    Kingdom Hearts (Kingudamu Hātsu) is a series of action-adventure role-playing games developed and published by Square Enix. It is a collaboration between Square Enix and Disney Interactive Studios, and is under the direction of Tetsuya Nomura, a longtime Square Enix character designer. Kingdom Hearts is a cosplay crossover of various Disney settings based in a universe made specifically for the series. The series features an all-star voice cast, which includes many of the Disney characters’ official voice actors and well-known actors such as Haley Joel Osment, David Gallagher, Jesse McCartney, and Hayden Panettiere. Characters from Square Enix’s Final Fantasy series make appearances and interact with the player and the Disney characters. The series centers around the main character Sora’s search for his friends and his encounters with Disney and Final Fantasy characters on their worlds.

    The Kingdom Hearts series games contain elements from both action and role-playing games. The games are driven by a linear progression from one story event to the next, usually shown in the form of a cut scene, though there are numerous side quests available that provide bonus benefits to the characters. The Kingdom Hearts Cosplay primarily controls the principal protagonist of the series, Sora. Sora is usually accompanied by Donald Duck and Goofy, who are non-playable characters that aid Sora in battle. Whilst visiting certain worlds, Donald or Goofy can be swapped out for that world’s protagonist (e.g. Jack Skellington whilst visiting Halloween Town or Aladdin whilst visiting Agrabah) In the first and third game, their behavior can be altered to suit different combat objectives. The games feature real-time combat that incorporates physical attacks, magic, and summonings, though each game handles battles differently. AI partners such as Donald and Goofy assist you in battle.

    The three main games in the Kingdom Hearts series focus on the adventures of Sora and his friends, Kairi and Riku. Appearing as the series prequel, Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, Kairi, Riku and Sora respectively encounter three figures named Aqua, Terra, and Ventus. As the three children go on their lives, eventually meeting each other, the three figures they meet suffer horrific fates that indirectly influence the three children. The first game shows how Sora is separated from his friends when their world, Destiny Islands, is invaded by creatures known as the Heartless. During the invasion, Sora obtains a weapon to be able to fight off the Heartless, known as the Keyblade. Soon after finding himself in Traverse Town, Sora meets Donald Duck and Goofy, two emissaries from Disney Castle sent by King Mickey to find the wielder of the mysterious weapon, the Key Blade.The three band together and travel to different Disney-themed worlds, sealing the hearts of the worlds to prevent more Heartless invasions. Along the way, they encounter a group of Disney villains, led by Maleficent, who is controlling the Heartless. Though they eventually defeat Maleficent, the three discover that a man named Ansem is the true antagonist. Ansem’s plan is to open the door to “Kingdom Hearts” in the hopes of attaining eternal darkness. Sora, Donald, and Goofy defeat Ansem, and seal the door with the help of Riku and King Mickey on the other side of the door.

    The Kingdom Hearts series currently consists of six games across different video game platforms, and future  Cheap Cosplay titles are planned. Most of the games in the series have been both critically acclaimed and commercially successful, though each title has seen varying levels of success. As of September 2008, the Kingdom Hearts series has shipped over 12.0 million copies worldwide, with 2.0 million copies in PAL regions, 3.0 million copies in Japan, and 5.6 million copies in North America.[1][2][3][4] A wide variety of related merchandise has been released along with the games, including soundtracks, figurines, and companion books.
