Hayner

Hayner appears in Kingdom Hearts II. He is voiced by Justin Cowden in the English version and Kazunori Sasaki in the Japanese version.

Story
He is good friends with Pence and Olette, and his group has a rivalry with Seifer's gang.

In Ansem the Wise's Simulated Twilight Town, he was Roxas' best friend. His boredom caused him to suggest that the group take a trip to the beach, prompting DiZ and Riku to intervene, as no virtual beach existed. In the Struggle tournament, he faces Roxas in the first round and loses. Hayner, or at least the virtual Hayner, holds loyalty and promises highly, and seen through his jealousy when he sees Roxas with Seifer and his emphasis on the promise he and Roxas made to share the winnings of the tournament.

In the real Twilight Town he and his friends don't mention Roxas at all, but seem to recognize Sora slightly.

Hayner is also a competent fighter and is seen facing off against his rival Seifer in the finals of the Struggle competition during the ending credits. Hayner, headstrong and street smart, along with his friends Pence and Olette helped Sora and the gang out find the way into the virtual Twilight Town. It was a tearful moment for the four of them. It had felt like they knew each other and were never going to see each other again.

Appearance
Hayner is a 15 year old boy who wears camo shoes and pants and has blonde hair.

Personality
Hayner is impulsive and determined, and is always looking for a new adventure. He is bold to the point of recklessness, once even charging Axel unarmed. He gets bored easily during uneventful times, as demonstrated when he constantly pesters his friends to do something during their summer vacation.

Trivia

 * Hayner may be an overturned version of Zell Dincht from Final Fantasy VIII.  He has very similar hair, similar clothes, and almost the exact same attitude/personality.
