This is a list of characters with their voice actors from the video game series Kingdom Hearts, sorted by world. For general information, see the main article. For information about the worlds of Kingdom Hearts, see its main article.
Voice actors for Disney characters reprised their roles for Kingdom Hearts whenever possible.
Main characters

Sora (ソラ) is the main character of the Kingdom Hearts series. Sora is a wielder of the Keyblade, a powerful weapon he uses to battle darkness. With Donald and Goofy, Sora travels from world to world to defeat the forces of darkness.
Sora is voiced by Haley Joel Osment in the English version and Miyu Irino in the Japanese version.
Donald Duck
Donald Duck (ドナルドダック, Donarudo Dakku) is the court wizard of Disney Castle and a loyal servant to King Mickey. He is a short-tempered, powerful magician on a quest to find King Mickey Mouse. In Kingdom Hearts, he embarks on a journey to carry out the missing king’s orders to follow the Keyblade wielder. Donald finds a letter from the King explaining his departure. Donald Duck sets out with Goofy to find and assist the King in the battle against the Heartless. He is a feisty, impatient magician whose antics are a real highlight of Sora's story. Donald is one of Sora's two companions who go with him to every world. This version of Donald, like the protagonist, Sora, undergoes several transformations in different worlds, including an octopus and a mummy.
Donald is voiced by Tony Anselmo in the English version and Kōichi Yamadera in the Japanese version.
Goofy
Goofy (グーフィー, Gūfī) is the captain of the Royal Knights of Disney Castle and a soldier who despises weapons, instead preferring a shield to use against his enemies. Under the king’s orders, he accompanies Donald on the quest to find the key.
Goofy is voiced by Bill Farmer in the English version and Yutaka Shimaka in the Japanese version.
Other major characters
Riku
Riku (リク) may seem cool and collected for his age, but he is far from the quiet type. Always curious about the unknown, he begins to question the small, closed world in which he lived. Riku dreams of seeing other worlds and so he forsook the islands — only to be seduced by the power of darkness.
Riku is voiced by David Gallagher in the English version and Mamoru Miyano in the Japanese version.
Kairi
Kairi (カイリ) is a young teen that arrived on the Destiny Islands a few years before the events of Kingdom Hearts. She is one of the seven "Princesses of Heart", who, together, open the path to Kingdom Hearts.
Kairi is voiced by Hayden Panettiere in the English version and Risa Uchida in the Japanese version.
Xehanort
A student under Ansem the Wise, Xehanort (ゼアノート, Zeanōto) had no memory of his life prior to his appearance at the Radiant Garden after people with Keyblades fought. While studying the heart and the darkness within it, he began to assume the identity of his teacher and ravages his world out of his hunger for knowledge. He sacrificed his body in the process, becoming a Heartless and a Nobody. In Kingdom Hearts, Xehanort's Heartless possessed Riku's body to regain his physical presence. Although his goal of reaching Kingdom Hearts was realized, Xehanort's Heartless meets his demise by the light of Kingdom Hearts.
Xemnas, Xehanort's Nobody who sought to increase and use Kingdom Hearts's power, endures until Kingdom Hearts II. Xemnas seeks the power of Kingdom Hearts apparently from the belief that by controlling the heart of all worlds, he and the rest of the Nobodies can fully exist again. This may be a twisted form of the desire to find his original heart and reunite with it. Unfortunately, he uses manipulative and damaging means to do so, resulting in his destruction.
Xehanort's Heartless is voiced by Billy Zane in the English version of Kingdom Hearts and Richard Epcar in the English version of Kingdom Hearts II. In a flashback sequence in Kingdom Hearts II, Xehanort is voiced by Richard Epcar. Xehanort and Xehanort's Heartless is voiced by Akio Ohtsuka in the Japanese versions of both games. Xemnas is voiced by Paul St. Peter in the English version of Kingdom Hearts II and by Norio Wakamoto in the Japanese version.
Maleficent
Maleficent (マレフィセント, Marefisento) is a sorceress of awesome power. She leads the villains who seek to harness the power of darkness, urging them to be careful not to let it overwhelm them. However, unbeknownst to her, the Heartless she believes she controls are actually using her. Xehanort's Heartless unlocks her heart and turns her into her dragon form. Sora defeats and kills her but she is resurrected in Kingdom Hearts II, where she seeks a new base of operations so she can resume her intent to obtain Kingdom Hearts. At first she wants to get back at Sora, but she ends up helping him on two occasions.
