==Characters==
==Characters==l familiar faces from [[Traverse Town]] in the original game.
===Key Characters===
Most of the key characters from ''Kingdom Hearts'' return, particularly heroes Sora, Riku, and Kairi, as well as constant party members Donald and Goofy. [[Mickey Mouse|King Mickey]] also returns, having a much larger role in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' than his cameo at the end of the first game. Old foes also return, most notably Maleficent.
 
A number of characters first featured in ''Chain of Memories'' also make comebacks in ''Kingdom Hearts II''; most prominently involved are Naminé and DiZ. [[Axel]] of Organization XIII also makes a return appearance, the only member to appear in both games; the Organization members featured in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' are all new to the series. Also new to the series is the mysterious Roxas, and Maleficent's new lackey, [[Pete]].
 
===Disney Characters===
In addition to the Disney characters that return from ''Kingdom Hearts'', there are also characters from several Disney features making their ''Kingdom Hearts'' debut, most notably characters from the previously unexplored worlds of ''Mulan'', ''Pirates of the Caribbean'', and ''Tron'', as well as a world dedicated to Disney's older black-and-white works, [[Timeless River]]. New but familiar characters have also been added to all of the returning worlds.
 
Other characters make prominent appearances in the original Kingdom Hearts worlds of Twilight Town and Hollow Bastion. Yen Sid the sorcerer, Mickey's master in the movie ''Fantasia'', makes an appearance, inhabiting a mysterious tower. [[Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather]] from ''Sleeping Beauty'' give Sora his new outfit. [[Scrooge McDuck]] also has taken residence in Hollow Bastion trying to recreate a "salty flavored ice cream". Merlin returns to Hollow Bastion, now allied with several familiar faces from [[Traverse Town]] in the original game.

It had been stated by game designer [[wikipedia:Tetsuya Nomura|Tetsuya Nomura]] that, although the first game strictly stuck to characters Nomura designed, this time around they were going to "take some risks", allowing characters from ''Final Fantasy'' games without involvement from Nomura to make appearances. The involvement of characters from ''VI'' and ''IX'' are the result.
