Name meaning: Little Lion in Japanese
Also Known as: The Young Narasima

Appearance
My biggest influence for the character's development is a Hindu god, Narasimha. He is a human-like creature, but he has lion ears and a tail. A loincloth is the only thing he wears for clothing. This is similar to the Hindu god, Inuyasha and Tarzan mixed together, but this appearance is how I describe how Narasimha would also looked like in my view instead of the actual design from the Hindus' belief. I wanted Kojishi to wear a loincloth, because I want his lifestyle to be natural and have an jungle appearance.
Home
Kojishi lives in a tropical rainforest world called Jungala (Jungala is a Sanskrit word for Jungle). Kojishi's world is similar to Narnia, but it's a rainforest with cultures from some countries like India, Japan, central and west Africa. It's a place where humans, animals and human-like creatures lived.
Personality
Kojishi is a fun lovin' playful boy who likes to play especially when he's in danger, but he also very gentle and friendly to his friends and other humans, creatures and animals.
Profile
Kojishi is the first and only Narasimha in Jungala. His birth was given to a lion, but he never knew and never had a chance to meet his parents cause he was raised by his human foster mother named Hiya (which means Heart in Hindu). Hiya believed Kojishi was abandoned or his parents were murder. The young Narasimha met a girl from the real world same age as himself named Kim or Kimmy her friends and family sometimes called her. He first met her she was coiled by a red snake.
After Jungla was created by a lion god named Nirhaven, a witch with a dark sari and snake skin along with her army of snakes, white tigers, spiders and hyenas spread violence and the Witch took over Jungala as queen. The Jungle nation never had a king or queen before in their life. She is called The Serpent Majo ( Majo means witch in Japanese). She had been making laws and brought slavery by sending her animal grads to kidnap children.
Kojishi heard stories about a human coming to Jungala from another world and destroying evil, he believed Kim and himself can defeat and overthrow the witch. Kim decided to help Kojishi and his duty to save Jungala from the witch.
Abilities
Every human-like creature who was given brith to an animal, must be trained with their animal parent. Kojishi was only raised by Hiya. Instead she ask her animal friends to trained him. He was trained by other lions to hunt, fight and roar. He learned to climb, cling and leap by monkeys and swimming was the only lesson he took from his human mother. Human- like creatures must be train for fighting, hunting and traveling.
Kojishi has a very strong night vision and scene of hearing when he hunts or attack. One of his weakness is sleeping for 20 hours (Lions can sleep up to 20 hours, but they are very active to get up), however his weakness only happens every once in a while.
Weapons
Kojishi's weapon is a staff called the Flaming Roar. Not only it used for hitting his enemies or defending himself, he can also shoot fire from the lion's head at the top of staff, the bottom is a spear blade.
