Kutter is a recurring secondary antagonist in the Jungle Emperor/Kimba the White Lion franchise, acting as hunter Hamegg's sidekick in jungle poaching operations. His design features a bald head and prominent mustache. Personality-wise, he displays greed and a pronounced love for food while being marginally less stingy than Hamegg. His practical skills include proficient driving. A defining narrative moment occurs when he frees protagonist lion cub Leo/Kimba from captivity, driven by remorse after witnessing how his trapping collaboration indirectly caused the deaths of Leo's parents, Panja and Eliza. His appearances span multiple iterations. In the original manga, his post-liberation fate remains ambiguous beyond surviving a ship sinking with Leo; an unconfirmed potential cameo later depicts a similar-looking man interacting with Leo's son Lune in a city. The 1965 *Kimba the White Lion* anime shows him aiding Hamegg in trapping animals and orchestrating Panja's death. He later participates in Hamegg's deceptive animal-capturing party scheme, thwarted by Kimba, and expresses regret to Kimba over the parental loss. He appears minimally in the sequel *Leo the Lion*, limited to episodes 17 and 23. The 1989 series *The New Adventures of Kimba the White Lion* retains his core role as Hamegg's accomplice in antagonistic activities. While his fundamental actions align with earlier portrayals, this version amplifies his villainy, assigning him a more consistently prominent negative role within conflicts. His design and relationship with Hamegg remain unchanged. Kutter has no documented presence in movies, OVAs, or spin-offs beyond the cited series and manga. His arc consistently frames him as a poaching accomplice with fluctuating moral awareness—culminating in Leo’s release—without sustained redemption or explored backstory.
