Captain Hook

Captain Hook is the leader of the pirates who sail the waters of Neverland, and Peter Pan's arch nemesis. He appeared in Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, and is set to appear in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep.

Kingdom Hearts
Part 1

''The pirate who is working with the Heartless to pay revenge to Peter Pan, who caused him to lose his left hand. He is as arrogant as a pirate can be, but hides away when the crocodile comes close. With the Heartless' powers, he can travel to many other worlds. ''

Part 2

''The pirate with a grudge against Peter Pan, who caused him to lose his hand to the crocodile. He threw in his lot with Maleficent and the Heartless, but ended up being chased over the horizon by the crocodile. ''

He hooked us in "Peter Pan" (1953).

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
''A pirate who holds a grudge against Peter Pan. Hook kidnapped Wendy to lure Peter out. Normally proud, Hook falls to pieces the moment the crocodile that took his hand shows up.''

Riku's Story

''A pirate of Neverland. Hook appeared before Riku as a token of the indelible darkness in his heart.''

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep
Captain Hook wreaks havoc in the world of Neverland ten years before Sora's visit to the world. He encounters Terra and Ventus during the game. He is attacked by the Unversed while he and his first mate Mr. Smee search for treasure. Hook finds several Starcrystals, admiring their beauty and value. He later appears before Peter Pan on Skull Rock. The events following this are currently unknown. In a recent commercial, Captain Hook is shown battling Ventus, showing that he will appear as a boss battle once again.

Kingdom Hearts
In Kingdom Hearts, Captain Hook has joined forces with Maleficent to use the Heartless to defeat Peter Pan. His vessel is used as a transport for Riku to Hollow Bastion. Sora, Donald and Goofy arrive on his ship in Neverland. They team up with Peter Pan, who is trying to free Wendy, who has been imprisoned on the ship. They do battle with Captain Hook, and, just like in the movie, send him fleeing from the crocodile when he is defeated.

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
Hook makes an appearance in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories as a figment of Sora's memories. He met his demise when Sora challenged him with Peter Pan.

Hook also appears in Riku's story-line, as a figment of his memory and a representation of the darkness inside him.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
In Days, the island of Neverland is explored, along with the previous places on Captain Hook's ship. Captain Hook and Smee are seen digging holes around the island, searching for treasure. However, instead of treasure, they find Heartless, who are attracted to Captain Hook's greed. Eventually, it is revealed that Pete is the mastermind behind it. Pete had created a series of maps leading to the Heartless, hoping to turn Hook into a Heartless. When Smee digs up the final hole, Captain Hook is ecstatic that this one has real treasure. Just when he is about to collect his rewards, Pete turns the treasure into a Heartless. Luckily, Roxas is there to dispatch the giant Heartless, allowing Captain Hook to escape to his ship. In the end however, his greed came full circle when the Heartless crashed into his ship.

Personality
Captain Hook is very arrogant and full of himself, and gets angry if someone insults him. He tends to hold a grudge against Peter Pan for stealing his hand and feeding it to the crocodile. In the Disney movies, he is portrayed as an excellent manipulator and liar. Two examples are when he manipulated Tinker Bell in the first movie and Jane, Wendy's daughter in the second movie. He is cowardly and sometimes acts like a wimp, particularly when he hears the sound of Crocodile coming close by. However, he is also an excellent sword fighter and a bomb expert, which makes him quite a challenge for Sora and Peter Pan when they fight him.

Origin
He first appeared in Disney's "Peter Pan". His role is the same in the movie as it is in the games. He's the main antagonist of the film and tries to seek revenge on Peter Pan for causing him to lose his hand to the Crocodile.

In the original book Captain James Hook was the Pirate Captain of the Jolly Roger. His origins are all but unknown, only showing that he was a school teacher and a Sword champion before his life of crime. Hook came to Neverland because he thought that there would be treasure, and he was right as the book makes reference to Peter Pan and the Lost Boys having fun by stealing his treasure and making him find it all over again. Hook also made references to "Good Form", something he picked up in his teaching days. When ever he fights Pan, he always tries to make the fight to "Good Form" as a habit. But when the fight gets slower, he will try to win by tricking Pan. Peter would call him on it by saying "Bad Form", but Hook would always find a way of making it good again, usually by saying his life was at risk. One point that the game doesn't use is how cruel Hook really is. This point is made both in the book and in the 1953 film, when Hook shoots one of his men. The Disney film made this a little child safe by making Hook get annoyed with his singing. The book Hook just shoots him out right, just to have a little fun.

Quotes

 * "Blast you, Peter Pan!"
 * "And the brat's friends are the king's lackeys. Swoggle me eyes, they're all bilge rats by the look of them."
 * "I'll get you for this!"
 * "Shut up!"
 * "P-p-Peter Pan-- Blast you!"
 * "Curse you, Peter Pan!"
 * "I'll get you, if it's the last thing I do!"

Trivia

 * Interestingly, Captain Hook is voiced by Corey Burton in the English version (who also voiced many additional characters such as Yen Sid in Kingdom Hearts II and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep and DiZ (Ansem the Wise) in Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories) and Chikao Otsuka in the Japanese version (who also Master Xehanort in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep and is the real-life father of Akio Otsuka, the Japanese voice actor of Ansem (Xehanort's Heartless) in Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories and Xehanort in Kingdom Hearts II and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. 
 * Captain Hook and Hades are the only Disney villains in Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories to use sleights.
 * Sora can leave the boss battle with Hook anytime by walking into any of the two doors on the ship, and returning to the battle will have Hook at the same health as when you left. This makes the Captain Hook boss battle the only boss battle where Sora can truly leave the arena at will (with Oogie's Manor, however, Sora can only leave the arena when he is on the Bridge). This is similar to Port Royal in the way that when Sora travels by ship, he may have a short fight with Heartless ambushers. However, Sora can enter the inside of the ship and come back out, in which case the fight never continues.
 * Humorously, if Hook falls from the ship in his boss battle on Kingdom Hearts, he can be heard saying "You won't get me other hand!" as he jumps back on the ship. This is a reference to the Crocodile, who is hiding in the water.
 * Captain Hook is one of only two Disney villains who is not actually fought on one of the games he appears in. While fought in Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep, and both storylines of Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, he is not battled in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, despite appearing prominently in the Neverland missions.
 * Captain Hook (along with Hades) is one of only two Disney villains to survive a final battle against Sora.
 * Hook is the only member from Maleficent's Council of Villains to not reappear in Kingdom Hearts II
