[[File:Beneath the Hood 03 KHREC.png|thumb|left|Data-Riku first appears before King Mickey, Donald, Goofy, and Data-Sora.]]Data-Riku was selected by [[Namine]] to keep the untainted memories of [[Kingdom Hearts (game)|the first journey]] from being corrupted by the "hurt" she added to the journal. Data-Sora encounters a [[Black Coat|black-coated]] figure on the digital [[Destiny Islands]], who gives him cryptic clues and leads him to a [[Keyhole]]. At that moment, Data-Riku decided that reinforcements would likely be needed to debug the [[Datascape]], so he used the conncetion to the real world to bring Mickey, Donald and Goofy inside; however, he kept this from them as he needed to have Sora get stronger alone first.

Data-Riku reappears in the data versions of [[Traverse Town]] and [[Wonderland]], giving more cryptic messages and occasionally lending Data-Sora assistance as he works to destroy the bugs and corruption in the worlds' data. Each time a world in the journal was fixed, Data-Riku was able to access the data deeper; each time a vision appeared in his mind and found its way back to the monitor Mickey and the others were watching. Believing Data-Sora had developed a more open mind to the impossible, Data-Riku decided to it was time to reveal the truth about their existence. Data-Riku opened a [[dark corridor]] to lead him to the Datascape version of [[Disney Castle]].

Data-Riku appeared before them and revealed that he was not the real Riku, just like how Data-Sora was not the real Sora. After giving them the long-winded version of what he is, Data-Riku simplifies his existence as the personifaction of the journal itself. He revealed that he brought them all into the Datascape to uncover the mysterious message, "We must return to free them from their torment", that appeared in the journal. However, before they could discuss this further, a someone broke into the Datascape from the outside and severed the connection to the real world, leaving Mickey, Donald and Goofy trapped until the bugs are completely removed.

As Data-Sora continues visiting the worlds in the journal, Data-Riku stays in Disney Castle, guiding Sora through the monitor. When Data-Sora reaches the digital [[Olympus Coliseum]], Riku tells him that the reason he did not reveal himself to Sora earlier is because he wanted Sora to become stronger. He discusses with Sora whether they are data or artificial, and Riku says that it does not matter as long as they can make an impact to the world and help their friends. They discover the intruder is none other than [[Pete]] (as the journal has no record of Pete, there can't be a copy of him in the Datascape). As Pete is not bright enough to act on his own, Data-Riku suspects the real [[Maleficent]] is not too far behind.

When Maleficent destroys Data-Sora's Keyblade in [[Agrabah]], Data-Riku and Mickey come to help. However, Maleficent and Pete capture Riku and take him to [[Hollow Bastion]], where they infect him with bugs, unaware that this could destroy the Datascape as all the data was inside Data-Riku. Later, when Data-Sora defeats Pete in Hollow Bastion, he summons the bug-controlled Data-Riku to fight Sora. After Sora defeats Riku, Riku collapses, with Bug Blox fused with his body. Mickey arrives and tells Sora that unless all the bugs in his body are destroyed, Data-Riku will never wake up.
