History Characters / KimbaTheWhiteLion

* BreakTheCutie: '''[[ThisIsSparta The. Entire. First. Episode.]]'''

** Also avoided entirely in the 2009 feature length TV special due to AlternateUniverse ; causing Kimba to be initially cowardly and severely lacking in survival skills to begin with.

* LeeroyJenkins

* RedOni: To Lyra.

* HeyItsThatVoice: In both the English dubs. In the original, he was voiced by BillieLouWatt, the same actress who played Anime/AstroBoy. In the 1989 dub, he was played by a young BradSwaile, which may be why he was prone to shouting [[DeathNote "I will be the GOD of the NEW WORLD!!!"]].

* WisePrince

* HeyItsThatVoice: In both the English dubs. In the original, he was voiced by BillieLouWatt, the same actress who played AstroBoy. In the 1989 dub, he was played by a young BradSwaile, which may be why he was prone to shouting [[DeathNote "I will be the GOD of the NEW WORLD!!!"]].

* DirtyOldMan

* FatBastard

** [[spoiler: Made worse in the movie. As it covers the second half of the manga, Lya/Lyre/Kitty's main role is to die. In the original this was heartbreaking and unexpected, without prior knowledge of the events though it comes off as "Mildly sad, but no big deal" as the uninitiated to the series' mythology know almost nothing about her.]]

* LawfulGood

* NeutralGood

* NeutralEvil

* WellDoneSonGuy

* KillerRabbit: See BadassAdorable entry.

* TheAtoner: Subverted '''hard''' in the manga. Just when he is about to give up hunting the animals, and retire for the sake of his daughter, he finally earns a crumb of sympathy from the audience... and then proceeds to lose it entirely as we learn what his job was before he became a safari hunter-- specifically that he was [[spoiler:an SS Officer posted in an internment camp]]. It stings worse when you find out the person blackmailing him, [[spoiler:is a former captive of said camp, who simply won't let him retire until he helps obtain the moonstones.]]

* ConvenientlyAnOrphan: [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]]; while being an orphan gives Kimba every excuse to go on fun and exicting adventures, he is also the new ruler of the jungle that his father that he never had and has a WellDoneSonGuy relationship once ruled. [[OrphansOrdeal The conflicts between Kimba's attempts to turn the jungle into a utopia, and Panja's older rules results in several headaches for the hero]].

* InvincibleHero / CanonSue: Averted in most versions (including the 60's dub). Kimba is portrayed as a pretty strong leader and fighter but [[HeroicBSOD struggles in believing in himself when others doubt him]], and sometimes his emotions and wild nature get the better of him despite his attempts to stay strong.

* IronWoobie: Both of his parents managed to die in the first episode when he was still a young cub...and yet he still manages to forge ahead and create a peaceful utopia.
