Appearances[]
Mufasa: The Lion King[]
One day, Azibo and Shaju attacked Eshe. Mufasa leaped to her defense and threw Shaju onto the sharp point of a log, killing him. Realizing he was outnumbered, Azibo fled.
Upon Azibo's return to the Outsiders, Kiros questioned where his son was, and Azibo answered that a young lion had fought Shaju. Kiros pointed out that Azibo had survived, but he protested that he had been badly hurt. Rather than accepting Azibo's word, Kiros summoned Akua and Amara, who sniffed Azibo and determined that, though there had been others, only one had left blood on his mane. They then declared that Azibo had left Shaju to die. As recompense for his son's death, Kiros allowed his pride to kill Azibo.
Trivia[]
- Unlike other character names in The Lion King franchise, Azibo is not of Swahili origin but Bantu, and translates to "the Earth."
