 Laserdisc and the 2003 DVD release, on their commentary track. On the track they reveal th cub at the end was never intented to have any gender and it's nicknamed "Fluffy". Resulting in that Kopa exists only in a few books in the book universe of The Lion King and was created by outsiders.


Is Disney going to make Kopa a real character?

Likely not. If they were interested in Kopa like that, they would've made him an official character with the first sequel, The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride. But they didn't.

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.


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.
