Sora is the main protagonist of the Kingdom Hearts series.

Origin

Hailing from the Destiny Islands, a small tropical archipelago, Sora was born and immediately made contact with a unconscious Ventus. Offering to tether their hearts together to save Ventus, Sora was able to repair Ventus's station, but in return, cause the dark part of Ventus, Vanitas, to bear his face. After Vanitas is destroyed by Ventus, Sora offers to give Ventus a place in his heart so he could sleep.

Sora would continue to live peacefully with his friends Kairi and Riku, and other children such as Tidus and Wakka (from Final Fantasy X), and Selphie (from Final Fantasy VIII). 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, a strange darkness overtook the islands, and creatures known as the Heartless appeared. Sora was granted a magical Keyblade in order to fight the Heartless, and found himself thrown through the universe.

Awaking in a place called Traverse Town, Sora teamed up with Donald Duck and Goofy to find his friends, as well as King Mickey. Together, they would venture through various worlds in order to save the universe from the Heartless, led by Ansem, Seeker of Darkness; and later the Nobodies, led by Organization XIII and Xemnas.

It is later revealed that the plot revolving around Ansem and Xemnas revolved around a plot led by Xehanort to reenact the long ancient Keyblade War. Vowing to stop Xehanort, Sora manages to save Aqua from the Realm of Darkness, and uses the "power of waking" on Ventus at the Land of Departure. Together with Donald, Goofy, Mickey, Kairi, Riku, and Lea, they head to the Keyblade Graveyard to fight Xehanort's clones and his subordinates.

Although the group manages to save Terra and Xion from Xehanort's grasp, and restore Roxas and his heart, Xemnas kidnaps Kairi and delivers her to Xehanort, who promptly destroys her after the group defeats the last of Xehanort's subordinates in order to craft the χ-blade. Using all their strength, Sora, Donald, and Goofy manages to defeat Xehanort and stop his plot to reignite the Keyblade War. Sora then traveled into The Final World in order to save Kairi, but at the cost of being lost forever.
