** In the 1966 anime, Leo's adult form took a very drastic change. While he still retained some of his pacifist principles, he still engaged in violent battles with other animals and considered killing them an option, something his previous incarnation wouldn't under any circumstances. As a father, Leo went from BumblingDad to an emotionally abusive SinkOrSwimMentor who would often get chastised by his wife, Laiya.

As a father, Leo went from BumblingDad to an emotionally abusive SinkOrSwimMentor who would often get chastised by his wife, Laiya. The in-universe justification for such change is that their world was bad enough that his children would surely get killed if they weren't properly trained to survive in the jungle.

In the 1965 sequel series, she's frequently against some of her husbands questionable parenting methods between Rune and Lukio.
** In the 1989 series, she's more serious and gets much more involved in action as Kimba. She also gets easily emotional and is seen crying during dramatic and emotional situations.

* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Is hit with this very often.
** In the original manga, Leo was childish and obsessed with human culture. Much of his character arc is learning to let go of his obsession with humans and accepting his animal side. As an adult, he became somewhat prejudiced with humanity, while still retaining a childish and bumbling personality.
** In the 1965 anime adaptation, Leo became a strong and wise, albeit naive young king who tried to take the good aspects of human culture and implement them in his jungle, while advocating for peace and equality between all species. He also adopted a strong MartialPacifist personality, stopping the animals in his kingdom from fighting or eating the herbivore residents of his jungle, teaching them about the importance of every living creature's life. This incarnation of him became the basis for all future appearances.
** In the 1966 anime, Leo's adult form took a very drastic change. While he still retained some of his pacifist principles, he still engaged in violent battles with other animals and considered killing them an option, something his previous incarnation wouldn't under any circumstances. As a father, Leo went from BumblingDad to an emotionally abusive SinkOrSwimMentor who would often get chastised by his wife, Laiya.
** In the 1989 anime, Leo's interest in human culture all but vanished, and most of the series is focused on developing him as an ActualPacifist who advocates for peace and coexistence, while he fights against his own violent urges as a wild animal.
** In the 1997 movie, Leo was mostly based on his 1965 incarnation. As an adult, he was wise and graceful, rather than the BumblingDad he was in the original manga. He still retained some of his original incarnation's prejudice towards humanity, though this was mostly because they were invading his land and killing the residents of his jungle. He gets better by the end.
** In the 2009 movie, contrary to every other incarnation, Leo became cowardly and spoiled as a cub. This is {{justified}}, as the movie is set in an alternate universe where Leo didn't lose his parents at birth and was raised under their guard. Most of the movie is focused on developing him into the same strong leader he was in the previous incarnations.
