Mufasa

Mufasa is Simbas father who was king of the Pride Lands. Mufasa taught Simba how past kings lived in the stars. His voiced is achieved through archived audio of his original voice actor, James Earl Jones

Kingdom Hearts II
Mufasa came to Wildebeest Gorge to save Simba from being crushed by stampeding wildebeests. Although he saved Simba, he had to climb a cliff to exit the gorge. When he got to the top, he was tossed off the cliff by his own brother, Scar. He then fell off the cliff and was crushed by the stampede. After his death, Scar convinced Simba to run away and never return and took control of the Pride Lands as its new king.

Later, he appeared to Simba as a spirit to enlighten Simba's courage to take his role as Pride Lands' new king by usurping Scar's leadership.

It is his spirit (in the form of a star) that gives Sora access to a new pathway.
