During his quest, Sora obtains a mysterious weapon known as a {{iw|khwiki|Keyblade}}, allies with {{iw|khwiki|Donald Duck}} and {{iw|khwiki|Goofy}} to journey to various worlds in order to help each other reunite with their respective allies, and unravels the mysteries of both the Keyblade and the darkness that consumed the Destiny Islands and numerous other worlds. | During his quest, Sora obtains a mysterious weapon known as a {{iw|khwiki|Keyblade}}, allies with {{iw|khwiki|Donald Duck}} and {{iw|khwiki|Goofy}} to journey to various worlds in order to help each other reunite with their respective allies, and unravels the mysteries of both the Keyblade and the darkness that consumed the Destiny Islands and numerous other worlds. | ||

Sora was born and raised in the {{iw|khwiki|Destiny Islands}}, a group of small tropical islands. As a newborn, Sora's heart would make contact with an unconscious {{iw|khwiki|Ventus}}, whose heart was fractured in an attempt to separate the dark part of his heart from him. Offering to tether their hearts together to save Ventus, Sora was able to rescue Ventus; however, this caused the dark part of Ventus, {{iw|khwiki|Vanitas}}, to bear Sora's facial structure. After the two merge, Ventus' heart clashes with Vanitas. When Ventus' heart is fractured in this battle as a cost of defeating Vanitas, Sora's heart offers for his heart to take shelter in his own body, so Ventus could regain his strength.

When Ventus' heart is fractured in this battle as a cost of defeating Vanitas, Sora's heart offers for his heart to take shelter in his own body, so Ventus could regain his strength. Meanwhile, Ventus' friend Aqua hides him in their home, the Land of Departure, and transforms it into a new form called {{iw|khwiki|Castle Oblivion}} that will allow Ventus to stay hidden until he reawakens. | ||
Unknowing of the decision his heart made, Sora would continue to live peacefully with his friends {{iw|khwiki|Kairi}} and {{iw|khwiki|Riku}}, alongside other children such as {{iw|khwiki|Tidus}}, {{iw|khwiki|Wakka}} and {{iw|khwiki|Selphie}}. The trio of friends desired to explore other worlds, so they built a raft to sail away from the Destiny Islands. The night before their voyage, however, an ominous event occurred. A strange darkness overtook the islands, and creatures known as the {{iw|khwiki|Heartless}} appeared. Desperate to protect the raft, Sora went to locate Kairi and Riku, the latter announcing that he was not afraid of the incoming darkness and allowing himself to be sucked into a {{iw|khwiki|Corridor of Darkness}}. However, thanks to Ventus' heart, Sora was then granted a magical weapon called the {{iw|khwiki|Keyblade}} in order to fight the Heartless, and found himself thrown through the universe. | Unknowing of the decision his heart made, Sora would continue to live peacefully with his friends {{iw|khwiki|Kairi}} and {{iw|khwiki|Riku}}, alongside other children such as {{iw|khwiki|Tidus}}, {{iw|khwiki|Wakka}} and {{iw|khwiki|Selphie}}.

While finding a way back, Sora, Donald, and Goofy end up in Castle Oblivion, where they soon find out that their memories are fading or rewritten. While trying to figure out what is going on, Sora, Donald, and Goofy run into several members of {{iw|khwiki|Organization XIII}} that both try to stop and help them along the way. They also come across a girl named {{iw|khwiki|Naminé}}, Kairi's Nobody that had been hired by Organization XIII to mess up memories of Sora and his friends for the Organization's plans. After Sora, Donald, and Goofy defeat the castle's ruler, {{iw|khwiki|Marluxia}}, Naminé agrees to help restore their memories, but in order for their memories to be fully restored, she has to put them in a coma for one year. | While finding a way back, Sora, Donald, and Goofy end up in Castle Oblivion, where they soon find out that their memories are fading or rewritten.

