Wonderland
The White Rabbit
Voiced by (English): Corey Burton
Origin: Alice in Wonderland (1951)
Appearances: Kingdom Hearts χ | Kingdom Hearts | Chain of Memories | 358/2 Days | coded
The Queen of Hearts' retainer. He's always running late for some reason.
- Establishing Character Moment: A unique case in that he's both this for himself and world of Wonderland. The first thing that anyone new sees when they arrive is the rabbit running along, panicking about being late. It's strange, abrupt, and leaves the characters with their first questions about the place.
- Undying Loyalty: The only perceivable reason as to why he sticks around with the Queen in the first place.
The Cheshire Cat
Voiced by (English): Jim Cummings
Origin: Alice in Wonderland (1951)
Appearances: Kingdom Hearts χ | Kingdom Hearts | Chain of Memories | 358/2 Days | coded
A grinning cat who provides cryptic clues to anyone whose circumstances interest him. It's unclear whose side he's really on, but he tends to favor helping Sora most when he reveals himself.
- Ambiguously Evil: He gives helpful advice to the protagonists, and yet is seemingly connected to the Heartless appearing in his world.
- Adaptational Villainy: He's way meaner in the 358/2 Days manga, where he pins his beaning the Queen of Hearts head with a hedgehog on Roxas.
- Cheshire Cat Grin: Trope Namer and all.
- The Cuckoolander Was Right: Him talking to Roxas and implying that Nobodies have hearts during their conversation turns out to be completely accurate. Likewise, his talk about how lies and truths can be the same thing plays a great deal in the series' plot, and his talk about how a strong light can cast a powerful shadow is a staple of the series.
- Dark Is Not Evil: Up for debate, but it's somewhat implied that he's connected to the darkness in some way based on his mysterious and all-knowing personality. In the end, though, he is well meaning, if hard to follow.
- The Omniscient: He seems to like seeing others figure things out on their own, but for the most part likes simply misleading and confusing them with his riddles. He's also one of the few Disney characters That has talked to Organization 13 members while Roxas was with them.
- Refusal of the Call: A rare villainous example, as the Disney villains offered him a position in their group, but he turned them down in favor of helping Sora.
- Spanner in the Works: His last cryptic conversation with Roxas is one of the events that makes him begin to ponder about the Organization's motives and if he has a heart or not, striking a severe blow to Xemnas's and by extension Xehanort's plans.
- Suddenly Voiced: Despite having plenty of dialogue, he doesn't have a speaking role until the HD 2.5 Remix, a whole twelve years after his initial appearance.
- Trickster Mentor: What he ultimately is in the first game, as he leads Sora to pursue evidence in order move things along, and seemingly sets up Sora to expect the unexpected by summoning the Trickmaster Heartless, which reveals the first Keyhole the group comes across upon its defeat. His parting actions are giving away a Blizzard spell (provided Sora didn't gain it from him first) and a more straight-forward hint as to where Alice is.
- Troll: He seems to be the Ur-Example in Disney animation. Moreso in the manga, where he has a small Luxord cornered in a tree hole. He discusses luck with Luxord, and when Luxord member bets he can cut off Cheshire's arm, the cat reveals that the paw he was using was nothing more than a sharp back-scratcher. This prompts Luxord to make a hilarious Oh, Crap! face upon realizing he's not as good a gambler as he thought.
The Doorknob
Voiced by (English): Corey Burton
Origin: Alice in Wonderland (1951)
Appearances: Kingdom Hearts χ | Kingdom Hearts | Chain of Memories | 358/2 Days | coded
The doorknob on the door to Wonderland.
- Canon Foreigner: Not in the game, but his journal profile states how he was the only character in the Disney film who wasn't
- Chekhov's Gunman: He's the first Wonderland resident Sora meets after the White Rabbit. It turns out Wonderland's Keyhole is in his mouth.
- Nice Guy: Just like in the film, he's the one unambiguously helpful resident of Wonderland when he's not trying to catch some sleep.
- Sleepyhead: He's much more sleepy in this game than the movie. Any attempt to talk to him just shows him snoozing.

