~Kitwana_Lion
Rawr! You've made it to Kitwana's FurAffinity Den!
From character and mascot interactions at Disney parks & NHL games, to the discovery of the Furry fandom through the videos of the awesome-pawsome Kijani Lion, and my own, humble beginnings of fursuiting & freelance mascotting myself, I have devoted myself to showcase the most magical side of our fandom and that is spreading joy to the general public, especially kids, by wearing a 6ft tall lion costume. It is my belief that a good public perception starts with us. A magical talent that we fursuiters have is to don a costume and transport a child for a brief moment into a bedtime story world of fantasy and make-believe, where their favorite animals come to life. Being able to make a child smile is one of the most rewarding aspects of fursuiting.
I am nowadays the owner of 3 adorable lion fursuits:
- Kitwana, my fursona of a male adolescent African Lion, born 02/2015, which started out as a fursuit built by bycats4cats and has been evolved into the current fursona with the suit built by Nick & Lacy of fursuiting.com, debuted in July 2019 at Anthrocon.
- Kato, an adult male African Lion, created in 2009. Previously owned and performed by kijanilion - taken over by me in 10/2015, which I consider a big honor being able to perform a character of my big role model, idol and good friend.
- Scar Yes, the Lion King baddie - built and formerly owned by SparkleKreations
Besides performing my characters, I am Tube-fed, a fan of lions, Disney, The Lion King and I love to collect toys in a wide variety, from TLK to dinosaurs, dolls and more! I reside in Switzerland, but can often be found on the other side of the pond as well.
Did my videos and photos inspire you? I'd love to hear, so I invite you to say hi at one of the upcoming conventions, follow me on my social media and subscribe to the growing YouTube video library, all listed below.

Kitwana Lion Nominated for 2021 Good Furry Award
3 years ago
https://youtu.be/ods9RP4R1HA
It has been brought to my attention that I've been nominated for the 2021 Good Furry Award, an annual award presented to either one person or a group, recognizing them for outstanding spirit in the anthropomorphic (Furry) community.
The winner is awarded a trophy and a $500 check. While I have no idea how I would deserve something like this, I have decided that in the unlikely event I'll win, I will be donating the entire amount to the Emerald City Critters - http://www.emeraldcitycritters.org - a Seattle-based charity fursuiting group, led by my good friend kijani_lion
My personal vote will go to Bret, aka Chise, for their outstanding work on the Moderna Covid 19 vaccine and their excellent communication job regarding vaccines and the pandemic on their Twitter at https://twitter.com/sailorrooscout
You have only one vote and a selection of 40 candidates. Voting is now open through May 31st and can be found - among a description of all nominees - here: https://www.askpapabear.com/2021-voting.html
Thank you for helping recognizing your favorite Furry for their positive vibes and efforts during these challenging times!
