The following is a list of known Keyblade wielders, characters who have successfully wielded a [[Keyblade]] in battle. Not included are characters who have held a Keyblade only for it to return to the hand of its true holder, such as [[Leon]] or [[Jack Sparrow]], as a Keyblade will refuse to be wielded by anyone without a strong enough heart.

==Keyblade Masters==

===The Master of Masters===

[[The Master of Masters]] is responsible for creating the Book of Prophecies using his gift of foresight, as well as for training his six apprentices, [[Luxu]], [[Ira]], [[Invi]], [[Aced]], [[Ava]], and [[Gula]].

<!--IT IS NOT CLEAR FROM THE SCENE WHETHER MoM ACTUALLY "OWNED" THE NO NAME IN THE SENSE THAT MAKES ONE A KEYBLADE WIELDER, OR IF HE JUST MADE IT TO BE IMMEDIATELY GIVEN TO LUXU; GOAT SYMBOLISM INDICATES IT IS LUXU'S AS MUCH AS THE OTHER FORETELLER BLADES ARE THEIRS. WAIT FOR CLARIFICATION FROM CANON ON WHETHER THAT COUNTS-->

===Master Invi===

[[Invi]] is the leader of the Anguis Union, and one of the six apprentices of the Master of Masters.

===Master Gula===

[[Gula]] is the leader of the Leopardus Union, and one of the six apprentices of the Master of Masters.

===Master Ira===

[[Ira]] is the leader of the Unicornis Union, and one of the six apprentices of the Master of Masters.

===Master Aced===

===Master Luxu===

{|class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" border="0" style="width:100%"

===Bragi===

[[Bragi]] is a vessel of Luxu. He poses as a Keyblade wielder under the tutelage of Master [[Odin]].

===Xigbar===

{|class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" border="0" style="width:100%"

===Master Ephemer===

[[Ephemer]] is a Keyblade wielder who desires to find the true purpose behind the gathering of [[Lux]] and the structure of the World. He later inherits the [[Master's Defender]] from [[Brain]] and goes onto become the founder and first Keyblade Master of [[Scala ad Caelum]].

===Master Odin===

Master [[Odin]] is the Keyblade Master who trained [[Xehanort]], [[Eraqus]], [[Bragi]], [[Vor]], [[Hermod]], [[Urd]], [[Baldr]], as well as seven upperclassmen. He wields the [[No Name]] and [[Master's Defender]] Keyblades, and respectively passes them down to Xehanort and Eraqus at the end of their [[Mark of Mastery exam]]s.

===Master Xehanort===

[[Master Xehanort]] is a Keyblade Master that devoted himself to the darkness, wishing to obtain the [[χ-blade]] and thus enter [[Kingdom Hearts]]. To this end, he contrived numerous plots and manipulated many people into becoming pawns of his device. Eventually, he used his Keyblade to transfer his heart into [[Terra]]'s body, becoming [[Terra-Xehanort]] which eventually was split into [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]] and [[Xemnas]].

{|class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" border="0" style="width:100%"

===Terra-Xehanort===

After Master Xehanort possesses Terra's body and becomes [[Terra-Xehanort]], he retains the ability to summon his original incarnation's Keyblade, though he wields it like Terra would. Terra-Xehanort used his original incarnation's  Keyblade to fight the Lingering Will and Aqua. After being defeated, Terra's heart begins to fight back, causing Xehanort to stab himself in order to rid himself of Terra, but accidentally sealing his memories and thus his ability to wield a Keyblade, ultimately forgetting everything but the name "Xehanort".

{|class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" border="0" style="width:100%"

===Master Eraqus===

[[Master Eraqus]] is a Keyblade Master who protected the [[Land of Departure]] and served as [[Terra]], [[Ventus]], and [[Aqua]]'s teacher. After Aqua was named a Keyblade Master, Eraqus told her the secret responsibilities that came with such a title. Eraqus was slain by his former friend, [[Master Xehanort]].

===Master Aqua===

Master [[Aqua]] is a Keyblade Master who operated before Sora ever embarked on his first journey. Her standard Keyblade is the [[Rainfell]], but it later transforms into the [[Stormfall]]. Aqua's Keyblades are of average length in comparison to Terra and Ventus's; she inherits Eraqus's Master's Defender after she finds the abandoned weapon in the Land of Departure, which is slowly being swallowed by the darkness. Aqua's attempt to save Terra after he falls into the Realm of Darkness causes Aqua to lose her Keyblade; the Master's Defender becomes her only weapon in the dark realm.

===Anti-Aqua===

[[Anti-Aqua]] is Aqua after having been corrupted by the darkness beneath the End of Sea by [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]]. Despite having no Keyblade of her own, she is able to wield Mickey's Keyblade which she stole.

===Master Yen Sid===

Master [[Yen Sid]] is a retired Keyblade Master who now watches over the Lanes Between and counsels with stars for guidance, and appears to be the original owner of Mickey's Star Seeker Keyblade. After the catastrophic battle at the [[Keyblade Graveyard]], Mickey returns the Star Seeker, believing that he has failed Yen Sid, but Yen Sid hands it back, encouraging him.

