As revealed in ''Kingdom Hearts'', Riku's story began a number of years before the night of the heartless invasion on [[Destiny Islands]]. On an earlier night, there is a meteor shower and [[Kairi|a mysterious girl named Kairi]] appears on the islands.  Apparently, Kairi is from another, far off world, and is now stuck on the Destiny Islands, with no way to return to her home.  The two and Sora, another resident of the Isles, quickly forge a powerful friendship.  Soon after Kairi's arrival, Riku and Sora go to the secret place, a small cave that they frequently explored. Sora finds it fascinating, but soon decides to take his leave.  Before leaving, Riku catches sight of an enigmatic door. From this day on Riku became obsessed with finding out what lies beyond the door, wondering if it could perhaps be a passageway to another world, such as Kairi's.

When the first game begins, Riku appears as a cool and collected 15-year-old, a year above his best friends Sora and Kairi, living on the Destiny Islands. The three spend their days constructing a raft and gathering supplies, so that they might one day set out and search for other worlds.  He and Sora share a fierce but good natured rivalry, competing over who is stronger in battle as well as over Kairi's affections, among other things. All three of them, as well as the other children that live in the archipelago, spend most of their time on the smallest island, acting as their own personal playground.
