<P> Lilo does not return as a main character in the anime series Stitch! . The original version (aired in Japan) contradicts and leaves many plot holes to what had occurred in the original movies, one that is most mentioned is the separation of Lilo and Stitch . For unknown reasons, Madhouse decided to remove Lilo from the show and leave her absence open to the viewer's imagination, to replace her with their own character named Yuna . However, in the heavily edited English adaptation of the anime, it implies that Stitch ran away out of jealousy of Lilo having a boyfriend, as mentioned by Jumba, "Just because little girl Lilo, has new boyfriend now and is all washed up by 626 (Stitch) is no reason to act bad," suggesting that the now grown - up Lilo has deserted him for a new boyfriend . Despite this, when confronted by Yuna (a Japanese little girl who is the series' equivalent / replacement to Lilo) about his family forgetting and not caring about him, he quickly states "Lilo didn't forget!" which implies he still deeply cares about her, and believes Lilo cares about him as well . However, Lilo does not appear until episode 23 of the Shin - Ei Animation - produced ~ Best Friends Forever ~ (Season 3), where she, now a fully grown woman, visits Okinawa's Newtown with her daughter named Ani (who looks incredibly like her when she was a child and whom Stitch thought was Lilo in the beginning). As both friends reunite we learn that Lilo still truly loves and cares about Stitch and there was never any boyfriend . Lilo had gone to college and they planned to meet on the beach when she returned, but when that day came, Nani was heavily pregnant and caused Lilo to be late . Stitch, for unknown reasons was never aware of Nani's condition (although the English dub states that Stitch had been away on mission with the Galactic Armada throughout Lilo's time in college, which might provide an explanation to him being unaware of Nani's condition), and since Lilo didn't arrive at the time they planned, he thought she had forgotten about him . He leaves his tiki necklace (the one Lilo gave to him in Leroy & Stitch) on the beach before flying away in his ship . By the time Lilo arrives, he had already left . Lilo discovers this when she finds his necklace on the beach and cries . In the end, before Lilo and her daughter board the plane, Stitch arrives in time to see her again . They both have a happy reunion, she hugs him, promises to visit him again, and asks Stitch to take good care of his new family . She then gives Stitch his tiki necklace back before leaving . </P> <P> Lilo is also removed as a main character in the Chinese animated series Stitch & Ai . She only appears in flashback scenes based on scenes from the Western continuity where Stitch recalls memories of him and her together . While it is not known how old she is by the events of this series, the flashback scenes in the first episode do reveal that Stitch was forcibly separated from her when he was kidnapped by space pirates . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th_colspan="2"> Nani Pelekai </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> First appearance </Th> <Td> Lilo & Stitch (2002) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Created by </Th> <Td> Chris Sanders </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Voiced by </Th> <Td> Tia Carrere Vanessa Marshall (Lilo & Stitch: Trouble in Paradise) Grey DeLisle (Toddler) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Voiced by (Japanese) </Th> <Td> Tomoko Tabata </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Occupation </Th> <Td> Former luau waitress (Lilo & Stitch) Surfboard rental shack clerk (sequel films, Lilo & Stitch: The Series) </Td> </Tr> </Table> <Tr> <Th_colspan="2"> Nani Pelekai </Th> </Tr>
