Story
Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance
Joshua meets Riku in the Third District of Twilight Town. He sits atop the arch over the fountain and tells Riku about the goings-on in town. When Riku rejects his offer for assistance, Joshua tells him that he knows Sora and that he is in the same world with them. With a little more persuasion, Riku finally agrees to let Joshua be his guide around Traverse Town.
When Joshua and Riku reach the Second District, they are confronted by Beat, who challenges Joshua in the belief that he can return to his own world with Rhyme if he beats him. Joshua stands aside, watching with amusement as Riku fights and defeats Beat's Dream Eaters, and chuckles after Beat concedes the fight in frustration. Neither of them notice Riku passing out, and neither are there when he comes to.
After Sora defeats the Hakozaru in the Fifth District, Joshua appears before him and explains that he and Riku are in two seperate versions of Traverse Town, as Sora sees an illusion of Riku and the unknown figure in the black coat. Riku sees a similar image of Joshua, Sora, and Rhyme after he defeats his side's version of the Hakozaru.
Later, Joshua speaks to Sora and Riku simultaneously, between the two sides of Traverse Town. He explains the nature of the dreaming Traverse Town, telling them that the world seems entirely the same but also altogether different. He also tells them about how they are able to see each other is because of the strong bonds between, using Neku and Shiki and Beat and Rhyme as examples. When Sora and Riku ask in unison if he has any friends with strong ties to him too, he just chuckles and says, "Maybe." At that word, ethereal angel wings sprout onto his back, surprising the pair, and he flies up into the night sky and disappears.
On Sora and Riku's return trips to Traverse Town, Joshua coordinates between them in order to defeat the Spellican. Template:Section-stub
Appearance
Joshua is a lanky, fair-skinned teenager with scraggly ash blond hair and lavender-colored eyes. He wears a white button-down shirt, with a fairly exposed neck and collar. Joshua wears dark grey pants and plain white shoes with black laces. Joshua can also manifest shining blue, ethereal wings on his back.
Origin
Yoshiya "Joshua" Kiryu is a character from Square Enix's The World Ends with You. A sly and precocious boy with an incredibly deep view of the world around him, he is shrouded in mystery. Joshua partners with Neku in the beginning of Neku's second week of the Reaper's Game. Joshua is an illegal player, meaning he didn't die to enter the game, but joins it anyway since he claims he can see the dead and has watched the Game many times. During the week, Joshua looks for the "Shibuya River" with Neku, using a tracker Mr. Hanekoma installed in his and Neku's cellphones.