Maleficent is voiced by Susan Blakeslee in the English version and Toshiko Sawada in the Japanese version.
King Mickey
The ruler of Disney Castle, King Mickey (王様, Ōsama) left his world when the Heartless began to attack. While he had Donald and Goofy find and protect the Keyblade Master, Mickey was on a mission of his own. In Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts II, he returns and plays a bigger role, wielding the Keyblade of the dark realm. While he knows of Riku's whereabouts, he has promised Riku that he will not say anything to Sora. In certain battles in Kingdom Hearts II, if Sora and his friends are defeated, King Mickey will step out to fight in Sora's place until he is defeated or resurrects Sora.
King Mickey is voiced by Wayne Allwine in the English version and Takashi Aoyagi in the Japanese version.
Organization XIII
The mysterious group of thirteen powerful Nobodies, Organization XIII (XIII機関, Jūsan Kikan) studies the inner workings of the heart in an attempt to become whole again. The first six members are the Nobodies of Ansem the Wise's former disciples, while the last member is Roxas. Their leader is Xemnas, the Nobody of Xehanort.
Naminé
Naminé (ナミネ, Namine) is Kairi's Nobody, born when her heart was lost to Sora during a "rare occasion". She is a young witch who can manipulate memories. Under orders from Marluxia, Naminé shadowed Kairi and altered Sora's memory while he was in Castle Oblivion. Because Naminé is based on the false memories of Sora's feelings towards Kairi, Sora believed he and Naminé had been friends since childhood until he learned the truth that he never met her. The forgiveness in Sora's heart moved Naminé to disobey the orders she was given. She then spent a year to reconstruct Sora's memory. Before the final battle, Naminé fused with Kairi after opening a dark corridor for everyone to escape.
According to the Secret Ansem Reports, Namine was created when Kairi's heart left her body, but because her heart had no darkness in it, it didn't fade into the darkness and turn into a Heartless like the other hearts. Strangely enough, her body did not fade and then get reborn as a Nobody in Twilight Town like the rest of the Nobodies either. This has not yet been fully explained. We do know that Namine, her Nobody, was born and then ended up in Castle Oblivion.
Naminé is voiced by Brittany Snow in the English version and Iku Nakahara in the Japanese version.
Riku Replica
Riku Replica (リク＝レプリカ, Riku-Repurika) is a clone of Riku created by Vexen in Castle Oblivion during the events of Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. While Riku feared his darkness, the replica wielded it freely. Larxene and Vexen decide to have Naminé erase the replica's memories and replace them with the same false memories of Naminé that they planted in Sora.
Believing himself to be the real Riku, he engages Sora several times, telling him that he is not wanted in Castle Oblivion and that he would be the one to "save" Namine. During the final fight between Sora and him, he catches Sora off-guard and is about to finish him off when Naminé interferes and destroys his memories to save Sora, rendering him unconscious.
Later on the 13th floor of the castle, the Riku Replica reappears and prevents Marluxia from slaying Naminé. After Sora defeats Marluxia, he thanks the clone who mentions that he does not have to be real to see Sora's kindness. The clone is found by Axel as he wanders around Castle Oblivion. Axel promises that he would become a new entity, not a shadow of someone, if he gained new powers. Listening to Axel, he kills Zexion but finds that this did not give him the individuality he desired and he decides that the only way to be original is to kill the original. Tracking Riku to the entrance of the Old Mansion in memory-Twilight Town, he fights Riku a final time but is defeated. As he lies mortally wounded and wondering where an artificial heart would go after death, Riku attempts to comfort his copy by saying "Your heart will go to the same place as mine." All the replica replies is "How original" and vanishes with a slight smile.
In the manga, Riku Replica's story ends differently in a bizarre, humorous bonus comic. He wakes up after Namine destroys his memories and his old memories return. He has a short "fight" with the real Riku but loses, then winds up at Vexen's grave stone. After a set of Vexen Replicas appear, he takes them in tow and leaves Castle Oblivion.
