Beloved Kingby *Rinjapine

Fan Art / Cartoons & Comics / Traditional / Movies & TV

Mohatu: "Was Loved" [Gujarati]
Pride Affiliation: Royal Pride
Generation: 4
Voice Actor: Avery Brooks (Disney assigned)
Relations: Son to Jahleel, Kamaria; brother to Hatia, Rōkōsto; mate to Shari, Zakiya; father to [Aja], Uru

Mohatu is a King who is both revered and loved by his people for the great things he did for the kingdom, yet he has his cruel side, too. Taught by his father, Jahleel, that the kingdom's safety must always come before personal feelings, Mohatu does as he was instructed and kills his brother's mate and son once his own daughter, Uru, is born. He believes this will keep his brother from trying to usurp the throne. Mohatu never takes into account the fact that Rōkōsto loves him and would never harm Mohatu or Uru.

Mohatu bugged me. He looked lame. Much like Mufasa does. LAME. Maybe I'll do Mufasa too. I also edited his colors -- they bugged me too (ORIGINAL).

No one knows for sure what Mohatu's name means, but I found that if you separate his name into "Moh" and "Hatu", they mean "Love" and "Was" (respectively) in the Hindu language of Gujarati. This fits, as Mohatu was said to be the most beloved of all the Lion Kings. But only Disney knows for sure. If even THEY know...