Concurrent to Sora's | Concurrent to Sora's recovery, Roxas is quickly discovered by the head of Organization XIII, {{iw|khwiki|Xemnas}}, who declares Roxas an Organization member and orders him to do various tasks. He also makes friends with two other members of the Organization: {{iw|khwiki|Axel}} and {{iw|khwiki|Xion}}. The latter is later revealed to not be a traditional Nobody, but a puppet {{iw|khwiki|Replica}} created around Sora's memories. Xion is eventually forced by the Organization to kill Roxas and absorb him to become a "complete" Sora, though Roxas defeats her with regrets. Roxas is then taken captive by Riku, led by {{iw|khwiki|Ansem the Wise}} under the pseudonym DiZ. Roxas then realizes that he must cease to exist and merge with Sora to regain his memories. After some initial resistance, Roxas willingly accepts his demise for the greater good. | ||
Sora, now awake and with all of his memories intact, sets out on another adventure to take down the Organization members and Xemnas. Heading to {{iw|khwiki|The World That Never Was}}, Sora reunites with Riku and the two foil Xemnas's plans to merge with his artificial Kingdom Hearts, and are able to find themselves back home on Destiny Islands, fully reuniting with Kairi. In the process, they learn that Ansem is a separate being from Ansem the Wise, really a pseudonym belonging to a {{iw|khwiki|Keyblade Master}} by the name of {{iw|khwiki|Xehanort}}. Xehanort split himself into two beings: Ansem, his Heartless, and Xemnas, his Nobody, in an attempt to call forth Kingdom Hearts and re-initiate the ancient {{iw|khwiki|Keyblade War}}. Previously, he had attempted this by splitting Ventus and Vanitas apart, allowing them to later fuse to create the {{iw|khwiki|χ-blade}}, the very first Keyblade, which can summon Kingdom Hearts. | Sora, now awake and with all of his memories intact, sets out on another adventure to take down the Organization members and Xemnas.

Later, Sora and Riku are tasked by {{iw|khwiki|Yen Sid}} to complete the {{iw|khwiki|Mark of Mastery exam}} to become Keyblade Masters themselves after sensing the return of Xehanort. It is later revealed by copies of Xehanort that he plans to assemble [[khwiki:Real Organization XIII|13 Seekers of Darkness]] that all carry a piece of his soul, becoming the true form of Organization XIII, in order to restart the Keyblade War. While only Riku becomes a Keyblade Master, Sora is still believed to be the one destined to save the day. Vowing to stop Xehanort, Sora manages to save Aqua from the {{iw|khwiki|Realm of Darkness}}, and uses the {{iw|khwiki|power of waking}} on Ventus in Castle Oblivion, after Aqua reverted it back to the Land of Departure. Together with Donald, Goofy, Mickey, Kairi, Riku, and {{iw|khwiki|Lea}}, the true form of Axel, they head to the {{iw|khwiki|Keyblade Graveyard}} to fight Xehanort's clones and his subordinates. | Later, Sora and Riku are tasked by {{iw|khwiki|Yen Sid}} to complete the {{iw|khwiki|Mark of Mastery exam}} to become Keyblade Masters themselves after sensing the return of Xehanort.

Using all their strength, Sora, Donald, and Goofy manage to defeat Xehanort in {{iw|khwiki|Scala ad Caelum}}, and stop his plot to reignite the Keyblade War. Sora then travels into {{iw|khwiki|The Final World}} in order to save Kairi, but at the cost of supposedly being lost forever. | ||
One year later, Sora awakens in a nighttime version of The Final World and discovers himself intact. He calls for anyone to answer him, and encounters {{iw|khwiki|Yozora}}, the protagonist of the fictional video game ''{{iw|khwiki|Verum Rex}}'' who was mentioned by a {{iw|khwiki|Nameless Star}} that Sora had met in the Final World. Yozora cryptically claims that he was sent to "save" Sora, and teleports himself and Sora to the city of {{iw|khwiki|Quadratum}}. A battle ensues in which Sora is the victor, and Yozora fades after realizing his power was not yet needed, something which a confused Sora asks. | One year later, Sora awakens in a nighttime version of The Final World and discovers himself intact.