DiZ
DiZ (ディズ, Dizu) was formerly Ansem the Wise (賢者アンセム, Kenja Ansemu), ruler of the Radiant Garden, but he has since cast off that name. As a researcher and ruler of his world, DiZ studied the heart and delved into the many secrets of the worlds. In Castle Oblivion, he appeared before Riku in the guise of Xehanort's Heartless, presenting him with choices regarding the darkness within his heart. DiZ's intentions are a mystery but revolve around the Organization. In Kingdom Hearts II he uses a device to attempt to convert Kingdom Hearts into data, but fails; he helps Sora by using it to damage Kingdom Hearts, dying in the explosion. In Kingdom Hearts II, it is revealed that his name is an acronym for "Darkness in Zero".
DiZ is voiced by Christopher Lee in the English version and Genzō Wakayama in the Japanese version.
Roxas
Roxas (ロクサス, Rokusasu) is Sora's Nobody who was "born" when Sora stabbed himself with the dark Keyblade and turned into a Heartless. Roxas received his name from Xemnas prior to being recruited. Roxas had no memory of being Sora because of the short time Sora spent as a Heartless. He eventually left the Organization to find Sora. However, Roxas was captured by Riku and placed in DiZ's virtual Twilight Town with no memory of before. Overtime, Roxas eventually remembers his true self and accepts his true nature during the process of merging with Sora. However, Roxas remained active, challenging and almost defeating Sora in a "mental duel". Roxas is the 13th member of Organization XIII, the "Key of Destiny", and controls the element of Light. He dual-wields the Oathkeeper and Oblivion Keyblades.
Roxas is voiced by Jesse McCartney in the English version and Koki Uchiyama in the Japanese version.
Pete
In Kingdom Hearts II, Pete (ピート, Pīto) is one of the main villains Sora and his friends have to deal with. He was originally a Captain from the Disney Castle world, referring to Mickey as the "boat boy king", but was banished to another dimension for his evil ways. However, he is freed by Maleficent and vows to help her conquer the worlds, or as he says, "have her help me take over".
Pete is voiced by Jim Cummings in the English version and Tōru Ōhira in the Japanese version.
Terra
Terra (テラ, Tera, Latin for "earth"), also known as "Todomarishi Shinen" (留まりし思念, lit. "Lingering Sentiment"), first appears in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix as an optional boss wielding a large Keyblade. He is reached through a portal in Disney Castle, in the Hall of the Cornerstone. When Sora meets Terra in a desert, the soldier calls out Xehanort's name and attacks Sora.If Sora comes back to challenge Terra again, he states he has nothing else to give him, and that the only thing he has left is his hatred for Xehanort.
Heartless
The Heartless (ハートレス, Hātoresu), creatures of the darkness created when a being succumbs to the darkness in their heart, appear out of nowhere. Their origin and purpose are surrounded in mystery. The Heartless cast worlds into darkness, stealing away people’s hearts. They attack Sora and his world without mercy, drawn to him by the Keyblade that he possesses. There are two main categories of Heartless, Emblem and Pureblood, and stronger Heartless are more beastlike than the weaker. Heartless are generally black with round, yellow glowing eyes.
Nobody
Creatures sharing an in-between existence, a Nobody (ノーバディ, Nōbadi) is born from the body and soul of a strong-hearted person who lost his heart to the Heartless. Unlike the Heartless, Nobodies are not driven by instinct; they can think and plan. Nobodies lack emotions and morals, but feel a need to be complete. White in appearance, they are controlled by the strongest Nobodies, Organization XIII.

Most notable about the Hydra battle is Sora's beheading reaction command in both the Japanese and English versions of Kingdom Hearts II. In the original Japanese, green blood spurts from the Hydra's neck, a reference to the Hydra battle from Disney's Hercules. Due to censoring laws, the English version has black and purple smoke vaporize from the neck instead of blood, deviating from the scene in the Disney film.

However, his main purpose is to convince Cloud to give in to his darkness. Tifa comes to the confused Cloud in time to aid him. Their combined light is enough to overpower Sephiroth. At the end of the fight, a glowing Cloud jumps up to finish a floating Sephiroth. However, they disappear, leaving Tifa searching for Cloud again. It is possible that Sephiroth is either Cloud's Nobody or Heartless, such as Xehanort and his heartless, the anatagonist from the first Kingdom Hearts, because Sephiroth says he is the darkness that consumes Cloud's heart. Most telling is that Sephiroth remarks to Cloud "I am you".
