Leo the Lion (新ジャングル大帝 進めレオ! Shin Janguru Taitei: Susume Leo! New Jungle Emperor: Move Ahead Leo!) is a sequel to the Japanese-American co-produced series Jungle Emperor or Kimba the White Lion. Osamu Tezuka had always wanted his story of Kimba to follow Kimba’s entire life and the Jungle Emperor/Kimba series was such a hit in Japan that Dr. Tezuka produced a sequel without his American partners in 1966.Making the series without a co-producer gave him complete creative control.
