A tiny update of the Recent history page: the original 1965 episodes are again aired on Cartoon Network Japan, Monday-Friday at 6:30 AM with repeats at 11:30 PM. This airing started on 11th December, and it should last until 19th February 2007. Note: After 1st January 2007 the episodes will be aired at 10:30 AM instead of 6:30 AM.


17th December 2006

I've finally updated the Kimba videogame story page with some new screenshots from and informations about the unreleased Kimba game for the Nintendo Famicom video game system.

Thanks to Swen Steffens, two new German sound clips have been added to the History pages. It is the Dschungel Freundschaftslied ("The jungle friendship song") from the german 1977 Kimba airing, and the opening theme of the german "Bou Bou" series (the 1966 "Leo" series with a different name) aired in 1991. Lyrics of the "Bou Bou" opening theme are also available.

On the Recent history page I've updated info about the airing of the original 1965 "Jungle Emperor" series that took place on CNJ from 7th August to 16th October, and I've added info about the new and current UK airing of Kimba. Kimba is now aired on Life TV (and Life Showcase), some sort of a replacement for the previous airing that took place on INI.
Several corrections related to the compatibility and appearance of pages in Internet Explorer and Firefox have been made to the History and to the Recent history pages.

New french DVD release has been announced. This is going to be the 3rd DVD box released by Declic Images, which will contain 26 french-dubbed episodes of 1966 "Leo" series. It will be released on 31st December 2006. This info has been added to the Recent history and to the DVD releases page.


30th July 2006

New and better looking pictures showing Kimba's story have been put on the home page. Along with that, the Original vs. 1993 Kimba page has been moved from the DVD releases page, and is now accessible from the entire website.

A new DVD has been added to the Recent history and to the DVD releases page - it is yet another french "Le Roi Leo" DVD release consisting of 2 DVD boxes containing all 52 episodes of the french-dubbed 1965 "Jungle Emperor" series, released by Declic Images.

Several minor corrections have been made to the History and to the Recent history pages (including the facts that the 1966 movie was awarded with the "Golden Lion" in Venice and that the first french "Le roi Leo" DVD release contains just the french-dubbed 1965 series).
On the Recent history page I've removed two airings of the Kimba series that finished in the meantime (in Germany on pay-TV Premiere, and in San Salvador on Agape TV Canal 8). I've also added that the two Jungle Emperor movies were shown in February and May on Cartoon Network Japan, and that an upcoming airing of the original 1965 "Jungle Emperor" series will also take place on CNJ starting 7th August.

One new website has been added to the Other merchandise page - it is White Lion Restorations. It has a brilliantly restored version of the very first Kimba episode titled "Little Kimba", along with the complete Leo the Lion series and two more Leo DVDs. All these episodes are uncut, complete, with material never seen before on DVD, and with crystal clear image and sound.


26th March 2006
50 new pictures from the episode "Legend of Hippo Valley" were added to the Episode pictures page.
Along with that, two new pictures (Kimba and Kitty and Kimba with Kitty and their friends) were added to the top of the home page.

New entry was added to the Episode titles page - New Adventures of Kimba the White Lion (1989 Kimba series).

2 new things were added to the History pages - info about previous airing of Kimba in Japan on TV Tokyo in 1992, and a new, updated version of the opening sequence of the 1993 Kimba series.
On Recent history page along with some minor corrections an info about an existing airing of Kimba on TV in the U.S. was added. These are the 1993 Kimba series, and they are aired on KTV-Kids and Teens Television.

Finally, a new page has been added to this website. In case you still have doubts and questions about which is the right Kimba video or DVD release that you should get (the 1966 or the 1993 one), this summary of all important facts about these two series (including the scans of the corresponding video and DVD releases) should be of great help for you.