Olympus Coliseum / Olympus
Philoctetes (Phil)
Voiced by (English): Robert Costanzo
Origin: Hercules (1997)
Appearances: Birth by Sleep | Kingdom Hearts | Chain of Memories | 358/2 Days | Kingdom Hearts II | coded
A satyr and veteran trainer of heroes, including Hercules. He runs the matches at Olympus Coliseum.
- Badass Teacher: Downplayed. He's hardly the fighter Sora or Hercules are, but he plays a key role in helping you beat the Hydra by volleying huge urns to smash into the boss's back.
- Casanova Wannabe: He tries his damnedest to woo Aqua in Birth by Sleep. It works about as well as you'd expect a young woman to react to getting hit on by a middle-aged guy.
- Continue Your Mission, Dammit!: During the Hydra boss battle in Kingdom Hearts II, he helpfully reminds you to GET UP ON THE HYDRA'S BACK. He will repeat it with no breaks in between.
- Cool Old Guy: He's usually this off the coliseum floor. Notably with Roxas, he doesn't hold any bad blood after he finds out that Roxas was not the kid he was supposed to be training for Hercules.
- Dirty Old Man: He's not nearly as overt as he is in the film, but he has quite a few...suggestive comments towards Aqua in Birth by Sleep.
- Hidden Heart of Gold: When Sora and Donald pester him to make them heroes already in Kingdom Hearts II, he says he'd make them heroes in a heartbeat if there weren't such strict guidelines. He then tries pretending he didn't say that.
- In-Series Nickname: Just like the movie, his friends call him "Phil". In fact, he's never addressed by his full name except in the journal.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He instantly turns Sora, Donald, and Goofy away the first time he meets them, and he simply tags them as "junior heroes" for their valiance against Cerberus, but he does his best to see they actually become true heroes.
- Running Gag: Just like the movie, he gives people "two-word" statements that are actually made up of one or three words, usually confusing or amusing people.
- Stealth Mentor: In Birth by Sleep, he sets up a contest between Hercules and Zack to see which of them he'll train based on their performance in the Games, despite already being Herc's trainer. He later reveals that he never had any intention to stop training Herc, and that the whole thing was to give him more incentive to train harder and get his self-confidence back.
- Tears of Joy: He's visibly seen crying into his arm when he sees constellations of Sora, Donald, and Goofy in Kingdom Hearts II, indicating that the gods have recognized them as true heroes.
Megara (Meg)
Voiced by (English): Susan Egan
Origin: Hercules (1997)
Appearances: Kingdom Hearts II
Hercules's loving and supportive girlfriend. Also known as Meg for short.
- Bound and Gagged: It happens to her quite often, though she only gets gagged in the manga.
- Damsel in Distress: She gets kidnapped by Hades twice in the same game: first to trick Sora into unlocking the Underdrome by freeing her, and second in a bid to kill Herc directly by dropping her into the Well of Souls.
- Deadpan Snarker: She's just as sarcastic and witty as she was in the film.
- Deal with the Devil: She doesn't carry it out, but she does plan to make a plea to Hades to stop running Hercules ragged, despite knowing Hades's character all too well.
- Love Interest: She claims to just be a friend of Herc's, but seeing how this takes place after the movie, where they had a Relationship Upgrade...
- The Medic: She helps during the Hydra boss fight by dropping certain recovery items for Sora.
Pegasus
Hercules's flying horse companion.
- Cool Horse: Sora gets to ride on his back to take out all of the Hydra's heads.
- Early-Bird Cameo: A picture of him appears as the mascot of the titular Pegasus Cup in Kingdom Hearts before his proper appearance in the game.
- Non-Human Sidekick: As usual, he serves as one to Hercules.
- The Speechless: He only communicates in neighs when spoken to, though his speech bubbles always convey how he's feeling.

- For Hades, Cerberus, the Titans, Pain, Panic, and the Hydra, see Kingdom Hearts: Disney Villains - Maleficent's Council and Allies
Deep Jungle
Jane Porter
Voiced by (English): Naia Kelly
Origin: Tarzan (1999)
Appearances: Kingdom Hearts
A naturalist who studies the gorillas of the Deep Jungle.
- Adaptation Personality Change: She's much less socially awkward than she is in the film.
- Damsel in Distress: She gets kidnapped by Clayton at one point, requiring you to find and rescue her.
