Neku is one of the first characters to appear in the ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|series}}'' series who originated from something other than ''Disney'', ''Kingdom Hearts'', or ''Final Fantasy'' fiction, although he is from another game that is property of Square Enix, as well as being designed by Tetsuya Nomura. Neku and his friends are meant to serve as tutors to Sora and Riku, in the same role as Leon and his friends from the first game.{{fact}}<!--cite to Nomura--> | Neku is one of the first characters to appear in the ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|series}}'' series who originated from something other than ''Disney'', ''Kingdom Hearts'', or ''Final Fantasy'' fiction, although he is from another game that is property of Square Enix, as well as being designed by [[Tetsuya Nomura]].

While looking for [[Riku]], [[Sora]] stumbles across Neku, who is hanging off of a nearby roof. Neku jumps down from the roof, asking Sora if he will help him in "the Game", but after looking at Sora's palm, he realizes that Sora is not part of the Game. He shows Sora his own palm, which is marked with his remaining time in the Game—just over forty-three minutes. Sora offers to help Neku win the Game, and though he comments that he was looking for a partner, Neku refuses, saying that they've just met and can't be considered friends yet. Neku leaves to continue the Game, and Sora chases after him. When Sora catches up, the pair is attacked by [[Dream Eater]]s. | While looking for [[Riku]], [[Sora]] stumbles across Neku, who is hanging off of a nearby roof.

After quickly disposing of the Nightmares, Neku explains the concept of Spirits to Sora and teaches him how to create one. They are once again caught off guard by Nightmares and the two are forced to split up. Sora eventually catches up to Neku in the Third District where they are confronted by a man in a black coat, whom they later learn was a [[young Xehanort]]. Neku tells the man that he had brought Sora, and it was time for him to hold up his end of the bargain. The man motions to attack Sora, but Neku jumps in front of him in defense, saying "You said you wouldn't hurt him!" As Neku tries to hold off the hooded man, Sora suddenly blacks out. | After quickly disposing of the Nightmares, Neku explains the concept of Spirits to Sora and teaches him how to create one.

Sora later catches back up with Neku in the Fifth District, who is feeling some regret for betraying Sora. Always willing to forgive, Sora looks past it and presents [[Rhyme]] to him, hoping that he'll be able to jog her memory. A giant Nightmare appears and Sora quickly defeats it. After that, [[Joshua]] appears and explains the nature of the Sleeping World to Neku. Neku disappears after being reunited with his Game partner [[Shiki]] with the help of Joshua. | Sora later catches back up with Neku in the Fifth District, who is feeling some regret for betraying Sora.

Later, Neku and Shiki are confronted by [[Spellican]]. However, they are greatly outnumbered as more Dream Eaters arrive at the scene. After Sora appears to assist them, Neku introduces him to Shiki, but becomes embarrassed when he talks about how desperate he was to find her. Joshua appears and explains they need to trap Spellican. As Sora and Shiki chase after Spellican, Neku tells Joshua that he considers him a friend as well and hopes to see him in Shibuya. | Later, Neku and Shiki are confronted by [[Spellican]].
