Joshua, along with [[Neku Sakuraba|Neku]], [[Shiki]], [[Beat]], and [[Rhyme]] are the first characters to appear in the ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|series}}'' series who originate from something other than Disney, ''Final Fantasy'', or ''Kingdom Hearts'' fiction, although they are from another game that is property of Square Enix, as well as being designed by Tetsuya Nomura. | Joshua, along with [[Neku Sakuraba|Neku]], [[Shiki]], [[Beat]], and [[Rhyme]] are the first characters to appear in the ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|series}}'' series who originate from something other than Disney, ''Final Fantasy'', or ''Kingdom Hearts'' fiction, although they are from another game that is property of Square Enix, as well as being designed by [[Tetsuya Nomura]]. | ||

Joshua meets Riku in the Third District of Traverse Town. He sits atop the arch over the fountain and tells Riku about the goings-on in town, asking for his assistance in locating a girl named Rhyme, whose dreams he has been using as a Portal to another version of the town. Riku refuses initially, but when Joshua implies that Sora might be on the other side of the Portal, Riku reluctantly agrees to help him out. | Joshua meets [[Riku]] in the Third District of Traverse Town.

When Joshua and Riku reach the Second District, Riku asks why the [[Dream Eaters]] don't attack Joshua. Joshua answers that the Dream Eaters "only attack dreamers", and that for some unknown reason, even though Joshua has plenty of dreams, he apparently isn't one, as the Dream Eaters pay no attention to him. When Riku wonders if he himself is a dreamer, Joshua says that "all human beings are dreamers." At this point, Joshua gives Riku the [[Komory Bat Recipe]] to assist him in battle. | When Joshua and Riku reach the Second District, Riku asks why the [[Dream Eaters]] don't attack Joshua.

Just as Riku's new [[Dream Eater#Spirits and Nightmares|Spirit]] friend materializes, Beat charges into the District, shouting threats at Joshua due to someone telling him that taking Joshua down would result in him and Rhyme returning home. Joshua insists that Beat has been tricked by "that rogue in the black coat", a remark that immediately catches Riku's attention. Beat, having had it with Joshua's "inverse psychiatry", summons a [[Kooma Panda]] Dream Eater to battle Joshua and Riku. The Panda, however, is a Spirit, and ignores Joshua's presence completely, wanting rather to play around with Riku's Komory Bat. Several Nightmares appear, Riku dispatches them and the Kooma Panda. Beat then relents, explaining that he would been willing to try anything to save Rhyme. While he doesn't notice himself, Joshua ignores Riku passing out, and neither is present when Riku wakes up again, as they are still in the other dreaming of Traverse Town. | Just as Riku's new [[Dream Eater#Spirits and Nightmares|Spirit]] friend materializes, Beat charges into the District, shouting threats at Joshua due to someone telling him that taking Joshua down would result in him and Rhyme returning home.

After Sora defeats the [[Hockomonkey]] in the Fifth District, Joshua appears before him after saving Rhyme by using her as his portal between dream worlds, and explains that he and Riku are in two separate versions of Traverse Town, as Sora sees an illusion of Riku and [[Young Xehanort]] that Joshua creates. Riku sees a similar image of Joshua, Sora, and Rhyme after he defeats his side's version of the Hockomonkey. | After Sora defeats the [[Hockomonkey]] in the Fifth District, Joshua appears before him after saving Rhyme by using her as his portal between dream worlds, and explains that he and Riku are in two separate versions of Traverse Town, as Sora sees an illusion of Riku and [[Young Xehanort]] that Joshua creates.
