Well, maybe they named him for a feature. What if Scar was born with his scar? My friend was born with a really bad one over her eye and was blind in that eye. After all, "Simba" simply is the word for "Lion."

Isn't "Taka" the fan-made name for Scar? I like it, but I thought I heard somewhere that fans made it up, like the Kopa character.

I think so too, Scar has a fan-created (or third-party created) backstory. I think they also released a few books about young Mufasa and Scar.

Read the "Chronicles of the Pride Lands" series, books 1-4. 1 - "Legacy of Ahadi" is story of Mufasa's and Taka's life (it ends with death of Saraby, sry for spoiler), 2 - "The Spirit Quest" is story of Rafiki's life (includes Taka's and Muffy's stories), 3 - "Shadow of Makei" - dark spirit side of CotPL, includes hyenas, Taka's and Simba's stories. 4 - "Under the Acacias" isn't really about Taka, it's about Uzuri (hunt mistress in Pride Lands since Ahadi and til Simba's son reign). Also, you can read all 8 books (5th is really interesting, as 7th and 8th are, 6th is just about "what if Taka didn't had that scar and wasn't mean)

Yeah, it didn't exactly sound like Disney to make a good name and then use one like "Scar" in the movie, you know? Scar would be a good nickname, but everyone called him that, even when he was king. The Taka name is cool, though.

I agree,he wasn't always evil.Some would even say that he was possessed by some kind of evil spirit at some point,which turned him into "Scar".

I'm pretty sure it's also because he had a bad youth.This made him emotionally weak.

It is well recognized Mufasa and Scar. This is an interesting idea to have met the two brothers.
