Ono (The Lion Guard)

"Hapana"

- Ono's Catchphrase

Ono is one of the main characters in the 2015 TV film The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar and it's 2016 follow-up series The Lion Guard, based on the 1994 film The Lion King. He is a young egret and along with his friends Kion, Bunga, Fuli and Beshte form The Lion Guard to protect The Pride Lands from threats such as hyenas.

He is voiced by Atticus Shaffer.

The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar
When Bunga and Kion race through the Pride Lands playing Baobab Ball, they encounter Ono, who along with his flock, flits fearfully out of their way.

Later, after Kion learns that he is to lead the Lion Guard, he appoints Beshte, Fuli, and Ono to positions on the Guard. He gathers the team together and attempts to show them the Roar of the Elders, but all that comes out is a squeak. Just then, Kion's father Simba arrives and reacts in horror to Kion's choice of teammates. He insists that the Guard must be made of lions only and then berates Kion for treating his role as leader like a game.

Not long after this, the team learns that the hyenas are attacking a herd of gazelles which have cause a stampede, trapping Kion's older sister Kiara. With no time to lose, Kion assembles the Lion Guard, using his paw to gift each of them with a special shoulder marking.

Together, the five friends attack the hyenas, driving them back into the Outlands. Kion finishes the fight with the powerful Roar of the Elders, and even the hyenas' leader Janja flees in terror. Simba happens to be watching from a nearby ridge and realizes that his son was wise to have chosen who he chose. He congratulates his son on the victory and accepts this new, brilliant assembling of loyal animals.

The Lion Guard
Set after the film, Ono continues serving in The Lion Guard alongside Kion, Bunga, Fuli and Beshte and continues battling Janja and his clan, through also comes up against other villainous animals such as the new crocodile leader Makuu (who has since reformed) and a pack of jackals led by Reirei.

Though Kion is the protagonist, Ono is sometimes the focus of certain episodes.
