Bio
Kazumi (or Kaz as he's often called) is a young lion and former member of the Kuraudo'asu Pride. He sports a green mane, tawny fur, and is forever burdened by his cub spots. Despite his rough and tumble appearance, Kaz is quite generous and understanding. He would never take advantage of anyone for his own personal gains and believes in helping others when needed. Even so, Kaz is quite the daring lion cub that will rise up to any challenge to show he's not one to be pushed around.
As a mostly grown adult, Kaz has a brief run in with an "in season" lioness, named Vumbi, while trekking through a neighboring pride's territory and suddenly found himself the father of three cubs. Because mating with a rogue lion is considered high treason in most prides, Vumbi decides to join Kaz instead of returning home and becomes his mate.

Background
Even though he's young, Kaz has already had a tough life. When Kaz was a cub, his father and leader of the pride was overthrown by a rogue group of three males. As custom, when a pride changes rule, all male cubs from the previous hierarchy are to be killed. Kaz, along with his older adolescent brother Enu and best friend Nkiruka were marked to die by claw and tooth.
Kaz, Enu, and Nkiruka, even though under impossible odds, decide to fight for their families in hopes of keeping everyone together. The two cubs stand their ground against the rogue males but are quickly overwhelmed. Kaz is somehow able to escape with only a few scars across his pelt but Nkiruka and Enu aren't as lucky.
As the last remaining male cub of his father's rule and now unable to return to his mother, he'll have to somehow manage to live on his own. Kaz is forced to live life as a loner and catch crickets for food until he's older and strong enough to catch bigger prey. Fortunately, he does survive and grows into a handsome young male searching for his own pride to lead.
As a young adolescent, Kazumi meets a lioness named Vumbi with passing through a neighboring territory. The two of them instantly form a friendship and begin meeting each other on a regular basis even. Before long, Kaz finds out that Vumbi is expecting cubs. At first, this sets Kaz into a frenzy. A normal male lion would wait until they'd settled down within their own pride...or at least until their mane had fully grown in. Kazumi had waited for neither of these. He became as father at a very young age when Vumbi gave birth to 3 cubs, Tenga, Eniki, and Aibu. This was the start of Kaz's own pride, even though Kaz denied the fact at first.
Eventually, as Kaz's full mane grew in, he slowly accepted responsibility over Vumbi and her cubs and the five of them went off o start their own life as a a happy family.
