He was voiced by Ryan O'Donohue as a cub and by Jason Marsden as an adult. Though Marsden did eventually reprise his role but as a cub in The Lion Guard.

Kovu has emerald green eyes, and his fur is brown maroon As a cub he has had a dark brown tuft of hair on his head. As an adult, his tuft grew into a mane which stops at the top of his chest.
Trivia[]
- Though he is categorized as pure good, he does not quite start this way at first. However, he and Scar ultimately turn out not to be so similar. Kovu decides he doesn’t want Simba to die, and it was not his fault that Nuka died, regardless of whether he was his brother or not. Both Zira and Nuka himself were responsible.
