Timon of the Barokoweets Family is a minor protagonist in the Kingdom Hearts Unlimited Saga, first appearing in "The Journey" for a cameo role before making his full debut in "An Empire of Dreams", where his backstory and full impact on Simba's life are revealed.
He and his life-long friend Pumbaa raised the young prince Simba during the cub's exile from the Pride Lands for many years, living a carefree life until the kingdom's princess Nala found Simba and tried to convince him to go back to the Pride Lands with her. With the help of Mickey Mouse and his Highwind Crew, Timon pulls together his courage to help fight Scar's hyena army while also learning his own lesson on what true friendship means to him.
Timon lives by the motto Hakuna Matata, which means no worries in Swahili, which was taught to him by the old sage Rafiki.