- Friend to All Living Things: She's extremely caring towards the gorillas, and is rightfully furious when she learns Clayton tried shooting Terk.
- Hot Teacher: She's quite attractive, and she helps Tarzan learn English (or whatever language the dub calls for).
- Horrible Judge of Character: Despite the whole debacle with Clayton trying to kill Terk, Jane insists he isn't a bad person at heart. She's proven dead wrong when his heart grows dark enough to attract the Heartless.
- Nice Girl: She's incredibly kind and supportive, especially towards Tarzan.
Terk
Voiced by (English): Audrey Wasilewski
Origin: Tarzan (1999)
Appearances: Kingdom Hearts
Tarzan's best friend among the gorillas.
- Adaptation Personality Change: Her sassy personality from the film was cut from the game, reducing her to simply an inquisitive young gorilla.
- Interspecies Romance: She takes a liking to Donald, an anthropomorphic duck.
- The Voiceless: Apart from a Reactive Continuous Scream with Donald, she doesn't speak. Justified since Sora and his friends don't understand the gorillas' language.
Kerchak and Kala
The leaders of the gorilla pack, and Tarzan's adoptive parents. Kerchak is naturally distrusting of Tarzan's new friends, while Kala tries being more supportive.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Once Sora and co. save the gorillas from the Heartless, Kerchak relents and allows them access to the nesting grounds—by violently chucking them up the cliff leading there.
- Spared by the Adaptation: Unlike the movie, Kerchak is not killed by Clayton.
- The Voiceless: Neither of them speak on-screen. Like Terk, this is justified as only Tarzan can understand them, and much of the game's POV is on Sora and his friends.
- For Tarzan, see Kingdom Hearts: Party Members and Summons
- For Clayton and Sabor, see Kingdom Hearts: Other Disney Villains
Agrabah
Abu
Origin: Aladdin (1992)
Appearances: Kingdom Hearts χ | Kingdom Hearts | 358/2 Days | Kingdom Hearts II

- Distressed Dude: He gets kidnapped by a Wily Bandit Heartless in Kingdom Hearts χ.
- Non-Human Sidekick: He's constantly around Aladdin, and having Aladdin in your party allows Abu to activate certain switches in the Cave of Wonders.
- The Unintelligible: As usual, only Aladdin can understand him.
The Magic Carpet
A living, flying magic carpet that Aladdin found in the Cave of Wonders. He carries Sora and co. across the desert outside of Agrabah.
- Animate Inanimate Object: He's a sentient Magic Carpet.
- Big Damn Heroes: Just like the movie, he saves Sora's party from the collapsing Cave of Wonders.
- Distressed Dude: He's first found pinned under a chest in Aladdin's house by the Heartless, preventing him from helping Aladdin until you free him.
- A Dog Named "Dog": He's an enchanted carpet. Doesn't get simpler than that.
- Magic Carpet: Obviously. He serves as the party's mode of transportation between Agrabah and the Cave of Wonders.
- The Speechless: A given, since he has no mouth. Any expressions it makes are done through body language.
The Peddler
Voiced by (English): Corey Burton
Origin: Aladdin (1992)
Appearances: Kingdom Hearts | Kingdom Hearts II | coded
A shifty peddler who sells various merchandise on the streets of Agrabah.
- Ascended Extra: In the first game, he randomly appears selling items to you in Aladdin's house. In Kingdom Hearts II, he features more into the plot by getting his hands on Jafar's lamp.
- Decomposite Character: It was implied in the original film, and eventually confirmed by the filmmakers, that he is actually the Genie in disguise, as indicated by them sharing Robin Williams as an actor. Here, the Peddler and the Genie are two distinct characters.
- Karma Houdini: Suffers no consequences whatsoever for unleashing the genie Jafar on Agrabah.
- Never My Fault: He refuses to fully accept responsibility for releasing Jafar, insisting he was put under his control.
- No Name Given: He's simply known by his profession.
- Rags to Riches: His dingy shop in Agrabah gets refurbished and plated with solid gold after Sora and co. sell him treasure "fit for a sultan".
- Too Dumb to Live: He's the one who unleashes Jafar from his lamp after Jafar tells him a flimsy lie about being the true sultan of Agrabah. In hindsight, even he admits it was stupid, but insists Jafar put him under some kind of spell to do it.
