Neku

Unreleased

Neku is a character that is set to appear in the upcoming Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance. At the 2011 Tokyo Game Show, he was featured in a gameplay demo.

Development
Sora wanders Traverse Town calling out for Riku, but instead finds Neku hanging from a roof. Neku jumps down and tells Sora that he needs a partner with whom to play the Reapers' Game, and shows him the number on his hand, which reveals that he has just over forty-three minutes to win the game before he is erased by the Reapers.

Origin
Neku Sakuraba is the main protagonist of The World Ends With You. He was born and raised in Shibuya, Japan. An introverted graffiti fanatic, Neku acts under his own principles and refuses to hear others'. He despises people and acts cold towards anyone that tries to communicate with him, even resorting to constantly wearing headphones to put up a distance between him and the world around him.

One day, Neku wakes up in Shibuya's Scramble Crossing, and finds that he cannot remember anything except his name. Neku is forced to make a contract with a partner to survive the "Reaper's Game" by completing daily missions assigned by the Game Master, as well as surviving battles against the Noise, which are demons summoned by the Reapers, and the Reapers themselves. As Neku survives three weeks of the Reaper's Game, he discovers the secrets behind Shibuya, his own missing memory, and the Reaper's Game itself.