-->

After the Heartless plague began and worlds began disappearing, Mickey set out to find a Keyblade from the [[Realm of Darkness]] in order to seal the Door to Darkness alongside a Keyblade from the Realm of Light, and stop the Heartless. He obtained the [[Kingdom Key D]] during that journey. The Kingdom Key D is identical to Sora's Kingdom Key, except that the colors are reversed, the hilt being silver and the blade gold. Some materials give this Keyblade the name "Kingdom Key DarkSide".<ref>[http://ssl.square-enix-shop.com/usa/detail.php?id=57 KINGDOM HEARTS MASTER ARMS KINGDOM KEY DarkSide]</ref>

While investigating [[Jiminy's Journal]] after the defeat of Xemnas, King Mickey returns to wielding his Star Seeker. He then switches back to the Kingdom Key D when he went to rescue Sora from Master Xehanort's clutches.

<!--source for fusing the two?

As a result, Mickey fuses Kingdom Key D with Star Seeker, creating Star Cluster, which he continues to wield on his journey to rescue Aqua and defeat Xehanort.-->

===Master Riku===

Riku's Soul Eater eventually matures into the [[Way to the Dawn]], his true Keyblade. This Keyblade represents Riku's nature as a being of light and darkness in both name and form. Riku was also able to summon a second Keyblade in the form of the [[Destiny's Embrace]], which he gives to Kairi as her permanent Keyblade.<ref>'''''[[Director's Secret Report XIII]]''''', p. 28; '''Tetsuya Nomura''': "There isn't just one Keyblade for the side of light and one for darkness. There are as many Keyblades in existence as there are hearts qualified to wield them. At this stage, the only requirement that has been made clear is that someone must have a "strong heart", but there are other requirements that haven't been spelled out yet which I plan to reveal another time when I have the chance. Riku's Way to the Dawn and the Keyblade Kairi wields are of the same nature as Sora's Keyblade. However, what with one having developed with the Soul Eater as intermediary and one having been handed to Kairi by Riku, I would like you to think that something not fully explained, outside the usual method of acquirement, is going on here."

===Ventus===

[[Ventus]] is a Keyblade apprentice from before the events of the first ''Kingdom Hearts''. During the age of fairy tales as a member of the [[Dandelions]], he originally wielded [[Missing Ache]]. Ventus would later go on to use a different Keyblade named [[Wayward Wind]]. His Keyblades are often shorter than those of Terra and Aqua. During his final battle at the Keyblade Graveyard, Vanitas possesses his body in order to summon and wield the χ-blade. However, Ventus destroys it in the Dive to the Heart, using his own Keyblade. When Aqua tries to figure out where she should carry him to, Ven's body reacts and summons Wayward Wind to open the pathway to the ruined Land of Departure.

!style="width:16em; text-align:left"|Show Keyblades

===Vanitas===

As a being created from the darkness of [[Ventus]]'s heart, [[Vanitas]] uses a Keyblade of his own called the [[Void Gear]]. Aside from his own Keyblade, he comes into possession of the legendary [[χ-blade]] after fusing with Ventus; due to their failure to meet the requirements for forging the weapon on their own, however, this version of the χ-blade proves to be incomplete and unstable, eventually leading to its destruction by Aqua and Ventus.

{|class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" border="0" style="width:100%"

===Ventus-Vanitas===

[[Ventus-Vanitas]] is the result of the union between Ventus and Vanitas during their final battle. As such, Ventus-Vanitas is able to wield the [[χ-blade]], though it is an incomplete version due to lacking the proper number of hearts needed to complete the weapon.

Sora is sometimes able to use other wielders' Keyblades; for example, when fighting [[Roxas]] he is able to steal Roxas's Oathkeeper and Oblivion, for a total of three Keyblades, and at one point during their final battle with [[Xemnas]], Riku lends his [[Way to the Dawn]] to Sora.

===Roxas===

As the [[Nobody]] of Sora, [[Roxas]] is also able to wield the Kingdom Key. In fact, Roxas was able to wield the Keyblade at the same time as Sora because his Keyblade was "lost" by Sora in [[Castle Oblivion]]. As the "Key of Destiny" of [[Organization XIII]], Roxas is the only member able to actually collect hearts. Like the other Organization members, Roxas is able to modify the form of his weapon using [[Gears]].

===Xion===

[[Xion]], the fourteenth member of [[Organization XIII]], can wield [[Roxas]]'s Keyblade due to the fact that her [[Replica]] body is intended to siphon his powers; however, the Keyblade she normally wields is nothing more than a sham. She is created from the memories belonging to Sora that Roxas holds. As a being created out of memories, she was able to use the Kingdom Key to manipulate the power of light in the same way that Sora and Roxas can. When acting as a member of the [[real Organization XIII]] and as one of the [[Guardians of Light]], she inhabits a new replica body and utilizes a real Keyblade.
