Tarzan/Jane is the het pairing of Tarzan and Jane Porter from the Tarzan fandoms.

Canon

The depiction of the pairing has been mostly consistent across all medium; books, films and comics. Tarzan is the son of English nobility, raised in the African jungle by apes. Jane is the daughter of an academic, from Baltimore in the books, and England in the famous Johnny Weissmuller films and Disney movie.

In all canons, the two meet and fall in love. In the books, they do not immediately form a relationship. In fact, Jane is at one point engaged to Tarzan's cousin. In the book "The Return of Tarzan", the two do get married, having a son named Jack AKA Korak, who has adventures of his own.

The books and movies differ the most after they get together. Jane stays in the jungle with Tarzan in the Weissmuler movies, which influenced subsequent portrayals, most recently in the Disney movie.
