Simba

Simba is a recurring character and summon in the Kingdom Hearts series. He is originally from Disney's "Lion King" series. He is voiced by Cam Clarke.

Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
In both the first game and Chain of Memories, Simba appears as a summon, using an attack called Proud Roar where Sora charges up Simba's Proud Roar and fires a powerful attack.

In Kingdom Hearts, his world was destroyed. However, his strong will kept his spirit alive and turned him into a Summon Gem, which is given to Sora by Leon after he tells him about the hearts of worlds and gives him his "lucky charm". After bringing it to Fairy Godmother, she recognizes it as a Summon Gem and immediately restores it's spiritual form, making him able to assist Sora in battles. After stopping Ansem (Xehanort's Heartless), Simba's true form was restored and he returned to his world.

In Chain of Memories he's the first Summon Card you get, given to Sora by Leon after finishing his tutorial.

Kingdom Hearts II
In Kingdom Hearts II, he is surprised to see Sora, Donald and Goofy in the Pride Lands. He is more surprised that the three look very different from when he last saw them (as they are in animal form). He is more amazed to find out that they are with Nala. Sora, Goofy, Donald and Nala attempt to convince Simba to return to the Pride Lands to overthrow Scar, but Simba resists until he meets the spirit of his father, Mufasa, thus rebuilding his confidence. He returns to find that Scar's hatred has turned himself into a Heartless. After a battle on the top of Pride Rock, Scar is defeated, and driving the hyenas out, Simba takes his rightful place as king.

However, the appearance of Scar's ghost causes Simba to have doubts, which makes other lions question his abilities. With Sora's help he is able to overcome these fears and become the King he was meant to be.

When figthing, Simba uses his claws and bites to wound the enemy, and, like Tarzan, can cure using herbs and animal knowledge. He's an agility-focused figther, but with a good strength and defense.
