Riku

Riku (リク, Riku) is one of the main characters and deuteragonist of the Kingdom Keyblade Masters series. He is a Keyblade wielder that has the power of light Darkness, and is always ready to sacrifice himself to protect his friends. Riku is usually depicted as being stronger than Sora, and is the second most popular character, after Sora.

He lives on Destiny Islands with his best friends, Sora and Kairi, and all three of them dream of venturing from Destiny Islands to find out what lies beyond. Riku's name is derived from the Japanese word for "land".

"Once we step through, we might not be able to come back. We may never see our parents again. There's no turning back. But this may be our only chance. We can't let fear stop us! I'm not afraid of the darkness!"

Appearance
Riku is a young teenage boy with sliver hair with bangs, pale skin, bright blue-green eyes, and a muscular build. Since he is a year older than Sora and Kairi, Riku is the tallest of the trio. Riku's hair was originally shoulder-length, but in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days and Kingdom Hearts II, his hair has grown longer until it reaches his upper back. Some time before Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, he cut it short to the length it was when he was a child. Much like Sora, while his general appearance does not change much throughout the series, Riku receives several costumes and form changes during the course of his adventures.
